Hard as the task may be, it is certain that upon the integrity of this line the whole chance of Russia's emerging from the preaeat war with even a shred of dignity or honour sololy and unarediately depends.

CHINESE LABOUR IN SOUTH

AFRICA,

A correspondent recantly wrote to the Duke of Marlborough pointing out the necessity of further police supervision in the Transvaal as this number of Chinose

labourera was increased, and drawing

attention to the report that the Chinese authorities at Wuchow had endeavoured to got criminals shipped to South Africa ns coolics. The Duke of Marlborough says in ^reply:—(1) There is no reason to fear that the Transvaal Government will be unable to exercise proper supervision over as many Chinese labouters as are allowed introduced into the colony. (2) The authori, ties are fully alive to the necessity of guard" ing against the emigration of ex-rebels from South China to the Transvaal, and ng a matter of fact, the mining companies have temporarily suspended the emigration of Labourers from South China,

Three Chester men, one of whom sørved with the Yeomancy in the Boor war, have their willingness to accept Mr expressed Robert Yorburgh's challenge to go out to South Africa and work in the mines along- sido Kaffire or Chinese labourors at white man's wages, for a period of six months, on condition that Mr Yerburgh paya their passage out and finds them employment. If the men coase work during the six months they uro to forfeit to Chester In. firmary the amount paid on their behalf by Mr Yerburgh. This is the outcome of Mr Yerburgh's statement at a recent political meeting, that white men were physically incapable of working in the mines under the same conditions as blacks or Chineso.

Mr Frederic Mackarness has addressed a letter to the Primate arging him to raiso his powerful voice, if not for the repeal, at least for the suspension, of the Transvaal Labour Ordinance until its abuses can be remedied or the frecly-elected represen tatives of the Transvaal poople can give their verdict upon it. In reply, the Archbishop anys:-

I need hardly tell with what interest and anxiety I have been endeavouring to follow the conflicting accounts which have hacn made public from unofficial sources about the working of the Chinese labour system in the Transvaal. I have been trying alsɔ by.. privato inquiry to ascertain what are the actual facts, and it seems to me that until we are in possession of accurate official in

Through Me A. R. Hassan, the Now York Life Insurance Company's Agency Director, of this city, wo have received in book form a copy of the 60th annual report of that institution which was published to the world on January 3rd of this year. The figures are undoubtedly a striking tribute for the investing public, of their confidence and security, of this great under- taking, which can certainly lay just claim to its title, the Great International Life Insurance Co.

On glancing through the list of figures, which gives at a glance the result of the year's work, Jan. 1st to Deo. 31st 1904, we are greatly impressed with the wonderful achievement attained, that of get ting out a report within three days, record- ing the business of a company which transacts business all over the earth. This must have involved an amount of previous arrangement and organisation, which would do credit to an Empire, and would win many a battle and determine the fate of a nation, with this difference, that the beat general in the world might arrange his plans, but his opponent might have some thing up his sleeve, as has happened on many a stricken field.
