Zfaihsgigfhei- oihie lists win be permitted to be disclosed. What iS known and is of importance is that the two powers have come to an ag- reement which will prevent, for the Present at ieast, any conflict between them in China. By this Russia will gain time for the completion of _the Siberian Railway, and the consolida. in of her power in the east-a very mbtful gain for Britain. We notice that some English papers .ngu-ne the agreement as an aband- onment of the open door policy. It appears that the Czar was most _an- xious to eliect an agreement in view of the Peace Conference shortly to assemble at The Hague. It ,B-lS0 8'P' pears that Britain and Russia have jointly agreed “to uphold the integrity and independence of the Chinese Empire,” and this is one of the things that annoy Germany and _FraIJCB-

Where so little is definitely known

it is quite impossible to accurately forecast the results. Lord Charles Beresford predicts that the _agree- ment, so far from giving security for peace will inevitably provoke _war. France and Germany, the aggrieved powers, would however iind it dini- cult to form a military alliance, and even if that obstacle were overcome would hardly venture ’ to attack a combination so formidable by sea and _land as Britain and Russia.

Lord Salisbury expressed the hope

that the agreement ofthe two govern- ments may result in more cordial feelings between the people ofthe two t countries, and this is apparently being

brought about. At the same time a wedge has been entered for the seve- rance of the Franco-Russian alliance. tSinco the display _of British naval power and the Fashoda incident Rus- sia has shrewdly coucluied that Brit- 'ain’s friendship is worth more to her than that of F"anCo.

Last year 2.°200,000 ftous of ship-

ping were launched from all the ship- yards in the world, and of the vast tonnage 1.600.000 tons was counstruct- ed in the British Islands.:And yet there are some _weak-kneed and feeble- minded patriots who are afraid of the -decadence of Britain! '

According to Sir Wilfred Li.uriei~’s

ffannouncement the government will -'introduce a resolution looking to a =reform of the Senate and will take up ‘the iredistribution bill also after the budget debate is finished. There are probably some lively times in store efore the session closes.

Cecil Rhodes, addressing a meeting i London the other day, from which housands were turned away unable to obtain admission, paid 'a warm compliment to the German Emperor. As will be remembered Rhodes went personally to the Kaiser to ask per- mission to run his Cape to Cairo telegraph line through the German possessions in Cen tral Africa,where the British possessions are not continuous. The Emperor met his proposition with an admirable breadth of mind and offered him every means of carrying out his plans. The conduct of the European countries ordinarily, Mr. Rhodes said, was to levy blackmail wherever it was possible. The Ger- man Emperor, however, charged no- thing for the concessions except the cost ofthe maintenance of the line. The British government failed to as- sist in the undertaking, but the ne- cessary capital will be obtained other-

wise. One millionaire, Alfred Be_at,]

has offered to take $2,`500.000 {of Glue-=s_tr»ck and thc aaelegraph ,glinofwill be pushed through. ” Then "we shall be able to hear of the happenings in “Darkest Africa” within a .few .hours
