(N G. D. News) The Manchurian Question and Opinion in Japan.
Takie, 16th May.
Lord Cranborne's statement in the House of Commons reported on the 12th, that Russia adheres to her engagements as to the evacua- ̈tion of Manchuria, which is only temporarily delayed, and the leading article in the Times thereon, have caused much comment in Tokio. Some of the To in publicists are disposed to think that the British Government does not appreciate the gravity of the situation, and is too ready to list Russia's assurances, which conil ca flagrantly with the actual facts. The tea ing journals, however, assert that it 25 obrinus that a full understanding exists be tween the Cabinets in London and Tokio, and they are convinced that if the interests of citler Power are seriously threatened, the potency of the Anglo-Japanese Aliance will at once make itself felt.

In continuation of our report of last evening regarding the petition from the managers of the Koshing Theatre in relation to the decision of the Sanitary Board recommending the clusing of Chinese iheatres, the following discussion took place at yesterday's meeting of the Sani-

Mr. Fung Wa Chun-1 think it is rather too early to consider that application. The theatres have not been closed yet.
The President:-The maller is still under consideration by the Government.
Mr. Fung Wa Chun:-We had better wait until that has been settled.
The President (after reading Mr. Rumjahn's minule) :—As a theatre is not a tenement house we cannot compel the usual half-yearly time. washing to be carried out.
Mung Wa Chun :-They are willing to do that.
Capt Lyons-Make that a condition of the license.
The Vice-President: beg to move that the application be forwarded to the Government, It is outside the jurisdictio of the Board to actually close the theatres; we can only recom mend the step to the Government, so that the application to the Board is sitru vires.

Mr. Hewett said if it was the case that pis wash, because it was a marketable produce and had been sold to someone, was allowed to remain in a house for three days before being removed by its purchaser, as Mr. Rumjahn had stated, s'eps should be taken to ensure being take away within the twenty-four hours.

The Government of the Federated Malay States have always maintained close control over the production of tin, to which they owe so much at their prosperity and progress. Prior to 1887 the export of tin ore was pro- ibited, but this rule was relaxed in so far that export for melting within the limits of the Colony permitted. The Government are now about to emphasise these conditions by impos- ing a prohibitive duty on exports of tin ore outside the Colony,
The grounds for this action are obvious to any one familiar with the tin trade and with the history of the Native States. The Govern. ment of the Federated Malay States cant $182,000.00 allow any change to occur in the conditions of

for the world's tin trade.
It is well known that an American Syndicate aims at buying up in ore in the Straits, ship- ping it to New Yors, and there smelting and refining it for the market.
If such a trade were p rmitted to be estab. lished the possible effects on the Straits might be disastrous. The smelting and refining of tin in America would be considered as a new industry. Protection would eventually be sought, and could not be refused. An import duty on the metallic tin as shipped from the Straits would be imposed. And forthwith the American market, by the mere operation of such a duty, would be closed to everyone but the American smelters.

It is also obvious that whereas the Straits now possesses ample facilities for smelting a much larger production than now exists, the removal from the Straits of 70% of the ore would cause the disappearance of fully two-thirds of such smelting fictiles, and as this occurred he posi. sion of the miner would get worse and worse.
