The Australian Conference on Chinese
immigration has arrived at the compromise
which we pointed out a few weeks since as
the one combining Justice with expediency.
AS the Government of Pekin is willing to
forbid the emigration Of its subjects to
America, the delegates ask the Foreign
Office to make q treaty f|orbidding also
Chinese emigration to Australia. If this
is conceded, the Colonists will repeal all
Internal law directed against Cinnamon
as such, except the mtercoIonial passport
law, which is valuable for ordinary ret
sons of police. That is the right solution.
AS Europeans are forbidden by nature an |
circumstances to settle in China, it is not
unfair to forbid Chinese from settling in
European %dOminions, but it is most unfair
to prosecute them when they have settled.
We hope the Ambassador at Pekin will
have no difficulties in his way; but he
will have to act at an unlucky mOmenr,
when he is asking China to use it's reserved
authority in. Tibet. The Chinese hate
doing anything of the kind, and are not at
all unlikely to suggest that if the Austria
Liam request is conced ed, the Indian one
shall be withdrawn. Fortunately, in India
we can give orders but managing the
foreign affairs of two or three continents
at once is, when their interests happen to
collide, by no means easy work. 1t is not
driving three horses, b 1t an elephant, Il
camel, and a horse in one break.

Snake Stories.

1t is hardly credible how long a time a
man may live in India without seeing
snakes in his house, unless he looks about
diligently for them. OF course there is
more chance of seeing them out of doors,
and especially out Snipe-shooting, as the
snake is an amphibiOuS sort Of creature,
with q special appetite for a juicy young
frog, whose home, not always a happy one,
is in the Tice.fields. What with the long
legged BIRDS of the crane species that
stalk through the water, and the snakes
who glide about the mud, or lie on the liz.

fields for irrigation purposes, the frogs
have a bad time oft. One afternoon | was
walking along one of the earthen ridges
between The rice.telds, looking for snipe
on either side OF me, when a few yards in
front of me there reared up three cObraS,
facing me with hoods erect, and evidently
'meaning venom" | fired a charge of snipe
shot into them, and there was a great con
fusion OF heads and tails and bits of bodies,
so that it would have been hard to put
a whole snake together again. This gave
me a useful lesson to keep a good lookout.
One day | was out shooting with a friend
who trOd on a snake, which promptly curl
ed round his leg anu tried to bite through

snake-proof, but he did not think of that,
and his efforts to shoot the snake without
hitting his own leg were so ludicrous that
it was hardly possible not to laugh, until
we could hit the snake on the head with
a lOading-rod aid make it quit my friends
leg.
Once we were spending a holiday at a
little bungalow at the seaside, to which
we used to go occasionally for change of

it. We were walking along the sandy
beach, when we saw ii large cobra, about
five feet long with a bird in its mouth,
making off through some light bushes,
where it had probably seized the bird,
though it had not had time to swallow it.
We very soon disabled the snake by a
blow on the back, but as it was by no
means dead we secured it with a small
rope, and dragged it into the portico of
the bungalow for the sake of trying ex-

The Emperor Frederick was buried on
Monday in solemn state, but without the
pOmp which attended his fathers funeral.
He wished this himself, and it was, more
over more consistent with the circumstan-
ces of his brief reign. His son has been

The Emperor declares that in the Army a

Chief (hriegS. Herr passes from father to
son, and calls attention to the figure Of
his grandfather as that of a glorious and
venerable War Chief. His father also had
won for himself a place of honour in the
annals of the Army. ''Thus We belong to

This order was supposed to indicate, at
least, military enthusiasm but the pro-

a confidence that God will give him wis

a Prince very conscious of a lofty position,
but not those of d man carried away by

visible in both proclamations, and a certain
calm has for the moment settled down on
Europe. The wal is postponed, say

A NEW OLIVER TWIST.
The Strange story Told by = Fourtesn-
Year-Oid Chicago hoy.

According to ST. Joseph (Mo,) special
q vertablc Oliver Twist was discovered
in that city the other day in Alexander
Mckay. q small-sized fourteen v ear old
boy, hailing from Chicago. The Fagan in
the case, as described by Mckay, Is q
large, black. bearded man, the chief Of
band OF robbers whose headquarters arc
in some den in the southern part OF tho
city. The boys story is that in Lincoln
Park, Chicago, he was invited TO drink
from o bottle by the man before men
toned He did so and became uncon.
scious. When he rcgained his senses he
found himself in q box-car with the man
on o moving train. They stopped ut
Davenport Ia, and in the night boarded
freight-train, arriving at St Joseph two
days later
Tho boy was taken TO a saloon near the
railroad yards, the headquarters Of the
gang, and kept close prisoner. II was cx-
planned TO him that he was expected to as
sist in housebreaking, pocket picking, etc.
and he was threatened with death II he re-
fused He was sworn to secrecy, and then
given instructions. The next night he
was taken out by n man they called
"Safty" to try his hand at picking
pockets. When they reached the Union
depot the boy yelled to the first policeman
he saw: "Helpl hclp" His companion
struck him terrible blow on the head and
fed, and so far all have escaped arrest
The boy was taken in charge by the chief
Of police and his father in Chicago COM
municated with by telegraph, who verfies
the story OF his mysterious disappearance.
