LATER.
The Crisis in the Far East. It is announced in St. Petersburg that the Russian reply to Japan will be delivered on the 6th instant. The renewed postpone. ment has caused great exasperation in Japan. Viscount Ito was summoned from his coun- try seat during the night and subsequently a seven hours' Council was held at which the Premier, the Senior Statesmen, the Ministers of War and the Navy, and three Admirals were present. Great importance is attached to the meeting.
News from St. Petersburg says that the General Staff has authorised Admiral Alexieff to declare war and to open hostilities if circumstances indicate the necessity. An Imperial Manifesto proclaiming war is ex pected to follow sharply if Japan rejects the arrangement proposed in the Russian reply.

KLING'A VISION OF THE DEVIL.
A gibbering King, urskilled in the nature of beasts, ran squealing through the town to tell that he had seen the devil. Others, paralys ed, dumbstricken, feared even to pet out of the way of the desirover The destroyer, on his part, busied himself keeping as far out of the thoroughfares would permit. way of these good people as the narrowness of❘
At 7.30 he came to an empty cot on Bencoolen Street, which seemed to affo d room for him to stretch himself. ly this time the braver spirits of the town were arming them selves against the scourge; and first to come forward as champion of the town was Private Ariana S. V. 1. with his trusty 303 rifle. Sup- porting him in the chase was his brother, name unstated, who carned a 12 hare double-bar- relled gun loaded will ball. These pioneers of a subsequent army of shikarris stalked Stripes to the empty cat and opened fire.
THE END WHICH MADE HIM JUMP, Private Ariana's first shot kit one end of the
tiger. Some say the bullet hit the head end of the brute, others say it hit the other end. Which ever end may have been most huri the result was magical. The tiger gave a roar and sprang out of sight. He had cleared a six foot wall with the lead in him. Before he jumped Ariana, Frere, fired two 12 bore b llets into his body.
The tiger was now full of anguish, he was also roaring. Lomng Brenei, or Brunie Lane, which he rushed into like a ricket was cleared of its morning crowd in an instant. The howls of the multitudes in the adjoining streets were tremendous. News that the police were com ing, that the soldiers had been called out, that a pack of tigers was securing the town, few from tongue in tongue. Dois banged in the face of the tiger.
ASTOUDED CELESTIAL
At the upper end of the lane a house stand with its dark door invitingly open. It was full of jabbering Chinese conlies, who were making so much noise on their own account, and were naturally so apathetic to the interests of others, that they had not attempted even to listen to the row nutside. into this party of Celestials sprang Mring Ah Pob's ger. It is not yet known whether he hurt any of them. Not one of the party has been seen er heard of since. Under a bank he crawled
bis vast bulk, and thus he hid himself.
Meanwhile the shikarris of the town had been arming themselves, and presently a crowd of Malays with guns and crackers were besieg ing the house in an effort to draw the tiger. The tiger refused to come out even when crackers were thrown in at him, the hunters began to fire slugs and buckshot into him.
OFFICIAL DEATH OF THE TIGER.
They were still firing valleys of that useful ammunition when Inspector Brace and a Sikh Corporal, both armed in the teeth, arrived on the scene with Snyders and more buckshot, and they officially killed the tiger. It then died
When the corpse was hauled from under the bunk there was not enough skin left to hold the poor brute together. The remains were
NORTHERN NOTES.
THE JAPANESE WAR LOAN.
BARON SONE'S. EXPLANATION,
fiser, states that at the interview between Baron The Nichi Nichi, reports the Japan Adver- Sone and the leading bankers the other day, the Minister of Finance explained to the bankers that, in case of the outbreak of war with Russia, the Government will raise at the
first outset a one hundred million yen loan at home, at six per cent. interest per annum, expressed his desire that the business men redeemable within five years. Baron Sone
should readily respond to the requirements of the situation and subscribe at least three of four times over the amount issued. He said that if the loan is thus favourably subscribed, the credit of the Empire will be recognised among the Powers, and in case of the necessity of rising further loans on the foreign markets afterwards, considerable benefits may be obtain- ed and negotiations can be smoothly settled. The business men should be fully alive to this fact, and in case the loan is issued, all efforts should be made to subscribe to the loan for the sake of the State Even after the outbreak of war, every attention should be paid towards the development of commerce. If the bankers commence to take too cautious measures after the opening of hostilities, and abstain from dvancing leans to commercial and industrial circles, and if they hinder the development of bas ness enterprises, an economic panic may prevail, and the result may prove serious. The | Baron adiled that the bankers should be con- scientious on this point, and care should be taken not to bring any undesirable influence
to bear on the economic world.
THE NAVAL FETE.
The representatives of the Tokio Municipality, Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, and the Shoko Keizai-kal (Merchants' and Manufacturers' Economic Association), including the Mayor and Deputy-Mayors, Messrs. K. Okura, K. Nezu, K. Amehomiya, S.

They appointed Mr. Kintaro Shamizu of the City Office, Mr. Gentara Ogiwara of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. shin-nosuke Kimura of the Shoko Keizai kai, to act as a commitee, and drew up regulations in this : onnection. 1 was also decided that the organizers should hold a meeting on the 27th ult. at the City Council's hall.

THE TIGER GETS A NEW ANODE,
Various accounts are given of the incident and its many episodes, but the main facts seem to be as follows:-
The tiger come from Paling on the 21st inst. in a small cage, that was built by the jungle Malays who captured him.
He was a fine big fellow over eight feet long, and he had rubbed half his hair off in a futile endeavour to get comfortable in his prison, or get out of it. In this condition he was seen and admired by Mr. Ong Ah Poh, the food contractor for the Reformatory, who entered into negotiations for his purchase, and eventually secured him for a paltry Sto Mr. Ong Ah Puh resides on Bras Bassah Road. The exigencies of his menage rendered it necessary for him to have a special cage made for the animal, so he hired a carpenter on Rochore Road to construct him a suitable den for his pet. The carpenter ac cepted the contract and set about making what be considered a tiger-proof cage. By all re- ports it was a beauiful article in its way, and when it was finished last evening Mr. Ong Ab Poh took the tiger in its original package to the tukang's shop so that his pet might change its quarters without danger.
