The memorialist acknow. ledges that there were a few who were loyal enough to refuse to join the enemy, and also some who were forced into joining having done all they could in their new capacity to ameliorate the condition of their fellow-countrymen when placed at the mercy of Foreign troops. But the majority of the students anti-some-of-their- teachers forgo; their duty to their country and sought only for what was to their best personal advantage. It is therefore recommended that after peace has been declared the conduct of the students should be investigated and the guilty punishert.
Mr. Brewin suggested that the father and mother be made responsible for registration, and Dr. Clarke replied that they were so by the law at present, but that it had not been enforced.

There was one thing, it was against the law of the Colony to put a dead body at the door of a convent, or anywhere in the public streets, and at the present time there' were a hundred sol- diers assisting goodness knows how many police to prevent that being done. And, not withstanding that, there they were, with the full knowledge that it was being done, looking on snuling at it. He did not see why they should do so, The was a law against any per Sun removing a dead body from a house, andit was also an offence against the law to deposit a dead budy in the street. He moved that the resolutions be referred to a sub-committee con- sisting of Drs. Bell and Clark, and Mr. Fung Wa Chien.
The motion being seconded, was put to the Board, and carried, Mr. Biewinkling that instructions might be given to the sub-com- miltec to find out what steps the Government were taking to deal with the question, for Dr. Hartiga bad stated that he had some years ago famished a report to the Government on the whole question, and he thought the cout- mittee should nist take any steps until they saw what had been recommended by their their predecessors.

A Rumour.
The Tientsin fekjeh Sinudu states that it is reported that the calling of H.E. Hu Yü-fen, ex-Governor of Peking and ex-Director General of Nonhern Railways to Peking, is due to the intention of the British Government to return the Peking to Shaphaikuan Railway to the Chinese Government after the conclusion of pence, and that H.E. has been chosen to take charge of the railway, on account of his being a persona grala with foreigners.

The Court's Movements. There is evidence that the friends of the Emperor, if he is fortunate enough to escape the hostile intrigues of the notorious" eunuch, Li Lien-ying, these few days, will be able to get his Majesty to start for Peking. As mal- tes now stand the Empress Dowager will not accompany his Majesty to the capital, but will remain at sume imff-way city with everything is settled at Peking and there is less chance of her being troubled by the Foreign Powers who are opposed to her. The above news comes from a reliable source at Hsias and may be taken as a true description of the intentions of both the friends and the enemies of the Em- perer at Court. News from the same source further confirms what has already appeared in these columns, namely, that Li Lien-ying and his party are actually scheming to place the heir-apparent u Chan on the Throne, and make the capital of the Empire at some strong inland city, and also that the friends of the Emperor are doing their utmost to guard his Majesty from harm.-N.

ASBESTOS BUILDINGS FOR
THE TROPICS, ··
We have received the following conimunica- tion with the compliments of Messrs. Black head, who are the agents in this Colony for the undermentioned firm --
Asbest;und Gummiwerke: Alfred Calmon Aktiengesellschaft, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Munich, London, Vienna.
This Company has built for the German War-Office two Asbestos dwelling houses each containing teu apartments for officers and their
families.
...
The material employed (Asbestos-Slate) as well as the manner in which the order was ex- ecuted met with undivided appreciation on the pact of the authorities in question.
The magnificent qualities of Asbestos-Sline, its incombustibility, maximum protection against heat and cold, light weight, and easy application, are gaining for it friends wherever introduced, and the above company are daily in receipt of orders not only from Germany but from almost all parts of the world.
It may be regarded as a glorious triumph for the Asbestos industry that in view of the ex- ceedingly satisfactory results of the tests are by the Austrian Naval Auíhorities, it is pro- posed to construct ships-cabins and furniture of Asbestos Slate, and a trial order for this pur- pose has already been placed.
In addition to numerous houses for the tro pics, a large and beautiful villa for Baron Nathaniel Rothschild has been supplied.
THE "AJAX" ASSAULT CASE,
Most of the European papers published in Japan devoted much space and attention to the case of assault on a coolie on board the ss. Ajar at Yokohama. They appeared to think that the septence on Mr. Gilmour for striking the coolie was very severe, and partly instigated by racial feeling. It seems, however, from particulars published by the Fiji Shimpa, that the case was conducted in accordance with the code of Criminal Procedure, and also that the sentence the accused might lawfully have received was much reduced. Hence it seems that-if the sentence was severe, as we think it was, the outcry of the press should be directed to the alteration of statutes that are ton severe for cases of common assault, but not against those and are bound to administer the law as they
find it.

NAGASAKI BEACHCOMBERS··

His companion was sentenced to one month which was already expired. Seeing, however, that the British officer was not, altogether dis- crect in speaking in men who were probably in liquor when they insulted him, this sentence may be regarded on the whole as satisfactory.
