greatest energy will be necessary to
fill the arsenals. Money will provide
everything except time; and if we
are in danger at all, the time at our
disposal will not be long. 1t may
be as we'll for all the authorities TO
remember that they cannot plead that
anything has been refused by Parlia-
ment; that if a panic does occur, it
will be Of a most dangerous charac-
ter; and hat the first rage Of the
people will be directed against them.
The feeling in Australia and New
Zealand against Chinese immigrants
is increasing rapidly, and some recent
cargoes have been refused permission
TO land at Melbourne and Sydney.
The resident Chinese also have been
attacked in Brisbane, their shops
being wrecked, and the rioters insist
ing hat they shall return to their W
country. The Colonial Governments
all appear willing to impose a land
ing,tax of G1OO a head but the
general feeling is in favour of a total
prohibition, to be arranged by treaty.
Such a treaty, it is believed, would
he agreed 10 at Pekin, where the
feeling of statesmen is entirely against
emigration to foreign lards. We
have discussed the subject elsewhere,
but may note here that the Immediate
cause of the Outbur~t in Australia
is an increase in the number OF
immigrants caused by the prohibition
to enter the United States. The
spectators who ship Chinese labour-
ers under contract to be repaid from
their first years labour, have been
driven by this law to select u new
place of debarkation, and have pitched
upon Australia.

high. Just beyond this wall was
the great breach which destroyed the
tank at some unknown period. 1t
was 1,00Oft. broad, and it is not
known whether it was caused by a
heavy food or by an invader. This
is the breach which has just been
repaired. A huge masonry wall has
been thrown across, the canal has
been renewed, and regulating sluices
and other works have been provided.
The whole has taken four years. 1t
is described by Mr.. Burrows in his
"Buried Cities of Ceylon" as the
grandest experiment in irrigation
ever undertaken in modern Ceylon,
for its completion means the resusci-
tation of the most important part of
the second largest province in the
island. When the work of restOra-
ton began the bed OF the tank was
quite hard and dry it is now cover
with seven square miles of water

villages over an area as great rs an
English county, and filling tanks

more than so miles away, which in
their turn become centres of distri-
button. With all this, the Govern
ment of Ceylon in the 18Th century
is only restoring the work of the
Government of the fifth century
Times.
BUENOS AIRES.
It seems that the long needed har-
bour improvements at Buenos Aires.
in the way of which hitherto there
have been countless difficulties, fnan-
cial as we'll as political, are now soon
likely to be undertaken and emerge
t~icaliy pushed to completion. The
Amnales DIES Points ct ChausSees for
January gave a description of the
plan of Engineer Manero, which the
Argentine Congress has approved,
voting $1O,OOO,OO0 for the purpose
of carrying it out. The work, which
is already commenced, according to
the Annales, will consist first of a
canal 100 meters 1928 feet wide and
Gan (21 leet) deep below low-watef
level, ~prolonging the Balisas River
for the entrance of large ships; a
basin of the same depth will be con
slructed for vessels remaining but n
short time, and four other docks or
basins also of the same depth, whose
quays will have a total length OF s
kilometres (26.2 feet) !; finally, a ma
rhine basin of equal depth and
1,43Om. 1852 teeD long will be
made. All the masonry will be
of beton blocks. Separate store
houses will be built for imported anf
exported goods, which will occupy
a total area of LOGON. $3.50 feer(

snow has fallen, and there will in all
probability be no war this year. If
he is not, the Russian Government
will make another effort to settle the
whole Balkan Question by a forward
march upon Oonstantinople, for
which the road is now nearly open,
Roumelia, Servia, and Bulgaria being
all alike honey-combed with agitation.
That is, we believe, the true situa-
ton, though it may, of course, be
modified at any moment by events in
France, or by a premature explosion
in Macedonia. 1t is Il strange fate
for a man to be at one so powerful
and so i'll but we believe that the
Bourse spectators are for n C fairly
right, and that in responding to
every rumour as to the Emperor's
condition, they are Obeying a sound
instinct.
General Boulanger, in order to
keep his name before the public, is
publishing a History Of the War of
1870, founded upon documents to
which he had access during his term
of office. The book will be published
in parts, and the first part, which was
issued on Sunday was distributed
gratis to the number of 2,5OO,OOO
copies. In his preface General
Boulanger maintains the right Of the
Army to interfere in politics, decIar-
ing that it is now identical with the
nation, and cannot, III presence OF
imminent dangers, be first condemned
to witness all bIunders silently, and
then asked 10 remedy their conse-
quences. General Boulanger de-
c%lares, on the authority of the Pre-
fects' reports, that the great majority
of Frenchmen approved the wnr
with Prussia, and that, consequently,
France was as responsible rs the
Emperor. He disclaims the idea Of
desiring war; but says that wars break
out suddenly, that the national de,
fence is the highest interest, and
that the best security for thorough
preparation is a study OF the precise
facts Of the last campaign. The book
is in eager demand, and the first
part was telegraphed to Germany,
VIII ere it is considered an attempt to
revive warlike feeling.

A deputalion of Members Of Par
lament waited on Wednesday on the
Secretary for War, TO ask him whether
the Government had arranged any
scheme of defence in the event OF
invasion. Mr.. Stanhope replied that
the Government was well aware Of
the possibility Of danger, and was
rapidly organising the defence OF the
ports, one of its first objects being to
make an attack on London by means
of the Thames absolutely impossible.
1t had prepared a complete scheme
of mobilization, and was hoping to
organise a third army corps composed
partly of Militia and partly of Regu-
lars, and supported by all Volunteers
not employed in the defence of the
ports. They had no doubt, consider
ing the enormous numbers OF men
who have passed through the Volun-
teers, of securing the necessary
force and 1--WE hope to be able to

Speedily realised, and that the ammu-

will be as ready as the guns. 1t is, we
fear, a monstrous fact that in this

is materiel, and that, moreover, owing
