fusion between the Bonapartists and Or
leanists, as against the radical wing OF
the republican party, whose excuses
threaten the perpetuity of the republic.

that the vacancy could not be antlci-

LONDON Daily News: "Herr Krupp
has just issued a programme of some
interesting experiments with his breech-
loading guns which are to take place at
his ground at Essen some time in July.
The trials will last over four DAYS. and
the principle feature will be the firing
of the huge seventy-ton steel cannon,
which has calibre of fifteen and three
quarters inches, and is put forward to
rival the eighty-ton Woolwich gun. AS
rule the range will vary from 1900 to
5000 yards, but in one case gun of
four and half inches will be tested at
1O,94O yards, or at a range of rather
more than six miles. Altogether Herr
Krupp's programme is very exhaust
i've one, and from first to last no fewer
than two hundred and forty rounds are
to be fired from the cannon of various
calibres."

CON the arrival of the reinforce
ments," says the Daily Ne,os, "the Brit
ish army in Zululand will be consider
ably larger than that which was present
at Waterloo. or at the Alma. At the
memorable battle which ended in the
overthrow of Napoleon, the English
troops numbered just under twenty
four thousand. At the first great fight
in the Crimea the British forces con-
sisted of twenty-six thousand men.
When the troops sent out during the
last few days have crossed the Tugela
the strength of the English army within
the Zulu territory will be over thirty
thousand.
