THE IRRIGATION OF CENTRAL ASIA

A Russian agent has come to Paris to form
a company 10 undertake the irrigation Of
Central Asia. This scheme would seem to
have been suggested by a volume entitled
"L'Irrigation dams l'Asie Centrale.' published

from the pen Of NJ. Henri Moser, the cele-
brated explorer, who has visited India and
the Soudan aud penetrated into the remote

GREECE.
LawleSs Officers.

On Saturday afternoon a party Of 80
officers of the garrison of Athens, accompa-
MED by soldiers armed with revolyers and
axes, proceeded to the Office Of the AcropoIts,
one of the principal daily papers in the city,
and Systematically wrecked it, destroying
type, presses, furniture, the account-books,
and almost everything else in the place.
The work of destruction was carried on for
an hour, and the police did not put in an APP
pearance till it WAS completed. The Officers
afterwards marched down in triumph to the
military club. The outrage is said to hive
been perpetrated in revenge for comments
made in the Acropolts on repeated excuses
committed about the city Ivy officers. The
damage is estimated at 100000 drachmoe.
The affair has created great excitement in
Athens, and is strongly condemned by all
the papers except the organs of the Delyanni
party. The ringleaders in the affair hive
been arrested, and the Government declares
its resolve to put down such exhibitions Of
lawlessness.- Did.

Now the reform of the Korean Government
if proposed cardidly on its merits, and not as
the pretext 6or a pre-arranged conquest, is a
thing which could not but command the sym

Connolly of st. Mary's made his second attack
on the ring rulers OF Middlesex county to-day.
He spoke TO a much larger audience than usual,
and II was evident that many present were not
familiar with the order of service. Father Con-

he Is waging against st. Stephens Polish church.
At St. stephens the Polish Language is used al
most exclusively. Last Sunday Father Connolly
denounced this un-Amerlcan. To-day he
criticised the newspaper reports OF his sermon,
and objected TO any statement which would
convey the impression that he had attacked st.
Stephens or its pastor.
