Baron Komura on the Negotia tions.

On the 8th inst., Baron Komura, the Mi- nister for Foreign Affairs, convened a meet- ing at his official residence of the representa. tives of all newspapers and news agencies in Tokyo, and in an address gave the following particulars of the course of the negotiations between Japan and Russia,

It being essential, said the Minister, for the peace and security of the Empire to maintain the independence and the integrity of the territory of Korea, and protect the great interests of the Empire in the peninsula, the Imperial Government cannot overlook in silence the action of any other country which would make the position of Korea insecure. Russia, despite her agree- ment with China and the assurances given to the Powers, still continues in the occupa tion of Manchuria, and has even resorted to aggressive action on the frontier of Koren. If Manchuria be left in its present position as an annexe of Russia, the main- tenance of Korea's independence is out of the question. The Imperial Government, therefore, at the outset desired without delay to make friendly arrangements with Russia in regard to the mutual interests of Russia and Japan in Manchuria and Korea -here the interests of the two countries come into direct contact--with a view to maintaining the permanent peace of the Orient.

With this in view the Imperial Govern. ment in July last cominunicated with the Russian Government, inviting its support

of this policy, and the Russian Government announced its willingness to endorse the proposal to enter upon negotiations for a settlement. On the 12th August last the Imperial Government, through Mr Kurino, the Japanese Minister at St. Petersburg. communicated the following as the basis of | the negotiations :—

(1). That an agreement be made he tween Japan and Russia to respect the independence and the territorial integrity of China and Korea.

(2) That an agreement be made between Japan and Russia to observe the principle

the principles she has repeatedly professed? Her refusal to insert this clause has caused the Imperial Government to appreciate its necessity more than ever. Japan has already great commercial interests in Manchuria, which have every prospect of future development, Politically this Empire has interests closely connected with Manchuria because of her relations with Koren, and it is impossible for Ja to exclude Manchuria from her sphere influence, Consequently the Government resolved to refuse decidedly and un- equivocally the Russian counter claim. ....

October last. After the Government had several times pressed Russis for her decision on the matter, a reply, after long delay, was received on the 11th December. In that raply Russia struck out all the proposalis relating to Manchuria and offered to negotiate on the Korean question only. insisting on her demand that Japan should, bind herself not to use any part of Korea for strategical purposes. She also pressed for the formation of a neutral zone in Korea as originally proposed.

The exclusion of Manchuria from the subject of the negotiations, áa desired by Russia, was of course quito inconsistent with the principle and policy of the Imperial Government, and with the spirit in which Japan entered upon the negotiations-her aspirations being to make friendly arrange. inents in regard to the interests of both Powers in Manchuria and Korea, and to remove those causes which might generate misunderstandings in the future. The Im- perial Government on the 21st December Inst requested Russia to reconsider her pro- posals, and once more pointed out that the restriction Russia proposed to put on Japan regarding the territory of Korea must be withdrawn if negotiations were to con-. tinue. The Japanese Government suggest. ed that the proposal to form a neutral zone be altogether struck out, if Russia did not agree to the zone proposed by Japan.

The reply to this Note came on the 6th Januuary, and in it Russia insisted that the creation of a neutral zone in Korea and the restrictions upon Japan in Korean territory should stand as first proposed by Russia. On this condition Russin agreed to include in the agreement a recognition of the rights and special pri- vileges (exclusive of foreign settlements) acquired by Japan and other Powers in Manchuria by treaty with China. Nothing was said regarding the integrity of Chinese territory. An assurance given without an agreement for the integrity of territory is praetically of no value, because treaty rights would vanish together with loss of Rovereignty. If Russian annexes Man. churis, all the rights and privileges

obtained by other Powers by virtue of treaties with China would necessarily disappear with the loss of Chinese sovereignty. The Imperial Governmónt doomed it necessary therefore to induce Russia by all means to agree to respect the territorial integrity of China. It was clear that the restriction put on the formation (in Manchuria) of foreign settlements is in con- flot with the Treaty of Commerce and Na- vigation signed between Japan and China, and the Imperial Government therefore struck out the clause proposed. As to the question of Korea, Japan's demand form. ed an irreducible minimum. The Imperial Government decided to stand firmly on the position taken up. On the 13th January Russia was once more requested to recon- sider her proposals. Since then a reply has been repeatedly asked for. Russia, how- ever, not only has not replied, but did not even appoint a date for reply,

The Imperial Government has always endeavoured to observe principles of justice and impartiality, and in the negotiations with Russia mado no demands of an ex- tortiouate nature, merely requesting the Russian Government to acknowledge a principle it has repeatedly and voluntarily proclaimed. Yet the Russian Government absolutely declined the request of the Im- porial Government, and, moreover, unduly delayed to reply, at the samo timestrenuous. ly pushing forward her preparations for war Bland and sea, and placing ou the Kron frontier a great force of troops. The Imperial Government is sincerely desiron- of maintaining peace, and has so far shown the utmost patience, but Russia's action has at last compelled the Imperial Govern- | ment to abandon the hope of any amicable solution of the question, to break off negotiations, and to break off diplomatic relations.

After the Minister's speech, which was listened to with close attention, ra- presentatives of foreign journals as well as Japanese being present, the press repre sentatives were entertained at dinner.-- Kobe Chronicle.

THE NEW AFRIKANDER.

All thinkers are agreed that the ultimate destiny of this continent is magnificent. They differ in opinion in respect of its transitory changes, not its tinal form. That the uten and British elements here will eventually merge into one virile race, strengthened by streams of blood from the most energetic races of other conntries, may be confidently predicted; and the afrikander of the future should be-nay, it is) safe to say will boa grand specimen of the!

genus man.

The world has reen with admiration, not anmixed with dismay, the marvellous energy evolved by the fusion of races in America. Here, in South Africa, in the years to come, we shall witness the same thing repeated on a vastly larger scale, with the added advantage of the experience of the Americans to guide us, whose errors we hope to avoid while striving to repeat their success.

At the close of their long and devastating war, the Americans awoke to the grand pos sibilities of their country, and proceeded to develop them with admirable skill and industry. But even the best of virtues have their darker side, and their feverish haste to achieve material success the Americans denied themselves time for eating; with the result that they became a nation of dyspeptics, a fact which has cost them antold misery and countless dollars. The evil is better understood and more generally avoided by Americans now; and besides, their scientific reserch has provided an antidote in Mather Seigel's Curative Syrup.

That our people for years past have been subject to the same sort of danger, the ex- perience of Mr A. Douet, of Clarendon Crescent, Richmond Hill, Port Elizabeth, will prove. Writing on the 19th September, 1903, to Messrs A. J. White (Colonial) Ltd., corner of Princes and Diesel Streets, Port Elizabeth, Cpe Colony (proprietors in South Africs of Mother Seigel's

•Twenty- Curative Syrup), Mr Donet says: five years ago, when I was a young man, I had a vory serious illness. My liver was sluggish, and I suffereal from acute indigestion. For Jays together I was formented by excruciating pains all over my body, but more particularly in my stomach, shoulders, and back. Sometimes the symptoms world chango, and I would almost faint or fall asleep oven when walking outdoors. My legs seemed to give way, and I felt that they were too weak to support me. In this way I suffered for many months. Doctor after doctor attended me, but not one of them socmed to know what was the matter, and it is certain that I derived no benefit from their medicines. At lost I began to think that I should never got relief in this world, when my father advised me to try Seigel's Syrup. It is a safe and certain remedy for much of the trouble you are suffering from, said he and if it does you no good, Ï don't think it can possibly make you worse than you are,I was now desperate, and being then anxious to try anything which might do-good- I obtained a bottle of the Syrup and began to take it. Its beneficial effect was almost im- mediately apparent, and after I had taken it for a week I felt considerably better. I oon- tinued to take the medicine, and by the time I had finished the second bottle I was quite well. Indigestion, giddiness, drowsiness, and paine alt disappeared, and I could find some pleasure in life again. From that day to this I have barn a firm believer in the curative power

of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and am careful nover

to be without a supply of it in my house; for

not only is it a sure care for indigestion, but as a regulator of the system and purifier of the blood it has no equal.

After war, depression; after depression, revival and progress. The outlook for our country is goodworthy of the great race now being evolved.

force in the Yellow Sea, and to that particular desire the complete and trust- worthy fitness of many of the warships sent out has been sacrificed;".

In this connection it may be also ob sorved that the Russian Fleet is still man- med on the old system of equipages, which are constituted more on a Military than a Naval basis... A Naval mobilisation brings together a scratch and more or less nondescript crew from various equipages as they exist on a peace footing. The ship'e company is composed of units unused to each other, and cannot, of course, be ex pected to work with the same -vase,- precision, and general cohesion as if they had been trained together. It is to be remembered, too, that Russian sexmon are mostly conscripts, whose training com- mences only when they are twenty or twenty-one years of ago. There can be no question about the excellent quality of the Russian material, but it lacks the great advantages of early training. The Japan- ose Navy, on the other hand, is recruited and trained on the British system, and its officers have a perfect knowledge of oceanic evolutions, which are practically unknown to the Russian Navy.

They have a gonius for putting the cart before the horse, and gen- erally seem to do things upside down.

Hongkong. Tides.

The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au- tomatio tide-recording machine in the_Wa- ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level.

To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table,
