Kuala Lumpur, 19th May. There was a crowded meeting of the Literary and Debating Society, on Saturday evening, whereat the subject of 'ebate was the proposal udvanced, by Mr. Loke Chow Thye, to the effect that "the first step in Chinese reform lies in cutting off the queue."

The proposal, which was valiantly opposed by Mr. Cheah Ben Teat and others, was warmly discussed, about a dozen members delivering impassioned speeches.

On a ballot being taken, it was found that nineteen members had voted for the removal of the towchang, and eighteen against.

Port Arthur, at 7.40 p.m. on the 4th inst., witnessed the blowing-up and sinking of an enemy's gunboat of the Gilyak type in front of Chengtanshan, probably, by our mines. Another Russian gunboat, some destroyers and steam launches, that appeared as if engaged in clearing mines outside Port Arthur, hastily fed inside.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

Whether or not the proposition to send Rus. sia's Baltic fleet to the Pacific by way of the Arctic Ocean is seriously entertained at St. Petersburg, it is certainly provoking wide com. ment. That fact alone is more or less a con- demnation of the scheme. The very discussion implies a recognition of its perilous and auda cious character. No such sensation would be created by an announcement that the same. "This war-r is a gr-reat sthrain on me, Hin- vessels would be dispatched to the same destin- nissy," said Mr. Dooley. "I lay awake atation through the Mediterranean, Suez Canal Whatever may be the nights considerin' th' death an' destruction, and Indian Ocean. that is goin' forward behind th' veil that the considerations of policy that have suggested the Press einsors have drawn across th' fair face iv idea, therefore, every sane and intelligent per san must perceive its dangers.

"Fwhat is happening there, anyhow?" asked Mr. Hennessy. De ye think the Rooshians is

"There ar-re divargint opinions on th' pint," replied Mr. Dooley. Let us first consider the message in th' speshui correspondint iv th' New York Trumpel. He cables as follows:-

THE ORIGIN OF THE BURMESE RACE.

In the current number of Buddhism there is an interesting and scholarly article under the above title from the pen of Taw Sein Ko. The writer favours the view that the name "Burma" is derived from Braba. Prome, he argues, means "the City of Brahma," and there is every reason to suppose that, in the first century A. D., when the lugitives from Prone found a refuge at Pagan, they were known to the surrounding tribes as the people from the City of Brahma, or simply as the Brahima people. We can find room for only a few extrats from the paper:-

From the first immigration of the ances

it would be necessary to winter at some point on the Siberian coast-which is not exactly rapirl transit. Greely and Peary are even more sceptical. In fact, the majority of Americans who have had practical experience in Arctic navigation look upon the venture as foolhardy. Dr. Cook is an exception to the rule. He is a trifle more sanguine than the other authorities just quoted, and he cites in support of his belief the fact that Nordenskjold, with the Vega, m.de the voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific without serious harm. The precedent is not a happy one, however, because the Pega was obliged to spend a winter in Arctic seas and took over a year to complete the voyage. Again, one must offset against that instance the sinking of the Feannette. Nansen's famous feat does not throw much light on the prospect, because he committed the Fram to the control of drifting ice, and she remained in it for over a year. Still further, it must be remembered that both the Vega and the Fram were built so as to withstand pressure from the ice on their in th' pisin. "The only accommodation Isides, and had great powers of resistance below can kindly set aside fr th use iv carryspon- the water line.

that the Russian fleet would be piloted by one or more ice breakers. These are useful institu tions, but there is a limit to their capacity. On Lake Baikal, for instance, they operate "Your reasoning is instructive but inton-only in summer. It is safe to say that at that clusive," said Mr. Dooley.

natives of India are still known in the Straits Settlements. The Talaings are now found in the Irrawaddy, Pegu and Tenasserim Divi-

stons. Considerable numbers of them are also

found in Siamese territory, having been driven hither by the Burmese invaders of the Alompra flynasty."

"The Shans are now found in the Chiadwin valley and on the northern and eastern borders of Burma. The Shan language, which is closely related to Chinese, presents very few dialectical varieties. An educated Siamese from Bangkok can understand a mountaineer of Khamti; and a Shan from the banks of the Chindwin river can carry on an intelligible conversation with a Tai pedlar on the Chinese frontier. This remarkable unity of language over such a wide area indicates that at one

period of then history the Shans must have possessed a strong political organization and a widely cultivated literature. The unification of the language must have been effected either at Manchao in Yunnan, which was conquered by Kublai Khan in the 13th century A. D., or at Kamboja or Cambodia, the ancient empire of the Khmers, which was also a great centre of Shan civilization in the Indo-Chinese Penin- sula. Cambodian influence in the valleys of the Salween and Irrawaddy rivers ceased with the foundation of the Kingdom of Siam, with Ayuthia as its capital, in 1350 A. D. Kamboja was also known as Champs, aud its people were called Cham, which has been corrupted into *Shan,' the appellation applied by the Burmans to the whole Tai race. ...

"Reference has been made above to the incursion into fadia, in the second century B. C. of the Scythian or Tartar tribes. It is remarkable that some of the Tartar customs should have prevailed in Burma. The coin. cidence cannot be ascribed to mere accideal, or to the common mechanism of the human mind, but must be due to the heritage of the race. A universal custom, which extended for a thousand years over the whole of Tartary,

There would be no certainty that the breadth of an avenue opened by the pilot would be maintained long enough to insure the advance of the convoy, and there would be no, guarantee of immunity after the gap narrowed.

This custom lasted among the members of the Burmese Royal Familly for about 2,000 years from the th century B.C. to the 15th century A. The left side was the most honourable, and officials were appointed in pairs, one for the Left and the other for the Right. The heir to the throne was called the Eastern Prince. There were certain superstitions re- garding the position of the sun and moon, and touching certain days in the calendar. In all important undertakings, the state of the moon was taken into account, the waxing period being considered more auspicious than the
