The Prospects of Peace. THE INTERNED WARSHIPS.
LONDON, 23rd August. The correspondent of the Morning Post, at Portsmouth, wires that the treaty of peace which will be signed shortly provides for the payment by Russia to Japan of a sum, which will not be a large one, for the keep of the Russian prisoners and wounded, and for the cession of the southern half of Saghalien to Japan. The claims concerning the interned warships, and the limitation of Russia's naval force in the Far East, will be abandoned.

THE VERDICT.
Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty? -Guilty.
There was a start in Court. From the set faces of the jurymen had been felt that the verdict was against the prisoner, but it was a shock nevertheless after the long strain.
The Foreman-I would like to add a rider:
The mild sensation of the week has been the declaration by the Langkat Co. on the 16th | just, of an interim dividend of Tis, 2.50 payable on the 15th September. For business people with ordinary acumen this meagre result of three months working does not come as a sur- prise at all, but for the large section of the community who does not go to the trou- ble of going into figures this result must have been distinctly disappointing. There was on immediata and natural drop of twenty points, in the price on the 16th inst, and a fair amount. of business has been done at the following rates: Tls, 182.30 and 160 for cash, Th. 182, 181,50, 183 and 155 for August. Tis. 183, 170

MAGNANIMITY,
The Attorney-General rose immediately. Permit me, he said, to suggest that, in all the circumstances, if your Lordship can see your way, in addition to any punishment you may think it fitting to impase, to add the alternative of a fine.

Certainly as far as bulk goes the eight large volumes placed on a shelf look imposing enough and must be admitted to be a truly monumen- tal work. But the translation as examined by later and riper scholarship appears to be one- sided and is calculated rather to mislead than guide those who seek to understand the Chinese and their character. He tried to do Confucius justice but his profession forbade him to bestow upon Confucius the due which secular persons ungrudgingly give him. Ether- wise he would not have written "I hope I have not done him injustice, but after long study of his character and opinions, I am unable to re- Lard him as a great man. He was not before his age, though he was above the mass of the officers and scholars of his time threw no new light on any of the questions which have a world-wide interest. ile gave no impulse to religion. He had no sympathy with progress. His influence has been wonderful, but it will henceforth wane. My opinion is, that the faith of the nation in him will speedily and exten. sively pass away.

THE BATTERY PATH CASE,
CLOSING SCENES,
The shades of night were falling when the Chief Justice, Sir Francis l'iggott, commenced his summing up yesterday in the case of Aaron Ellis, charged with the manslaughter of Richard Sampson, a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, The Count-room was crowded; soldiers at the door, prevented the auditorium being packed as it was on the previous day. To reach the rear entrance, which is devoted to the use of the judges,

The Chief Justice-Have I the power to indicate where the fine should go?
The Attorney-General-Pam afraid not. The prisoner was told to stand up.
THE SENTENCE.
There was a buzz of excitement in. Court which was calmed immediately.
The Attorney General-You must add an alternative, my Lord, otherwise if the fine was not paid the prisoner might linger on in prison indefinitely.
The Chief Justice-What would you suggest The Attorney-General-Six months impri-
sonment.
The Chief Justice-Then the sentence of the Court is that you be fined $500, or in default six months' imprisonment. I would also sug gest that some consideration should be paid to the family of the deceased.
The Court-mom was deserted in ten seconds. There was no demonstration whatever. The large crowd in the street melled away like snow in the sun.
The fine was paid.
Legge recanted writing the above quoted para. graph and in the Oxford edition of the Classics changed his opinions entirely.

In 1873 he left China for good to remain in England, after completing nearly forty years' work in the East. He was presented by the Chinese of Hongkong with a chaste silver tablet (which is illustrated in the book) as a mark of the esteem in which they held him. His China friends wishing to see him continue his Chinese studies founded a chair for him in the Univer- sity of Oxford, Here Legge led the life of a quiet scholar, simple and kind. "Next to WING to false and greatly exaggerated China," he wrote 10 a friend "Oxford is the

When five o'clock came, and it was clear that the Judge was on the point of ending his address to the jury, the excitement was keen. Specia- tors who had sat in Court six hours on end, in a stifling heat, leaned forward to catch the almost inaudible tones of the Judge's voice, The fans had been stopped, so that his Lord. ship's voice might reach the jury-box,' but still it was a strain to hear the words.

The Chief Justice, in summing up, asked the jury to disabuse their minds of all preconceived notions and asked them to limit their minds to the main issues, leaving aside all extraneous, although he would not say irrelevant, mallers, They had to consider in this case whether the homicide was excusable or justified. They had not to consider whether the person accused was guilty of manslaughter, but whether he did the act which from its consequences the law concluded to be the crime of manslaughter. The Chief Justice proceeded to recite the main facts of the case, and submitted the following questions and explanations to the jury :—.
1. Did the death of Gunner Sampson result from a fall on Battery Path causing a fracture of the skull ?
2. With what intent did the prisoner pursue the deceased up the Path?

A FAMOUS SINOLOGUE.
Aliss Helen Lexke has performed a filial duty in publishing this book. The lare Dr. Leggeings of Confucius, life and works of Vencius, was a man of such noble character, calm wisdom, and profound learning, who did so much for Oriental scholarship, that an account of his life is bound to be interesting and of great value But Miss Legge does not appear to know much of the work of a biographier. For instance she does not tell us what his father's ancestry is. His personal characteristics, child
Perhaps out of deference to her father's modesty she did not wish to say much of these but she allowed the book to contain many illustrations of places and scenes visited by the late profes. or. These are quite appropriate in a book of travel but decidedly out of place in a piece of biography. Again of the 244 pages which con- stipte this volume a good many pages contain matter of intern only to the family and friends of Dr. Legge, while the space allotted to the literary and linguistic labours of the sinologue, is comparatively small. It must be stated, how- ever, that the book was originally written as a labour of love for private circulation alone and as the preface explains to have dealt ade- quately with the literary side of Dr. Legge's career would have taxed the time and energy of a scholar vened in the language and thought of China." One must therefore overlook these little defects in the book and consider it on the whole as worth reading, says the Singapore Free Press.
He duly presented himself before the Direc (4.)

To his immense joy he was pronounc- ed fit and perfectly sound. This doctor was afterwards widely known as the famous Sir William Jenter.

If your finding is in accordance with (5.) be fere you can determine the question of guilt there are certain other, considerations to be taken into account..
Legge thereupon started for the East, but as China was not yet open to Europeans he was ordered to go 10 Malacca and become the principal of the Anglo Chinese College al- ready started there by Dr Robert Morrison (1782-1831).

In short, no Euro- penn has done more to make China and her people better known than Dr. James Legge, If we except such living sinologues as Prof. H. A. Giles, and Prof. E. H. Parker, his books on Chinese subjects are indeed the finest
monuments ni close scholarship. If he had been a layman and refrained from making ex parte comments and criticism in his transla tions, not justified by facts, Legge could cer- tainly claim and would have earned the ucdy- ing gratitude of the whole Chinese nation.
