Anti-Foreign Disturbances in Shantung.
In connection with the art which appars olsewhere under the title Au 18- structivo Social Phenomenon in Chius, our correspondent in Shantung writer:-Siase
I wrote to you, six weeks ago, the troubles havo come to a crisis, and our premises have been threatened to the klaren of st least two District Magistrates, and of any of our peuple. I happened to be away, not anticipating anything in the harvest time. but the eighth moon feast was a signal for trouble to begin. There has been a rain of telegrams at the instanca of the Consul at Tientsin through the Viceroy to the Cvernor of Shanglung, and thence to a military commandant naar ua at Te Chou;: bat the latter turned out not to have any troops At present, there is an inter regmism of comparative quiet, but no one can force to what this will load.
Armed Robbery.
.
Within the last few months, the drsheds of the Dairy Farm: at Pokfulam have been entered on three separate neza- sions, the keeper and his family tied up, Led money and clothing stolen. The rob bera secured $160 on the first occasion; on 5th September the place was again entered, but the thieves decamped empty-handl. Exactly a month afterwards the same gang of three mon, it is supposed, entered the place, tied up the inmates, and cleared off with money and articles to the value of $22. After the departure of the men, the Poliza were informed of the outrage, and Sorgoant Langley telephoned to Inspector McLautan at No. 7 Police Station inform ing him of the affair. The Inspector pro- coded on the Rokfulam Road and arrost- ed a mat near the forts who was carrying a musical clock answering the description of one that was stolen. At the Magistrang. to-clay, this man was brought befors Mir Gompertz, who remanded the case till Fri-

Mr Clarence Greathouse.
A to sgram has been received from Seoul, dated the 28th September, stating that Mr Greathouse is dying. This (mulya tho Japan Herald) is sad news for his friends, of whom there are many in Japan. Mr Greathousa. was formerly American Conal-General for scrie time, bat of late years he has been resident in Corea, as Ingal adviser to the government there. Ho and General Le Gendre who has lately diod were appointed about the same time to occupy positions in the Peninsula.
Japanese Insurance Business.
Ils now almost beyond doubt (says. the Kobe Chronicle) that some special legis lation will be introduced at the forthcoming sousion of the Diet for exercising control ovor life insurance-basaress in Japan, the purport of such legislation being to fix the responsibilities of the shareholders of life inqurando companics in a more decided manner. The new Civil Code has also some provisions affecting the business. The companies, it would seem, apprehend that the new law will render their business any- thing but say, and that the smaller con- ceros will ultimately be driven to the wall. To esespa this fate, they will hayo to anal.. gainate with each other. On the other bad, the business in steadily increasing as the importance of life insurauco becomes recognised. Last year it suffered very much in sympathy with the trade depros sion, and the announcement of the contem plated legislation coming so soon afterwards has disturbed the companies not a littlo
The Ambition of the Boars.
On the 56th August, the futurday Reviews said-Most of those in England. Least favourably inclined to the Boers have been content to bolove that their boldest ideals would be attained if they were allow. od to retain their grip on the Transvaal and exploit their own subjects to the full Facts point to a much wider-reaching and more dangerous ambitián.
