Strict and special investigation has elicited the follow- Ing facts: This individual, together with eight companiams, `arrived at Hanlie without, any passports or other vouchers of their identity and respectability and took up their lodging on the premises beloxglog to their firm at that place. It should be mentioned that since the recent treables, in the interest of, and for the protection of the Chinese, qello as much as of their defen« ders, it has been ordered by the Head Govern ment that passes er descriptions of the holders should be issued to all wishing to travel in the disturbed districts, over which sentries and pickets are necessarily posted.

We are glad to see by the October number, which reached na yesterday, that our bialny, well read, and carefully edited Shaoghal contem posery The Rattle in milli rattling along and ever improving both as regards the cartoons and letter-press. We are also glad to leam that there is a brisk demand for it at Shangbai nad at the corst ports (is there should be in vlaw of ils many merits), for so long as it is a success financially we may sest asumed that the talented members of its staff will not grow weary of weil doing, bat, on the contrary, will be encouraged to keep goleg and do their almost to retain the popularity which the'g' Initial efforts so justly won for their journal,] There are some capital akits, some excellent "picture" of Shanghal celebrities-Tripp Ashley, Toeg, Gove, “Josser " and " Gotle " arc all fa fi—and three very up-to-date anlcles that are bound to faterest Hongkongtes. But we miss from this number the "Turf Celebrites" colums which was an attractive and highly credliable feature of its precursors. The Novem- ber number will, however, doubtless be especially attractive to "sports," for the great race meeting to be held on the and, 3rd and 4th prox. cannot |'fall to come under the 'nolics of the Editor and his scouts, whose comments on the maces may afford the average reader more amusement than the races 'themselves, amusing and exciting as they undoubtedly will be, despite the withdrawal of the staving Standard, (he ruthless invader, bannie Straightforward and bright flute Gold The time has certainly arrived for the question Daf.

THE KOWLOON RANGES.
•AN UNSATISFACTORY STATE OF AFFAIRS,
ope,
The danger does not only lie behind the ranges. but in front of them as well, as the road from Yau-ma- to Hung-ham crosses the line of fire and, although the danger flag is displayed and a sentry posted, it is a well-known fact that the Chinese prefer to cross the range to taking the longer road at the back or front of the range, as the case may be. Again, the danger flag la frequently placed on the Association Range when no firing is going on, and consequently the Chizess grow to disregard the flag to some extent and are able do so once too often. Besides this, the road in a busy one and the traffic is Interrupted to a great extent, which is felt much more now than formerly, when there were only two ranges open and the amount of frieg was small as compared with the present these. Now, Due can safely try that from October to May firing takes place dally, and consequently the road is rendered queless.
The danger of locchets in enhanced by the conformation of the ground, which slopes up towards the targets, thus increasing the chance of men firlag low and striking the ground some distance in front of the target when the ballet would take a direction that it is impossible to delermine, and probably kill some luckless Chinaman worklog in Yau-ma-ll or the gardens atibe back of the range. This danger could be obriated, to some extent, by ralilag the firing stations, but even then, with the new rifle, there I always the possibilliy of an accident, when the fact is taken into consideration that the greatest dinance fired at is only aloe hundred yards and
the rifle carries something like two miler,
It will doubtless be argued that the expense of forming new ranges will be great, but expense is no excute when life is endangered, and should some European or a well-to-do Chidaman be hit this fact would be brought forcibly bome to the suthorities to the amount of damages demanded. Another busy road that is threatened by this danger is the one leading from Yin-mal to Kowloon City, along which there is constantly stream of traffic, and a glance at the map will show that the road is not only in the line of fire but well within targo,
Kowloon is now growing to juch an extent that it will be difficult. If not impossible, to choose another range in British territory. There is, however, plenty of sultable ground an the other side of the barrier, and we hope that the want of a range will act as so inducement to the Government to obtain the cession of the fand at the back of Kowloon, so as to take In the line of hills, which, in these days of long Tange guns, would prove the ruin of Hongkong If taken possession of by a hostile force in the

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
LOND^N, September aand. The Members and Associates of the British
Asociation resumed work at Liverpool yesterday morning to all the sccions. In the ceremic action a letter was eend fross Mr. Courtney, from Germany, stating that her husband's eye sight was improving, but only very slowly. His general state was far better, and he could now read an occasional big ward on a shop front, but whether more power of sight would return she did not know. The professor who was trending him hardly thought that effective reading, as ho called it, would come. Mr. Courtney desired to express bis Interest in the proceedings of the Section.
DEALING IN "FUTURES."
This subject scrupled the attention of the Economic Science Section. Mr. Eiljah Helm described the origin and purpose of desiloge in latures in the commercial markets. It con- litated a method of insurance to producers and distributors against the risks of flucida- ting" prices, for the system bad accentuated the fall of prices of commedilies within the last 20 years. Its development had been assisted by the telegraph and telephons, and it could be differentiated from pute gambling. He maintained that the system, properly organised and controlled, was, on the whole, economically beneficial, and that the demand for its legislative suppression was not justified.
Mr. E. H. Rathbone, in deailag especially with Tendencies," aald that as long as mankind the subject of "Grata Fatures-ikelr Effects and retained an inherent insatiable passion for speculation he could imagine no cheaper means of distribution than that in which option trading played so important a part. The introduction of the system during the last 10 years in the grain trade bad increased the tendency already operation to reduce the margin of profit in distribution to a minimum. It was evident that this speculativa trading by thus seducing margins and by making large operations Iesa sky and dangcious was steadily concentrating the grain trade of England Into fewer and lewer hands. There were unmistakable signs that this concentration might eventually take the form of limited trusts or syndicates for the dis-
felbation of our breadstuffs. Ar long as England followed her Free Trade principles it was un- bikely that any such abuse of their power would be possible as we were familiar with in Protec tionist America.

Incidentally, one result of this trans-Pacific war (If it does amount to anything serious, as our American exchanges predici) will be that the American piece-goods trade to the Exst, especially in China, will bare still mere advantage over Lancashire.

When once the arrangements have been made the Kings are caught in spring-trap, and nothing can free them. If the officials of the Palace at Vienna or Berlin were to be consulted, and were to speak freely of their master's engagements, it would, we believe, be found that their days were already mapped out for a month or two ahead. A sudden call for three free days in the middle of October would pra bably prove Impossible to answer. Of course the European Monarchs manage to secure plenty of time for pleasure and sport, but there are only sandwiched le, and are also mapped out beforehand.

Instead, ba agys, “I will arrange to shoot on Octo- ber 4. 5, and 6, and these days must be kept free for that" The King may, no doubt, get just as much pleasure out of his preamarged day's shooting, but the fact that he has to settle It all beforehand would seem to an Asiatic entirely to destroy the pleasure.
