The War.

Reuter's Correspondent, with the special permission of the authorities, has visited Port Arthur which the Russians claim to be capable of two years' resistance. Two bodies of troops are making a parallel march to- wards the Yalu, with Phyeng as the objective, and, while advancing troops to the Yalu, the centre is being strengthened and prepara tions made to defend the railway and the North Gulf Coast. The Russians admit their unpreparedness, but are now hurrying forward re-inforcements.

COMING EVENTS.

For the delectation of its readers during the holidays a London journal published two columns of prophecy which could not fail to interest those who take pleasure in anticipating events in which they may, perchance, take part. The prophici-the Prophet Baxter we imagine -tells us of twenty coming events Some of them are likely to be far-reaching, if we may believe him, and some of the most momentous are to occur within a very short, space of time. The whole of the two score prophecies are to be fulfilled between 13 6 and the end of this age in Passover week on May 2, 1929, or April 9th, 193" In these matters it is well not to be too rigid in regard to a few seconds for cataclysms do not conform quite strictly to fixed principles and it is useless to try and chain up a thunderbolt er confine a waterspout within a flume.

THE EMPRESS DOWAGER For several days all classes of Chinese have been talking about the death of the Empress Dowager. How the rumour of her death started is not known, but there has been a great deal

talk about it. The general verdict is that the news too good to be true. The runout is that the death took place on the 30th of last mon, ie, Feb. 15th.
