UNVEILING OF THE PERRY MONUMENT.
The Perry Monument at Kurihams, near Urara, was successfully unveiled yesterday, says the Kone Herald af 15th inst. Unfort unately bad weather interfered with the success of the proceedings. An extra train conveying guests from Takin was despatched at 2:45. These guests ctal rked as the battleship Sh ishima and the Red Cross Hospital ship Hakuni Maru at Yokohama arriving at Kur hama at 11. The place where, the ceremony was to take place was enclosed by a lambae fence. A large arch surmount. ed by Japanese and American flags, was erected at the entrance to this enclosure.
The Japanese warships Shikishima, magi, Fure and the hospital ship Hakuai Maru, the American warships Aw York, Yorktown, and New Orleans were at anchor off Kurihama fully dressed." Salutes were fired, when the montgent was unveiled. Baron Kancko, Pro- sident of the Beiyu Kiokai, under whose auspices the monument has been erected, made a speech, and Colonel Buck, U. S.

Mr. Ellis agains appeared for the defence and demanded the man's release upon the grounds that all the police charges had utterly broken down and the man could not be sent into the city until the Assessor Was satisfied that a primi facie cast had been made out against him. Mr. Ellis administered a stinging castigation to Chicl-Inspector. Ramsay for his extraordinary conception and discharge of his duties in connection with these mysterious warrants, and the officer vainly attempted an explanation. In the end the Inspector had to withdraw all his charges and admit that nothing had been established against the victim of this most extraordinary persecution, while the Assessor (Mr. Mayers), who agreed with Mr. Ellis's strictures on the Police, marked the charge sheet that the accused was discharged and recommended in the "remarks" column that the most searching enquiry should be held into the conduct and motives of the Police in
the matter.
NAVIGATION OF THE INLAND SDA.
The whites on the necessity for provid. ing special relations in connection, with the navigation of the Seto Umi, the inland sea of Japan, in order to prevent secilents to navi gating vessels. According to the latest statis. Lics obtained, foreign-style ressels which daily passed through the inland sea last year, were thirty in number on the average, and adding Japanese-style vessels, etc., the number would reach over 200 on the average. The nun- ber of accidents to vessels on the Japanese sea coasts during 1899 was 397, of which go cases occurred in the inland sca. Of the total length of 7,000 miles of Japan's sea coast, the inland sea coast share is only one-twentieth of the mileage, but one fourth the total number of accidents took place within this limit. This fact shows the necessity of instituting special navigation regulations for Seto-Umi in view of the increasing number of voyages in the inland sta, and also the construction of larger vessels of greater speed. Late last year an investiga- tion commission was founed, consisting of the officials of the Navy and of Agriculture and Chinmerce, for the purpose of framing inland sea navigation regulations, but no pro- gress has been made in the matter of investi- gation. Our contemporary hopes the com mission will expedite its work, so that a draft of the regulations may be submitted to the next Diet and may be put in operation at the carliest possible date. The distance be tween the opposite coasts of the inland sea is Jess than six miles, and therefore it is un- doubtedly part of the territorial waters of Japan, As the powers generally recognise three miles and sometimes six to ten from their coasts 15 the scope of their territorial waters, and any dispute about the question such as cropped up in connection with the Chishima-Ravenna case, will be prevented if these navigation regulations can be quickly provided-Japan

A fuller version of the American Attache's report on the Boer war says that the British do not possess caution. They just push ahead, and take the consequences; but Lord Roberts is a shining exception to this rule. The report adds that for indomitable courage, uncomplain- ing fortitude, and implicit obedience, British troops are beyond criticism.-Singapore Free Press.
