    China. General Ma has been recalled to Peking to report to the Dowager-Empress the reasons of his failure to suppress the K‘.vang-si rebellion. The Chinese Government, while pretend ing to be desirous of securing enlightened officials for the public service, recently sold one hundred important offices to the highest bidders. France. Louis Phillip, Duke of Orleans, one of the claimants to the French throne, has issued a manifesto, in which he deciares that France will soon realize that there can be no freedom from persecution outside the Monarchy. The French monks have decided 1) offer a passive resistance to the suppression of their orders under the Religious Associations’ Laws. f Labour Legislation. ' Mr. Crooks, the newly-elected Labour member for M oolwich, has given notice in the House of Commons of the following motion :—“ That in order to give Labour representatives a chance to enter Parliament, it is desirable, in the opinion of this House, that election charges bo defrayed out of the pubic funds, and that all members of House of Commons be paid a reasonable stipend.” British Consols. Lord Hardwicke, a member of the London Stock Exchange, declares that the fall in the price of Consols is partly due to city financiers having £'178,003,009 invested in South African gold stocks, Avhicb, owing to the insufficiency of labour, are not easily realised. The first sign of improvement, however, in the labour supply will, he thinks, cause a large rise in Consols. The American Navy. Admiral Dewey and the General Naval Board consider that the defence of the United States possessions and commerce requires 48 Ist class battleships, with two armoured cruisers, four cruising scouts, and four large destroyers, with auxiliaries, for every four battleships. They advise that the fleet be accordingly increased yearly by four battleships and other vessels in proportion. Manchuria. The StandanCs correspondent at Tieu-Ts n declares that the robbery of Government funds at Port Arthur, Talienwan, and throughout Manchuria generally, is absolutely appalling. He states that large salaries are drawn in the names of a long list of fictitious officials, and that officers have been in the habit of pocketing the price of imaginary coal consignments. According to the same authority, where the Chinese officials rob one dollar the Russian officials help themselves to thousands. Trinidad. In the House of Commons on 25th ultimo, Mr. Chamberlain was interrogated regarding the situation in Trinidad. He stated that according to a statement by the Governor of the Colony, Sir C. A. Melony, the Waterworks Ordinance had been much misrepresented by some agitating representative of the Government, who bad ♦timed the popular excitement. The Council Chamber was phoned, and several members of the Count» were wounded. The Riot Act was read l»ee. Mr. Chamberlain added that the Government had appointed a Commission of Inquiry. Eaery Stock Exchange man thinks be can walk. A wag, determined on disillusionment of his fellows, conceived the spectacle of stout and prosperous middle-aged members perspiring and panting along the Brighton road as something in the way of a treat for the villagers. He mentioned the idea to his friends, and now the athletic and nonathletic members can talk of nothing else. May 1 is a Stock Exchange holiday by custom. May 1 will see 107 aspirants to pedestrian fame plodding the weary way of the Brighton road. The lists wore closed cm the 23rd. At six o’clock in the morning they will leave the City. At various tunes during the morning, afternoon, and evening, most of them will seek rest or the railway train. The athletic and persevering will be urged to their destination by visions of elegant prizes and “time medals,” Avith “time” not too curtailed. A dinner has been arranged at Brighton for the survivors on the evening of the race.  -  944 words
