This is by no means a wise or reasonable deliverance. We want a strong navy, bab the argument in favor of it is general. To 957 base it on Japan's development and ex- hibition of power is out of the question. That, in effect, would be to challenge country which is on terms of sincere friend- ship with us. Moreover, we wish her success in her present undertaking. Her complete triumph over aia will be more than agreeable to us.

we must have one too. It ia a question of being in the fashion and on the safe side.
And then, what authority is there for sscribing this inordinate ambition to Japan ? She did not bring on the war with Russia. She tried by every honorable means to Avoid it. If Russia had kept her promises to Japan and to the other powers about Manchuria there would have been to war, The present struggle, therefore, represents no exhibition of land hunger and conquest on Japan's part but only the praiseworthy spirit of solf preservation. Seeing that Russia was spreading out to her detriment and against a positive agreement on Bus, sin's part Japan, purely in self-defence, drew the sword: Why then should we su. spect. Japan of a purpose to play the part of a bad neighbor toward us as soon as she has settled her score with a had neighbor
of her own!
We did not have Japan in view when we went to the Philippines, and our purpose to remain is, of course, wholly without regard to her. Our policies are out own, and are our own, and are without intention- al unfriendliness toward any power. But there is probably no power which ex. periences more satisfaction in our presenc in the Philippines than Japan. She is one of our best friends, and has good reason to know that wherever our flag is planted improvement follows, and where there is improvement a progressive country like herself has occasion to rejoice,
Later, the Star ssid —
Representative. Hull claims to have been misquoted in the matter of Japan and the Philippines. In what he said he was indulging on in some general speculation. He did not allude to a sale of the islands to Japan at all, and with reference to force merely pointed out what Japan might attempt if the spirit of the conqueror seized her.

The Resolution says: This cannot be termed a scheme of insurance, for all schemes of insurance are based on the pre- sumption that the insured pay premiums. the aggregate of which suffices to meet the claims of those to whom payment has to be made on the death of the insured, It

MAIL STEAMER DEPARTURES.

The oportunity afforded by the publica- tion of these orders may, however, be taken to state that the Government are fully convinced of the advantages of in- oculation when carefully performed. The lecture given by the Director of the Plague Research Laboratory at the recent Bombay Exhibition, which contains particulars re- garding the preparation of vaccine and results of its use in simple language, has been published with their consent and widely distributed. It is now about to be

Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports, All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O. mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days
Facilities for performing inoculation will be arranged for wherever there is an indi- cation that they are desired. From the course of the epidemic during the past years there is every reason to fear that it will gain strength after two or three months in the Southern Districts and States of the Presi- dency, and a little later in the northern Deccan and Gujarat. The present, there- fore, is the time for action. If operations could be begun in time so that a consi- derable proportion of the inhabitants of the areas likely to be affected are made immune éven for a period of six months, the Go- vernment are convinced that thousands of lives might be saved. It remains for those who by their superior education are able to appreciate the evidence before them to exert their influence with the mora igno- rant of their fellow countrymen and induce them to take advantage of the means of protection which science has placed within their reach.
Lord Kitchener's Position.
A telegram from London, dated May 6, states that Mr Dalziel having enquired whether there was any official information. that Lord Kitchener was dissatisfied with the existing conditions attaching to his post, Mr Brodrick said that Army Administration in India had been the subject of corre spondence between the Home and Indian Governments. It was at present under the consideration of His Majesty's Govern- ment. He declined to lay Lord Kitchener's memorandum on the table because it was part of the correspondence. Mr MicNeill asked if Lord Kitchener had resigned. Mr
·Brodrick did not reply.

SERIOUS RESULTS OF LIVER COMPLAINT. BILE BEANS AGAIN CURE.
Nattack of liver complaint is often very far-reaching in its effects. Such irregularities as pimples and blotches on the face, discolouring of the skin, etc., are certain signs of liver disorder, and the only effectual way to remove these is by getting at the root of the trouble-the liver Bile Beans do this in the speediest, safest, and most economical manner, and are therefore, the only medicine to purchase. Read what Miss Alico Thomlinson, of 49, Eliza Apn Street, Manchester, England, says regard. ing her care by Bile Beans.
In consequence or liver disorders I' began to loathe my food. I became so weak that it was labour for me to stand up, and my face becarae disfigured with dark red spots as large as a sixpofice. I had no life in me; my blood seemed to have turn- ed into water, and the colour of my skin Indeed I was more was almost green. dead than alive.
Work was out of the question, and my face became so bad with the blotches that I was ashamed to go into the street. The languor was so over powering and the shortness of breath so distressing, that I thought the end must be very near. At this time Bile Beans were brought under my notice, and I sent for some, The first bottle did me good, so I bought a further supply. Slowly the disfigurement disap- peared, my appetite began to return, and my blood seemed to get richer. I par severed with the medicine, and steadily regained my strength, until now I am so well and hearty that I delight in my work. My recovery is solely die to Bile Beans, They have restored me when at death's door, and I shall never cease to be grateful to them for my cure.
Such is the nature of the testimonials daily being received by the proprio tors of Bile Beans. This great vegetable and scientific remedy is also a cure for indigestion, debility, biliousness, constipa- tion, piles, nervousness, andomis, female ailments, weakness, sleeplessnews lose of appetite, liver comp headache, fasul- ance, pimples, and ruptions.

The crow waded waist deep in the water to

The captain of the "Enterprise" is of opinion that a lumber vessel, bound for Australia, has been wrecked on the Chesterfields, and that all hands have been lost.

The only animal life on the island was half-a-dozen goats and a cat. The hut on Long Island was of course uninhabited, and whether the wreck had occurred on the island itself it is impossible to say.

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- tomatic 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 soa 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 Dook, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
