TUNNELLING INTO FORT ARTIJUR.
LONDON, 4th October.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Nagasaki wires that the Japanese made tunnel into Port Arthur which was finished on the 24th September and immediately made use of, with what result is not known.
Mr. Balfour in Edinburgh.
Mr. Balfour, speaking at a large Conserva- tive banquet in Edinburgh, paid a tribute to the late Sir William Harcourt. He repudiat. ed the idea that there was any bargaining between the Nationalists and the Conserva- tives. He personally was no Protectionist and he thought that under existing circum stances protection was not the best policy. He could not with advantage remain Leader of the Party if Protection was adopted, Whether Mr. Chamberlain's estimate of the Colonial offer was right or wrong, Mr. Bal four agreed that we had reached a point at which there was only one way out of an impasse and that was to have a free con ference with India and the Colonies.

THE WAR.
COST OF WAR TO RUSSIA,
The cost of the war to Russia is published in an elaborate statement, on the authority of the Ministry of Finance. From Feb. 9 to Aug. 3 (16) a'au of 337,500,0bles was assigned for the requirements of the campaign. Thus the extraordinary monthy expenditure has not exceeded an average of 41,000,000 roubles, or in our currency 44,387.005, which means a week. ly outlay of £1,097.250. 11 is probable that

It has been put desirability of making representations to his most clearly by Lord Lansdowne in a despatch Majesty's Government thereon. Mr. William

The Chairman, after a short speech, moved the following resolutions: "That this meeting
of members of the London Chamber of Com- merce concerned in trade with the Far East views with grave apprehension the continued uncertainty as to the position of British trade and shipping in regard to 'contraband of war' as interpreted by the Russian Government." "That this meeting trusts that his Majesty's Government will take such immediate and effective steps as will afford all reasonable pro- tection to British shipping and ensure the same degree of immunity from vexatious stoppages and examinations as is apparently enjoyed by the shipping of other nationalities." "That these resolutions be conveyed in due form without delay to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs."
with the extension of the mobilisation, and with the reinforcement of the army in the field, the expenditure will be increased, The recent new issue of bonds known as the "Series" amounting to 150000,000 roubles (£16,157,000), was made to meet the further extraordinary war expenditure. It is particular ly pointed out by the Ministry of Finance that this last bond issue was made, not to cover expenditure already incurred, but to meet future expenditure. The sum of 257,500,000 roubles has been covered up to Aug. 3 (16) by the available cash in the Treasury and by such some from the Budget for 1904 which were made available by the reduction of certain items of that Budget This brought the free sums in hand to 300,000,000 roubles (632,100,000), At present the available cash will be increased by the produce of the foreign (French) loan of 1.800,000,000 (£5,000,000) and the bond issued of 150,000,000 roubles (£16,157,000). The Government will, therefore, bave at its disposal over 45,0.020_roubles (£48,150,000), with the balance of the above-ried mentioned free sums amounting to 300,000,000 roubles, for further war expenditure incurred from Aug. 3 (16), estimated to be sufficient to pay for another 9 or 13 months' campaigning.
The only official Japanese statement covers the period from February to July. During those six months the expenditure is stated to
Mr. Watts (Vice-President, Chamber of Ship- ping), in seconding the resolutions, said that the only fault any one could find with them was that they were perhaps a little too mild.
After discussion, the resolutions were car-
unanimously.
The Prime Minister afterwards received, at the Foreign Office, a deputation from the meet ing. After some conversation, during which members sought to establish the contention that dere was a difference of treatment in re-
gard to British and German vessels,
Mr. Balfour said:-I will make some obser-

I do not think, therefore, I can make that more clear by any statement to you than I have already made it clear in my statement in the House of Commons, or than Lord Lansdowne has put it in the important despatches in which he conveyed our views to the Russian Govern- ment.

KOWLOON CRICKET CLUB.
A PROMISING, HEALTHY CHILD.
A large meeting of residents interested in the formation of a Cricket Club for Kowloon was held last night at the Seamen's Institute.

Mr. Ltd., in reply to one from him requesting his Osborne had promised to do all in his power to further the club, and suggested that a de- putation of prominent residents in Kowloon should wait upon the Governor and apply for a suitable site on which to play. He strongly tien ground, and not land on which to play cricket alone. The Government, he did not think, would be inclined to grant land to an individual body, but an application for a gene- ral recreation ground, on the lines of Happy Valley, which should be vested in trustees, he thought, would be favourably received, and that a portion of King's Park,would be allocat ed for the purpose.

MR. J. WILKIE ON TOUR,
A Colonial "sport" in the person of Mr. J. Wilkie, of Hongkong, is touring through Perth-
shire at present and will reach the Fair City to-morrow, says the Perthshire Courier, of 30th August. Mr. Wilkie is an old Blairgowrie Boy, and while at school there he developed an interest in football which afterwards became a passion with hint. Mr. Wilkie was just mak ing a name for himself in the football world before leaving for abroad, nearly twenty years ago. He played in the famous Our Boys team, Dundee, and so enthusiastic was he over the game that he used to walk in from Long(organ,

You are also aware, according to information which is, believe, authentic-that one of which has appeared in the public Press-and these ships, the Smolensk, stopped and search ed, but did not detain, a British ship in the neighbourhood of the Cape of Good Hope.

It appears that neither the Russian Embassy here, nor, I suspect, the Foreign Office at St Petersburg, were aware of the fact that the inessages which had been sent to those two
ships of the Volunteer Fleet for the purpose of preventing them from making any more captures had not reached their destination. It
was an unfortunate occurrence; but the Rus- sian Government have now requested us to send ourselves and convey a message to those ships, carrying out the pledges already given; and we have ordered two cruisers from the Cape
