The Famine in Asia Minor and
Syria has assumed terrible proportions.
At Erzeroum grain cannot be obtained
under ten times it's ordinary price,
and in some places it is still scarcer.
At Mossul, famous as being near the
site of Ancient Nineveh) the condition
is described as follows:
"The suffering and despair engen-
dered by the famine are such that the
people have abandoned their usual
apathetic resignation, and we are now
living in an indescribable chaos
Robberies and depredations are COM
mitted in broad daylight in the pub
lie streets. Emaciated, CHASTITY forms,
resembling skeletons rather than liv-
ing men and women, wander about
begging for a morsel Of bread. In
the town from five to ten of these
unfortunates die daily. In the neigh
bouring villages the peasants some
times stay the pangs of hunger for
the moment by swallowing a kind of
earth. The mortality is from so to
100 per day. We have seen peasants
offer to sell their children, but no one
wished to buy them. At El-Kosh the
Kurds have sold hundreds of young
girls at about $40 a head in order to
buy food"

RUSSIA AND CHINA.
(ConclWded.)

The relations between the two Govern
ments continued to be of an unsatisfactory
character, while the conquests of the EN-
peror Keen Lung in Eastern Turkestan
made it more than ever necessary that
there should be a friendly understanding
between them. The tone which the
Chinese adopted towards the Russians was,
as an official document expressed it, that
of an '"eIder brother = but the question
was gradually finding q simple solution.
The trade with Pekin, which to be sue
cessfuI required the approval of the Chinese
Government, was steadily declining, but in
lis place, securing all the practical objects of
the larger undertaking, a very considerable
land traffic was springing up at Kiachta
and Maimachin, aud has gone on increasing
year by year. In 1909, a Russian envoy,
Count Goloiken, was turned back at the
Great Wall and refused permission to pro.
coed to Pekin because he declined to per-
form the prostration ceremony" The
Go-lo.sse, as the Chinese call the Russians,
then attempted to established trade rela-
lions with China by sea, but in this
they met with little success and no encour-
agement to persevere. The Government
categorically refused to allow Russia to
trade with their subjects otherwise than
through Kiachta. Eleven years afterwards
another mission, of which NJ. Timkowski
had the charge, was sent to Pekin to bring
back the mission despatched in 1908, and

figured as the sympathiEer and well-wisher
of the Chinese ; but be did not scruple to
avail himself OF the prostration that beset
the Pekin Court after the triumph OF the
allies by demanding the surrender to Rus
STA of the maritime province OF Manchnrla.
the value of which had been discovered at
the time of the Crimean war. The
Chinese were unable to refuse compliance
with this demand, and the Russian frontier
was accordingly advanced to the close vici-
nity of Corea and the important city OF
Moukden. OF all the Powers, Russia, the
reputed friend Of the Chinese. probably
gained the most by the wal of 1860; but
it only required a return of confidence to
reveal to the Chinese Ministers the one
sidedness of Russia's sympathy. Notwith~
standing this there was still ostensibly the
closest friendship between the two States;
and when, in 1871, Russia stepped in and
put down the independent ruler Abul
Oghlan in the lost Chinese province of
Kuldia. this was supposed to have dictated
the pledge given at Pekio that the occupa-
ton of Kuldja was only temporary, and
that as soon as a Chinese army of sufficient
strength to maintain order was sent it
should be restored. 1t was not until two
years ago, when the Chinese army had
recovered all the other lost provinces,
that they discovered that the Russians
would not prove as good as their word.
On that point it is unneces sary to say
anything here but from this retrospect it
may be apparent that the question be
tween Russia and China is a much larger
one than the mere Kuldja difficulty. That
is only one, if the most pressing, phase of
the problem how the relations of two
great warlike countries are to be conduct
ed when they have q common frontier for
thousands OF miles, and when that frontier
is not only in many places vague, but q
permanent testimony to the trlumphs of
one State over the other. The Chinese
not unnaturally resent the actual condition
of their borders for that reason 90 we'll as
fo- others. They see in the large garrison
In Russian Manchu ria q menace to their
capital ard their northern metropolis
Moukden-as we'll as a hidden danger
with regard to Corea; nor are they better
satisfied with the present state of things
further west in Mongolia and Kobdo.
The Kuldja difficulty has revived all
these kindred matters but 1t does not
appear that its solution in favour of China
would alone suffice to finally dispose Of
the complication that has arisen between
the Governments. The suspicious of
China are fully aroused, and she seems to
be quite determined not to rest until she
is satisfied that she has little or nothing to
fear on her northern and western frontiers.

against the authority OF the Porte,
rather than relinquish a piece Of their
territory to Montenegro, are equally
determined to resist the cession of fanny
portion of it to Greece. A copy has
been published of a circular said to
have been sen. to the members of the
Albanian League by the new Turkish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which
they are urged to resist all cessions
either to Montenegro Oh to Greece.
This is important, if true, because it
would shew that the Turks had made
up their minds to resist the decision of
the Berlin conference.
The Jesuits of France were turned
out of their establishments on the 3Oth
June. Some excitement was shewn
in various towns; but no disturbances
took place. The following account Of
what took place in the principal Paris
establishment shews the method of
procedure. 1t is translated in the
Times from the official report.

having had to remove the lock, we

Our mission becoming very delicate
through the Instructions and resis-
tances offered us, and also through the
collecting of about a thousand per-
sons, who stood at the gate and
loudly evinced by cries their ideas in
favour of the Jesuits, we had to con
suit the Protect of Police and send
for the policemen in reserve to rein
force those at the gate. Cries of

were uttered by the public. NJ.
Baudry d'Asson, Deputy for VendGe,
offered at this moment an active re-
sistance to the police who guarded the
outer gate of the establishment, which
he tried to pass through, excIaiming
that he was a Deputy and inviolable.
Meanwhile, the Fathers expelled from
their cells were leaving the establish
ment in cabs, and under the supervi-
sion Of policemen deputed to protect
them in the public highway. Each
of the Fathers, when we presented
ourselves at their cells, replied to our
summons hat he would only yield to

employed in each case. When the
policemen took them by the arms, the
Fathers declared themselves satisfied,

There is nothing in the world so sad
as human nature, and the tears come
into my eyes now as | think of the
pltiiul story Tom told me as he
smoked his a%fter-supper pipe last
night. The other day Just before |
came home, Tom had occasion to 20
over the lake. On his way back and
when the train stopped at the Bay, he
noticed a man getting into the car in
front with a little baby in his arms.
The baby seemed young, and the man
hushed it in his arms with a gentle,
rocking motion, bending over it now
and then to kiss its little white face.
AFTER the train got under way, the
conductor came 10 Tom and said.
Come with me; ] want to show Won
the saddest sight you ever saw in all
your life" and he led the wayinto the
next car. DO yousee thatman there?'
said he, and there sat the man whom
Tom had seen with the babe.
His precious little bundle lay quiet
on the seat in front of him, and as
these other two men watched, he
leaned over, looked long and earnestly
10 the little flower face, aud then
kissed the frail finger tips he held Sc
gently IN his own. THAT baby's
dead, said the conductor. 1T died
this morning at the bay. He couldn't
bear to put it in a coffin, because then
Il would have to go without him in

rylng it home to New Orleans in his
arms" And the car ratified on; the
