When he came back from his private audience with the Emperor's magical commands ringing still in his ears, he gathered his household and his rolatione, made a speech, as if he was addressing a nation, the preliminary canter of an im patient race-horse.

FUTURE OF WEIHAIWEI.

Naval Hospital.
Weihaiwei, in the Chineso province of Shantung, was one of Lord Salisbury's blazing indiscretions. It was leased, to-

Britain by a convention with the Chinese
dated July 1, 1898, one of the Government, conditions being that this country should be loses only so long as Russia romained in possession of Port Arthur.
Strategically
and commercially it is of no use to this country, but many thousands of pounds have been spent upon it in the making of roads and in the orection of futile fortifica- tions,
Seen by a reporter with reference to his question in the House of Commons, Mr Henry Norman anidf;—
Weihaiwei, as will probably be remem. hered, was originally scoured by the British Government as a reply to the leasing of Port Arthur by the Russian". As a matte of political fact, Weib iwei was secured more to silence criticism in Parliament than for any other rensun
Naval exports did not desire it, and it was finally turned into a species of health resort. In fact the money and time spent on it have been practically wasted
By the terms of the
loase of 298 i was only to be used by us so long as Russia should remain in occupa- tion of Port Arthur, The object of iny question was to find out whether that clause in the lease still holds good, or whether it has been modified in ay way by subse quent negotiations. We must take it, of course, from Earl Percy answer that
The nothing of the Bort has been done. situation is then that in the event of the Japanes capturing Port Arthur we have no longer any right whatever to remain in Weihaiwei. The hinterland of Weihaiwoi. I need hardly say, belongs to Germany."

unt, he said. Whoy the lease was affected Lord Charles Beresford and myself pointed out that the place was such a short jistupro from Port Arthur and had such a very wide entrance that it could not be defended. In fact, it is an imp ssible place to defend, unless a fleet is constantly there. Perped boats exn yet in and out of it easi ly. The Navy would not have the place and turned it over to the Army; the Army would not have it and hunded it to the Colonial Office It really consists only of naval hospital and a cricket ground. That is the only establishment we have here--the naval hospital."
'I do not see,' said Sir Charles, why what many he a temporary military occupa tion of Port Arthur by the Japanese should I should lead to us leaving Weihaiwei. imagine the proper procedure would be to wait for a tres y of perce, unless we are in a burry to get rid of the place. It is of no account strategically, but it might very well be retained as a naval hospital. We have naval hospitals in Turkish and Cretan ter ritory, and why not in Chinese territory 7
Will the fact that the hinterland is German territory load to any e mplications if we clear out? Sir Charles Dilke does not think so, and to emphasise the un importance of Weihaiwei except as a naval hospital, he explained that when Britai leased it a promise had to be given to Germany that we should not make rail. ways from it or develop it as a commercial port.
Mr T. Gibson Bowles was quite cryptic in his answer. 'I would dot say that Weihaiwel is a useless place at present. Many things are going to happen in the Far East, and I should not like to see Britain evacuate Wothaiwei. Why I should not like to see that done I cannot tell you Just now '--Er.

Tors, and being an in patient at a great London hospital for thirteen weeks, all without the slightest apparent benefit, Mrs Mary Owen, of Siren House, Towyn (Meri. onethsire) has been cured by Chas. Forde's Bile Beans. Here is her story:-
For many years I endured agony from biliousness, indigestion, and jaundice. My liver was completely out of order, and my strength failed at last completely.
My doctor then told me that I had gall- stones, and that a surgical oper tion was necessary if over I wished to get better. Well, I went into hospital for the operation," but they put me under special treatment instead of oper ting, and { bad to stay there for thirteen weeks. To my chagrin, I got no enefit, and I came from the hospital as bad as I went. All this time the pains in my chest, especially after taking any food, were terrible. The jaun- dice had increased alarmingly, and I was in ceaseless agony all over my right side with pain from my liver. The duct r who then attended me gave me injections of morphis, as the only means of giving me relief from pain. It was while I was under this treatmont that I passed two gal atones. In March last a gentleman whom I had known for some years told me that Chas: Forde's Bilö Beans had done him a lot of good. His enthusiasm lod me to try them. The first few doses made me feel a little better, and I determined to persevere. The improvement thus begun continued from day to day. I had not long boen taking Bile Beans before I began to hay good appetite. I grew stronger and fo the pains of indigestion less frequent, they ceased altogether.

He was a member of a nihilist organization and on him was devolved the work of put- ting M. de Plohve out of the way, for which task he had volunteered. The crime has aroused considerable apprehension in Russia. Measures are being taken to deal ruthlessly with the nihilist organizations.

BOXING.
Several Interesting Bouts. At the City Hall last night a series of boxing contests were fought in the pre. sence of a fairly large audience.
The preliminaries were six in number and were fairly entertaining, though as an exhibition of boxing they left something to be desired. In some instances the men wore fairly well matched and contested the rounds hotly, but most of the contests were too lengthy, being sot down as the best of eight or ten rounds, when half that number
would have been sufficient and would have enabled the contestants to make matters a little more lively.
Kynch and Blandford were first to strip. They indulged only in light sparring, and the decision was given in favour of Kynch, on points, at the end of ten rounds. Em merton (H.M.S. Eclipse) and Samuels, two light weights, the former the feather of the China Station, and

If a number of Chinese shops are willing to join in this method of light-
