One of the extraordinary measures adopted by the Japanese harbour authori- ties for preventing the introduction of disease into the country is of so filthy a nature that the diplomatic body in Tokyo would be justified in making a joint pro- test against it.

The NC. Daily News of Angust 26th
says:
Events in connection with M.31.S. Cordillere, ashore on the Tungsha Spit. have taken a sensational turn. The news to band on Wednesday evening indicated that the end of the vessel might not be far off, for it appeared that she had listed to auch an extent that recovery was almost out of the question.
News reaching Shanghai yesterday morning, however, contradicted this be lief. for after the lapse of some hours she righted herself under the influence of the tide, and her crew were again put on
board.
On Wednesday the waterblat Chipshui (Capt, Budgen) went out to the Tungsha Spit with 150 tons of water, for the Cordillere. While she was there the Cordillere, under the influence of a strong chib tide, took a list of 9 degrees to star board, and so serious did matters appear that the officers and crew were taken off. This was about six o'clock, and the vessel then had a list of 29 degrees. The offi cers and crew were transferred to the Alexandru, and there was nothing more to do but to await events.

THE JEWS IN SIBERIA. AMERICA AND JAPAN'S FRIENDLY INTERVENTION.
The recent rumour of massacres of the Jows at Urga by Baron Ungern and tho agitation to organize further., pogroms throughout Siberia created a sensation in Jewish circles, culminating in a pro- test meeting held locally under the auspices, of the Shanghai Jewish Com munal Association in June last. Tho editor of the Israel's Messenger, the local Zionist organ, having mado a appeal to Viscount Uchida, Japan's Minister for Foreign Affairs, to gira protection to life and property of the Jews in Siberia, has just received an acknowledgment of his letter through Mr. Yarasaki, the local Japanese Consal-General, informing him that the Japane Government has taken cogniz its authorities ace of his appeal and issued the neces
instructions to sary abroad to give every protection to the Jews in Siberia. It is noteworthy that a similar step has been taken by the State Department at Washington and statement to that effect was issued to the American Jewish Congress which made the representation to the latter,
