The coftins were then low- ered into a common grave. Au unsolved problem in the British house of commons is how te make rules that will prevent maiicious filli- bustoring, and at the same time not interfere with debate. The next ses- sicn of parliament will make it a spe- ¢ ul study. Indeed, some go s far as to say that this will be the one im- portant matter before the house. It will prove very perplexing, for, as a liberal paper says, ever since the Irish members learned how to obstruct businens, ‘men of great capacity and special experience have been endeav- oring to deviso n scheme for w reform of the proceedure of the house, which, while it shall prevent obstruction, shall avoid interference with the lib- erty of debate, and they have all of them failed * In the American con- gress the ma jority party aoes not find it difticult to wake rules to suit itself, and trusts to luck never to become the minority party. Boglish con- servatives, on the other hand, de- mand that no changes shall be made unless they are te be perpetuated, whatever party is in power. In some respeots, too, it is more important in parliament than in congress to lhave overy measurd debated.

The three officers who have been undergoing trial for neglect of duty in allowing the late czar of Russia to be assassinated have each tenced to Siberia for three years, A been sen- most curious fact wasdisclosed during the trial that the man Emilianoff; who was the first to rosh forward and scize the wounded emperor and help lift him into the sleigh, was one of the assassing and had a bomb concealed about his clothing at the time. The four men were, it seems, stationed fifteen yards apart in a line. Emi. Jianoff was the last of the four, and secing that the deadly work had been accomplished did not throw his bomb, What the Russian government is going to do with him does nct appear, but he was certainly as morally guilty as his associates who were hung. A cate of slavery in its most dis- gusting torm has come to light in Con- stantinople, A traveling showman, calling himself Hodjali Ben Moham- med, bought some time ago in London twelve street Arabs, paying from §8to $12apiece, cash down, to their miser- able parents, and has since traveled with them over a good part of Europe, giving acrobatic performances. The troupe went by the high-sounding name of the ‘‘Original and Genuine Troupe of Beni-zong-zong Bedouin Arabs.” The infants - for they ranged in age from three to six years—wero often soundly whipped, and all the time were half starved. A traveling Englishman happened to hear of the case, and through the efforts of the consul general and the interposition of Lord Granville, the children were released and sent home. Chari- tably disposed people have undertaken to cate for and educate them, for 1t was not thought best to appeal to their unnatural parents. The boys were found in a room about fifteen was a few boxes. They were dirty, barefooted, and clothed only in baggy Turkish trousers and shirts many sizes too big. They had never tasted tea, coffee or any other luxury, and were usually fed from a tin pot on some unpalatable stew. They were never allowed any amusements be- yond the acrobatic tricks which they had to practice as professionals, and were never allowed to go alone out- side of their lodging room. There are well grounded suspiciens that other equally sad cases of cruelty and neg- lect are to be found in variows parts of Europe. f The German army is furnished chiefly with officers and men from Prussia. The ofticial muster roll for 1882-3 shows that out of 18,134 offi- cers Prussia supplies 14,008, as against 1,137 from Saxony, 733 from Wur- temburg, and 2,216 from Bavaria. Of the minor officers, about the same large proportion comes from her— 38,501 in a total of 51,581, as against 8,283 from Saxony, 2,341 from Wur- temburg, and 3,366 from Bavariy.

On the French side a distance of 1,800/ meters and on the English one of 1,600, or 3,400 meters in all, which are something more than one-tenth of the entire distance to be placed.
