The object of our present visit to Japan is not only to see the Osaka Exhibition, but also to investigate your gold standard system, the organisation of your banks and your regulations regarding the stamp duties and other taxes with a view to the cul- lection of necessary material in case China- wishes to adopt similar institutions in the
future.
The Chinese request that the foreign Powers consent to receive payment of the indemnity in silver instead of in gold has been rejected by the Powers, but the Peking Government has not yet laken any definite steps toward the solution of the question. Neither has the proposal for the collection of the Customs duties in gold been decided either way.
* As to the evacuation of Manchuria, the Chinese Governniont has negotiated with the St. Petersburg Government as well as with the Russian representative at Peking, insisting on the speedy withdrawal of their troops from the above territory, and has obtained an answer to the effect that Russia will fulfil, without 'failure, her promise contained in the existing Manchu- rian convention. Therefore it may be expected that the Northern Power will evacuate Manchuria after all.

A FEW OF THE
2,000 CONTRIBUTORS
TO
The 10th Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
Ever since its inception at Edinburgh more than 125 years ago, the Encyclopædi Britannica has not failed to command tho contributions of the foremost writers of the day. In fact, to be invited to contribute to its pagos has long been regarded by literary men as a great distinction. Now that the Tenth Edition (35 vols.) of this colebrated work has been completed, it is interesting to note that, while the list of contributors to the present edition includes a host of notable names in every sphere of contemporary life, an equally distinguished company of literary men assisted in the work of preparing the carlier editions. Among thoso we find the ramos of Dugald Stowart (who was paid £1,700 for a Philosophical Dissertation,' in the supplement to the fifth edition) Sir Walter Scott. Macaulay Arage, Malthus, Ricardo, James Mill, Hazlitt, Du Quincey, Sir David Browstor, Kingsley and Professor Owen. The Tenth Edition, which is necessarily the largest ever issued, engaged the services of more than 2,000 writers (British, Colonial, European, and American). The list includes the following:-

Note: The foregoing prices can apply only to the first impression of the Nor Volumes which The Times' has prepared in order to bring the original 24 volumes of the Encyclopædia Britannica up to date. An extraordinary demand for the Sup- plement has made it possible to offer the 35 volumes for considerably less than tha prices at which they can be sold hereafter. More than 30,000 persons at home who already possessed the early volumes have abs bed for the supplement, almost all of them in advance of its publication, so that The Times" was enabled to make one consecutive run on the presses, and thereby to effech a large reduction in mansfitur- ing cost.
Subscribers in China are for the moment, ou exactly the same footing as subscribers in England, but orders should be.rogistered promptly, as it will not be posst le to guarantee indefinitely the acceptance of orders in China at the London price with the additional concession of free carriage from London to Shanghai And Hongkong.

The convenient and well approved system of acquiring the Encyclopedia Britanotes by monthly payments has been tried by The Times, with great success, in all parts of the world, and it will now be extended to China. By this plan the subscriber pays 820 down, and $20 each month, on a given day, but he receives the entire set of 35 volumes upon receipt of the preliminary payment of $20. The number of monthly payments will vary according to the binding desired. as follows:-- $20 down and 17 payments of $20, for cloth.

A PORTUGUESE SLANDER CASE, A
NEWSPAPER'S MISTAKE,
The Court sat to-day to try a suit in which Francisco d'Assis Gomes sued Antonio Simplicio Gotnes, junior, for $20,000 clatnages for slander.
Upon His Lordship taking his soat, Mr Slade said-Before the Jury is called in this case, I would ask your Lordship's attention to a passage in the China Mail Last night where it states: At eleven 'clock to-morrow, before His Honour Sir H. S. Berkoloy, Acting Chief Justice, and Special Jury, a slander case will be tried in the Supreme Court. The
Francisco parties aro
d'Assis Goines (plaintiff) and Antonio Simplicio Gomes, junior (defendant); the plaintiff is repro- ented by Messrs Deacon and Hastings and defendant by Messrs Dennys and Bowley. The amount of claim is $20,000. and the de'endant has paid the sum of $200 into Court.' As your Lordsip knows well, Section 160 of the Code says: Where a or matter tried by the Court with jury no communication to the jury shall be made, until after the verdict has been given, either of the fact that money has been paid into Court or of the amount paid in. The jury shall be required debt or damages, to find the amount of as the case may be, without reference to any payment into Court.' I have no doubt

the plaintiff in this action and a partner in the firm of Brandao and Co. I started the firm about 40 years ago. I have held over 20 powers of attorney-all positions of trust.. I am also a director of the Steam- boat Company. There have been quarrels between myself and Dr Gomes with regard to money. I did not hear the slander, but after being told of it I could not attend to my work for about eight months owing to the pain of mind which I suffered. My reputation has been affected by the slander,
which has done me injury. and my friends appear to mistrust me,

I have held a high position in Hoogkong since 1857, when I came to the colony, and I seriously say that I have suffered owing to the slander. I in stracted my solicitors to write and ask for a moro public apology. I wanted an apology from plaintiff's father.
His Lordship-The father did not slan. der you.
Mr Sharp said that about nine o'clock on the 17th September last, the plaintiff's son was in the billiard room of the Portuguese Club, having a conversation on some trivial inatter, when the defendant broke in, but this matter of slander.

They talked together, and defendant told him about the quarrel that had taken place car lier in the evening with the plaintiff's son, Defendant was not excited, although in speaking of it ho became so, and was not, apparently, drunk. It was in the course of this reference to the quarrel with the plain. tiff's son that the slander was uttered.

In His Lordship Why didn't you accept bringing this action, the plaintiff hoped it ? to thresh out the whole matter, but the course adopted by the defendant prevented this. He admitted the slander and the falsity of it, and the matters before the Court were the defendant's actual intention in using these words and also the amount of damages the jury would award. Having addressed himself to the legal side of the case, Mr Sharpread the following particulars put in by the defendant with a view to the mitigation of damages, and denied the cor. rectness of defendant's statements as he read them ;-

His Lordship-What are you referring to? Mr Slade-Section 160 of the Code. I thought it right to call your Lordship's at- tention to this matter, more with regard to any future cases than with regard to this case that this practice of the newspapers of making statements from the pleadings which are not quite full might influence the jury.
His Lordship-I think that rule applies to practitioners. I don't think that it means that the paper cannot state-
Mr Slade-If there is such a rule, I think it is not proper for a paper to absolutely nullify the effect of the Code.
His Lordship What this rule means is that Counsel shall not inform the Jury after being sworn that money has been paid into Court. The intention is that the Jury shall not in any way be biased in feelings by a knowledge that the defendant has paid money into Court. I agree with you that the same principle should apply to prevent newspapers from making a statement in common with everybody else. In these circumstances, I feel sure the newspaper editor and publisher had no knowledge of the rule.
Mr Slade-I am quite sure it was made absolutely bona fide.
The defendant replied that it was better to be a beachcomber than the son of a thief,'

what was said is very vague, and he has no recollection of having uttered the words complained of, but does not dispute that he did so. That the defendant was drunk and in a violent passion was obvious to everyone present. Everyone who heard what the defondant said was fully aware that he was not speaking deliberately and that he did not seriously mean to make any charge against the plaintiff, but was talk- ing wildly in consequence of drink and passion. There is no foundation for any such statement. The defendant exceeding ly regrets that he should have uttered any such words. He unreservedly withdraws all imputations on the plaintiff's character an apologises for the abusive language which he uttered without reason while under the influence of liquor and of anger against the plaintiff's son.

Mr Sharp-I could not say it was going to that fund.

Mr Sharp asked the jury to award sufficient damages to compensate plaintiff for the injury done him.
Mr Slade, in his address, said that the plaintiff had made a strong point of the fact that ho did not want the money for his own purposes, but merely wanted his honor established and the slander stopped. Surely the best way he could have done that was to have accepted the offer of de- fendant to apologise. The case was one of a trumpery character, and it was m rely a waste of time to bring it into court.

he told me. Then he shouted in a loud voice Ile (meaning plaintiff's son as Tun derstood) is the son of a thief.' I stopped him and said, You should not say such things unless you can prove it,' or words to that effect. He repeated the statement again and added I can prove his father robbed my father of $12,000. I under stood him to refer to an old allegation that plaintiff had robbed Dr Gomes of certain shares.
Mr E. H. Sharp, K.C., Acting Attorney General (intructed by Messrs Deacon and Hastings) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr M. W. Slade (intructed by Mr E. A. Bonner, of Messrs Dennys and Bowley) for the defendant.
The following jury was enpanelled :--- Mesars E. A. Hewett (foreman), G. W. G. Harling, W. H. Wickham, W. S. Harrison, H. W. Bird, W. H. T. Davis and G. L. Tomlin.
Mr J. N. Goosmann was called, but asked to be excused from taking his place as n juror as Mr Gomes, the father of one of the parties, was one of the Directors of the Steamboat Company, of which he (Mr Goosmann) was Acting Secretary.
His Lordship agreed that Mr Goosmann should stand aside.
In opening the case, Mr Sharp read the ploadings, which were as follows: —
1. Plaintiff is a gentleman residing at 43 Caire Road, Victoria aforesaid.
2. The defendant is a mercantile clerk residing at Woodlands Terrace, Castle Road, Victoria aforesaid.

There was a close race for the second place. The rowing left a lot to be desired from an oarsman's point of view. In my opinion, it would have been better to have taken experienced oaramen sent. The advantages would been doubl. The crews would have better trained, and the men coxing would have had an opportunity of observing how men shapel what men deserved pushing forward, and what men required special tuition on fixed seats. There is a tendency in this colony to despiso *tubbing. No greater mistake can be made than to place a man on a slid- ing scat, before he has mastered the use of his one and knows how to swing his body.
It should be borne in mind by the juniors that in rowing, as in other sports, there is an etiquette to be observed. The business of a racing boat is to keep its course from start to finish, and any circus work, such as ing stage, should be soverely checked by leaving the course and rowing to the land-

4. In consequence of the said alander the plaintiff has suffered damage and has been injured in his credit and reputation. The plaintiff claims $20,000 damages. Mr Sharp proceeded to state the case to the jury. It was a very simple one, and the question which he thought the jury would find themselves obliged to consider would be the defendant's intention in uttering these words, It was not denied that he uttered them.
His Lordship The question will be not so much the intention as how the words were received and understood by the hearors.
Mr Sharp-That is perfectly correct, my Lord.
His Lordship-And what was the natur- al interpretation placed upon them by the bystanders under all the circumstances sur- rounding their utterance.
Mr Sharp-And the underlying malice: Mr Sharp proceeded to state that the plaintiff might, perfectly fairly and pro- perly have pressed his claim, for a large sam sa damages. The slander was a most serious one, but his client had not asked for vindictive damages. He did not want to put money into his pocket, and whatever damages were awarded he would hand over to a charity. But it was essential to him to stop this slander. It had injured him seriously in his business and in his reputation amongst his relatives and others who were ignorant of his private affairs, and had caused him and his family the
