The Interport Rifle Match is over and for the third time in the history of the match Hongkong takes third place, the previous ocensions being in 1884 and 1895. Hongkong, as my readers know, could only put togather 875. on Wednesday, 20 less than last year, although the sins of the team who took part in the practive shoot last Saturday totalled 837, an average of 93 a man. Hongkong only mado four scores between 99 and 100, while Mr. Stackwood wrewed absolutely off colour at every distance Mr. Parkes's 97 was a consistent exhibition, made up of 32 at 500, 32 at 500, and 33 at 600 yds. Hongkong has now wins, Shanghai 2, and Singapore 2, in 13 matokes, Shanghai's expectations of rendering a good account of itself against the Southern ports havís baen realised and the team is to be con gratulated upon a fine purtoriusuce.Thoir | provious win was in 1839, the first year of the competition. Singapore has added 9 points to its last year's total and Penang 60-a striking advance, which yet leaves them a long way

QUESTION.
[FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. {
Tokyo, ath November.
By the end of this month the Crown Prince of Sium will arrive here from America, a special envoy from the Siamese Court will arrive here from Bangkok in Sim's biggest war vrsel,” the Japanese Miuister from Bangkok will also arrive here; and there will probably be more talk of a matrimonial alliance between the royal houses of Siam and Japan, and of a rapprochement between the countries over which | tlos reyal houses rula. I should therefore like to give in the present paper some general ideas of Japan's attitude towards Siam so far as have been able to understand that attitude.
In the first place, I must say that there is no trail in the bulk about the matrimonial schemo just alluded to; and it may safely be insistel va that no Siamese Prince has any prospect of carrying off to Bangkok as his bride a daughter of the Mikado. King Chulalongkorn would probably like such an alliance very well, but I do
her own way. In the meantime we notice that THE GREATEST 16TH CENTURY Sism is engaged in or rather is being invelglod
PORTUGUESE. into anothertrouble of a more or less international character as some cuttings we give elsewh to would show. We cannot help doubting the | wisdom of harassing Sian with another cause of embarrassment at this moment, at least from the British sida,"
The latter allusion is of course to the alleged socupation of the Malay state of Kelantan by the British; and the boldness of it on the part of a somal-rficial.organ and in face of the Anglo. Japanese alliance is to be admired. These frank expressions seen to indiate that, however calm and pradent may b. the statesman who now away the destinies of Japati, tim populir imegination in this contry is not quite unid.
