THE THIBETAN WAR.

[per press association J Caloptta, September 25 Later information states that the troops under General Graham drove the Thibetans from Jalapla Pass. The enemy made a gallant stand until the rapid artillery fire from the mountain guns of the British completely de moralised them, and they fled from their position, having lost 400 men m the engagement. The casualties on the British side are put down at 12 men wounded. All the Thibetan posi tions wers captured.

In view of the limited resources at his command, General Graham intends to occupy Jalapla Pass, and withdraw the troops permanently from Sikkim. This course has been adopted, as General Graham considered the troops there were exposed to danger, as the town is open to attack from several quarters. It is intended to push for ward as soon as reinforcements arrive. (Reoelved September 27, 12 35 a m ) - OAIOOTTAj September 20.

SALVATION ARMY.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— lv reading over your valuable columns last ovenlng I noticed that the Salvation Army Captain had been fined for obsttuolDg the street. I have noticed before this that onr looal authorities or eomo one else appear ve?y anxious to get tho Army convicted, and now they have succeeded. Ido not think It Is muoh to their credit. It Is not my business to go Into the real liw of the matter. I hava no doubt that our J.P.'a and police had something to go upon, but does it not appear remarkable that bo tnaoh troab'e should be taken to catch these harmless people, who are trying In their well-known I way to do good tr thoae who need It 1 i They try to follow bat tbe injanotlon to "go out into the highways and compel them to come m," and so that some may rhear they stand In our street and invite- It Is well known that tbe Army trie) to raise the lowest of the low, and make them good oitizons m tho beat nenae of tbe word They have won many from the downward path of sin end shame. They have gone to the outcast and bldth>m "Oomel" while other peoplo stand idiy by, and deolaro they can do nothing. Many a poor wanderer has been attracted fiom gin shops by their bands and dinging. All people ara bound to cay they do good ' to a oenain olaaa, and mentally pat them On their backs, but at the same time they must uot parade our Btroeta hnro In Ash burton ; they are so crowded ! I should like to know how it la that other large towns, suoh as Ohrlstcharoh, Danadln, eta, do not prevent them Are their streets not so crowded? I think they are It may be that our police havo no*i muoh to do and want work If that la bt, I wish they would kindly divert some of their attention to preventing oar oltlzma from gutting the worse for liquor on Sundoya. It is commonly reported tha v . drink can ba got any Sunday In town, and that drinking Is going on oonMnually. Why, Sir, only last Sunday I know several well koown men were seen the worse for drink. I think If the law were enforced more strictly to keep publloanß, tfcafc will break It, In order, It would be better than pur suing the harmless and useful Salvation Army, who mean well to all mm and evil to none. I think It would be credit able If the authorities were to render all tbe assistance they can to help the Army In their noble work of rescue. I have great reppect for the law, but I detest i's being made to press heavily on come while others are continually winked at for the breach of It. Why cannot all the people be made to oitoply with tho Wvr 1 when we 1 pay so men for that purpose ? With the power the police hava every house m the town could be dosed at the legal tlmo if they set themselves to It m earnest. It is a farce to call them doted when all the , doors In the house are open, but one, and the bar lighted up on Sunday evenings. With thanks for spaoe, I am, eto , '• Not One 01?

THE SERVIAN SCANDAL

It la announced from Belgrade that King Milan Is preparing an answer to tho various statements mado on behalf of Qaoen Nathalie by Princess Morusol, which will bo oommnnioaled to several Enropoan aovorolgaa. The Xin s » denies that he has any iutention of contracting another marring", and offirraa that he has attained his main object no .7 that he has succeeded m withdrawing the Grown Pflnce from the Influence of ilia Qiaon.

A Belgrade oorro3pondent la responsible for tbe following voralon of tbe circum stances oonneciod with tho "Servian scandal" : — Tho King la roady to Ootioede anything »a long bs the Quoon remains out of the country, and thus ledemia the fault aho oomaaitted la trying to play an Inde pendent politloal part;. Relations betvreen them are bo strained at presort that Ih In ooimnoi is Impossible. Tho present state of things haa existed for the lnat 10 years. It is a long time since all intimacy ceased between them. It was the efforts made by tbo Quoon to thwart the policy of tho Progroasißt Ministry that' widened the breach between her and her husband. Everybody was surprised to eoe that the Quoon showed a preference precisely for those political porHonagoa m whom King Milan had no confidence. Disputes arose which inspired the King with aversion for domestic life, and to a certain extent influenced his whole oonduct. Thet was tho state of things when the ill fated war of 1885 broke out, Dishoartonod by the defeat of his nrmy, the Kiog at one moment thought of abdicating. Do tele eraphed to tho Queen, who immediately replied that aho would see to the instal ment of a regency. Queen Nathalie's cm- Y-reanmcnt on this occasion gave offence to the King. From that day forth he felt sure the Qaoen waabent on depriving him of the crown for her own benefit and that of her son o Tho following Incident amply demonstrate!! on what terms the Servian royal oonplo wero living. There was a dinner parly at the palace m honor of one of the Foreign Ministers. In the coarse of conversation the King observed that be had been ednoatod In Paris. "One would not perooive it," remarked tbe Queen. Unpleasant Incidents of this kind oconrred repeatedly. The Queen always liked to havo the last vtord, and failed to (zrosp what her position really was. The Klog at last deolded not to let his wife make heraelf a politloal position at his exponso, and a rapture was brought about.
