On the 321st anniversary of the sxeontion of Mary Queen of Boots Mr. Theodore Napier Journeyed to Fotheringgay to pisce on the castle mound a wreath in memory of the Queen, It was in the form of a large Boottish Stunit crown of everlastings, with the legend in red letters "Maria D. G. Bag, Scotorum,” and on a white silk sash attached it was stated that it Was "Dadiosted to the Immortal Memory of Mary, Queen of Bosts, Dowager Quawa of France, de jure hereditarii Queen of England and Ireland, who, on this spot, was beheaded by order of har Boyal cousin Elisabeth on February 6, 1586-87." A long quotation from George Mackensie's "Highland Day Drants" was
also printed upon it, and it was insoribed.
Japan gains its point, cannot be expected in reason to be as judicial as we are trying to be. Still, let us listen to them. They were strong in the belief that the arms were destined for Chinese robela. Coming to probabilities, we may say that didst of us are of the same opinion. Macao does not offer a likely market for many guor. The China Gazette, a leader among those who in their eagerness to denounce Japan have From Royalists in Seatland, February 8, been so cheerfully taking facts for granted.188" Mr. Napier said he was one of the last says the consignee was "doubtless one of of the Jacobites, and he could trait, no one to the numerous agents of the malcontente in bring the wreath but himself, which explained South China," This is the least unreason. the fact that there was no wreath two years able of the many unreasonable assertions in ego, as he was in Tasmania. the China" Gazette's canning diatribe. We will even admit it is reasonable, and assume that the consignae did mean to pass these arms on to Chinese malcontents. Again reminding ourselves of the Portuguese pro- test, of the man's Macao Bidress, we than aak: Where does Japanese responsibility or culpability come in? Could the "Tatsu Maru" have gone alongside a Macao whürt, and there discharged her cargo, would the Chiness have had any ground of com plaint? It seems obvious, to us at least that the responsibility is Macao's, and we pour out that Portugal does not disclaim it. Indeed, Portugal admits it The caning plex that Japan is by high WATER handed methods proventing China from repressing lawlessness in her own territory therefore must be dismissed.

That brings us now to Japan's complaint.. If the arms were brought openly to Macao, and if they were being unloaded as near to the consignee as Macao's unfortunate har- bour disabilities permit, it does look as if the Chinese officers, with an eye to the reward (which is not at all improbable) had bean a bit too zealous and basty.

Today I find myself present in this school for British boys and girls, the only British one in Hongkong, always remembering of course the corresponding one at Kowloon, and though it comes last on my list I think you will agree with me it is one of the most Important in the Colony, the school which is devoted to the edaostion of the children of our own race and blood.
