ARTHUR HILL WORLD'S
ENTERTAINERS-
The members of this troupe of variety enter tainers presented a change of programine to a large audience at the Theatre Royal last even- ing, and again received the loud plaudits of the audience for a smart performance. Kelly and Agnas were very popular with their dancing and quaint antics, while Miss Leslie Norman was loudly encored for the song Arthore, and, at the conclusion of the piece, was presented with a large basket of flowers. Leonard Nelson, the plain comedian, gave a most laughable turn and, of course, had to respond to enthu Lazero, the mystic again | delighted the house with his mirth, magic and mystery, while Miss Maud Christie's sweet voice was much appreciated by the audience, and åt. the termination of her solo the popular artiste The Court find the mail steamer was presented with a heap of floral devices alone to blame.

340 Level North.-By extending this end 11 t, we have gained a total of 171 ft. The improvement of last month has not been main- tained. The lode, for 55 in. wide is worth 2. dwt only, and has become much harder. The siate, about 2 ft. wide, from the hanging wall footwall portion is separated by a course of

NORTHERN AFFAIRS.
Following are items transmitted to Manila ex- changes by the Far Eastern Press Association
The Japanese government has requisitioned all the Japanese fleet which is now in drydock ,or preparing to enter. War is expected to be
declared momentarily.
Port Arthur is being made ready for war as fast as possible. The Russian engineer corps is building ramparts to defend the city. It is believed there that Port Arthur will be attacked at the very outset of the war.
Japan, in her reply to the demands of Russia, is reported to have rejected all the fundamental points advanced by the Czar's Government. The situation is considered grave, and the people are looking for a declaration of war.
Russia is endeavouring to borrow from the banks £125,000,000, as an emergency sum to be used in case of war with Japan. The financial agents of Russia are sounding the great German bankers on the subject.
Admiral Alexiel, Viceroy of Russia in the Far East, has been authorized by the Czar to settle all local questions in his domain concein- ing the Russo-Japanese embroglio.
Japan is chartering transports wherever available. The subsidized lines have been notified that they must be ready to furnish ships,
The Japanese legation in Berlin has received an intimation that Russia will concede the requests of japan in the settlement of the differences between the nations,
The railways of Japan have been ordered to prepare for the transportation of 70,000 soldiers
to the coast.
The American fleet at Cavite was ordered to sail last Tuesday for Nagasaki. Warm times are expected in Japan within the next few days. The Cavite fleet will meet that under Admiral Evans on the coast of Japan.
Forty warships of Japan are being coaled to the limit of their bunkers, in preparation for an emergency..

AT MOJI
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
The following is from the Kroe Chronicle of the 20th inst.:-During the last few days some brief particulars have appeared in the Japanese journals regarding trouble that has arisen in connection with the crew of the Hèlène Rick- mers at Moji. We have now obtained a state- meat regarding this case, which is of a remark. able nature.
This information is asked for as the objects and reasons of the amended Bili state a new definition of the expression" external air" is submitted in order to give effect to the Board's recommendation.
(3.) Mr. Kumjahn, pursuant to notice, will
ask:-
(1) With reference to the answer given at the last meeting to my question No. 4, will the Vice-President be pleased to quote the section
(if any) in the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance No. 1 of 1903, under which he, as the building authority, is empowered to authorize" sanitary inspectors to enter and inspect domestic buildings for the purpose of ascertaining the existence or otherwise of "building nuisances?"
under which of the provisions of the Public (2.) Will the secretary be pleased to state
Health and Buildings Ordinance, No. 1 of 1903, or under what authority, notices for the abatement of "building nuisances" are being made out in the office of the Sanitary Board instead of the office of the building authority?
(3.) Will the secretary be pleased to state under what authority or standing order (if any) sanitary inspectors are engaged in serving
notices for the abatement of "building nuis- ances and in attending the police court to prove the existence of such nuisances, on be- half of the building authority A
4. Mr. Pollock, pursuant to notice, will ask: (1) Will you state how many houses (ap proximately) there are in the city of Victoria?
According to the facts which have been related to us, the Gerinan steamer Haline Rickmers, Captain Wurneke, was lying in Moji harbour about a week ago, when the Captain received a députation from the Chinese crew asking that the Chinese should be discharged at that port. The Captain objected to this on the ground that there was no German Consulate in Moji which could give a discharge, and that it would be impossible for him, to obtain another crew at Moji. He promised, however, to take the men to Singapore and pay them off Will you also state how many houses (appro there, and to send them back to Hongkongximately) in the city of Victoria will require from that port. It appears that meanwhile exemplion by the Governor in Council, under same of the Chinese had gone ashore, and the definition of "external air? which appears they were told by a Chinese compradore that
in section 2 of Ordinauce No. 23 of 1903-7 he could ledge the whole of the Chinese, Will you also stale how many houses (appro. they liked to leave the ship and come to his ximately) in the city of Victoria have windows premises.

communicated this invitation to the rest of the Chinese crew, and the Chinese thereupon in- sisted on leaving the ship in a body, notwith- standing the direct orders of the Caprain. On the officers interfered and a row ensued, the the Chinese altempting to desert the vessel
result being that after a sharp struggle the Chinese were locked up in the forecastle.
During the struggle blows were struck, and the Chinese apparently bore some marks of the affray, for on a number of them escaping through the ventilator of the forecastle and reaching the shore, they laid a complaint against the Captain and officers for assault, showing the wounds they had received as evidence of maltreatment. The authorities, without apparently attempting to make any further inquiries, at once proceeded on board and arrested the Captain and officers,
