countryman who
showed a natural inclination to callons brutality which ness but the most degraded of human brings would be capable of displaying. In tak ing this view of the oase we do not wish it for a momunt to be understood that we consider all the Chineas nahore on the occasion of the disturbance to have been equally guilty, nor all the Japanese equally innocent. In fact we believe that several Chinster ware killed and wounded who took no active part in the fray for which their murders the policeman and ran riot through the town were autirely responsible. As usual under such ciccasi stances me these, it will be difflealt, if not impos- sible, to courlot the ringleaders. All that the respective Governments can do will be to settle the present a fair in the best way they can, and in future endeavour to prevent the repetition of what ocrtainly can only further embitter the fealing against one another, without ad ling very much to the eredit of either. The matter has been fully reported to the Tokyo authorities, who have cidsred Mr. Kiyowars, of the Homa Di partment, Mr. Hatogams, of the Foreign Dapart ment, and Mr. Kawadu, of the Judicial Depart ment, to praened to Nagasaki to thoroughly investigate tho affair. The result of their in vestigations will bo submitted to a special com mission, prosidad ozor by Conat Ito. Three Chinesa Baials have also been despatched from the Tokyo Legation.

Afgkaa Commission is still ansarapod on the Oxis. The next will be su Anglo Chinese Commission, which must be appainted under the recantly concluded Con vantina with Poking to determine a pucka boundary between Okian and what is now the British Province of Upper Barmah. There may quite possibly be even more difficulty here then there has been in eetiling the line that stall divide Russian-Tarkayion from the Amser of Cabal's territory, because the fronti botwan Burmah and China has always been something extremely rare and undoned, owing to the wild nature of the tract of country lying between the nearest adjacent settled portious of each Kingdom, and the lawless character of the semi-savage tribes juhabiting it. Candid advice is already being offered to Govorament. ▲ correspondent, "who has a sloze personal know- ladge of the subject." insists strongly, in a letter addressed to the Pinteer, that England shal determine to confino the Chinese and their in- fluence to the eastern side of the meantica which constitata the eastward boundary of the Irrawaddy Valley. He declares the "the real Eateral and scientific frontier of North-Eastern Borah is the ninuntala chain which saparatos it from You and the Shan States,' and which is pierced only in four places by sararas routes, The Chinos are said to have laid alain to "an accession of torritory of the whole of the aft bank of the Irrawaddy from the country of the Khomofi Shane down to the Shwélé river, which falls into the Irrawaddy about 15 miles above Myadong the Shwelo rivar from its orlt from the Shan States to its junction with the Iren waddy forming the shihern boundary line. or, roughly speaking, som: 300 signerta miles of tar- ritory.
