* Gentlemen of the jury, it is a pity that a sickening flirtation between jurors and defox- dant in a criminal case has the power in this Court to lefeat the euls of justice." In thesa words, the New York Times reports, Judge Taylor, of the Circuit Court at St. Louis rebuked the jury who acquitted a charged with robbery.

The tramway question that has recently bean referred by the Kobo City Assembly to a Com- mittes is complicated by the fact that the Municipality is considering the question of municipal tramways for Kobo. The Hanjin Electric Railway, which is constructing a line from Osaka to Kobe, seeks for powers to pass through the Settlement in order to reach the American Hetoba from the enst, while those in
favour of the City tramways appear to think that the City limits ought to be kept free from the incursion of a private company. It seems probable, however, says the Kobe Chronicle, that the application of the Hanjio Railway will be approved in a modified farma.

OPE dear neighbours, the Americaų colonists of the Philippines, would appear (if their local journals afford any criteria to judge by) to be somewhat discouraged by the results of their efforts in those tropical islands. The Manila newspapers, which customarily snem about as antipathetic, each to other, as the most repellent of the atoms, agree in bewailing the general condition of Philippine prosperity. They have written that trade has gone from bad to worse; that the most that can be done is to serepe a precarious living from the platter of busi- ness; and they have published warnings meant to unclective such of their fellow countrymen in the States us might be under the impression that the U.S. insular colony is another El Dorado, Que of the last
