The first batch to leave Hongkong will go to Durban, whence they will be diatri-
buted to the various mines.
An Ordinance entitled 'Draft Ordinance to regulate the introduction into the Trans- vaal of Unskilled Non-European La- bourers' was passed by the Transvaal Legislative Council recently, which pro- vides for the appointment of a Su- perintendent, who is to be the Protector of Chinese, with Inspectors undor him, and defines their duties. All cases in 850 which importors or labourers have trans- gressed the Ordinance must be brought before a magistrate, and the magistrates represent the Government whoso great concern is the prosperity of the mines. No labourer can be introduced into, enter, or reside in the colony except under con- tract, and anyone introducing or employing a labourer without first obtaining a licence from the Lieut. Governor is to be liable to a penalty of £100 for every such labourer and the cost of repatriating the labouror. No labourer may be employed elsewhere in the Witwatersrand District, Every labourer must sign a contract, the provisions of which have been previously expained to him. This contract provides that the labourer shall be exclusively employed on unskilled labour in the Raud mines, and that he shall not be employed on any skilled Labour whatever ; that he shall only serve his importer or THE YANGTSZE INSURANCE ASSO some other licensed person to whom his

of practice is country that worth a ton of theory. Next let me con- gratulate you on your junior officers, who are very highly educated, who live for their profession, and are such models of discretion that if I were to ask them now if any Japan- ese troops had landed in Korea, they would reply that really they were not quite certain! Last and not least, I congratulate you on the mon. They are strong, intelligeut, and intensely patriotic. As far as I can judge they possess just those qualities of quickness, cleverness and initiative which the dispersion caused by modern ritle fire ronders so valuable. In thus proposing the health of the military forces of Japan. I have referred until now entirely to the Army, the reason being that a soldier finds it more easy to speak of what ho under- stands. Moreover the Navy is speaking for itself just now, as you can see in the special editions of the newspapers and even the list of the dishes on the menu card to- night. But I must not forget that we have at this table to night had the honour of din- ing with two specially distinguished naval fficers, Admiral Ijuin and Rear-Admiral Saito, and I hope they and all of you will understand that any goodwill I have ex- pressed to the Ariny was equally meant to apply to the sister service. I ask you now, gentlemen, to drink to the health of the Military and Naval Forces of Japau. I cannot publicly wish them success, for that would mean perhaps harm to other people. But I do say-may they never be do- feated!

The toast was acknowledged by Vice- Admiral Jjuin in a brief speech, in which
ho thanked the English General for the

[S.-C. DAILY NEWS SERVICE] THE SINKING OF THE KINSHIU MARU.
We are indebted to Major-General Dessino for the following telegram :-
PORT ARTHUR, April 28. According to a report received, the cruiser Rossi stopped near Gensan a Japanese military transport of nearly 4,000 tons. It was proposed to the men on board the transport to take them prisoners and that
they should come on board the cruiser. 65 military coolies, and 28 soldiers were Seventeen officers, 25 of the vessel's crow, taken on board the Rossia. The rest of the soldiers, about 200, refused to surren- der and ondeavoured to resist, and the transport was sank."
On board of the transport were found a considerable quantity of coal, munitions of war, and provisions.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Our allies nover doubted their periority to the Russians at sea, but, on land, the reputation of the Cossack cavalry and their own acknowledged weakness in that arm made it im | portant to win the first land fight to en- courage the troops. Men always fight well after they have seen the backs of their foes once or twice, and it matters little how this be accomplished. The skirmish at Chongju may have been intrinsically unimportant, but the moral weight of the result is consider able, Doubtless the Russians were outnumbered, but it is enough to con- demn them that they allowed them selves to be in a position where they were outnumbered, and the present small success, with the memory of gal lant achievements in Legation days, will have an excellent effect on Japan- esc enthusiasm in the field.

the news came through, and that opinion was voiced in many quarters.
The correspondents and many leading army and navy officers were present at A garden party at the Shiba Dotached Palace on the day the nows came through, and it- was surprising to hear so many genuine expressions of sympathy.
Much as the end of Makaroff meant to Japan there was not one officer who heard of his death but who was profoundly touch- ed, and there was no rejoicing at the vic- tory. It is the only success, in fact, that has not been the cause of congratulatory celebrations of some kind or other. Even
