To day at about noon the magazine of the Chinese cruiser Knicht, a fourth-rate armoured war-vessel, exploded, and in moment all hands but two were blown into eternity She went up like a fire cracker and | all was over.

The Japanese vessel, Al Hio was passing close by and all those on deck were badly splashed, but no one was injured. A large shot nearly fell on the sampan of Vang Chang, the compradore. There were three sampans just starting for the shore full of Chinese sailors, but these were blown up and all killed. Great pieces of iron and wood were thrown clean on shore. The shock was plainly felt in the city four or five miles off, and perhaps further. The cause of the explosion is not known. Much glass was broken at the port. The two survivors were found clinging to planks from the wreckage, and they are not very severely injured. The waves caused by the explosion were very high. The captain and twenty odd men were ashore and thus escaped sudden death.

It may, we think, be said that the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company is, in its present state, largely the offspring of Mr. Gillles ; who was in no small degree in- strumental in bringing the docking facil lies of Hongkong to the position they now occupy. Mainly through his indomitable pluck, per- severance, intellectual force, dogged determina- lon, iren will and shrewd business caparity the company is now firmly established on a substantial foundation, and in the enjoyment of robust maturity with every prospect of further development and continuous prosperity, In that great industrial establishuocat, which now includes engineering and shipbuilding, Mr. Gillies has left an enduring monument with which his name will ever be honourably and inseparably associated.

not likely ever again to be questioned. As a free trading country to whom markets are the breath of commercial life, interested already to the extent of 60 per cent. in the whole of

and anxious only for its maintenance or exten sion, the open door naturally appeals to us as a sound article of faith ; but in other countries, Russia, for instance, and France, who have not so much at stake ar d whose aims are mainly political, the main question presents itself in a wholly different aspect. So far, it is true, they have not ventured openly to dissent from equal trading rights for all nations being desirable' in the abstract, but the recent doings in Man-- churia, the well known tendencies of the Russian foreign office and above all, the multitude and complexity of the diplomatic, sub-currents at Peking, show clearly enough that the great Powers are in anything bat agreement on the Chinese question, and that if all comers are eventually to be placed on the same trade footing in the Celestial; Em- pire it will not be until some nationalites have been defeated in a strenuous fight to obtain special privileges.

With the mining industry it is differ- ent. Notwithstanding that we have long known. that there are extensive mineral deposits in China, next to nothing has yet been done to develop them, while a succession of acute international squabbles as to land, concessions, railways; and tarifis might easily retard their development for many years to come. It seems clear that if anything to much purpose is soon to be made of China's mineral resources the work must be done by England.
