We have enforced our rights iti Siani, and wo aio quite ablo foribly to provtnb England from dismembering China. In Africa wo have managed so ably that our ompiro now extends from Algiers to the Soudan, to tho coast of the Niger (.«<■). to Lako Tchard, to the Congo, and to tho Nile. Only last week M. Honotaux higned with tho King of tho Bolgains a treaty tho practical effect of which cuts right across tho famous route from tho Capo to Caito, which England dreamed of making an English route from end 10 end. . , . Tho Egyptian question has to bo amicably settled betwoen Paris and London by the liberty of Egypt under the suzerainty of tho Sultan, ami with tho guarautoo of t^ho Powers. Tho negotiations need not bo long not ditliculb, provided tho BiUMi Cabinet clearly grasps that we are firmly resolved to bring about tho evacuation under such conditions as may bo most compatible with British amour propra. All that tho English papers may attempt to defeat or dolay that negotiations is absolutely o£ no avail. Franco, conscious of her strongth, will do her duty to tho end.

Just beforo Christmas they visited a largo Berlin establishment, and wero enchanted with its wares Ono of the Princes picked out the object of his choice, and at onco proceded to tho cashier's desk. Her Majesy asked him whether this was all ho intended to buy, wlion he retorted in a most business like tone, "No; but I prefer to pay for everything separately, °o that I slia'n't epentl more than I'vo got.'
