Sheffield and Rotherham Independent from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England • 4

THE SHEFFIELD AND KOTHERHAM INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1896 Thanks to the mediation of Father Sabela and very little difference in the consumption of cigars, but such an increase would need to be balanced by a reduction in the overwhelming rate imposed upon ordinary tobacco. This, as we have said, is a very old grievance but it is a real grievance, and one of which hundreds of thousands have practical experience every day. bourg, with other members of the House of Commons, he said, after expressing his strong opinions of the character of the then French ruler, It may be said that those who stand my position ought jiot to say anything that excites national animosity and I respond to that sentiment. But, sir, tile farmer who goes to sleep, having placed the watch-dog, 'Tear 'en: over his rick-yard, hears that watch-dog hark.

He, in the anger of half-somnolence, says, 'I wish Tear 'em would be quiet, and bawls out of the window, Down, Tear Tear 'em' does go down; the farmer goes to sleep, and he is awoke by the flashing in at his windows of the light of his ricks on fire. I am Tear I tell you to beware. What is the meaning cf Cherbourg? It is a standing menace to Eng 82 bottles thrown into the sea to test the currents in the first six months of this year. The longest drift, says the Nautical Magazine," is that of a bottle from the St. Enoch, thrown overboard in 8deg.

Near Ushant the neighbourhood of the scene of the last great sea disaster all the bottles drift eastward, and Commander Sigsby, the hydrographer, says that "sufficient information as to the surface iVift of this most important region has now been gathered to enable us to state definitely that it is eastward into the English and St. George's Channels, except when diverted or ning of the century we had gained world-wide empire, but it is only within the last generation that the nation has come to realise the significance of its Imperial destiny. To the Queen had fallen the happy accident of ruling when these pregnant changes have been going on, and they will be named in history by her just as the name of Elizabeth is associated with an earlier national revival.

To all who realise what the Queen's reign has brought to England, it will seem a most felicitous circumstance that that reign, so faultless in its personal aspects, so beneficent because of its coincidence with a great wave of scientific discovery and achievement, has also the distinction of being the longest in our annals.

Dissenters at our Universities may also be grateful for his influence. He was a bright and broad-minded man all round. It looks as if the Terrace were intended to still remain one of the daily features of Parliamentary fife during the session. There was some hope that restrictions would be imposed, and that they- would diminish the crowd.

But the Chief Conuiiist.icnr is putting up a bigger bell to bo rung when divisions are on, and this hardly looks as if ho expected fewer people and less noise on the terrace. Or is it merely a suggestion from the Whips in the interests of larger majorities, and to remove the excuses made by the young members that they were on the Terrace and so did not hear the bells, and did not vote? The possible President of the Royal Academy has not yet been, found. One or two names of eminently suitable persons haw been on the tapis, but, when pressed, the answer has been Suffer me to be excused." The list of eligible persons is thus being steadily reduced, and by the time the council meets for the election a month hence, about two names only will remain. The selection will thus be comparatively easy, and there will be ready acquiescence all round. But the distingruished man tiu Councillor J.

The insurgents were finally driven back by reinforcements, losing 100 killed and wounded. THE QUEEN'S REIGN. To-day the reign of Queen Victoria exceeds in length that of any previous English Sovereign, and we are all glad that such a happy and fitting consummation should have been reached. In every respect except nominal length for the king whose record has just been broken ceased to really reign years before his death the Queen's occupancy of the throne has long ago surpassed all other reigns.

It has been the most honourable reign so far as the Sovereign is concerned, the most happy reign for the people, the most hopeful reign judged by the outlook to which it has brought us. When Victoria became Queen, as a girl in her "teens," nobody could have guessed that her heritage would have such a splendid growth as the world has witnessed. She has reigned while modern England has been made an England dramatically unlike the England of sixty years ago. From being an essentially aristocratic country, in which manufactures wer" locked down on, and in which the industrial population was but little removed from slavery tempered by insurrection, we have become a growingly democratic people, until every party in the State now appeals openly to the people's will as the ultimate power in the realm. Napoleon has been credited with the prophecy that before fifty years were gone and he died seventy-five years ago Europe would be Republican.

Since that time the power of the people has increased far beyond anything that Napoleon dreamed of, and with that increase of power, in the freest and most advanced country in Europe, has come a buttressing of the throne. Never at any moment in her long reign was Queen Victoria as absolutely secure in the affections of her people as she is to-day. So much is this personal loyalty to the Queen accepted as a matter of course that it seems almost superfluous to mention it. We have not far to go to find the reasons for this deeply-felt confidence. Though she has never been a nonentity as a ruler, during her record reign she has never made a serious mistake.

More than that, she has so moved with the times as to be in accord with necessary changes. Most of all, her character and family life have been of that homely yet dignified kind which appeals powerfully and naturally to English people, and more particularly to English women. And then, lastly, she has grown old in our midst as one of the people, opening her heart to her countrymen and countrywomen when she has been in trouble, sympathising df cply with them when they, too, have been afflicted, and we all feel, whatever our theoretic views of government may be, that we have a very strong human, partly pathetic, interest in and loyalty for one who represents a fine type of womanhood, and has faithfully done her best by her people for so many years. The Queen's age endears her to her people her services command their respect and there is a strong feeling abroad that her wisdom and the reverence in which she is held by her children's children count for much, and count entirely for, good in the government of the world People who aro closely intent upon future progress are sometimes in danger, in their eagerness, of overlooking the advances made in the immediate past, even when the story is more encouraging than that told by any other age. It may safely be said that the world has never known such a sixty years as falls within the reign of our Queen, It is inconceivable that this period should ever cease to be memorable, however great the future strides of science.

In it came the great shrinkage of the world through railways, steamships, and telegraphy. The late W. R. Greg pointed out, in one of his moat brilliant essays, that the quickening of communication was wholly new. When Alexander the Great wished to send news of a victory home to Greece, the best he could do was to gallop relays of horses hard.

Two thousand years later, Napoleon could only do the same- Now, we in Sheffield are within a few minutes of Dongola. But the showy marvels of electricity are poor in serious results compared with the acceleration of trade and the alteration, of the conditions of omhsed life, brought- about by the universal adoption of steam as a working force on adoption associated with the Queen's reign, though, of course, steam was in partial use long before The practical assertion of the solidarity of the Kiiman jace through trade Free Trade belongs to this period aad it baa brought in its train to the people of this country a general distribution of wealth unknown at any time in any laud. There are metlaops badly off enough, God knows, and the wider distribution of prosperity is no reason why efforts for securing more equal happiness for mankind should be slackened, but the general improvement is clear. Contemporaneously with the increase of national and individual wealth have come the broadening of human freedom, and the elevation of the of men through education. Literature run been brought down to the people, and has gained rather than lost by being popularised, for bocidifcy has been made the first ozm.

Where readers were formerly counted by tens, they are now counted by hundreds, and in some by thousands. At the same time, the tone of pnhhc thought has been raised, the pubhc oon-atienee has beau sensitised, brutal customs have almost disappeared, and purer paeasuree have taken their places. Morally and inteUeotnally, as well as politically, soterstifiealry, and economically, the nation has made a forward stride winch ages to oome win not be able to overlook. It is in this period, too, that weJMnaemaasb CAMPAIGN LONGOLA KE-OCCUPIED BT THE DERVISHES. SEVERE FIGHTING EXPECTEr RELICS OP HICKS PASHA'S EXPEDITION.

Clarke, of Barnsley, which throws further light on the conduct of the West Riding police, and strengthens the claim for a proper investigation of their relations with the public. Unfortunately Dr. Clarke's remarks on this question do not hold out much hope of effective action being taken, unless the matter can again be brought under the notice of the Home Secretary or the Local Government Board (as the superior authority to the County Council Joint Committee), and that at a tune when Parliament is not sitting is a difficult thing to do. Possibly, however, the Joint Committee may at length be impressed that something is wrong, if they find that public sympathy and support has entirely been withdrawn from the official guardians of law and order. It is time our governors, or rather our servants, were taught the lesson that in England at any rate puplio opinion is a force to be reckoned with.

The more we hear of the Crimean monument wreath affair the more apparent does it become that under the guise of patriotism a party move was, and is being now, attempted by certain local Conservatives. sir Frederick Thorpe Mappin in his capacity as Town Collector de clined to consent to a wreath being laid at the foot of the Crimean Monument by the Atnol Conservative Association on the ground that it would create a precedent and lead to many applications for similar permission. It must be obvious to any reasonable person that a permit which would lead to general applications of this kind is not a thmg to be given lightly merely because it is asked, but Sir Frederick Thorpe luappm is suojectea to insinuations rrom a lory quarter to the effect that he refused permission because the wreath might remind the Sheffield public of something that Mr. Gladstone did or did not thirty years ago when the Crimean war was on. Any charge more childish could scarcely be imagined, but it serves to show the real feeling in the Quarter from whence it comes.

Suspicion we know "haunts guilty and when people are suspicious that certain results were "feared" from the placing of a simple wreath we may take it for granted that those results were desired by the suspicious parties. So that patriotism is once more being 3 1 1- I i7 ubbu oro uiuajk or party Aoryism in snemem. THE RATEPAYERS' LAMENT. The following rhyme is by hand that will easily be recognised City fathers, high and mighty, Te who guard the pubhc purse: Though your schemes are often flighty, Be to reason not averse. You have used your power of taxing, Sending rates up with a bound.

Zeal in this' way ne'er relaxing Eight and fourpence in the pound! Wonder not the toiler rages, Every dog will have his day Think of those whose hard-earned wvrea Go to swell officials' pay. Strong the protest; fierce and hitter Is the strife your projects raise; Pause, ere thus the rates you fritter By your headstrong, spendthrift ways. Gain 8 ford, cease your necromantic, Prestidigitator's role! Roberts, by your speech pedantic, Tempt not failure at the poll. Engineering skill sufficient Only waits your beck and call Choose the best and most efficient, Stop commissions once for all. For the Sheffield blades are thrifty And object to quarter time.

And the pounds in thousands fifty, Point the moral of this rhyme. H. P. A correspondent writes informing us that a Political Economy Class has lately been started in Sheffield. It is not so much a class as a debating society; Mill's work is the text-book, and the members take it in turn to lead the discussion on various portions of the book.

This seems an admirable arrangement, although might suggest that Mill, although still the standard economic work, needs nowadays some diluting with more modern thought, such as may be found, for instance, in Marshall's "Economics cf Industry." The meetings are held in the Wentworth Cafe, Pinstone street, on Monday evenings at eight o'clock. Mr. James Hill, chairman of the Sheffield branch of the English Church Union, writes to ns to state that that Union did not submit to the Pope any question concerning the validity of Anglican orders. "To the English Church. Union," he continues, "the validity, i.e., thi Apostolicity of ordination of the Priesthood of the Church of England is a fact beyond question.

The pity is, that the head of the Romish Church does not acknowledge the fact, and cease to perpetuate a grievous schism, in our land." Commenting upon the St. Leger, a writer in To-day says Coming back from the races, I interviewed a butterscotch seller on the subject of his business. I asked him how it was that Dcncaster was so famous for its butterscotch. It took the man a long time-to answer my question, but, in the end, I learned that butterscotch was first made in Doncaster in order that racing men might have no trouble in thinking what to take home to their wives after the racing was over. Ingenious idea, wasn't it? I was not surprised to see that such a cute man was doing a roaring trade.

The Tramway Special Sub-Committee who are on their Continental tour will, if local papers are forwarded to them by their friends, be gratified to know that in their absence the Corporation tramways are still as successful as tiie earlier weeks of the undertaking promised. Our readers will have noticed that during the week ended 20th September the receipts showed an increase of 128 15s. over the corresponding period of last year. People who were inclined to be sceptical as to the success of the Corporation undertaking are gradually, if unwillingly, being converted by the figures, which every week give a practical contradiction to the prophecies ot fJure- One gentleman was heard in a tramcar this week to suggest that the advocates of municipalisation were crowding the trams for the express puroose of proving their theory that municipal management would be a success. That suggfestiou, however, could scarcely be taken seriously, even by the gentleman who made it.

Whatever may be the reason the tram service is certainly more ponular and more successful than it ever has been before. It was an affecting sight yesterday, at the opening of the BakeweH School, to see two such venerable gentlemen as the Duke of Rutland and Mr. R. W. M.

Nesfield taking part, side by side, in a function of such importance to young people who, in ordinary course of nature, will not realise the full benefit of the education they are now receiving till these two veterans have gone to their rest. Mr. Nesfield, who has been steward to the Manners family for many years, is 81 years of age, and the Duke is a few years his junior. To see two gentlemen who have long passed the allotted span of life still active and rigorous in doing good work for the ooming generation is not only a pleasing sight, but an object lesson to younger men, who, in their respective spheres may emulate the example thus set them.

The "St. James's Gazette" once more de fends its proposal for a combination of England Ttaly, and the United states against the Sultan Our well-informed critics in the British it says, "have spoken rather disparagingly of the suggestion made by the St. James's Gazette' that the co-operation of Italy and the United States should be sought by England for a solution of the Turkish problem, apart from the Russian league of inaction. But if we had not so much respect for the opinions of our contemporaries the news which comes daily from Italy at any rate would really make us think there was something it.

From Milan Spezia, Rome, comes a continuous stream of reports of British and Italian co-operation. Our own correspondent sends us the same 'beliefs in MtiJ -informed Italian quarters' which are also communicated by the Italian correspon dents ot utuer journals, as ror America, we never suggested that any very active interference was expected from her. It is the 'moral support' of the United States which rnkrht make us strong, not her scanty equipment in war material, in at 'moral support' we evi dently have, though the Washing on Government naturally denies that any instructions have been given for action.

OUR LONDOX LETTER.

cnou ODE OWN COBSISrOHDBNT.) LONDON, Tuesday Night. With the arrival of the Tsar, who was evi dently pleased with his reception, a new element enters into the Eastern question, and speculation becomes more, pointed and acute. Fears for his personal safety whilst in Scotland have never been serious, and are now altogether at an end. He is probably safer at Balmoral than he was at St. Petersburg, and our own police admit that if there be any danger it will not be whilst he is on British soil.

The centre of peril will be Paris, and possibly this fact explains some of the recent arrests, whilst others are inexplicable and purposeless as far as the present situation is concerned. The general situation has undergone some trifling change which' looks as if it were for the better. Mr. Herbert, recently Charge d' Affaires at Constantinople, called at Vienna on his way home and he brought with him the latest news from that capital as to Austria's attitude in certain eventualities. He has been to the Foreign Office, and he has told his story there, though probably called and saw Lord Salis bury on his way to London after Iandinc at Dover.

In this connection it is important to note that a Foreign Office messenger left for Constantinople to-night with a new despatch to Sir Philip Carrie, dealing with recent affairs Lord Salisbury has not been idle. He had some highly significant interviews with the Rus sian Ambassador, before he went to Scotland, and thus informed himself of the latest views of the Russian Government, whilst opening his mind freely to M. de Staal, so as to clear the way for interesting conversations. It is whispered that the last interview showed much less difference of opinion, than had been expected, and ended in the promise of the Russian Ambassador to lay the result of the interview before the Tsar at the earliest possible moment. Thus an excellent opening has been made for what is to follow.

To-morrow Lord Salisbury starts on his journey to Balmoral, after calling at the Foreign Office to gather the latest news from the East. It will be a memorable journey, fraught with tremendous consequences to England and to Lord Salisbury himself, who isy very heavily weighted with a sense of the responsibility of his position and the gravity of the matter to be discussed and provisionally settled. The uprising of the country has made a profound impression on the Premier, who clearly sees that a false step now, or any false pride in dealing with or making overtures would be as fatal to England as it would be to the Armenians. I believe one point has been settled that Abdul Hamid is to be deposed by the joint action of several, if not all, of the Powers. Provision has to be made for what may follow, and it is this question which opens out so wide a field for uncertainty and even for disagreement.

Anarchy might follow. A provisional support to the new Sultan might have to be agreed upon, and a step taken in harmony with the maintenance of the status quo might precipitate a solution of the much longer question of -an future of Turkey. It is mainly on these points that a frank interchange of opinions would be so valuable. Tynan's position becomes less clear. It is now hardly thought that he will be extradited, and the papers respecting him re not for presentation.

Most likely he will be detained in custody until after the Tsar's visit is over, and his own appeal to the United States as an American citizen introduces considerable complication into the affair, which at no time was so simple as it looked to be. Mr. John O'Connor tells me that he has taken no action in the case, and that an unwarrantable use has been made of his name. It does not appear that any Nationalists are concerning themselves in Tynan's fate, or care very much what really becomes of him. Mr.

Gladstone's emphatic letter on the Hyde Park demonstration, which has been received tonight, has given great pleasure to the promoters in proof of his affirmation that political inspiration moves upwards, not downwards. He refers to his own action on Bulgarian affairs in 1876 being prompted by a Hyde Park demonstration then projected. This is an interesting personal and historic fact. The redemption of Ministerial promises one by one is very gratifying. The subordinate members of the Administration are doing very well, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has now joined them in the fulfilment of an undertaking made during the session.

The Pure Beer Committee cannot be objected to on the ground of its personnel, which is almost everything that could be desired. The agricultural party ought t3 be abundantly satisfied, and Mr. Quitter's jokes have not been in vain. But the brewers and publicans are not quite so well pkaaed. They may be said to be suspicious.

The view they take is that this Government, of all others, might have left them alone, after contending that beer was never so pure as it is now! The Committee is to report, if possible, in time for any changes to be announced in next year's Budget. We may be confronted then with an entirely new adjustment of the beer duty. Law reformers in this country are not so plentiful that we can allow the death of one of them to pass without a tribute of resnaotfnl land." It would seem to be within the bounds of possibility that the middleman before long must take a back seat. The Great Eastern Railway Company some time ago inaugurated a system under which agriculturists were enabled to send their produce to market at a very reduced charge and a reporter who called at Liverpool street Station, and interviewed a secretarial representative, was informed that the new system was very promising. "We wish to extend this arrangement over all our line, and hope to secure co-operation of the Midland and Great Northern Companies.

The effect of this new departure will be to bring the producer of farm produce into almost direct communication with the consumer. Farm and market garden produce will be conveyed to consumers by passenger train from most of the Great Eastern stations at a charge of 4d. for and a penny additional for every 51b or part thereof up to 601b.

liner the India is a marvellous speaking tube. Hitherto speaking tubes is use on steamers have necessarily been of limited length, owing to the fact that the vibration of the ship, more especially of ihe engines, has interfered with the passage of articulate sounds. Captain Rose, R.N., noting the causes of this drawback, has invented a speaking tube freed throughout its length from contact with the hull, clearly conveys messages even when the ship is straining at full speed. One of the speaking tubes in use on the India is 408 feet long.

If this cataloguing of messages should receive further development and a return be made of the motives or the different messages, it might-all prove interesting reading for loungers, but the posting of the mere numbers serves no rational purpose. We have in England a Shakespeare Society, and a Browning Society, and a Carlyle Society, and Burns' Clubs innumerable. At Cornell University, U.S., they have a Kipling Club, in which Mr. H.

Morse Stephens is a leading spirit. Mr. Stephens and his colleague refuse admission to every applicant who fails to pass an examination in Mr. Kipling's works. The members do not content themselves with reading and tllcing about their author.

They also illustrate him. One water-colour drawing has been described which shows that the Cornell enthusiasts spare no pains, but undertake some complicated and difficult tasks in honour of their hero. What Mr. Kipling himself thinks of the club has not been told. Early on Monday morning the employes of the Jardiu des Plantes (says the "Morning Post's l'aris correspondent) were awakened by roars from the direction of the crocodile's pond.

They hurried to the scene, and found two men and a woman trvmg to hoist a huge crocodile over the railings by means of ropes attached to the saurinn's head and tail. The crocodile was resisting and holding on to the railing with his front legs and roaring lustaly. The man and woman who were outside the railing fled on seeing the keepers, whilst the crocodile, thus partly released, furiously attacked the man inside the railing, chasing him round the pond, the man dodging and running zigzag and only escaping the brute's rushes with difficulty. The keepers succeeded in rescuing him, whereupon, tired out and terrified, he confessed that he was on ex-Marine Infantryman, had been Madagas car, and wanted to steal the crocodile and ex hibit it at fairs. He said he would have suc ceeded but for the interruption and that a porpoise" which is French sLuur for a Marine) should be able to come to an understanding with a crocodile.

A casual observer cannot fail to be struck with the lively appearance presented by the maidan of a cllar afternoon. Every available spot, as far as the eye can reach, is converted into a football ground, and it would be a rude intrusion to tread its sacred precincts. Each ground is the property of a club or clubs, for the use of which the police charge a nominal annual rent.

The more respectable clubs have tents pitched at convenient places close to the grounds, and the latter are kept in good order at considerable expense. The football season commences about the middle of June and lasts till the middle of October. Young Bengal take a very keen interest indeed in the game. Mr. Balfour's recent visit to Hawarden (rives point to a storv told in the October "Woman at Home respecting Mr.

Balfour and Sir Wm. Harcourt. A well-known London hostess, whose dining-room is neutral ground for politicians of all shades, says that Mr. Balfour, having accepted an invitation to dine with her on a particular night, her heart was filled with desire to have Sir William Harcourt also. The idea struck her as she looked down from the ladies' gallery in the House of Commons.

It was a tune when Mr. Balfour was still Chief Secretary. He had made a stinging repjy to an attack that had been made upon him bv the Irish members, and Sir William Harcourt followed, belabouring Mr. Balfour unmercifully. From time to time Mr.

Balfour jumped up, and, leaning half-way across the table, seemed as if he were going to seize Sir William by the throat, and have it out on the floor of the House. The next day the desire to bring the opposing politicians together grew upon the hostess with irresistible force. She wrote to Sir William Harcourt inviting him to dme, mentioning that Mr. Balfour would be present, and adding, "I will take care that you shall have the table between you as you have in the House of Commons." Sir William replied promptly accepting the invitation, but protesting that there was no need of the precaution suggested, since Arthur Balfour and I are the best of friends." Sc it proved, and the dinner went off with great success. "To Pekin in ten days" is the advertisement which a Chinese paper expects to see used by the tourist agents at no distant date.

When the great Trans-Siberian Line is completed there will be direct railway communication between Calais and the shores of the Yellow Sea, and on the somewhat hopeful presumption that the new system will be as rapid as "RngKb or American expresses, the distance between St. Petersburg and the capital of China will, it is stated, be covered in five days. A much lower speed would, says the same authority, take passengers in all comfort from Europe, via Vladi-vostock, to Nagasaki in a little over a fortnight. Majajie, "the mystical Queen of the Wood-bush tribes," whose death we announced- recently, was not, after all, the "She" of Mr. Rider Haggard's veil-known novel.

Indeed, Mr. Rider Haggard, in an interview in the "African Review," states that he never heard of Majajie till years after "She" was written. The romance sprang from his own brain, and in writing the book his main object, he says, was "to try to portray the probable effects of. practical immortality upon the known and ascertained quality of an erring and passionate but gifted mortal woman."

The meteorological forecast for this district to-day is: Westerly and north-weKteriy winds, strong, a gale in places squally and showery at but improving later. The Emperor and Empress of Russia aimed in their yacht the Standart, at Leith, anchoring Bear the Channel fleet, by which they were sainted.

They shortly afterwards were welcomed by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Conn aught. Having lunched together, the Russian Ambassador and Lord Rosebery being also of the party, they landed amid naval and military salutes and cordial popular demonstra tions. Addresses were presented. The weather was very wet, but notwithstanding this the party drove in open carriages through the docks and streets to the railway station. Both the Emperor and Empress seemed much gratified with their popular reception.

The Empress and ber baby were especially applauded. A very strong military force lined the streets. The forth Bridge route north was taken. A public meeting under the auspice of the St. George's Ward Women's Liberal Association was held in the Weston street U.M.F.C.

Schoolroom to protest against the Armenian atrocities. Mr. F. P. Rawson presided, and rousing speeches were made by the Rev.

T. W. Holmes, the Rev. J. L.

Pearse, the chairman, and others. Resolutions were passed condemning the atrocities and 'gsnring the Government of support in any a- to pot stop to tosher THE DONGOLA EXPEDITION. The events in the last few days of the Nile campaign have not been so simple their character as was at first supposed, and it is quite possible that the struggle for Dongola is not yet over. Our gunboats have certainly steamed up the river to the Arab stronghold, have done much mischief, and have received not a little, but they have steamed down again, after paving the way for the advance of the land force, and although Dongola is not yet in our hands, we may at any moment hear of its final capture. Meanwhile, we have learnt that the contest has not been wholly one-sided.

The clever tactics of the Sirdar fairly outwitted his antagonists, but Wad el Bishara and his men made a stout and determined resistance to our attack. Indeed, had it not been that the Dervishes made the fatal mistake of attempting to utilise the services of men whose sympathies were with the enemy, very serious damage might have been done. The story of the gunners who were employed to batter our vessels recalls the memory of one of the most dramatic and terrible incidents in the Soudanese oamjiaigna of a dozen years ago the utter overwhelming of the force of Hicks Pasha. All who survived that disas trous day were made prisoners by the Arabs, and they were Hicks's artillerymen who manned the guns which were directed from the river bank at our vessels, while Baggaras, with drawn swords, stood by to see that the captives did their utmost to destroy the attack of their rescuers. It sounds like an echo from the vfcue of Cyrus and Xerxes.

But the prisoners were, nevertheless, a for their masters. Aim the guns they had to, and fire them they had to; but the shells were discharged with un-lighted fuses, and the intention of the Dervishes was deprived of half its deadhness. One of these shells actually penetrated to the powder-magazine of the gunboat Abu Klea, and had it exploded, the result would inevitably have been fatal to all on board. Even as it is, the list of casualties has not been a light one, and at least one Englishman has lost his life. An other reminiscence of the Hicks disaster was the Nordenfeldt gun which the Arabs turned upon our forces a strange implement to be found in tnese barbarous hands.

But Hicks's guns and gunners have not availed against the brilliant conduct oi operations by the Sirdar, and the promptness and daring with which the troops, English and Egyptian, have carried out his plans. The dashing attack of the gunboats upon Dongola is an incident which does not suffer in picturesqueness beside any of the romantic episodes associated with British warfare in the Soudan. It was a shell from one of these vessels which had an effect that may have an important bearing on the campaign. A letter baa arrived from the Khalifis, and Wad el Bishara retired with some others to his tent to read it. In the midst of the reading there came a shell from the Abu Klea, killing several, and severely wounding the rfrm himself.

"The hand of God is against me!" the injured man is said to have cried as he realised the disaster that had befallen him. Wad el Bishara is the ablest general the Arabs possess, and not only is he bodily incapacitated, but the superstition of his race has apparently led him to see in his misfor tune an omen of disaster to his cause. Were our own forces superstitious, they might readily believe that the stars in their courses were fighting for them. Luck has certainly had something to do with their success, but much more is due to ability on the part of the leader, and efficiency on trtat at the troops. Apart altogether from political considerations, England has so far no fault to find with the conduct of her latest small war.

THE TSAR. The ruler of the nation which Englishmen have been apt to look upon as their great Imperial rival has been greeted on his entry into Great Britain with a hearty and sincere outburst of enthusiasm. It may be said that Eng lishmen or Scotsmen will cheer any celebrity whatever with indiscriminate fervour but there is a meaning far deeper than this in the welcome that was yesterday given to the Tsar. Those who greeted him must have realised, as the whole British nation realises, that there had ar rived to our Empire a momentous opportunity ui uuuig a great worx autre on toenail of its honour and the interests of mankind. Europe at present is at a critical stage one of the most critical it has passeu through during the last generation.

The honest and humane feeling of one great nation has found itself in opposition to the callous diplomacy of the rest, and England hesitates to remedy a terrible evil in mournful anxiety lest more terrible evils should follow. Were but a single factor in the situation changed, England could do the work of justice with a fearless hand. The chance cf changing that factor has by a wonderful turn of fortune fallen into our power. Our 6ole obstacle in the task of checking the infamy of the Sultan's rule has been the silent antagonism of Russia. The antagonism has indeed been mutual but if England can prove that it is no longer mutual, that she on her part can honourably extend her friendship to Russia, the barrier of hostility will be once and for all broken down.

The Scotsmen who cheered the Tsar yes-teiday were doing a great Imperial duty if they conveyed to the mind of our illustrious guest that their enthusiasm was the voice of a hoped-for amity. THE TOBACCO TAX. There are some figures in a London contemporary which throw a vivid light on a very old grievance the inequality of the tobacco tax. The facts are these. The duty on cigars is 5s.

a pound that on unmanufactured tobacco about 3s. 4d. a pound. -Now 100 sixpenny cigars weigh about and the amount of the duty per cigar works out at about fd. each less than one-sixth of the price.

Now let us take the case of tobacco at 4d. an ounce. The value of the tobacco is ld. the duty amounts to or five-eighths of the whole. Or let us suppose for a moment that there were no duty at all on tobacco.

In this case, the man who buys a sixpenny cigar would pay 5d. for it, while the purchaser of an ounce of tobacco which now coats 4d. would only pay ld. Twenty shillings' worth of sixpenny cigars brings the State 2s. 6djs twenty shillings' worth of tobacco at 4d.

an ounce brings the State 12s. 6d. That is to say, the duty an a luxury of the wealthier classes is ridiculously less than that on a semi-necessity of all classes. We do not say that the dgat taxed too little but it certainly seems as if the pipe were taxed too much. An increase in the would gpeijfcsjfe xnske original list will not be the new President.

On this point one can afford to be positive. The meaning of Mr. Joseph Arch's announce mcnt that he does not intend to resign his seat in Parliament because an annuity is being got up for him is somewhat obscure at first. For tunately, can throw light upon it. The local Conservatives in Norfolk would like to tret him out of the way, and as soon as thev heard that the annuity proposal was being made, they laid oure upon some or ms votes on the rtatmg mU, upon has advancing years, and began a clamour for his resignation." Mr.

Arch has given his answer to this foolish move. He intends to re main what he is a steady-going, careful-voting, ana very useful member of Parliament. He speaks less than formerly, but his views have undergone no change, and his supporters in iSortolk are just as proud of him as ever. Ibe ihames season is over. Fine weather would probably have prolonged it a little.

It has been one of unusual brilliancy with the ex ception or the last tew weeks. The river-side houses and hostelries have had a good time. The takings at the locks have never been better, and it is suggested that a portion of the money mignt very well be spent in putting rollers up wnere tney do not exist. The resrattas on ihe Thames have been more numerous and better patronised than ever. The camping out has been very extensive, and the house-boats have let fairly well.

In manv cases the evele nas come in to enable the city necessities to be daily attended to, and early morning spins have ccon numerous. bull, one hears some grumbling here and there about unlet villas and house-boats. There are sure to be some spontaneous as well arranged demonstrations to-morrow in honour of the Queen. At most of the theatres God Save the Queen" will be plaved at some point in the evenings entertain ment, and the audience will at once understand its meaning. At some of the political demonstrations calls for the National Anthem are certain.

Flags will be flying at all convenient laces. At Queen's Hall promenade concept the programme includes the National Anthem, bv the choir and the audience, and a special piece, The Coronation March," written for the occasion, will be played. In most of the leading papers in the United Kingdom there will be special articles on the Queen's long reign. Personally Sir Henry Irving has been working very hard to get "Cymbeline" ready and perfect in all its parts. He has been able to achieve wonders, considering the time at his disposal and the high ideal of scenic and dramatic perfection ho sets up for all he attempts.

All yes- 1 i 1- vcjuojr was worit sparing nimseir in nothing, and if he seemed somewuat fagged this morning it was not surprising. I am told that he is highly pleased at the public interest taken in his production, at the rush in bookings, and pieaani letters ne has received complimenting him on his enterprise. An enormous success has been achieved, and the verdict tonight will be endorsed by thousands who have yet to visit the Lyceum in tUeir pdgrimag. i mm THE RISING IN RHODESIA- THE EXECUTION OF REBEL CHIEFS. ARREST OF COLONEL HADEN-POWKLL.

BULUWAYO, Monday. The High Commissioner has ordered General Carrington to place Colonel Baden-Powell under open arrest, pending an inquiry, for having conformed to the carrying out of the death sentence on the chief Nwini. Lord Rosmead reminds all military officers in Rhodesia that martial law has not been proclaimed, and that prisoners of war are to be handed over to the civil authorities. An indaba was held yesterday between General Carrington, Sir Charles Metcalfe, and Mr. Rhodes mi the one part, and the chiefs Baby an, DhJiso, Unyan, and Kumalo on the other.

The chiefs agreed to settle in the open forthwith, and sent runners to collect their women and children. Mr. Rhodes promised to assist them with seed corn. The indaba was most satisfactory. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
