The Italian forces are quietly taking
possession Of the Papal territory They
now surround the City Of Rome and Gen,
Cordona sent a ,fag- of-truoe to the City,
which was received with great demonstra-
tons Of favor by the people. Gen. Kanse-
Ter, Commander in chief Of the Papal forces,
refused to surrender the city. Baron Won
Arnim, in behalf of the Pope, called on
Gen. Cordona to explain that foreign militia
~ forces for the moment ruled the city and
that his Holiness was unable to prevent re-
sistance to the entrance of Italian troops
and asked delay of twonty-four hours
Gen. Cordona agreed to suspend the attack
on the city for twenty-four hours, but re-
served the right to manoeuvre his troops.
Herr Arnim wrote Gen. Cadorns, on the
Doth, that he had failed to prevent resistance
to Italian occupation. The foreign legions
defy the Pope's wishes. Gen. Cadorna was
preparing to attack the city. It is thought
there will be but feeble resistance,

A French rival to Ward and Burgevint
has been developed in China by the wal
against the Mohammedan rebels, and he
bids fair TO share with them the admira
tion and perhaps the worship of the
Chinese az Saviour Of the Empire. He
has stayed and turned the tide Of Mos
lem invasion to the Flowery Kingdom in
a remarkably romantic manner. Ru.
mors of the frequent losies of the I'm
perislists were exciting considerable at
tention at the ports open to foreign
trade, when il occurred to an intelligent
adventurer named Mourens that he had
here an opportunity of reaping certain
fame and possible fortune by offering his
services 10 the dismsyed and disheart-
ened officials. More modest than Ward
or Burgevine, he made no attempt to get
command, but simply proposed to work a
small 6eld-piece, which he supposed would
be most effective against troops to whom
field artillery was unknown. Joined
by Greek OF equally adventurous dis
position, he procured q feld-piece and
small arms, with supply of grape and
langridge, and joined the Chinese armies.
Advices from the neighborhood of the
last battles fought between the Moham-
medans and Imperialists, attribute the
success Of the latter entirely to the Kai-
hwa-pas, or blowing flowers cannon"
of NJ. Mourens. The Imperialist army,
divided into two sections, under Chenfoo-
tae and Tang-ta-men, have captured
Chaocheng and fortified position near
Tall, the Mohammedan capital, with un-
expected ease; while other important
fopts have also been taken-all owing to
NJ. Mourens' artillery. The prospects of
the Mohammedans, In short, seem al
most as hopeless as were those of their
opponents short time ago.

Prussfan Liberty.

DR.. Johann Jacoby, just sentenced by
the Prussian Government TO a term oi
imprisonment for drafting resolution:
against the forcible annexation ot
French territory, knows more of the
inside Of prisons than even Silvio Pei
leo. He is an old-time, consistent
leader of the German Democratic party,
and has always been in the van Of politi'
cal movements In 1910 he wrote a me.
moir on the policy of the government,
for which he was sentenced to three
years imprisonment After lSis he was
a member of the first German Parlia-
ment, aud then of the Prussian Chamber.
He was steady opinionist, and though
speaking but rarely, made himself
dreaded BY his tact and management IN
the House. When the Parliament was
forcibIy dissolved he retired 10 Switzer-
land; but hearing that there was process
against him for treason, he voluntarily
returned and fought the lawsuit success
fully. He was again elected but refused
to serve and returned TO his practice.
He was subsequently a member Of the
new Chamber, aud was sent TO prison for
using seditious language; and again for
another fourteen months for his memoirs
of Henri Simon. His persecution by the
Government OF Prussia has been unre-
mitting.
