It seems that about a fortnight ego Count Muravieff. the Muscovite Min- ister of foreign Affairs, gave a mag- nificent concert and supper, in honour of the Czar end Czarina all the other members of the Imperial family who happened to he in St. Petersburg being present. The Count complained of feeling ill on the night of the enter- tainment. his looks corroborating his words and he was forced to take to his bed on the following day. Forty-eight hours later the physicians finally diag- nosed his case as a very severe attack lot smallpox. It was therefore taken lfor granted that he had already been in the first stages of that horrible mal- ady at a moment when he was doing the honours of this official residence to the Emperor and Empress. Since then the utmost uneasiness has pre- vailed at the Russian court. and both Nicholas and his beautiful consort may be said to have been under continual and close supervision of their medical attendants, on the lookout for any symptoms of smallpox.

A local lxusineu house received apostal card from a men in Wales. Just over the address some one wrote in English shorthand,while the card was in tran- alt, "D-- the Emperor."

He kept the card until he liound an Englishman who could read shorthand and submitted the (an! to him, and asked the translation. uhirh was promptly and joyfuily given. Thereupon the German wrote to his Welsh correspondent demanding that the man who made the offensive re- marks he found and punished, and that if he were not the matter would he referred to the Prussian Ministur to England for investigation.

After all, this is but the latest stage in a quarrel which is now nearly thin ty years old. There were frontier dif- ticultiess between Frame and Great Brituitn as far back as 1868. In 1870 negotiatiuns were opened for the settle- ment of the respective frontiers of the two rountries in Western Africa. on the " is of a mutual exchange of ter- vitories, the principal being that French influence and authority should; t t car and other places. the Flench have had their own war, and to th, average Englishman It is only too clear that they are now preparing to play the same game in West Africa. It so. they may find more obstacles in their path than they now look for. However this may be, the Royal Nig- or Company will certainly not count- eumme this alleged aggressive amt. on tbs part of the French. In Miuiaga,- car and other places. the Flench have had their own war, and to th, average The story " it reaches us by cable is simple enough. The French, we are told, advanced toward Sokoto and met with no check until the Sultan of that country sent them word that they must halt within forty miles of that: capital. The Sultan presumably relies on receiving assistance from the Royal Niger Company, of Great Bri- tain. in case it ahould be neeesaary for him to use force arraianst the French. On the other hand, some well informed persons in London think that the Sul- tan is not as sincere in his warlike in- tentions as he would have the British believe. bhey first set foot on the da rk contin- ent, but also because it may be the prelude to s new and sensational Franco-British feud. The report, if true, is in not only because tt ia a signa of that persistent and far policy pursued by the Fm llone possess any Jurisdiction over the Sokoto territory! M.
