ENGLAND'S FOREIGN RELATIONS.

London, October 26. Lord Rosebery, at Sheffield, attri buted the attacks of the foreign Press on Great Britain to the latter's success m colonising, while foreigners failed. Referring to Madagascar he said, while Franco did not exceed Treaty lights there, England could not move. Within the past two years there had been periods of anxiety as to the relations between England and France, but negotiations had led to the settlement of disputes.

A MUSIC HALL CRUSADE

London, October 26. The London County Council have approved the report of the Licensing Committee recommending that the license to the Empire Music Hall be renewed, on condition that the prome nade be abolished and no drink sold m the auditorium. The crusade of women agitators against the Music Hall is causing some agitation m London. The manager of the Empire threatens to close the house, and throw seven hundred people out of employment.

According to news from Tahiti, per the Richmond at Auckland, serious trouble is feared on the island of Raiatea, m the Society Group, between the natives. rJ he Governor afc Tahiti asks France for five ships and three thousand men m order to subjugate Raiatea, whfch will not snbmit to French rule. The beltigerent natives number between two and three thousand. General Schofield, Commander-in-Chief of the American army, urges that the troops are inadequate to enforce Federal authority m view of possible strikes, and it is necefisary to increase the force by extra artillery and cavalry and four regiments of infantry.
