-The V.R.C); lays promoted a boxing tourna mont which will take place in the Club's gymnasium on Saturday night. The main event will be fifteen three-minute rounds contest between Seaman Willis, the clever middle-weight from B.M.B. Astram, and Bands. man Willis, the champion-heavy-weight of the Buffs. The preliminaries include a six two- minute round fight between Drummer Bouchier and Lancs-Corporal Fincher, both of the Baffs, a battle of eight rounds, two minutes duration, between Kid Marriott, of the Naval Yard,. and Seeman Hayes, of the Tamar; and six two-minute rounds between Seaman Mustard, of the Bedford, and Sky Kerri son, of the Kent. It will be remembered that the latter pair provided one of the most interesting fights at Bill Lewis' Stadium on Chinese New Year's Day, so their battle at the V.R.C. on-Saturday night should prove well worth seeing.
UNIVERSITY FOR HANKOW
The following was published in several London papers on the 4th ait.:--
At Oxford and Cambridge towards the end of this month and the beginning of next import ant meetings will be held in support of the project for a University for China, and are to be followed by a meeting at the Mansion House, London, on March 16, at which it will be finally brought before the public. The scheme has already met with the strongest support. It's trustees include the Marquis of Salisbury, Sir Ernest Satow (formerly British Minister in Peking), and M. Runoinian, and it has the strong approval of the Archbishop of Cantor bury, Sir Robert Hart, and many others. It was started by certain prominent members of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, includ ing the two Vice-Chancellers and six Heada felt that something of Colleges, who onght to be done to help Chiga in its prosent educational crisis. After very widespread and thorough inquiry they con eladed that its greatest need was for a Uni- versity, which aloniá make it unnecessary for the Chinese to get Western education in other countries than their own. It should also give instruction in those subjects which form the higher sides of Western education, euch as political economy and philosophy, and should proserve all that is valuable in the native Chinese culture, literary, artistic, and ethical. To make such education really valuable instruc- tion must be girou in the Chinese language, and to make it thoient it would be necessary that the students should reside under discipline in residental colleges.
The final form which the soheme has taken is, then, that a University should be founded, consisting of
(1.) A Boutral staff of professors with adequate lecture institutions-libraries, laboratories, rooms, &o.
(II.) A number of affliated colleges, or halls, where students should reside.
The former (the Central Establishment) is what the scheme je intended to supply the latter (the residential institutions) are a matter for individual initiative on the part of foreigners und of the Chinese themselves; the University authori ties will only require disciplinary efficiency. The site chosen for the scheme as the result rf a journey undertaken by Lord William and Lady Florence Cecil, at the request of the Oxford and Cambridge Committee, is Hankow. In this con tre of the railway and river communications of China the project mot with the warmest welcome from all thero who are bringing education up to a University standard; and if planted there would have the greatest possible range of influenco and utility. The title of the scheme (whioli was originally known as the Oxford and Cambridge Scheme) has been altered owing to the desire of members of other Universitial to take part, and strong committees are to be formed to support it.

DISCOVERIES AT LU-LAN.
Mr. Zuicho left Turian on January 5, 1909, and reached Luria, vis Karashahr, on February 21. Here he was on ground explored by Dr. Stein, and he examined some big cave temples and a ruined fort. At Korla the party divided, one section making for Kashgar direct. The main body travelled south-eastward to the Uppor Tarim River, orcasing the Tarim desert and reaching Lop-Ner on Marok 11. From this base the explorer made an excursion to the north-east, taking 13 camels laden with water, native board, and other supplies. The objective was Lu-lan, and thero excavations were made. Among the Chinese MSS. found in this place was, 308 which, though undated, cannot be later than the second century of our ora, and which may be earlier.

Mr. Zaiche passed through Karin Khotan, halted a week there, and then made for Kushgar, which was reached on July 6. Here the party which had taken the northern trade route from Karla wis met.

WEATHER EEFORT.
the total dodlared,valne of foreign imported at Tairen (Dalay) was 24 million yes (£2,400,000), out of which aggregate the goods, paying duty for admission to the leaving no less than 18 millions (£1,800,000) interier represented only six millions (£600,000), worth which escaped duty.
BEPLY TO THE CHARGES. To this the reply is that all goods required.
are conventionally exempted from duties of for the use of the South Manchurian Railway every kind, and the goods falling under that category in 1908 amounted to over nino millions. Making this deduction, the final result is that merchandise. representing nearly nine million into the interior of Manchuria by Japanese- Feu (900,000) seems to have been smuggled importers. It is contended that this was done with the connivance of the Japanese authorities, to the serious disadvantage of the trade of other nationalities. But there are still two correc
tions to be ande. One is that all imports of the nature of supplies for the railway guarda are duty fros; the other, that a ainullar tion is enjoyed by goods for consumption the leased territory of Kwangtung Under the former heading there is found a total of 34
millions, but as to the quantity belonging fairly to the latter class, it is impossible to speak with any certainty. The Japanese inhabitants of the leased territory are peculiarly situated. They are not in sny, son self-supplying and they are engaged in starting various enterprises which demand large purchases of materials and machings from overses countries, Their needs cannot properly be gauged by the standard applicable in Japan proper. Making this analysis, the Japanese Press concludes that the Customs returnedo not afford any valid evidence of improper evasions, or, above all, of unfair attempts on the part of the Japanese Cloveru- ment to facilitate fraudulent discrimination.
OTHER ACCUSATIONS. There remaia two other charges to be dis cussed. One is that the South Mancheria Railway grants special rates in favour of Japan- ese goods. This is emphatically denied, but it is conjectured that the misapprehension may "have arisen. from the fact that a discount is
