MEDALS IN THE SHANGHAI
POLICE FORCE,
At the recent police parade which was held at the desire of H.R. H. Prince Henry of Prussia says the N. C. D. Mzur, favourable comment, was made on the number of medals that adorned the breasts of the force, and a list of them may be of interest. Most of the decorations are worn by the Sikhs owing to so many of them having taken part in numerous Indian frontier wars. First dealing with those worn by the Europeans, heading the list we have Capt. Pattisson with the Zulu war medal, then inspector Collins with the Indian Frontier medal, with Burma 1885-7 and Haraza 1891 clasps, also the Royal Humane Society's Special medal with two clasps for life saving. Sergeant Madsen, the only foreigner in the force who has a decoration for local services, possesses the German Humane Society' medal for saving a man from drowning. Amongst the Sikhs there are no fewer than twenty-three souvenirs of active service, the most fanious of which is probably the star given for making under Lord Roberts the world-renowned march from Cabul to Kandahar in 1880. This is worn by two sergeants Nos. 80 and 61, who also pussess the Afghan medal. Two constables, Nos. 176 and 143 have the Chitral medal and seven others Nos. 103, 132, 104, 85, 165, 77 and 94 are decorated for the Waziristan Campaign of 1894.5, one of whom, No. 132, has the Samana (1891) medal, whilst three, Nos, 182, 203, and 6 have the Hazara medal. Constable 67 holds the Egyptian medal, the Khedive's star and the Burma medal for service in the year 1885-7, and 1889 and 1891 and No. 6o for 18875.
KANG YĨ AT SHANGHAI..
Kang Yi, the Empress Dowager's High Commissioner to collect funds, arrived in Shanghai from Canton in the China Merchants steamier Kwangles on Sunday week and was -met-at-the-Kinlanyuen wharves by all the focal civil and military mandarins, who tendered the hospitality of the city by inviting the Com missioner to make his quarters at Ambassador's, Hall, North Honan Road. Kang Yi, however, declined the invitation, clecting to stay in one of the Chinese hotels on the ground that he was unwilling to put the Shanghai officials to any expense.

VISIT OF THE AMERICAN MINISTER, The latter arrived in the Afonocacy on Tues- day, the 25th of October. On Wednesday he called on the Viceroy with whom he had some conversation about the Hankow-Canton Rail way. On Thursday he visited the Iron Works and Arsenal at Hayang, and in the afternoon drove out to the Wuchang pagoda, with the Captain of the Monocacy, the U.S. Consul, and other friends. On Friday he paid a second visit to the Viceroy and the next day returned to Kiukiang, Whilst there he intends to visit Kuling and it is generally hoped the visit may -help towards the desired extention of the

FIRES.
As at this time, last year, there have been a few serious fires, though happily neither so senous nor frequent as those we witnessed then. In Wachang the people have, however, subscribed as they did twelve months ago to hina: special night watchmen for the sole pur of. preventing incendiarism. A very strange fire took place near the Viceroy's Chinese Collège a month or so ago. The channel between two lotus ponds was crossed by what we always looked upon as a stone bridge. On one of those nights when the Chinese are more than usually devout in burn ing cash paper to supply the shades of their ancestors with ghostly coin, a large quantity of paper was burnt on the bridge. Whether the spirits thought it a suitable opportunity to procure a bridge as wall as money or whether the stone bridge proved to be merely a wooden one paved over, we leave to others to say, but the fact remains that the bridge was burnt and In place of a good broad path which 'ricshas' could traverse there remain only a few charred beams and some uneven stones on the top of them.
THE ORASS-CLOTH MILL.
The new grass cloth mill that the Viceroy is building is rapidly wearing completion. What looks like a good foreign house is already built and the roof on the mill will soon be tiled. The carriage roads we regretto say are becoming very rough and no efforts are being made to repair them.The heavy wheel-barrows with their knife-like wheels plough them up in a shocking mauder.
on it a large semi-foreign house for himself and his wives. During the Japanese war Sung fell into disgrace and the house was rented. A big fire took place and in a few hours the new house was a ruin. Last year the Viceroy talked of widening the streets and removing the small hucksters from the roads and making them carry on their trade in markets or public count- yards. Sung's plot one of several others selected as suitable sites for such markets. Sung was dead but his son agreed to sell the plot to the Viceroy. Just about that time came the coup at Peking, and the Viceroy, for the time, became a Conservative and nothing more was said about markets. In consequence nine of the plais referred to have been purchased by the government and young Sung looked out for another purchaser. This he found in the Wesleyan Missionary Society, but before he sold, he made repeated attempts to ascertain if the Vicemy were still willing to purchase. As he could obtain no reply the hint was sold to the W.M.S. In the ordinary course the deeds were sent to the incal magistrate 10 be sealed. There they remained for about three or four months, then and only then when pressure was brought to hasten the was made that the sealing, the land was needed by the Government.

to be a Rowland for the Masanpho Oliver. It must be confessed that, whatever be the real issue of all these territorial manceuvres, they diverted a great many readers. It is reported to the Fiji Shimpo by telegraph from Peking, under date of the 5th instant, that out of the five conditions formulated by Japan in connee- tion with the Amoy outrage, four have been accepted by China, but the discussion of the fifth is postponed pending the arrival of Baron Nishi in Peking. This unsettled point relates to the punishment of the local officials who are supposed to have been responsible for fallure to control the rioters.
A PROPOSED GERMAN-AMERICAN
ALLIANCE.
Rear Admiral Valois recently published a book entitled "Seekraft, Seegeltung, Secher reschaft," which is attracting great attention in political, military and naval circles. It contains a powerful argument that the United States, as a leading colonial and exporting power, will necessarily become a keener competitor of England, and that it is the interest of both the United States and Germany to join hands in curtailing Great Britain's sea and colonial power. The writer strongly advises a naval alliance between the United Statesand Germany on other grounds and considers the possibility of Holland and France joining the United States and Germany in colonial matters, Lieutenant Commander William II. Bechler, United States naval attaché in Berlin, Vienna, and Rome, who has sent a partial translation of the book to Washington, considers it the strongest exposi ion-of-naval-policy and the most important naval work that has appeared for years.

THE WAR
when he was entertained at a banquet at the Hotel Metropole,. This was during the second week of December, 1890, and the chairman of the evening was Sir Donald Currie, M.P. It is interesting to note that Mr. Alfred Beit was one of the committee er the occasion in
ques tion, and that the guests included Sir Gordon Sprigg and the then Attorney General, Sir Richard-Webster. In-proposing the dead! the guest of the evening, the chairman said: "There should not be; so far as England is concerned, any chance of a conflict with the people of the Transvaal." These sentiments quite a long speech in reply, and apologised were loudly cheered. General Joubert made not being able to speak the English language properly."
-News about the war is anxiously looked for- ward to. We hear that special telegrams are sent to the Viceroy every day. The disasters at Ladysmith may perhaps make him bolder in refusing justice to Englishmen.-A. C. D. News Cor.
NANKING,
November roth.
THE M. E. CHURCH.
The thirty-third annual meeting of the Cen- tral China Mission of the Methodist Episcopul Church convened at Narking, in formal session,
on Monday, the 6th of November. The pre. ceding day was included in the session, although the meeting had not yet organised. Bishop Earl Cranston who presided at all of the sessions preached on the Sabbath both to Chinese and English audiences, as well as ordaining two of the members, the Rev. H. F. Rowe and Rev. Su Tsun-chen, the former as a deacon, the latter as an elder in the Church.
The reports from the field were, in general, suggestive of hard work on the part of both the foreign and nalive brethren.. In some parts unusual difficulties have been encountered, the missionary in charge. The fields showing while in others everything has seemed to favour the greatest advancement this year are situated in two different parts of the Mission, one in and around the capital of Kiangsi province, Nanchangfu; the other at Hochou, north of the river, about forty miles north-west of Nan- king. In both of these places the increase has been comparatively large, and the advancement towards self-support has been equally great.
The Rev. M. C. Wilcox from Foochow, with several of the native pastors from that district, and also the Rev. Spencer Lewis, the superin tendent of the Methodist Mission in West China, were present and addressed the Meet ing.,
There were but few changes in appointment, the principal ones being; the Rev. James Jack son from Kluklang to Walu as Presiding Elder: the Rev, H. F. Rowe from Wuhu to Nanchang fu; and the Rev. J. F. Newman from Wulu to Kiukiang,
Another change of importance to the mission was the establishing of five Presiding Elder districts instead of three, as follows; Chiakiang district, with Edward S. Little in charge; Nan- king with Dr. Geo. A. Stuart, Wuhu, with Jas, Jackson Kiukiang with R. E. Mnclean and Nanchangfa, with D. W. Michpis. This is a Change that has been needed for some time, for the districts have been entirely too large for any one man to effectually work.
Bishop Cranston goes from us with the hear fest thanks for the pains he has taken, and with the best wishes of all those with whom he has been associated in Central China.-M. C.

DELAGOA BAY.
A cable to the Sun from Paris says the Mafin states that Portugal concluded a secret treaty with Great Britain three weeks ago by which the British Government is allowed to land troops at Dalagoa bay and utilize the Portuguese railways for the invasion of the Transvaal if necessary. At the same time event of England's exercising this right, Ger. England agreed with Germany that in the many should receive compensation in the shape of Angola, and a free hand in Persia should be accorded Russia. As usual, the Matin says, France is left out in the cold.

AN EMPHÂTIC STATEMENT FROM THE
BECRETARY OF STATE. COLUMBUS (Ohio) September 12th, In a letter to Chairman Dick, of the Ro publican State Executive Committee, Hon. John Hay, Secretary of State, makes. this emphatic statement regarding the alleged secret Alliance between England and the United States:-
"There is no alliance with England, nor with any other Power under heaven, except thise known and published to the world, the treaties of ordinary international friendship for purpose of business and commerce. No treaty other than these exists; none has been suggested on either side: noue is in contemplatium. . It h never entered into the mind of the Uraldent nor of any member of the Goverment to f

According to a communication from St. Petersburg, the construction of the Siberian List of Registered Covers in Poste Restante. Railway has at present arrived at the following stage-Traffic has already begun on the Transbaikal line, starting from the town of Sryetenak for a distance of 557 kilometres. In addition, 106 kilometres of rails have been laid between Missovoi and the river Selenga. There still remains a distance of 400 versts to be covered by railway, and it is hoped to accomp. fish this by next December. One can now go from St. Petersburg to Wladivostok by the summer route in twenty-seven days, but this journey will be shortened by five or seven days when the construction of the Transbaikal line is completed. The route will then be sub divided as follows-From St. Petersburg to Irkutsk ten days, from Irkutsk to Sryetensk Iwo days, from Sryetensk to Khabarovsk (by water) six days, and thance to Wiadiwostok two days, or twenty days altogether.
