The Emperor of Russia and the King of Spain sach sont to M. Poincare a mas sage of congratulation. That of the Emperor expressed the belief that the ties which unite France and Russia would be drawn still closer to the greatest possible advantage of the two allied and friendly nations.

***There is something more than the usual newspaper chorus of congratula tions to mark the peculiar singi ficance of the advent of the new President," says the "Times,"

"The opinion now appears to prevail with more than half of

The "Daily Mail", of the 20th more accurately re- garded resumption of hostilities an likely. It stated that the Bal- kan delegates in London regarded war an inevitable and offered the opinion that the Turkish reply to the note of the Powers dissipated the vague and slender hopes of peace which bad been entertained. On the 23rd all the papers hailed pence as practically assured.

Lord Roberts Honoured.

HONGKONG POLICE.

Truth "of January 22 has the following:-

Policemen at home who feel tempted to join the force at Hong Kong would do well to make in quiries of others who have taken that step. Judging from a letter I have received, the replies will not be encouraging. The nom inally higher wags leaves a man practically worse off than he would be in the poorest paid force at home, and other conditions, including very unsatisfactory lot in Hong Kong not a happy quarters, make the policeman's
