No credence is given to the report. The statement' published on Wednesday that the Japanese nad 44 invested and captured Port Arthur is also discredited. A representative of the Press Association had an interriewyestcrday with a leading member of the Chinese Legation in London, who expressed himioif as follows I am amased at tbe persistence with which utterly untrue reports to the prejudice pi the Chinese are fstill beinc circulated in many of the ETitlir' newrpper.

Many of these reports are not only unfounded, but are in flsgnnt opposition to the facts. The story that Ebenr, tbe Taotai ox Tientsin, had absconded in disfrace on account of allered orruption connected with the purchase of munitions of war is a case point. are in oaiiy comnmnioaiioa with him, aad he continues sot only in the discharge of bis ordinary official duties, but is intruited with other verv important busineuwhich woold certainly not be left in tbe bands of a. discredited official. Sbenc has not bad anjthlnf to do with tne purcbase oi rtaa, but is employed in connexion with tbe comrnis unat and it is not true, as stateOj tnas ne is reiaiea to the viceroy, or that tiling cnanr aonnr an intexTiew slapped bim on tbe face.

Nor is there any truth In the reports that Chang Tabi Tounr went on a mission incognito to Pakin, or that a rebellion had broken out in bJs provroce. He remains at oofiianff, and the rorernment in his distneta U'undisturtied. Such false sUtements aa tnote I rcler to are not mere mistakes, but must be deliberate labrications, devised i in order to make ill informed persons letters that tbe Chinese Empire is about to fall to pieces. I haTO information which rather leads me to believe that tbe Japaneas Empire i really in greater internal danger. Too Japaneaa people wlto miu iuiuuwiui of tho prolonged ourden of the warsndthe enthusiasm with which in the first instance tbey bailed tbe attack upon China is said to be materially abating, li mey cannot secure some decisive victory soon and of that there appears to be little prospect there is likely to be an increase of discontent among the subjects of the Mikado.

The battle of Ping Yang was fought more than; a month ago, and the Japanese hare not made any material advance since, which is very when the approach of winter's severity make every dar and even every hour of vital importance to them. This is inexplicable on any other assumption than that the Japanese resources are about exhausted and that; they have no adequate reserves.

BERLIN, OCTi 18. After" an early visit to the Emperor Frederick's. mausoleum this being the anniversary of his birthday the German Emperor came with the King of Scrvia to Berlin to day to attend the ceremony of tho dedication of the 132 standards to be presented to the new Fourth Battalions. In spite of' the inclemency of the weather, overy point of vantage was crowded with eager sightseers, and tho picturesque military spectacle which accompanied the, dedi cation and presentation ot tno standards well repaid their trouble. he King of Servia, who, standing by tho.aide of the JSmpress, watched the ceremony from the balcony of tho old Emperor's Palace, was visibly interested and impressed.

Nothing, indeed, could exceed the perfection with which the movements of such large bodies of troops were carried out in the comparatively limited space between the Linden a a. a 1 and tne Koyai.raiace. mongsc ine crowd oi Royal and illustrious personages who were pre sent may ne mentioned jrnnce xienrv ox jrrussia, the Grand Dukea of Baden and of Mecklenburg, Princo Alfred of Saxo Cobufg Gotha, Count von Caprivi, and; tho veteran Field Marshal von Blumentbal.

From the steps of the sitae, the senior army chaplain, Pastor Frommel, who wore the iron cross outside his canonical gown, delivered a stirringaddress on the significance of the occasion. Upon the conclusion of this address the standards were sunk to. receive the blessinir. The end of the religious ceremony was announced by the fixing of saiuto guns. The Emperor then ptesented the standards to the new battalions.

In a short address his Majesty reminded them ox the many associa tions which were connected with October' IS in tho history of Germany.

At the same time, Dr. Lieber has dispelled any doubts about the attitude' of tho.

Ultramontano party towards repressive legislation by a speech in which, whilst expressing the readiness of all Uoman Catholics to stand by the Emperor in the fight for 'religion, morality, and order, he pours ridicule upon the quack' remedies of the Conservatives, and professes continued confidence in the Imperial Chancellor, who was the first to place before tho country in the debates upon the Education Bill the great issue of Christianity versus Atheism.

It is generally believed that in the Leist case the Foreign Office will appeal to a higher tribunal rom the.recent decision of tho'Court of Discipline. Herr Leist conduct, after a careful inquiry on tne spot, was denounced by tne representa tive ot the public department under which he served as having caused a rising against the Emperor's authority and brought disgrace upon the naine of the German Empire.

Beuter. PRINCE FRANZ LIECHTENSTEIN. VIENNA, Oct. 18. The choice of so prominent a personage as Prince Franz Liechtenstein for the post of Austro Hungarian' Ambassador to the Russian Court has more importance in existing circumstancescircumstances than it would have had a couple of yeara ago.

Tho future Ambassador will find ample scope for his unquestionable ability at a moment when it looks as if St. Petersburg were about to become one of the most difficult European diplomatic posts to fill. Count Wolken stein; has represented his country in Russia for last 12 years with distinguished success, but latterly his healthy has given way and be has been desirous of removing to a less rigorous climate. The Emperor and Count Ealnoky have for two years past been anxious to find some one to succeed him. There were two members of the Austrian diplomatic service, Count Deym and Count Hoyos, who would doubtless have; been considered suitable nominees for the post, but in both instances there would probably have been some hesitation in accepting it owing to private and family considerations.

Prince Franz Liechtenstein.when a young man, was attached to the Legation in Brussels, and six years ago he was intrusted by tbe Emperor: with a mission to the Pope. About that time he wasj ouered one of tne Austrian Legations abroad, butf not wishing to leave his brother, the reigning Prince, who is an invalid, he declined the Prince Franz Liechtenstein has devoted much' of his time to literature and art' and is well known in the literary oiroles of France and Italy. He speaks French like a native and is a first rate classical scholar. He is known as a most agreeable and accomplished cauaeur. On the occasion of his visit to St.

Petersburg some seven years ago, where he accompanied hia nephew who was attached to the Russian Embassy, he met with a cordial reception at Court and is said to have made the best possible impression on the Russian Imperial Family The Prince is in his 41st year, and his now certain appointment setsms; likely to prove the opening of a brilliant career.

These conditions include sw writteo proBaiee on tho part of the Liberals to vote for the appKea tion of the principle rf universal saT.rae (pare and simple) in the communal and previaeial elections and to vote against tho Protectionist measures of the Clericals.

MM. Jansoa and Frfrxm, with nine Progressist colleagues, have agreed, to give this promise, screening their dignity behind the affirmation that the stipulations ot the Labour party contain nothing they have not themselves already adopted and defended. The staseh Liberals, however, in spite of. the entreaties ol their friends in the Pros, have refused so far to sign the required undertalring. They resent the attempt to wring conditions from them, Kid are possibly fortifiea in their attitude by the opprobrium neaped upon their allies by the Catholic omns.which endeavour to place theProrressists in the light of servile dependents upon the CHDCUU SU.

The support of the Clericals is offered upon the condition that M.

This fact ia generally attributed to overproduction, but probahly: it was rather owing to the publication of many worthless books, probably issued by the new firms. Good books would, in all likelihood, have ound purchasers ia spite of tbe genera 1 depression or trade. Mr. J. P.
