Gladstone's Soudan Policy Denounced.
LONDON, May 1S.-In the House of Lords
this evening Baron Wemyss denounced the
Government for their policy in the Soudan.
He said that every man slain in the Soudan
was as much slain by the Government,
through their vaclitating inconsistency aud
uncertainty, as If done to death by their own
hands. The only memorials England would
have in the Soldan wauld be abandoned
railway and bleaching skeletons.
Earl Granville replied tina. the policy of
withdrawal WAS justified. He could agree
with Baron Wemyss ON only one point,
namely, the splendid conduct OF the British
troopa.

The Evolution of the Rink.

Kinks wherein roller skates may be
used rs a means of rapid bat otherwise
aimlesS locomotion are multiplying
almost as fast as the fifteen puzzle
craze spread few years ago Nearly
every village in the land seems am
bilious of having such q place of pub
lie resort, in order that its inhabitants
of both sexes and all ages may have
the pleasure of running around on
wheels. Places want Kinks that had
no Kinks before and those that had
Kinks want Kinks all the more. It
appears that somebody or other who
had a patent on roller skates failed to
renew it when the time expired, and
the cheapening of roller skates as
result of this omission has brought
about the gradual evolution of the
rink as popular place of amuse-
ment.
The spread of the rink epidemic has
not failed to draw the fire of all sorts
of criticism. The pulpit has denounced
the rink IN thuneer tones. Then,
again, the pulpit has welcomed the
rink as depopulator of liquor saloons.
It has been claimed by many that the
interests of morality demanded of all
good people total abstinence from
ripks. In some places people who go
to the Kinks are looked upon as on the
high road to the regions lower down.
A rink to which anyone is admitted
who lays the slight fee charged will
De visited by improper characters, il
there are any IN town and no matter
how small the town t. ere generally
are some such characters. There
fore, say the anti-rink crusaders,
don't 60.
Such sweeping condensation, how
ever, is unjust, exactly as it is unjust
to condemn all thcateres, all lectures
or all books Unfortunately. All
these institutions are what we make
them, Tor better or for worse. 1t is
part OF the development of our civil
cation that its plastic features multiply
and that we are more and more
obliged to depend on ourselves for the
character which is given to them and
the influence which they exert.
Hesltatlng parents, who do not wish
to deny their child en- the exhilarating
pleasures of the roller skates and who
do not wish them to be corrupted by
evil communications, are beginning
to take pains to encourage well CON
Quoted Kinks, as distinguished from
those where all sorts of characters are
allowed to disport themselves. Shrewd
rink proprietors recognize the demand
and more or less select Kinks are es-
tabllshed. This appears to be the
secret of the marvellous multiplication
Of these resorts.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Informa-
ton has been received here, to-day,
to the effect that movement is on
foot to overthrow the government of
Honduras and to form a. alliance of
the people of that country with Mica
ragua, Costa RIGA and San Salvador,
against Gen. Barrios. The move

a former president Of Honduras,
now in New York city. Siace Bar
rios announcement of his intention
to make himselt supreme military
chief" Of the Central American states,
SO he is said to have been equally
determined in the work of
trying to break the alliance

His negotiations have been carried on
through a general OF the farming
country with whom he has been on
very intimate terms. The people of

The German and French Armies.

The military strength of the French
army, according to the Kolnlsche
Zeitung, reckohs % army corps, $780,
600 infantry, 42,500 cavalry, rs, 900
artillery, with 1922 guns, $500 en-
gineers, and {, 800 pontoon men while
on the other hand, the German army
has only 675, 900 men in actual SER
vice, with 2,040 pieces of artillery.
The German cavalry is. however,
more numerous than the French, and
what is more important, the Germans
have far stronger reserve, number
ing 246, 900 men, with A guns, and
90 souadrons of cavalry, as against the
sc, 900 men of the French reserve.
But in several other respects also the
Prussian critic finds MS rivals at a
disadvantage. The Germans have a
much more rapid system of mo5iliza-
ton; the railway system is far more
complete; their horses are better, and
above all, the minister Of War is not
perpetually being changed, as in
France. Here are two powerful
armies arranged GA the side of two
nsightoring nations, which are
menace To the peace and tranquility
of Europe. if not the world, at any

both these great nations would have

engines of destruction, they stand
