1 For considerable time there mas been
| a protest among the poorer Jews in Eng
| land against the high, almost prohibi-
| tive, prices which they have had to pay
| for their meat as compared with the
price paid by their Christian neighbors.
The matter has more than once engaged
the attention of the Jewish administra-
ton authorities, but the difficulty with
which these gentlemen have had to con-
| tend was the fact that the cheap English
! meat was chiefly foreign mutton, and
that the sheep were not, Of course, killed
| in accordance with the Jewish rites. In
| order to meet this difficulty, two
parties were recently sent to Busnos
Ayres for the purpose of killing sheep
there and preparing the meat according
to the Jewish rites. A telegram from
| Buenos Ayres to-day states that the first
| cargo of this meat has left for London,
and that arrangements have been made
for the regular conveyance of similar
cargoes.

pointed out that Salisbury has favored
in the appointment of bishops the clergy
who lean toward Roman forms, and
that eminent men have been ignored be-
cause thew are low Churchmen.
The government is also bitterly criti-
cized for tine announced right to question
the people as to their religious faith in
the decennial census OF 1891. Protests
are coming in from nOn-conformist
bodies against the religious census move,
the complaint apparently being that the
enumerators would discriminate in favor
of the Church of England by counting
for that church all who do not belong to
any church.
series of questions were sent to the
congregations of the established church
of Scotland asking whether marriages
were USUALLY celebrated in the church or

TREATY WITH JAPAN.
England is planning to increase her
prestige in another quarter, however,
and hopes to get ahead of America and
other nations in new treaty with Japan
which would make British interests pre-
dominant in that country. The proposed
treaty will substantially recognize the
jurisdiction of the Japanese courts and
laws over foreigners residing in Japan,
and will admit feature as impracticabl0

bodied in the treaties with America,
Germany and Russia. providing for the
presence of foreigners on the supreme

Japan s place among the civilized ma

boundless gratitude of tine Japanese to-
ward Great Britain, and consequent
prosperity for British trade with that
empire.

his head near his fathers home in a re-
mote section of county Cork, is be-

this point a profound secret. The fact
that Tuesday is to be the great day has
