Ia being an Föld samurai and a famous fencing master stabbed his viction in a vital part and Hoshi wis not able to offer any resistance nor were the other bystanders able to do any thitig at the time, owing to the suddenness of the attack. But M. Hiriga, secretary of the Municipal Comel, arrested the assassin, and then the other members of the Council and Mr. Kusakabe assisted in the work and the police arrived and the assassin was sent to the police station. Mr. Hushi's wound was so deep- and deadly that he never untered a word from the moment he was stock. Doctors were called in, but before their arrival the victim of this terrible tragedy was dead. His body was sent to his residence at Aoyama. Iba Sotary told the police that he always intended to mur. der Hoshi and he had given up all his property, as well as his wife and chiltleen, had planned the assassination with great caution and he would have lost "face" if Haki survived the wound The invaried to inflict.

BRITISH APPROVAL OF AMERICAN POLICY IN CHINA.
The Literary Digest says the press of Great Britain is almost upaninious in commending our (U.S.) Chinese policy. The Times and The Daily News (London), usually at opposite palitical poles, seldom lose an opportunity to praise our moderation and good sense. The American suggestions in the far East are at ways sensible, says The Guardian (Radical, Manchester). Commenting on Mr. Rockhill's plan for basing the Chinese indemnity on the sum China can afford to pay without becoming bankrupt, he vuardian says:

The bowl which was selected by the Com mittee is on view at Messrs. Kuhn and Komor's Art and Curio Store, and is a very fine sample of Japanese art metal work. The bowl itself stands 6 inches high and measures 12 inches in diameter. On the convex side the bowl is chastely chiselled to represent chrysan- themums in full bloom. The interior is fluted, the depressions corresponding to the graceful lines of the rim. It stands on an ebony carving itself an object of rare value-seven inches high. The cup, at present, is not quite com- plete, a small plate with an inscription having to be affixed. It says much for the resources of Messrs. Kahn and Konior's establishment that the Committee were able to find there precisely the ornamental bowl they desired.

Some interest has been accently aroused by telegrams.concerning an accidist on the rail. way which forms the geographical backbone of the military situation in China. It was first reported as due to a "culvert repaired by the tennis." Next, as caused by a heap of sand on the line; and finally, as "in a measure due to the general condition of the line which needs to be relaid." The military engineers have had to make the best of rails which were dannged by the Boxers, and an inadequate supply of sleepers and bad bolts, etc." Which ever of these more nearly correct, one cannot regrain from the feeling that possibly if the repairs to and running of the line were left to those who designed, built, and maintained it, it might run mure sweetly, It is ill working on thin ice, and that the ice over there is very thin may he judged from the wording of the first telegram above noted, and from the fact that the penalty of a tug belonging to one nation only touching a bridge guarded by another nation is sum.ient excuse' for a volley. The existing staff of the northern railways carried all the Chinese troops sent north in the China-Japan war over a single line and light
the disastrous foods which breached the line at frequent intervals. Repairs had to be con- stantly made on banks, bridges, and culverts, and the troop trains were kept going through out without even a small accident-saving that once a "brave" from far districts tried to stop a car with his toe! Even in that case no damage was done to the car On the double track (Tientsin-Peking line) the Boxers, draw- ing in their own details to the general orders given them from Peking, drew the spikes or forced the trained natives to do so, piled the sleppers inside the stations, sonked them with kerosene, and an burnt up, sleepers and stations buildings together. The rails, bring too heavy to carry off to the villages, were thrown down on one another, or on bridge abui- ments, and so bent as to be useless. It is scarcely conceivable that the military engineers who first assumed possession of the line, Rus sians, Germanus, and French, should not have long ago ordered and received such rails as were necessary for repairs. If they have been received, it would seem difficult to account for the statement that a line which a year ago was an excellent piece of work in every respect-- fully ballasted, well laid with heavy rails, and over which 55 miles per hour was often run comfortably-is nus "utterly inefficient for the traffic." Nothing but, lamentable neglect an the part of those who withheld this railway from the British bondholders-the mortgagees presentatives down the fine and filled them of the line and their engineering staff on the up with tima etc. at the Woosung Hotel, ground, can explain such a fine piece of while showing them the results, of dawning light in his directorate as evidenced by the engineering being reduced to one utterly tapestry envered cars and the actual 60 cents inefficient for the permanent traffic."

ant charges they exact for the worst managed and most experating little railway in the world This distinction surely the line in question, has camed, as after nearly three years of its existence it has no night service and suspends operations when the sun goes downs A glimmering of reason, however, seems to have struck in somehow and illuminated the minds of the management, that the travelling public want something more from a line which runs nowhere and ends up a squirrel path in the wilds of Honglow. But they are ont quits sure what their patrons desire. So accordingly, more Sternsis, they have put on a couple of pretty tapestry covered cars in the hot weather, instead of sticking to the engler leather during the summer months, and have also reduced the first class fare to sixty cents-which is only what we have been paying all the past year though the tickets were marked 8o cents-an atrocious charge for ten minutes journey. But the Sung-wn directors seek to give the traveller the value for his money by making their trains crawl along at the rate of summething less than 20 miles an hour, taking even half an hour to do the journey.
