discovery Is a different thing from elective ana
continuous occupation. And yet the Kings Ian
euace maintains the claim that the presence OF
wandering priests of Portuguese origin in TINS
Shire region some century or more ago constitutes
all the titIes of conquest and annexation. Fortu-
nately Dom Carlos relies on negotiations. ana IL
is a good sign that his Government has given the
fre-eating Major Serpa Pinto leave to return home
on the ground of health.

The chief causes of delay in enforcing British
demands is the difficulty OF communicating with
Mr. Johnston the Consul. who is arranging with
the natives of the Tanganyika district, as he ar
ranged with those of the Shire, in order 10 secure
future trade in those important centres
The New Years speeches Of the Continental
rulers are cheerful and confident. King Hum

Germany and Russia as helping 10 maintain peace
and as an Improvement on the time when peace
could not be guaranteed for fortnight, are III

There is now no mistake about the presence Of

Everybody is asking why Captain O'Shca de
ferred his suit against Nh Parncu till now. j. Is
known that three years ago Mr Parncl lived III
the same house with Captain OShea and Mrs.
O'Sbca. and respect for Captain O'Shea IS not In

till Mr.. Parnell's solicitors compelled that step
Many believe that the case Will never 20 INTO
court, and that il arises from motives OF pecuhi-
arv character. Captain OSheas fortune has
largely deprecated Of late, while MIS- OShea has

and may perhaps learn whether the current Glad

been instigated 20 take this step by a certain

character. Mr.. Parnell is said TO have pretty
budget Of correspondence, which throws a strange
light on Captain OShcas motives and bearing IN

Messrs. Brear Icaly and others against Captain
O'Shea, all Of which arose out Of Mr. Parncl's
relations toward tie O'Shca family. Nor is il
