Best Description,
We have heard. His Excellency sevirely criticised at times by people who say that he gives way too much to the Chinese, but we think that he is right in hearing both sides of every question. He recognises the. fact, as he pointed out yesterday, that we. live in a free country and avery.manis en titled to think his own though and speak his own mind, and to guide, his own; retions without interference, so long as those actions do not prevent the exercise of a similar free dom by others. This is where the great stumbling block has always been. We have been too prone to think, as KIPLING puts it, "That East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," and so long as we approach matters in that spirit we can never hope to succeed in living comfortably and without friction in Hongkong. A better understanding will smooth the way for the removal, of racial prejudices,, and we trust that yesterday's function points to this be coming, in the near future, an accomplished fact. A mutual understanding wil remove all difficulties.

THE MOTOR RAGE between the Duke of the Abruzzi and Signor Coltelletti ended in the Duke smashing his car. The race was from Villanova, near Turin, toficata, near Bologna. The Duke renched Alessandria 12 minutes ahead of Signor Coltelletti, but at San Giuliano, some distance beyond Alessandria, the Duke's car ran into a milestone, and was smashed to pieces. The Duke had a heavy fall, but was unhurt, and he returned to Alessandria in a carriage. Signor Coltelletti, who had started 15 minutes before the Duke, and was therefore two minutes ahead of him at Alessandria, knew nothing of the accident. He continued the race, reaching Bologna at seven minutes past five o'clock. The distance covered 349 kilometres (218 miles)

.. RING LEADERS ARRESTED. It appears that matters are not running as. smoothly as could be wished in military circles in Macao, and what is said to have been a open act of mutiny has just been nipped in the bud. So far as we have been able to gather the facts of the case are as follows:-
A new regiment recently arrived from Lisbon to garrison the place and the men say that they are being paid at a lower rate of pay than they agreed to serve for, and that they' are forced to do police duty, although their Lisbon agreement provides for garrison duty only. It seems that the Portuguese,Authorities have only been paying their native police about. nine cents per day, with the result that they are unable to obtain either Chinese or Indians, hence the Portuguese troops have been forced to do police duty and this, coupled with poor any, has led to the greatest of dissatisfaction.
