THE President has decided to give
the gander some of the same sauce,
but it is noticeable that he applies
1t in homeopathic quantities. 1t is
also noticeable that the sauce does
not seem to suit the gander much
better than it did the goose.

In view of the news of the reorganization and

the Postal and Telegraph Department at st.

Rentzky, DragOnnof and Faber, for the exam
ination Of all suspicious matter passing through
the mails, it is only fair to Russia to explain
that in spite of all the official protestations to
the contrary there is in the general postoffice of
every capital in Europe bureau of the same
kind where letters, foreign and domestic,
tampered with behalf of the government by
men specially selected for the purpose. The late
Prince Bismarck, in the course of an interview
with of the editors of the "Neue Freie
Presse." the leading Viennese newspaper, in
September 1897, did not hesitate to boast of the
assistance which, while in office Chancellor
he had derived from the officials of the BLACK
Cabinet of the postal department at Berlin;
While in France the Prefect of Police is in
debted for much valuable information obtained
in a similar manner at the general postoffice at
Paris. Perhaps the best proof that can be fur
nished here of the existence of these Black Cab
inets all over Europe is the well established fact
that foreign governments and embassies when
they have dispatches of a particularly conf
Dental and important nature to transmit never
confide them to the mails. but always send them
by specially recruited "couriers de Cabinet"
styled i'll England Kings messengers"

cases any harsh measures adopted in dealing
with them had deliberately been provoked by
themselves, or else by professional agitators.
The sensational stories so industriously crcula-
ted of late concerning Turkish atrocities in the
Christian provinces of the Sultan should there
fore be received with a good deal of caution and
reserve.
With regard to the appointment last week of
Vice-Admiral Alexieff Governor General of
all Russia's possessions east of the Amoor, with
the extraordinary powers Of a viceroy land
and sea, it is merely the fulflment of a project
devised more than four years ago and described
in these letters in the autumn of 1899 at the time
of the transfer of the admiral from the com
mand of the Black Sea fleet to that of the Cars
naval forces in the Far East. Attention was on
that occasion drawn to the fact that the admiral,
in addition to his duties afloat, invested
with the control of the government and military
forces of the Kwangtung and Amoor districts
and with the direction of the diplomatic nego-
tiat1ons with China, Corea and Japan in all
affairs relating to his viceroyalty.
The siege of the legations at Peking and the
subsequent military operations of the allied
forces in China contributed to delay the eXecu-
ton of this plan although for the last four years
the admiral has been in supreme command of
Russias forces on sea and land in the Far
Orient. The only modification of the original
plan which is to be found in the description of
the powers conferred upon the admiral last
week is that he, and consequently, also, his
subordinates, are rendered Independent of the
ministers of War, of Marine, of Finance and Of
Foreign Affairs at St. Petersburg, and
sponsible to one but the Car.
While it is easy to understand that the Jap
anese should be alarmed by AleXiefs nomina-
ton as viceroy, since they look on him hav-
ing been the moving and guiding spirit of Rus
sias policy in China since 1899 and regard him
as responsible for the strong hold which his
country has obtained on Manchuria, yet his ap-
pointment IS in many respects a guarantee of
peace and constitutes an assurance against any
further Muscovite aggression. Most of Russias
wars Of conquest in Asia have been begun by
officers whose ambition for promotion and dis
tinction led them to cause hostilties either with
out imperial commands or in defiance thereof
knowing that owing to the immense distance
from St Petersburg, nothing could be known
about their enterprise until they could report the
success thereof.
A case in point was that of the naval captain
Nevesky, who in 1852. in direct contravention
of the commands of Nicholas l, annexed all the
territory at the mouth of the Amur. On learn
ing thereof Nicholas summoned the captain to
st. Petersburg, and during the course Of an
hours audience first reduced him TO the ranks
for disobedience, and then promoted him at one
bound to the rank OF vice-admiral, at the same
