THE RUSSO-JAPANESE TREATY,
We are indebted to the Japan Advertiser İst which has been concluded between Japan and the following translation of a special tresly Russia (as an addition to the treaty of Commerce and Navigation proper,) and the protocol thereto kitsched --
Art, I.—It is #greed by the contracting parties that, in view of the fact that the commercial relations between Sweden and Norway, and the countries adjoining the frontier of Asiatic Russia and Russia, are governed by special Regulations controlling the frontier trade, which regulations are quite independent of these applicable to the general foreign trade of Russis, therefore the special stipulations contained in the treaty concluded in 1838 between Russia and Sweden and Norway and the stipulations relating to the trade with countries on the frontler of Asiatic Russla, cannot under any circumstances be quoted as grounds for altering the terms of commerce and navigallon agreed upon by the two contracting pariles.
Art, II.-It is understood by the understraed that the undermentioned exemptions from duty, immanities and other privileges aball not be considered as detrimental to the working of the reciprocal principies of the principal Treaty between the two countrier. '
On the part of Japan :-the patents on various articles which the Japanese Government may enjoy in fature.
On the part of Rutin :--

that there are large markets in that vast con- daeat which hold eat encouraging prospects to British merchants-markets badly needed for the expansion of our commerce. Of late the English *dallles,' and some ‘monthises" too, have been devoting ■ good deal of time and space to African affairs, of which the execution of Stokes and the offensive meddlesomeness of Belgian and Boar magnaten appear to be 'the'
Certain it is, however, that what main causes. aver the cause the British Government and many of the leading merchants på London are vincing more interest in Africa than for a very long time past and it therefore behoves us to take some nolice, however/briel, of what is transpiring in that far-distant region, for there is no knowing what the monow may bring forth in this age of surprises and rapid progress. In the first place, then, let us see what the Mail and Express has to say about
THE EXECUTION OF STOKES.

With regard to the statement that Captain Lothaire, who succeeded Baron Dnanis in the commend of the Belgian forces on the Uppe Congo, wza about to make an immediate advance on the Dervishes, Rewer's Agency learns that the statement is absolutely untrue, and thai ike position of the Belgian troops is as follows † Ã÷- Cordlog to the la'est advices, Captain Luthaire, young Belgian under so years of agu, whose beadquaters are at Stanley Falls, and who, therefore, is never likely to come into collision with the Mehdits, is simply exploring the district between ble headquarters and Lake Albert Edward and it was in this district, while on the Iturl River, that he hanged the British trade Stoks.

In houses, You can easily judge this by taking a walk along the New Matkat on Queen's Road of an evening and comparing Wing Nam's cigar store with the Ching Wo Tong medicine shop, (corner of Cochrane Street and Queen's Road). According to the concessions offered to new consumers by the Company lately, I think it an inducement for giving it a trial.
Itiss great pity that the price of gas is so high as compared with the prion in Shanghai, and it the Company could reduce the price say is $2, or $2.50 per 1,000 cubic feet, there can be a doubt but that it would secure many more Chinese
consumers. The present is a good time for the Company to make the reduction, as kerosine is fetching stlillih prices in the market. Notwithstanding the exorbitant price the Company charges you will find that in a few days it will nevertheless have one or two new that with a reduction in cost the Chinese would consomers, which should show ibe Directorate gladly and to an enormous extțat use gas in preference to kerosine all
