Reply Partly Satisfactory to Firms.

A cablegram from Helsingfors, Finland,
says: The Geographic report giving the
nature of the emperor's reply to the petit
ton of the diet is only partly satisfactory
to the Firms The diet took the position
that unless the whole petition was granted
it would decline to proceed with legislation.
For the past three months the sittngs of
the diet have been purely formal, and as
the term of the diet expires in the middle
of April should it decide to proceed, only
fortnight remains for actual work in
connection with local legislation, most of
which is pressing.
The imperial decision is regarded by the
constitutionaists being a temporary
makeshift to relieve the present tension. 1t
will undoubtedly remove the possibility of a
serious disturbance next month, when the
CONSUMPTION levies are scheduled.
Although only 100 men were to be taken
from the Finnish battalion the law re-
quired that $4,000 youths submit themselves
at the levy of conscripts from which num-
Der the 100 were to be chosen by lot, the
Russians thereby compelling general recog-
milton of the right of conscription This year
there has been extensive agitation against
the edict, the young men being everywhere
advised to resist the CONSUMPTION, and it is
believed that not more than 10 per cent
would have responded.

Murine opossum in Bunch of Bananas.


Bunches of bananas appear to be the
means of introducing strange animate into
this country, though the new arrivals have
not. like the brown ratio which Waterton
always applied the epithet "Hanoverian"-
established a footing and ousted members
of the native fauna.
Lizards have repeatedly been brought
over in this way and sometimes the little
reptiles have escaped notice till the fruit
was served at dessert In a warehouse at
Newcastle-on-Tynea snake about five feet
long was recently discovered lying near
some punches of bananas. the inference be-
ing that it was imported in the same crate.
In at least one case mammal has been
introduced into Britain in this way Not
long SINCE there was living in the Clifton
Geological Gardens murine opossum-
about the size OF q mouse-discuve.ed in
the interior of a bunch of bananas that
formed part of . consignment from Costa
