THE HEIR 70 THE RUSSIAN- THRONE.
Interesting particulars are given in a St. Petersburg telegram, dated 12th ult, of the birth of a son and heir to the Russian throne. The birth so greatly wished for, that of an heir to the Russian Crown, says the wire, occurred in the Alexandra Villa, one of the group of four small palaces in a secluded corner of the magnificent Peterhof Park at 12.30 pm. on the 11th. In one of these buildings the Empress had been living for weeks. The other three occupied by members of the Imperial Family gathered there in expectation of to-day's event, including the Empress' mother, His Majesty and two sisters, the Grand Duchesses Xenia and Olga, his brother Grand Duke Michael, and other relatives. The Alexandra Villa is a much more private spot that the Grand Palace. From this section of the Park the public had been excluded for days past.
The birth of the heir to the throne was at tended with all the ceremonial ordained by Imperial tradition. In accordance with the Russian law there were present besides the Emperor, Baron Frederick, the Master of Cere monies, and Prince Dolgorouky, the Grand Marshal of the Court. Dr. Rott, the Emperor's Family Physician, was the accoucheur, and Dr. Hiruchi, surgeon in attendance. Dr. Rott per Bonally announced the birth of the heir to the waiting Imperial Family. A formal announce ment will be published in the "Official Mess- enger." An Imperial salute of a hundred and one guns was subsequently fired from the Peterhof, and it was then repeated by all the forts around St. Petersburg.
The christening of the heir will occur in a fortnight. It will be a ceremony of the most elaborate sort. In accordance with Russian Imperial custom, it will be performed in the Imperial Chapel of the Peterhof Palace. The child will be christened Alexis.
TZAR HAPPY.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 13. This morning the Empress and the heir to the throne are both making satisfactory pro
gress.
An Imperial manifesto is published, an nouncing the birth of an heir. It requests all Russian subjects to offer their prayers for the prosperity of the heir to the throne.
In receiving the congratulations of his Court yesterday, the Emperor, in a brief reply, said:
"I am happier at the birth of a son and heir than at a victory of my troops, who are now facing the foe calmly and without alarm, know.

ALLHGED LARCENY
AND FALSE PRETENCES, This morning Mr. F. J. Badeley, Captain superintendent of Police, charged Chan Chong Pak, third clerk in his office, with obtaining the sum of $60, by means of false pretences, and with larceny of the same, from Li Seng, a coolie contractor to the Hongkong and Shang- hai Bank. The facts, briefly stated, were to the effect that about the middle of last month Li Sang called at the prosecutor's office to renew six truck licences, for his trucks, which had expired. He went to the defendant at his desk and asked him to fix up his licences, and gave him 360 ($10 for each licence). The lalter agreed to secure the licences, and put the money in his drawer. The defendant had nothing to do with the issuing of licences and no authority to receive money on behalf of the Government. That money was never handed over to the accountant. Li Sang was told by defendant to return in two or three days when the licences would be ready, When he returned he was told to call again, and he did so, the defendant being out at the time so he asked the accountant for his licences. He was asked

It was announced early in June, says the cable, that the French were mobilizing 10,000 troops on the borders of Kwangsi, and that the Chinese Viceroy of that Province had tele-attend. graphed to Peking for instructions. The Government at the Chinese Capital, it was added, replied that he was to take all possible precautions against a French invasion, but to make no trouble. The French officials asserted that this concentration of troops was im- peratively necessary to protect the overland trade against raids by Chinese outlaws, owing to the rebellion and pillaging that prevailed throughout South-China, and which the Chinese authorities were unable to check. Later it was said that unless China suppressed the rebellion in the Province of Kwang-si, the French Government threatened to send troops across the border, and put it down. This re- port, however, was subsequently denied from Peking. The French Legation there emphati- cally repudiated the idea. It was pointed out that the trouble in Kwang-si, though serious from a Chinese point of biew, caused no us casiness to the French, the disturbances being in the northern part of Kwang-si, and not near French territory.

The capture of Lhassa by the Eleuths at the beginning of the eighteenth century has been quite overlooked in the recent voluminous literature on the Thibet question, remarks the Globe Mr. Boulger remind us in the Nine teenth Century that Tse.Wang Rabdan, one of the greatest rulers that Central Asia ever pro. duced, took the city in 1710 shortly after the disappearance of the old reigning dynasty of Tibet, and the establishment of the Dalai Lama in its place. In earlier times Tibet had been ruled by a line of princes, who waged-war and made peace on equal terms with the Emperor of China. Until the year 1635 the Buddhist priests had been content with their priestly duties, and the name of the Dalai Lama hod not been heard of until the first- Manchu
