THE SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Press says it is satisfactory to learn, on the authority of the Fooshow Herald, that the negociations in-connection with HONGKONG, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1876, the outrage on the Anna, between the German Authorities and the Chinese Go- vernment are in a fair way to being ami- cably settled: The Chiness Government has, it seems, acceded to two out of the three points the German Minister was instrusted to insist upon, namely, the

be the Gardens.
some action was taken to convince them that they cannot pursue this policy with impunity. The resolute stand made by the German Minister at Poking has already horna good fruit.

Ir cannot be admitted that Japan has fully taken her place among enlightened nations so long as she probibits the reporting of criminal trials. The case of the Custom House officer, Konoma, who is charged with assaulting Mr Pass, having been called on for hearing in the Judicial Court of Kanagawa-ken on the 18th instant, the Judge, on taking his rest, ordered that the reporters should be excluded. Mr Pass objected to this proceeding, and refused to give evidence unless the reporters were admitted. The Judge then explained that by the Ja- paness law reporters could not be pre- sent at criminal trials, and asked Mr Pass to withdraw his charge against, we presume, Konoma, This Mr Pass ob my6jected to do, and ultimately the Court broke up without going into the case.
