SIR H. MACKENZIE'S BOOK.

(PKB PRESS ASSOCIATION)

sr. London, Ootober 17. The publishers of Sir M. Mackenzie's book, anticipating that it nrght pos sibly be confiscated, sold ard distri buted a large number of the books eecietly. The importation of the work into Germany was effected previously to the book appearing m England, by means of packages so branded that the heavy import duty on the material which the packages were supposed to contain completely deluded the autho rities as to the actual nature of their contents.

The "Times" m the course of an article on the quarrel between Sir M. Mackenzie and the German doctors, de clares that the former's diagnosis of the disease from which the late Emperor was Buffering, was wrong, though it is im possible to: say whether the treatment prescribed by the German doctors or by Sir Morell Mackenzie was right. Berlin, October 17. a The revelations contained m Sir Morell Mackenzie's book are causing a feeling of increased animosity among the German Court officials towards England. mmmmmmm ___ I

COLONIAL GOVERNORSHIPS.

(PBB FBKSS ASSOCIATION.)

London, Ootober 17

The rumor to the effect that Sir John Gorst, Political Secretary to the India Office, would succeed Sir W. D: Jervois as Governor of New Zealand is denied.

It is reported that the Right Hon D. R. Plonkett, Commissioner of Works m thft present Administration, will succeed Sir William Robinson as Governor of South Australialittle credence being given to the rumor formerly telegraphed to the effect that Mr Plunkett if as to be the probable successor of Sir A. Musgrave as Governor of Queensland. It is thought the climate of South Australia vrill be more suitable to the right hon. gentleman's health than the climate of Queensland.

The succession to the Governorship of Queensland is now regarded as a certainty for the Bight Hon. H. Cecil Kaikes, one of the membars for Gam bridge University, and Postmaster- General m the present Administration. Some months ago Mr Raikes was men tioned as a probable successor to Sir W. Jervoia.

A CANCER DOCTOR

A correspondent send" the following, thinking it &H interest our readers : — During our visit we were informed of the wonderful cures being performed by a man living at Biver atone, near Windsor, called German Charley, You would not give 6d for the clothes on his body, yet his wonderful cures are being talked of all over Sydney. Every case of caDcer treated by him has been cured m a few days, and hie charges are Is consultation and Is medicines. This is no fairy tale of oars, but sn important fact, and hun dreds of respectable families can cor roborate our statement Since Charley has commenced to practice, boarding houses for the accommodation of those consulting him have bten erected m Riverstone, and omnibuses have been put on to ran patients to his humpy from the railway station. Go when you will tbete are always from 120 to 130 patients wait lag to ste him. One fact concerning Charley we will relate, A carriage was test for him one day to visit a gentleman suffering from oancer, and when Charley was pointed out to the coachman, the latter refuted to take him for some time, bat on being convinced that he was the doctor, the ooachy too? him. A cure wai effected and a oheque for £60 was sent to Charley, who kept £1, and returned £49, Bat this is nothing etrange, as any of our Batharst medicos would do the same. He has been repeatedly offered a hand some earn for his secret about cancer earing, bat has refased to part with it. He treats all complaints, and if the oaie ts submitted to him that he cannot cure he tells the patient so at once. Those doubting out statement can easily dis eoAer It Is true by wrltiDg to any respeot able person In Riverstone. His mode of treating oancer Is by rubbing come liquid on the affeoted part, when In a few days the spot becomes discolored, and tbe flesh rises, and the cancer comes away, roots and all, and when the placa heals these !• a little spot left like t nook mark.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

London, Ootober 17

The " Times " this morning has an article on the case of Ah Foy versus the Collector of Customs, recently decided m Melbourne. The paper congratulates the Austra lians on the judgment of the Appeal Court which was m favor of the plaintiff, and declares that all lovers of international fair play will rejoice at the result, as it is conclusive evidence that the unreasonable excitement of some Australian politician^ is not shared by the people. The article recom mends America to imitate the colonies and mete out justice to the Chinese.
