Finally the speaker called his audience's at tention to dke fi fe weather, which, after several days' rain, convinced him that Heaven `favour- ed the'r enterprise.
THE BONFIRE
No sooner had the speeches concluded than the Chinese Volunteer band struck up, and amid a deafening din from crackers and bombs a light was sel to the stack of kerosene-soaked pipes. They burnt up fiercely, and whenever the fumes threatened to die down a lurther supply of kemisene was thrown over them. Thea glass lamp-covers, trays and other uten sils were thrown on top of the blaze, and not until the bonfire had nearly burnt itself out did the spectators leave the spot. The scene of the blaze, on the lawn by the waterside, has been used before now for demonstrations of the effectiveness of patent fire extinguishers, On this occasion it demonstrated the ruthless- ness of unchecked flames.

SMOKING CONCERT..
A very enjoyable, smoking concert was held teat evening at the Kowloon Catholic Club, when those present listened to an impromptu but well-appreciated programme. The concert was got up to inaugurate the formation of the Kowloon Catholic Club, which owes its origin to the efforts of the Rev. Fr. G. M. Spada and a few members of the community in Kowloop. The little hall was tastefully, decorated for the occasion, which was honoured by the presence of the Right Rev. Bishop D. Pozzani, who remained for a considerable time,

CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S UNEASINESS, La consequence of the energetic efforts of the Cintonese in carrying on the boycoti against Japanese in South Chios, the Chinese Goveroment views the situation with much ancasiness, writes the Peking correspondent of the N. C. D. News on 20th uit. It is said that the Japanese exporters are becoming seriously concerned also. The Waiwupu suggests that Prince Trai Châu, son of Prince Ching and lately President of the Ministry of Agri colture, Industry and Commerce, and Go verdor Tang Shao-yi should be sent to Canton to persuade the boycotters to desist Japfa has voluntarily offered to accept the friendly advice of Sir John Jordan to exercise greater vigilance where the question of arme running by Tapanese subjects is concerned, and, therefore, hope of a settlement is enter nined: Baren Hayashi, Japanese Minister to China, will have a farewell audience with the Empress-Dowager on May 1, and will retura to Japan shortly afterwards, it is reported that Mr. Juis, formerly Japanese Consul-General at Tientsin, will succeed Baron-Hayashi and that the return of the Japanese representative to Tokio is in consequence of the boycott. The Waiwups was compelled to settle the Tatru Maru care mainly, by the strong attitude of Mr. Hayashi, who caused, the Chinese authorities in Peking to fear that Japan intended to use the incident as a peg upon which to hang its resentment for the antitude of Chinese towards the proposed extedslog of the Imperial Railways of North China, and other unseitled Chino-Japanese Degotiations relating to Japan's interests in Southern Mancharia,
JAPANESE PRESS COMMENTS.
1 he comments of the Japanese Press on the boycott movement in China form interestleg reading, but it is rather surprising to find the Mainichi Dempo advocating the idea that representations should be made to the British Government because.certain Brijsbers may see fit to support the Chinese in their contention, remarks the Japan Chronicle. Surely the Tokyo journal does not think that diplomatic interven tion will interfere with merchants of any nationality taking advantage of circumstances to increase theis business. Besides, did not Count Okuma, in the course of his famous speech before the Kobe Chamber of Commerce in November last, ray that Indians were fomenting an agitation for the boycott of Euiopean goods and if the Japanese. failed to` avail themselves of the opportunity and go to Endia at the present moment they were dis appoisting the Indian people?
