THE INDIAN PRESS. There was no hint or allusion or question as to the respectability or position of some of the prominent members of the Indian Congress in our leader of the 3rd instant. What we objected to was the immoderate and violent tone in which theis orators and papers are indulging in criticising British nu-- thorities. These patriots are perfectly aware- that the tone of their writings and speeches will not for a moment be tolerated under
any native-State and they naturally follow the line of least resistance and dump their real or imaginary and visionary grievances on English soil. Our correspondent utlers

The new steamship Niigata Maru, to sail from Kobe once in three weeks, will start for the first time to-morrow,
FHR Port Ankur correspondent of the N.C.D. Nerer reports that the Japanese are fast mak- ing themselves practical masters of Corea in an economic as well as in an educational sense. As soon as an opportunity presents itself, Corea will become Japanese in name as it is already Japanese in fact. That this opportunity may come quickly is the ardent wish of every Japaqese.

As there will also be.

There is no hope of refloating the vessel and the hull has been already handed over to the Tokio Marine Insurance Co., which insured the ship for yen 40,000. The Suyo Maru was only built in
ACCORDING to Mr. Soyeda, speaking through the co umns of the Hocht Shimbun, the Japan- 450 authorities have decided that the time is. now suitable for bringing Formosa within the same currency system as that prevailing, throughout the rest of the empire, in other words, adopting gold minometallism. At first the island's close relations with the neighbour ig empire of China rendered it advisable to adhere to the silver system, but the severe fluctuations in the gold value of the white metal during recent years have greatly hampered trade, and the moment seems to be now opportune for reverting to the stabler basis. Wo gather from Mt. Soyeda's remarks that a bill in that sense has already been prepared by the Treasury.
THE Nici Nicht auaches much importan e to the recent discovery of oil in Hokkaido by the International Oil Company. This Con pany has been making many and costly effritts to test the potentialities of Yero as an oil bearing region, and on the 16th of August it met with its first signal success. A boring was minced on the 29th of July at a place call ed Hachimancho in Ishikari, some 5 miles from the sea coast of Mori, nad on the 6th August when a depth of 1,780 feet had been reached, indications of oil were obtained.` · 1 he following morning at 6 am. the oil began to ́spout with a noise like thunder, and a jet six or seven feet high rose above the surface of the ground. It is believed that the oil-bearing stratum of Hokkaido has now been reached, but no one acquainted with the vicissitudes of this kind of enterprise will be prepared. In pass final judgment.
