KING John or ABYSSIYIA.

Captain T. A. dc C0sson has "A paper in The Nine
teeath Century on King John OF AbyssinIa in which
he takes much more hopeful view of that prince
aud his capabilities than other travellers have been
able TO accept. According to him King John is a
man of considerable ability. commanding the re-
spect and obedience of his subjects and possessing
sufficient military power to handle any rcvolts IN
his own dOmnOns to reDel frontier aggression,
Captain de Cosson thinks that he may be made
useful also in the present situation. observing that,
"a Should retreat by Borber prove impracticable,
the garrisons of Khartoum, SEMINAR and Kassala
might still be extricated by the cooperation of an
Abyssinian force moving to their relief down the
Blue Nile and covering their march to Massowah."
H. thinks that Gaabat should be restored to King
John on condition that the slave market there
sbould cease and the expectation of all slaves from
the K,nq's dominions be prohibited under heavy
nenaItics Heretofore one of the worst branches of
the slaye-trade has been the traffic in young and
beautiful Abyssinian girls, many of them Chris
tians. who are collected by MahOmetan merchants
in the Wooma and Gala districts and sold at
Galabat for Transmission across the desert to the
shores of the Red Sea. large percentage of these
Door creatures perish on the way. Captain de
Cosson says King John told him that he was willing
to abolish the slavo-trade If England asked him TO
do 30, but that no European Power had up to that
time made such request
1t Is to be observed that Captain do Cosson's ac-
count of the situation in Abyssinia differs widely
from that given by General Gordon in his letters al
the time Of his visit to the King, when he taken
prisoner To him il appeared that the King really
possessed very little power that in fact he wa;
only obeyed where he happened TO be; that thu
chiefs nomnally his vassals practically indie

ENnLlSH 1SS1NLTS ON AMERICA.

On Saturday The London Times improved the
chance offered by the arrest OF two dynamite
ssnspectsr to arTagn America IN ITS uslai
fashion. Yesterday it returned to the attack with
undiminished fcrvor charging that an open cru
sadie ia nreached in the United States against
England. and that the things threatened
here have been done there. The French an
th6ities. il is confident, are alive to their duty
and will prevent dynamite outrages, Ont II mas
no such assurance from America. The iacts'
it remarks, are well known TO the American
"police They can act now if they choose Dut
" in the present temper OF the American people
ave should not have much to hope from then'
Perhaps the London police have important
disclosures in reserve. The facts thus TAR made
l,no,vn contain no warrant for these ap-
noals and acrimonious reflections There
,roro tbren mon arrested last week. One is q
former Fcnian organizer and agent of the Land
Ieaa11e. who has never been in this country and
is not now charged with completely in any dyna-
mite outrage Another is an Engllsh-lrlsl-
man, who has been constantly watched by
birmingham detectives during the last SIX
months. He has never beel on this side OF the
Atlantic. The third suspect did reside for a
shol time in the United States, but returned to
England last October How the American de-
tectives can be held responsible for the machina-
ton and offences of these three men, We are at
a loss to understand. There may be a prospect
of additional arrests evidence deeply lncllln-
mating this country may be held in reserve. II
this be the case. the present assault upon
American officials is ill-timed and Ineffective.
But apparently The London Times is firing its
pistols wildly in the air. Indeed, it confesses
that il does not know whether the headquarters
of the conspiracy are in America or in France
