British Troops Again Marching-- Perils of The Road--Thibetans " And Their Customs, Colonel Younghusband"s unsuccess- ful mission to Thibet, which has re- sulted in the British Government fit- ting out an expedition to bring the Dalai Llama to terms, calls attention to that great city of which the out- side world knows so little--Lhassa, the mysterious. Solitary and aloof it has dwelt in the heart of the Ilim- alayas for twelve centuries, and from its mountain heights has sent forth the sacred lay to millions of the faithful, for the Grand Llama is the Pope of the Buddhist world. His temporal authority is almost equal to that of a king, although Thibet has always been ranked as a Chinese province, and thrice a year the Lama has sent a tribute to Pekin. Outside of this perfunctory observance of an ancient custom, Thibet has been un- mindful of politics and international affairs. The people of the country have tilled their arid soil and tended their herds of sheep and yaks, while the Grand Llama and the lesser church 'dignitaries have been wrapped in the contemplation of their ancient religion. But this isolation must end, soon or late, for Thibet has be- come a pawn in the great game which Britain and Russia are playing, The Bear is seeking an outlet to the south, and the Lion keeps moving north. Thibet lies between. Its fate is inevitable. It must choose its mas- ter. No longer will it be permitted to remain neutral. The Llama realizes this fact, and making a virtue out of a necessity, he despatched a mission to St. Petersburg some months ago, and, it is rumored, came to an un- derstanding with the Czar, He was wise enough not to waste time by applying to Pekin for advice or as- sistance. This move forced the hand of Britain, and Col. Younghushand's mission was the result. The pretext for the British expedition is the re- fusal of the Llama to make a com- mercial treaty with the Indian Cov- ernment, Distrust of Russia is the reason, Thibetans and Their Customs. Except from a strategic point of view Great Britain or Russia can gain little by occupying Thibet, The country is poor, the inhabitants, ex- cept to themselves, are unimportant But The Novoe Vremya says: "Who- ever becomes master in the residence of the Dalai Llama will undoubtedly enjoy great prestige and influence throughout | the Puddhist world." Prestige of this sort is not important to either of the great powers, but it is difficult to see how the Russian newspaper. arrives at its conclusion One rather inclines to the belief that the Buddhists would regard "the cap- tors of their holy city with much the same feelings as the Crusaders enter- tafned for the Moslems during the Crusade. The opinions of the Budd- hists are not- worrying either Russia or Britain. Both nations have the habit of depending on themselves, and each, for the sake of forestalling the other, would probably be willing to be voted the most unpopular race in Asia. Although, according to our en- lightened eyes, the Thibetans are poor misguided heathens, their im- pending fate is something they' have hardly deserved. Many conflicting reports have been circulated about them, but the best authorities agre: that they are neither bloodthirsty nor predatory, On the contrary, they have frequently shown the greatest kindness to adventurous Europeans who have penetrated their country. True, some of their cus- toms do not commeénd themselves to the refined tastes of Christian people. For instance, they mix butter in their tea and eat with chopsticks. They also practice polyandry, woman being far outnumbered by the men. This fact may account for the great number of religious instructors in the country who take the vows of celi- bacy. Apart from these peculiari- ties, which only * go to prove that they are old-fashioned, the Thi- betans are a decent people, 'as. Asi- atic races go. Tt is not their fault that they occupy ground, which, if Russia held it, would be dangerous to India, and which, if' dominated hy Britain, would be exasperating to the Czar. It is their misfortune. Having declined te receive our missionaries, they must prepare to entertain our troops. One Esglishman Enters Lhassa. Since the famous Palace of Lhassa was erected in the seventh cemtury, hundreds of Caucasian explorers have attempted to visit the sacred city and register at the best hotel they could find. Some famous explorers have undertaken the exploit, and among thein might be named Prince Henry of . Orleans, Bonvalat, I'rje- valski, Capt. Bower, Savage Landor, Rockhill, Capt, Wellby, Dutreuil de Rhin, Gerard, Littledale, Sven Iled- in, Bogle, Maxwell, and Sherlock Holmes Only two of the number ever entered the forbidden city-- Maxwell and Holmes. We have only Sir A. C. Doyle's assurance that Mr, Holmes really did reach Lhassa, hut since' the gentleman has done more remarkable things there is no reas why we "should attempt to discred his exploit. In 1811, Thomas Max- well saw the inside of Lhassa, and it is rather surprising to learn that he didn't troubles to write a book about it. He was a finely educated gentle- man, Who might, had he chosen, have prepared a literary monument to his memory. He merely jotted down a few notes, which long after his death were incorrorated in the volume of another explorer. The first British mission to the Dalai Llama was despatched by Warren Hastings in 1774, in charge of George Bogle. This intrepid traveler got within a hundred niles of the city when he was met by Ambassadors from the Llama, who treated him with the greatest TEESE EEE SET ---- Sore! and swollen joints, sharp, shooting pains, torturing muscles, no rest, no sleep--that means rheumatism.

He had Hastings' instructions to establish friendly relations with the Llama, and this he succeeded in doing, and for many years there was fea intercourse between India and Thibet. Bogle returned, taking with him specimens of the country's chief products which his master had in- structed him to procure. He also acquired many facts about Thibet which were then for the first time given to the world, Perils of the Road. Traveling im Thibet has always been, 'and must always te, difficult in the extreme. An armbd expedition such as Britain® purposes sending forth would find providing "for its transport the most difficult problem, Mules and ponies-are, plentiful, but in those altitudes fodder is scarce, At this season of ' the year the trip would be even more hazardous than usual. A military force would be able to resist the bands of robbers which infest the great roads, so that this danger, very imminent indeed to smaller parties, need not be reckoned on. The Thibetans, however, would probably resist, and as they have lately supplied themselves with maga- zine rifles they could do terrible exe- cution in a country which can fur- nish three ambuscades for every mile of road. Until a couple of years ago the Thibetans were armed' with old flintlocks and spears, but they learn- ed from China what China had learn- ed of Japan, and are now much Lot- 'ter equipped to give battle than for- merly. Should the expedition reach Lhassa (and that it will do se if Lhassa becomes its objective cannot be doubted), the probability is that a fierce fight will ensue. From what little is known of the city, certain that it is a veritable fortress, set on a high hill. Never has it been put to the test of war, howev- er, so that its actual strength is a matter of mere conjecture. Phe guns of the British are going to ask it a question. ---------------- - POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE. Story of Justice Mawkins" First Brief in Esglish Court.

The King had a rousing reception on -his arrival at the Middle Temple lately, where he dined for the first time since his accession with his fel- low benchers. His Majesty was re- ceived by the Treasurer (Sir Robert Finlay) and after the benchers were presented to His Majesty he walked up the hall with the Attorney-Gen- eral at the head of the procession of benchers, meeting with a dealening welcomed from the 250 robed barris- ters and students assembled is Majesty, who sat on the dais en the Attorney-General's right, appeared in excellent health and spirits, chatting with unusual gaiety with his right hand neighbor, the United Stales Ambassador. The beautiful hall was seen at its best. The soft glow of the electric light arranged as flam- beaux suffused the whole interior from the oaken roof to the red-carpetod floor while a footlight behind the King illuminated the priceless Van Dyke portrait of Charles I. at the end of the hall. There were only three toasts: "The King," 'Queen Alexandra, the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," and "Domus," the last given at dessert; and no speeches were made.

And they stil go there; but instead of spending money like water they wait round in the hope that some one will take pity on them in their fallan estate.

All that these people have left the memory' of their brief day of tawdry splendor--and -- extravagan taste.
