FRANCE AND RUSSIA IN THE EAST..

Things look anything but serene Sianwards. 2 French proverb. In truth all sensible, The Tonkin press states that the Government level-headed Frenchmen and there are bave the intention of occupying Korat and many such are beginning to find the Bassac. Is there not an Anglo-French Con. revers of the much-sung alliance with allvention dated January, 15th, 1896, signed in the Russias anything but a pleasant one. Undoubtedly, the compact was, and is still, both necessary and useful to France so far as European politics are concerned. Her lonely situation, menaced by the terrible combination of the Triple Alliance; product of Bismarck's master brain, was indeed a dangerous one. It

GENOA STRIVING TO OUTSTRIP MARSEILLES.

at

The last report of the French Consul Genoa, in which that official showed the great efforts which the Italian port is making to out strip Marseilles and how rapidly, in fact, it is overtaking its rival, has attracted much atten tion ir Paris. The French Consul, seeking to explain this rapid change, naturally referred to the frequent strikes in the French port as one of the chief causes. But the French Conser vative organs, not content with this explana- tion, have all along held that, if Marseilles was LOSING GROUND,

Paris, according to the terms of which, both these powers make formal promise not to oc- cupy any point in the basin of the Mekong river or its tributaries unless by inutual consent? Bassac is on the right bank of that river and Korat is on a tributary of the same, and situated about 120 miles N.E. of Bangkok. It is in was therefore natural that she should be drawnteresting to note that Ouban and Battambang, towards Russia; who had herself everything to fear from the ambitious policy of Germany. Dut amongst the millions of patriotic French- men who rejoiced, with just reason, over the new combination, there were few who imagined that ten years later they would be obliged by the force of circumstances, (borrowed-millions make a string upon which a lively time cau be played) to uphold, and perhaps fight for, their ally'sambition in the Far East. France's colonies have never paid for themselves, and probably never will so long as they ate hedged round by an exorbitant protective tariff. When the late M. Rousseau Governor-General, Indo-Chica borrowed 80,000,00 francs from the Metropolis; under the administration of M. Doumer she borrowed 200,000,000; all this to build railways-railways which the colonial press are the first to declare will never pay. To ensure the payment of the interest on the loan this interest was guaranteed by the State-pearly all the necessities of life to the native have been laxed. Salt, areca nut, tobacco (native), and rice alcohol have been subjected to roxation or turned into State mono. polies, which is worse; and now must France, for the ultimate benefit of her Russian friend, build forts, coaling stations, considerably in- crease her naval forces in the China Seas and her colonial army. Yet the sensible, level headed Frenchman, already mentioned, has no desire for colonial expansion; he knows what it costs. Well then ......Yes! but the Anglo-Japanese alliance! Sh.' the bogey is out of the bag Poor bogey, be must be tired. Perhaps some day the strings which make him dance will break, the bogey will then have a rest; but the people who pulled those strings will have a very big bill to pay to aomebody.

M. DOUMER.

It would be a very hard task to write a detailed history of M. Doumer's long adminis tration in Indo-China. He left France as a Radical politician and his rule, once he had

taken over the direction of affairs, was a mix ture of that of an Emperor with absolute power and of a commercial traveller of no mean ability. On his arrival he rushed all over the country; from north to south and from east to west, at the average speed of 50 miles a day, which is not to, be despised in a country where there was only about 100 miles of railway. He visited all his subordinates, and their name is

legion. He investigated all the services, residencies, public works, custom house atc., and reorganised them, He concluded that all that was then wanted, to ensure the prosperity of the colony, was to endow It with railways. There was no money forth. coming. He went home in a rush; saw the Ministry, interviewed financiers, boomed Indo- China to the skies, and got z00,000,000 francs, or rather the authority to loan them. Rail ways have been built and others are building. Some run through the fertile delta land others will run through miles and miles of mountains which produce nothing but fevers and many wild animals; though these last will perhaps ultimately penetrate into the Yunnan, But that is another story, The lines which are built bring no goods from the interior. The rice, which is mostly exported to Hongkong, comes down to Haiphong in junks by the numerous and splendid waterways which run far up into the country. Where will it all end? The interest on the loan must be paid. The native does the best part of that. The capital must also be paid in instalments. Only Governors General and their aides who go in for that mysterious art called Budget making will know who does that. The late Governor was also desirous of extending bis territories. It was at his earnest instigation

For Mar seilles has, at yesterday's elections, at last shaken off the tyranny of the more extreme school of Socialists, and the Temps implies to night that the general decline of the port is a movement now bound to be arrested argument is evidently a dangerous one. It is not even clear that the relatively greater rapidity of the rise of the port of Genoa is due to the numerous strikes at Marseilles, and it is still leas clear that it was due to the mayorally of Dr. Flaissières, happens to be a Collectivist,

CLOSED THROUGH FEAR OF A WHOLESALE COLLAPSE.

The Cathedral of Gothenburg, built in 1815. is threatened with the danger of collapse.

The experts, who have made a careful ex amination of the base of the tower, which is

178ft. high, declare that the piles on which it was erected are completely rotten, and they express apprehension as to the safety of the edifice, which has, in consequence, bren closed.

As in Venice, there are a number of water- ways in Gothenburg, which is the largest town but one in Sweden, and it is probably the dampness of the ground which has under- mined the cathedral.

QUAKES IN ITALY.

CAUSE PANIC TO THE PEOPLE OF MANY PLACES.

Much terror was caused recently to many towns in Italy by shocks of earthquake varying in intensity and lasting from 'three to nine seconds at a time.

The motion was fell most severely at Lucca, Genoa, Pien, Spezia, Massa, and Pontedera while it was also observed in Carrara, Rome, Siena, Florence, Padua, and Rocca di Papa.

The shocks all occurred · Just about the same time, at twenty-five to twenty minutes before midnight. No damage is reported, but the panic in some towns was great. At Spezia and Massa in particular the people rushed out of their houses and remained in the streets for the whole night.

UNHEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF

THE TRUST SYSTEM.

Gount Matsukata, who is on the point of leaving Russia for Japan, travelling vid the Siberian route, in the suite of Prince Komatsu, discussed with a correspondent at St. Petersburg M. Witte's proposal to call a congress to con- sider what action could be taken to put a stop to the unhealthy development of the trust system, and admitted that he did not regard: the suggestion as at all practicable. Ho did not see what good such a congress would do, and he expressed the opinion that some of the great modem syndi- cates were more likely to end in failure than in success. He also spoke of the difficulty experienced by China in paying the indemaity to the Powers, and said it was but another proof of the inconvenience of maintaining a silver standard. He hoped that the lesson would not be without affect on the Chinese Government, and would lead them to adopt the more stable gold standard. The represent

atives of the Powers would, however, have done better if they had stipul red that the indemnity should be assessed in English money, as was done at the close of them between Phica and Japan

The lady had determined to attempt the ascent of the Finsteraarhorn over the ridge on the eastern side, hitherre deemed impracticable. A good start was made in company with the well known guides. Ulrich and Fainuich Tulcer

CROUCHING AMIN THE ROCKS

During the first day the little pasty was surprised by a terrific thunderstorm, which rendered advance impossible. They were in an extremely dangerous position at the time, but made their way to a little niche in the rocks, a partnerly inadequate shelter, in which they crouched, waiting patiently through the long hours for the storm's fury to expire

The lighting, which was intensely vivid played round the spot and even struck Misa Bell's ice A. Reavy stones crashed down from above and a fearful! fall of rain and know came on, which, as the night slows dingued by, semused to show an abatement.

DACK TO THE GLACIER

When the dawn at last came they crept out, cramped and frozen, to find everything covered with the dense pall of snow. To go on was to court certain death, so they reluctantly decided to attempt the hazardous return by the glacier of the Finsternarborn, Words can scarcely describe the thrilling danger of the journey. where every path was obliterated, where every

All day, laboriously and cautiously, they toiled, until, to their intense satisfaction, they reached the glacier by night-fall. Here again, soaked to the skin, almost rigid with cold, and faint with hunger, they passed a fearful' night. What little devices could be resorted to to im prove their miserable position they tried, tying their feet in the long-empty food bags and using their ropes as pillows; and it speaks well for their pluck and endurance that through this most trying episode they kept up their courage and never despaired of reaching safety.

THE PLUCKY CLIMBER.

Finally on the third day they braved the elements and the dangerous descent, and made their way back to Grimsel, where the utmost anxiety had reigned as to their fate.

Miss Bell was surrounded by half-weeping friends, delighted at her return and proffering "Give me CHINA'S FEATHERED ORACLES. all kinds of comforts and advice.
