In this document, as summarised by the Standard corespondent, M. Deloncle-sys the present Convention is not so favourable to France as the treaty of October 3, 1893; nevertheless he con- siders it may have good results. The present Convention might become the starting point for supplementary accords, which are recom. mended by M. Deloncle in the course of his report. By the signature of those supple mentary accords, Siam would incontestably secure the friendship and good offices of the French Republic and the dismiterested and loyal assistance of French engineers, savants, Jawyers, and capitalists. If, on the contrary, Sian should persevere in the ambitious warlike policy she inauguarted twenty years agongainst the rest of Indo-China, and if she should refuse those supplementary accords demanded by France in the interest of Siam herself, it would, declares M. Deloncle, be very unfortunate for that country. With these observations, M. Deluncle, in the name of the Committee, de- mands the Chamber to ratify the Convention.

THE ATTACK ON THE "SONNTAG," Paruculars have been made public of the shelling of the German trawler Sonntag on the Same night that the attack was made on the Gamtwock fleet. The captain of the Sonntag reports that his vessel was first subjected to the scrutiny of the search lights. Then the Russian warships opened fire from all directions, at the rate of 83 shots per minute. A cargo steamer which approached during this fusilade drew on herself the fire of the Russian ships, the shells bursting around her.
WHAT FRIGHTENED THE RUSSIANS.
The admiral of the Gamecock fishing fleet fired a bomb rocket on Friday, the 22nd Oct., as a signal for netting. This was probably the "cannon shot" which frightened the Russians. Particulars of the firing by the Russians on the Swedish schooner Alderbaran state that she was ·ubjected to a perfect hail of bulists. She was on her way from Hall to Gefle, in Sweden, and, was attacked at Skagerrack, an arm of the North Sea between Denmark and Norway, The Alderbiran escaped woinjured,
