JAPANESE RAILWAYS.
Interesting figures on the rapid development of Japanese railways have been recently given Following is the report for presentation to by a Berlin paper. Although only 26. years have elapsed since the first Japanese railway the shareholders at the eighth ordinary annunt inceting, to be held at the offices of the General--was built, and though the Japanese Govern
ment for many years treated railways as a' Managers, at 3pm. on Monday, the 16th
State monopoly, yet at the beginning of 1897 January, 1899-
The General Managers "beg to submit to the there were already 2,500 miles in opention, Sharehollors their Report on the working of and 3000 miles either being made, or else the Company, with a Statement of Accounts, 1869 miles of railway, in working condition, planned. Thirty-three-private companies have for the year ended 31st of December, 1898,
and are engaged in building 2,163 more miles. So far they have expended a sum of 160,420,000 yen (one yen equals about ab.), of which 87,730,000 yen is for railways completed. The sum expended on State railways is 48,980,000 yen. All the lines, except the Tokyo Yokohama fiue, are single ones. The companies Government gurantees private which build railways a dividend of four per cont. In the year 187 the number of per- suns carried on all railways was 65,110,000, and of goods 6,700,000 tons, or 153 per cent, and 107 per cent, respectively more than in 1891-2, The State lines possessed 183 locomotives, 796 carriages, and 2328 goods waggons; private companies 439,-1,470, and 6,540 of each respectively.
In the same way as in the previous year an Interim dividend at the rate of $650 per share was paid pn the 9th July out of the half-yearly fental from the Hongkongand Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company, Limited. The balance now at credit of Profit and Loss Account, in- cluding the balance of $348,21 from last year, amounts to $4,287.18. Alter providing for the final Dividend at the above rate, absorbing $30, there remains a small surplus $387.18, which it is recommended to carry forward to new Profit and Loss Account.
AUDITOR.
The accounts have been audited by Mr. F. Henderson, whose re-election is recommended.

MANILA'S BRITISH CONSUL.
Capt. S. H. Harford, the newly-appointed British Consuls at Manila, has a long service record. He entered the army in 1851, and served in the Crimea; he was present at the siege and assault of Sebastopol, and then served in the Indian Mutiny. He sold out in 1868. In 1875, he became Unpaid Vice-Consul at Sebastopol, resigned after 17 months' ser vice, but was re-appointed five years later to the same pust. In 1890, he was promoted to be Consul for the Canary Islands, to reside at Santa Cruz, Tenerife. He was transferred as Consul to New Caledonia in April, 1895.
SIAM'S LEGAL SYSTEM.
The young Skambse prince now in England has successfully passed an, English Law
Examination, and has, it is said, received an injunition from the King of Stam to pay close and watchful attention to the English legal system and to forward him an explicit report in reference to it. The King, it is stated, intends to put the Young Prince
in an important position in connection with the administration of the new legal machinery which he is about to call into exist-- ence in Siam. His purpose is to remove even the suspicion of corruption from the adminis gration of the law in his kingdom, and he believes that, in order to realise this, his wisest pian will be to follow the method of appoint ment in positions of judicial distinction pursued
in England. The Prince's studies will be con- tinued in England for aunther year or more.
MR. ASQUITH ON EGYPT.
The reconquest of the Soudan has been successfully and victoriously accomplished. The title of Egypt to the Upper Nile-a title the validity of which, in my opinion, does not in the least depend upon reconquest--has been asserted in the plainest and most direct fashion, and as events bave happily turned out it is now clear it there is no chance of its being successfully challenged. A situation has thus heen created which imposes upon us, as the agents and trustees of Egypt, an entirely new set of responsibilities. We hope indeed that a new market will be opened, not only for our own trade, but for the trade of the whole world. I am out myself so sangatine as some people appear to be as to the nipidity with which that market will develop, or as to the dimensions to which it may, ultimately attain. But however that may be we are face to face with the pro- blein of administering the vast territory, re- claimed after the lifetime of half a generation from one of the most desolating forms of bar, baris. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (cheers) the other day at Stirling very justly warned us against that pharisaical attitude which English people are supposed sometimes in their international relations to adopt, and which, if we may trust the candid testimony of our neighbors, is one of the primary and most preventive causes of English unpopularity Abroad
A PI AGUE COMMISSION AT BANGALORE
THE EFFECTS OF INOCULATION. The following is a resumé of some of the evidence taken by the Plague Commission which met at Bangalore on December 12th-
Captain Roe, Royal Engineers, Chief Plague Officer in the Cantonment, said he though that segregation had been a great failure. In his experience when a case was reported half the people of the house ran away, and by the time the medical officer reached the spot the house was usually quite abandoned. He was not person. ally aware that plague was spread by human agency, nor that dead rats preceded the appear ance of the descase. In regard to antiseptics used for disinfecting, witness mentioned pinceline as being one of the liquids employed, but the Commission were ignorant of its pro perties, and witness not being a medical man could not enlighten thera. He thought it quite possible for an inoculation certificate to be passed on to other persons after the death of the rightfel owner. He attributed the fear among natives of segregation to disinfection and loss of property; but with the altered policy as to segregation there was a perceptible im
But I think without any pharisaism' we may fairly claim that wherever our countrymen have brought a subject population undertheir rule they have striven to justify the power which comes from superior strength, not merely by develop ing the material resources of the country, but by bringing into the minds and into the lives of the people, not as phantoms of the imagination, but as solid, vivid realities, the pleas or order, justice, and humanity. Nor have we stopped there. We have striven, within the expanding limits which the safety and the integrity of our own rule permitted, to associate the people with us in the task of governing themselves. And to make them feel is more and more *surely should be the ideal, I will not say of a | Conquering, ban of a consolidating and civilising Power to make them feel more and moie, year after year, and generation after generation, that they are not inteely subjects but fellow citizens by adoption. What we have done by ourselves when the matter rested entirely with us, in India and elsewhere, that we ought to Bee Egypt alen du, so long and fat s we are responsible for her action. I do not think that any better work has ever been done by Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen, in
the waste places of the world, in restor
provement:
Major Deane, RAM.C. the nest witness, said that as to the means of communicating the disease, from his observations here and in Bombay, he had formed an kies they infection could be conveyed just the same as any other disease. He could not say infection could be conveyed one way more thas another. He could not say whether it was conveyed by mosquitos, ficas, rats, etc. People attending plague patients in hospitals might carry infec tion through their clothing, and he mentioned the fact of four ward servants in the hos pital under his charge here being attacked, ihree of whom died. They had all been in- oculated at Poona, but he did not know how long ago. Speaking of segregation, he said it had its drawbacks. He had seen cases of plague following upon inoculation. Since he took charge on November zoth, there had been 45 or jQ such cases; but he gave an instance of a family which was sent to hospital, one of whom was not inoculated, contracted plaque, and all the rest, who had been inoculated, escaped. He could not speak from personal experience about rats conveying the disease.
Colonel T, McCann, Principal Medical officer, Bangalore District, spoke as to plague. among the military followers, and detalled the
which con:
measures adopted to stamp of huts, disip- sisted chiefly in the evacuation fection and inoculation. The latter was very slow work at first, but when British, officers were openly operated un, the native troops followed largely. In the 2nd Madras Lan- cers a large number of second inocula tions had been carried out. There had been only one case among the European British troops, which had not been inoculated yer, because it was not considered necessary and had not been done elsewhere. Personally, he believed in inoculation as a preventive of plague. He had known of persons dying shortly after inoculation, and had concluded that they had plague in their system at the time of inoculation. Among the followers and their families the mortality had been smail, which he attributed to inselation combined with disinfection.

For the third time during the present year the Queen has paid a visit to the military hos pital at Netlog in her unfailing sympathy and solicitate for the soldiers who have been struck down by wounds or illness, in active service for the country. In February and May she went to see the anon who had returned inval ided from the dangers of the West Coast of Africa and the North-western frontier of Indin visited the hospital without ceremony or disala de Cuba... and on Saturday last she again graciously play to show her womanly solicitude for the ska de Luzon men who had been stricken down in the Sou-Amigo....... dan. The Sirdar was there to meet her, MA- jesty, and to assist her in the distribution of the medals to the hundred and eighty patients Yuensang entitled to them for the Atbara and Omdurman Swatow campaign, After pining medals on the breasts fonmouthshire of Stan-Sergeant Henson and Private Davidson Lvecocon of the Royal Army Medical Corps, the resigned

She then visited several of the wards, and Olympia spoke to some of the then who were unable to Kengbang parade with their comrades in the corridor, and in the Rontgen rays department allowed an impression of her hand to be taken. Even medals and proud consciousness of duty done are enhanced by kindly sysnachy, which is no less true and womanly because it is Royal.

In his speech at Blackburn Sir Edward Grey again made reference to our work in the Soudan. After praising the way in which Lord Kitchener had. combined cheapness and cfficiency in carrying out the campaign, and was so promptly endeavouring to follow up his success in war by a triumph of peace in the form of the esmblishment of a centre of educa tion at Khartoum, he went on to speak of our present position in Egypt. A striken field, as Lord Salisbury had well said, was a stage on the road of history. Our victory at Omdurman | IN had modified in a forward direction our position in the country. What, however, had for years pust been modifying our position there to a fard
greater extent were the inoral obligations which we had imposed upon ourselves by the great work we had accomplished. It was not, therefore, surprising that some imopportune attempts had been made to press an Lord Salisbury the policy of changing our position into a protecionite. These attempts Sir Edward thought inopportune, because we had a moral obligation to the Egyptian people to see that the, good work which we had done was not destroyed and arrested, but that its develop ment was continued. This kept us in Egypt, and would do so.
But we also owed this much to Europe, that we ought not, on our own initiative, to open the Egyptian question and thereby create disturbance amongst those European Powers by whose consent we had hilerin stayed in Egypt. If other people other Powers of Europe-chose to reopen the Egyptian question, then we must take our own lines, but if it was their desire that the stars quo in Egypt should be preserved, that the development of the country should go on without the Egyptian question being opened, then he was sure, we had no desire in his country to make use of what had happened to open a difficult question.

Colonel Dobson, I.M.S., Residency Surgeon, said the antiseptics used were perchloride of mercury, carbolic acid and Michougall's powder. He also used phenyle and pincnline. He prescribed perchloride of inercury one in 1,000 and one in 2,000, the perchloride being made up with salt. He did not hold himself responsible for the disinfectants used, because the District Magistrate interfered and appended his name to witness's list of instructions. He† noticed that plague ran a milder course among inoculated persons. He had had several plague cases develop in the Civil Hospital, of which he had charge. Very low who were admitted into the plague hospitals but did not suffer from plague. Among the menial establishment of North Camp Hospital, three ward servants were attacked, of whom we were inoculated, and all died. Thirty-eight in oculated patients were admitted up to date, 10 of whom had died. No special treatment by drugs served do any good, but among the cases at- tended to early, with proper nursing and nourish ment, the results were good. Four hospital assistants out of 62 were attacked with indigent plague, 3 were inoculated, 4 died. Of the ser vants obtained from Poona, who were all in oculated, one died. At the South Plague Camp the mortality was $5 per cent, the duration of illness two and a half days. None of his Hospital establishment were attacked. --- The patients admitted ware for the most part from the poor labouring classes, Witness was unable to explain the percentage of mortality.
It was in contact
really lower camps. than among people who had no contage. There was a definito rule as to floor spaco in hospital wards, each patient having 120 superficial feat. It was not half that in the plague hospital here.
