INTERVIEW WITH BARON
SUYEMATSU.
Yellow Peril Bogey.
Baron Sujematsu, the Japanese states- min who has concluded a two years' educa- tional mission in Europe and is now return- ing to Japan, has given to a representative of Router his views on the outlook in the
Far East. After referring to the dissipation
of the prejudico with which Japan had long been regarded in Europe, Baron Guyematau said :—
"Although Japanese influence in Korea and China has apprecably increased, I do not believe that this will produce any political results to the same extent that some European politicians imagine. China cannot reform herself so quickly as Europe seems to think. There would be many Chinese who would try to assert rights to which they are properly entitled, but they will be confined to certain sections of the

She will get a certain number of troops modelled on the European style, who will be useful chiefly in the direction of doing internal police work. I do not see any prospect of China and Japan pursuing a common mis. sion in the Far East, because the condition and temper of the two peoples is go essentially different :

why Russo-Japanese relations should be

limit, it is the intention of neither party that it shall terminate at the period fixed.
"The fears expressed that the expansion of Japanese trade in the Far East will prejudice British and other merchants is in my opinion ill-founded. Japan is not in a position, even if she desired, to monopolise trade in China; on the contrary any com mercial action which may be taken by Japan will give added stimulus to the world's trade of the Far East."
CONSTIPATED FOR THREE YEARS. BILE BEANS EFFECT A CURE.
BILE
LE BEANS have once again demons- trated their superiority over medical
skill. An English lady, Mrs Ann Maria Jeffa, at Frankley, Worcester, suffered so severely froin constipation which doctors failed to relieve, that she was regarded as incurable. Bile Beans, however, succeeded where all other remedies had failed, and Mrs Jette once more enjoys the blessings of good health. Speaking of her sufferings and cure, she says:-
For three years I suffered acutely from constipation, which brought on lassitude, and over-powering drowsiness, At times the pains I experienced after taking food. were so bad that I actually fasted for three days to avoid them. I was always dull and heavy, and suffered from headaches and Awful depression. ---
A local doctor was consulted, but I obtained no results from his medicines, and continued to get worse. My condition oventually became so critical that my hus- band and friends thought my days were numbered.
Nothing would stay on my stomach- not even a drop of beef tea or a little boiled milk; and as no nourishment could be put in my system, I wasted away to a mere shadow.

ADDITION TO HONGKONG'S STATUARY.
Tribute to Sir Thomas Jackson,
I'reparations are being made for placing in position the statue of Sir Thomas Jaok. NOO which has been made to the order of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The statue is to stand on the bank's property facing Des Voeux Road and almost opposite to the Des Voeux Road entrance to the Bank. Already a fine polish- od granite pedestal is almost in position, on the front stone of which is the inscrip. tion "Sir Thomas Jackson. Knighted 1899, created a baronet 1902. Joined the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corpora-
tion 1866: appointed Chief Manager 1876; retired 1902." The statue is at present housed in the Kowloon godowns - but will see the light of day very shortly as it is to be placed in position before the arrival of Prince Arthur of Cannaught. The Prince, we believe, in to be invited to perform the unveiling ceremony.
