THE CHINESE MISSION OF APOLOGY TO JAPAN.
The suspiciousness of the natives in Java is readily aroused by anything unusual about the ring of guilders. The counterfeiting of coin is nothing uncommon there. The other day some guilder pieces bearing the image of Queen Wilhelmina were rejected by both Javanese and Chinese, owing to the dullness of the ring The coins, on examination, proved to be genuine, but they had been dented by having been often thrown upon stones and hard ob- jects to test the ring. Many coins struck in her father's reign have also fallen short in the "ring"
A crying evil in Java is the insufficiency of Re-money-changers. The result is that, to meet the circulating medium, to the advantage of the need, much spurious and counterfeit coin is current. The Government has the power to swell the volume of the currency, but sees no need for it.
