numerous and important are the foreign ques-
tions present or pending that Lord Rosebery has
taken tho unusual course Of actively interfering
In the business Of the FOREIGN once. When In
town he calls there daily. and he has spent hours
with Sir Thomas Sanderson and other perma-
nent chiefs OF departments. IL is impossible 10
say positively whether this ls relished by Lord
Kimberley, the actual Foreign Minister, but IL
certainly looks a. though he were sulking, for he
went down 10 his Norfolk mansion Immediately
after the Cabinet Council and has not been At
the Foreign once since. All this Is being
kecnly watched by the diplometists, who are
beginning 10 believe that serious friction has
arisen between Rosebery and Kimberley, which
may possibly result in an open rupture before
the reassembling OF Parliament. Whatever
may be the outcome, the present situation Is
deeply interesting 10 those who have inside in
formation concerning what IL going on.

ing districts will take MP the cudges in his de-
fence when the Chamber meets.
In tho course of erimenta with tho Marlin
gun at Lydd camp bamboo screens were the
targets Tho greater the velocity obtained, the
less was the effect on the screens. 1t was some
times almost impossible TO see where the bullets
passed through. The inference is that II q bull
let struck human being in a feshy but not
vital part the injury would be less serious than
that inflicted by projectile of less velocity.
Strong protests come from both the foreign
and native inhabitants Of fConstantinople against
the oppressive policy Of espionage recently en-
forced by the Sultan's Government The min
ions Of the Sultan even scent political conspiracy
in garden party or ball. Sometimes such en-
tertalnments are prohibited, and at others insult
is added to injury by order that q representa-
tive of the palace be present. The latter step
was adopted recently at the annual distribution
of prizes at the English high school for girls.
