None of the names of the passengers are known in the office in Bowiingi Green. She brings 233-1 pouches of maul and a cargo worth more than $100,000. Friends of her voyager-s are calling in greater numbers at the pier. foot. of Norton street, and at the office. Tole- griuns of inquiry are coming in from relatives. seems to have greatly satisfied the various factions. The scheme adds 23.- 000 men to the army. the largest in- crease ever proposed in Great Britain in time of peace. So great is the Empire's demand now that one in every sixteen ableâ€"bodied men in the country is serving either in the army or navy. and one in every four youths reaching the age of 18 years has joined one of the two services. The great drawback of the present system. Mr. Broderick said, was to pro- vide for sudden small wars. and it was proposed to meet this situation by allowing 5,000 infantry to go on the reserve. and draw a shilling, instead of Sixpence, per day, these men to be subâ€" ject to call in any emergency. Mr. Broderick outlined a scheme of \Var Office reforms conferring larger powers of initiative and financial con- trol upon generals, and putting an end to the system of constant reference to the W's: Office of minor matters. It. was proposed. he said, to create three effective army corps. of which two would take the field immediately in case of war, and 10,000 men would be in, readiness for minor emergencies without calling upon the reserves. No battalion of infantry would have fewer than 650 men, no cavalry regiment fewâ€" er than 350. and no artillery battery A550“ 19" Eu?

It seems that about a fortnight ago Count Muravieff, the Muscovite Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, gave a mag- nificent concert and supper. in honour of the Czar and Czarina. all the other members of the Imperial family who happened to be in St. Petersburg being present. The Count complained of feeling ill on the night of the enter- tainment. his looks corroborating his words mud he was forced to take to his bed on the following day. Fortyâ€"eight hours later the physicians finally diag- nosed his case as a very severe attack of smallpox. It was therefore taken for 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 officiall 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. .-... _.‘p._- .
