THE 8.5. "ELSE."
The German steamer Else was docked last Thursday, having had a series of accidents in North China waters. She left Chefoo on the 19th of January bound for Vladivostock with 360 tons of old iron. At the latter port, it appears, she sat down on a sunken
steam-launch, damaging three or four plates aft on the port side. Vladivostock was frozen-in for two days, when a steam ice. breaker cleared a passage, allowing the Elec to make an exit from the harbour.
She got under weigh--that was on the 27th of January-and, while clearing, it is alleged that the German steamer Stolberg, then entering Vladivostock, collided with her, resulting in considerable damage to the Else's bows. It is also said that at some time or another the Else fouled an iceberg. It has been found necessary to deal with nearly twenty plates. Some will be replaced, others repaired.

China's Business Methods and Policy. By 1. R. JIRNIGAN, Hongkong and Shanghai : Kelly & Walsh.
At some time or other, especially at the commeassment of his career in China, the commercial man must have experienced the need of a volume gising in a comprehensive manner an
account of the business methods which obtain among the Chinese, and Mr, Jernigan, who fer years held the post of Consul-general for the United States at Shanghai, bas, in writing och a volume, rendered a service for which many will doubtless be grateful to him. The old China hard" may not perhaps find in the look much that he does not already know about the administrative system, land tenure, sources of revenue, interior trade routes, the guilds, banks, the trend of commeres in Chine, and various other branches of the subject to which the author devotes separate chapters, but even for such readers the author's comments on the policy of China and the commercial rivalry of the Western nations in China cannot fail to possen some attraction. In addition to the subjects just enumerated, the book contains chapters on the judicial system of China, the Imperial Household, family law, the educational system, extraterritoriality, the Consolar system, and on missionaries. A special chapter is dercted to the administration of Shanghai. CHIU CHAN BI . TANG FAI WOON.
