The Directors of the Wharf Company may have namerous excellent reasons for talaing their charges exclusively on steamers over 300 feet in length; but the decline In silver, amounting to about 33 par cent since Jane, 1891, is a very poor excuse for a ruin of over so per cent., after something like a promise that there should be noʻrize at all,”
The agents of the ocean liners in their protests state as follows:-
"In the first place the rates of Whariage for large steamers with foreign cargoes appear to be ‚ raised out of all proportion to other charges. -

I left Shanghai,” said Mrs. Blahop, "en the roth of January 'last for a journey in Szechnen. I travelled to Ichang by steamer and then by houseboat to Wanhalen, a distacct of about 300 miles and occupying three weeks. I only landed a few times for the purpose of taking a photograph or visiting a temple. Then I took an open chair-which is not seen in Szechuan, and was therefore the cause of some trouble-and started on a journey of 1,200 miles. The end of the first stage was Paonloglo, about 300 miles from Wanhsion. The first thing that Impressed me exceedingly was

Mr. Robinson thought that was the way the decisions made it out, and asked bis Lordship not to look at the case from a point of equity
but of law.
Mr. Pollock briefly opposed the demurrer, citing cases to show that an altempt to corrupt any offlers in the commission of his duty con- stfrated the offense of bribery.
The demurrer was over rated.
The prisoner than pleaded “ not galliy” and the following jury was empaneled:-Messra. J. Lawila, C. J. Gonzziven, A. J. da C. Rocke, J. M. da Rocha, J. Grimble, Í. C. do Rosario and M. A. A. Sousa,
Evidence for the prosecution which was fully reported in these columns on the and instant, was then heard.
After listening to the evidence for the prosecn- tion and defence, and the addresses of counsel, the jury retuned an unanimese verdict of "not guilty" and the prisoner was dischargal.

THE TIDAL WAVE AND ITS CAUSE.
Professor Kochibe expresses the opinion that the cause of the recent tidal wave is due to a fall of strats. Along the coast of Kamsishi, Miyake and Tehleak extending as far north as Chishims and Eturup, there is na enormous cavity in the ocean bed of about ron Japanese miles in width and 300 miles in length. The demh of this enormous hollow is from 3,000 to 4,655 | fathoms. The sides of this submarine carers are alment perpendicular, like a stone wall There is not much doubt that it was the dislodge mant of this strata, one of the sides of those glast declivities in the ocean bed, which gave rise to the tidal wave. The same explanation may be offered for the seismic vibrations that occurred in the neighbourhood.--Kobe Herald.
