Phe exquisite carv- ings are from designs approved by the Queen, ant' said to have been partly suggested by her. It is possible that the yacht may be seen in American walers, as efforts are being made to induce a member of the royal family to visit Canada next year. If the Duke and Duchess of York shuuld be seleoted, they will make the voyage in the royal yacht. The probabilities, however, point to the Duke of Connaught making the trip. Secretary Chamberlain's heart is in the scheme, for he feels strongly that Canada, after the commercial con- cessions to the Mother Country, is en- itied to some special mark of favour.

Some one seems to be re- ferred to whose name was known to the evangelist, but evhomi it was bet- ter not to mention, Dr. Deems make, the acute suggestion that the "other disciple" was Judas Iscariot.

A direct lie; but We, must remember, first, that orientals are habitual liars and neither falsehood itself nor the discovery of it has ever been as dis- gracelnl with them as with us; second- ly, while Peter was a victim of physi- cal fear a little later, if not already, he may have had also another temp- tation to falsehood; for. if he had said, "I am," he would have been forth- with put out, and his weak soul may have argued that this lie might help bine help his Master.

We can easily fancy the measured tramp of the troops, the shomting of orders, the slamming of doors, the hurrying to and fro of messengers, and the activity of offi- cials, grudgingly kept awake all night. Moving lights and heavy shadows made the scene gloomily picturesque. But now the soldiers had been marched out again, and none remained but the ser- vants of the high priestly household, together with a few Jewish officers of lower grade. A fire of coals.

Z., says: -Advices from Samoa indicate that the instruotions received from the powers to cease boetilities make the situation in the islands very serious as the rebels hold the main food supplies, and are again near the municipality of Apia. The correspondent of Reuteree News Agency thinks le is evident that the home authorities have misunde'r'stood the situation in Samoa. The Germans and rebels are already jubilant, and claim a victory over the Britieh and American forces, The correspondent says that unless the rebels are made to submit the diffieulties will remain unsolved. The white people in the out -skirts of the city aro at the mercy of the rebels. The American Vice -Con- sul's store at Falifa was looted last week, while a German store adjoining it was left untouched.

Two days after the last battle at VaIlima, Lieut. R. A. Gaunt of the British cruiser Porpoise marched his brigade into Vailima unopposed, and was followed by a company of British bluejackets under Captain Stur'dee and Lieut, Cave. Inspection of the bat- tlefield shows that the defences erected by the rebels near the home of the late Robert Louis Stevenson were strong and well -planed. The loss sus- tained by the rebels, it is evident, was much greater than (vas at first sup- posed. The main section .of Mataafees followers who were engaged in the battle of Vailima retreated westward to Lulumoenga, where they lay in wait for friendlies. Orders have been given them to (septum Lieut. Gaunt's head. Thu rebels were also anxious to se- cure the superior weapons with which his brigade was armed. It is rumored that thirteen boats, filled with armed rebels, are approach- ing from the east. The town appears to be safe. THE CITADEL CONDEMNED.. filslorle Fort or mime tube Abandoned, A despatch from Halifax says :-The citadel over -looking this city, which has heretofore. been considered the strongest fortification in America, has been condemned. This fort was sup- posed to be impregnable, but it has seen its last days of usefulness in the capacity of a basis of defence in case of war. Already the guns have been dumped, and hereafter' the place will be little less than a resort for sightseeing tour- ists. The citadel is 258 feet above the level of the sea, and overlooks the city. It -is nearly a mile in ciroumference. It was constructed at an enormous Dost by the British Government, Mar- oons staving been brought to this coun- try to assist in the work. The mor- tality among these men, however, was so great that the British Government was compelled to send them to the River Niger. The'oitadel has several subterranean passages, which are unknown to out - eiders. It has been decided by the authorities to use the plane in the future, for barrack purposes, and one of the regiments now in Wellington barracks will be quartered there. The dismantling of the fortress will not weaken the Halifax fortification to any appreciable extent, as York redoubt, which commands the entrance to the harbour, is now considered im- pregnable. It is built of the solid rook, and is mounted with a heavy battery.' CORPSE IN A PACKING BOX. d _ Susplolona or Murder Aroused at King's Cross, London.
