War Risks Insurance at Lloyd

Among the underwriters who make a special feature of the insurance of war risks, the general opinion, on the 1st of February (88ys the Standard), was it at the negotia- tions between Russia and Japan were ap- proaching a climax. Consequendy, there was inquiry for short period insurance policies against the declaration of war between the two countries, and several policies for periods of 15 days were issued, the rate being for this short period 30 to 35 quinens por cont. Insurances upon out- ward cargoes to Japan wore somewhat easier, as from the information to hand, it appears that the number of Russian war Vosgels between Aden and Japanese waters is very few, and it is not thought that the danger of capture of cargoes is now so great. On the other hand, a number of policies have been taken out covering the special risk of the British Government detaining steamers flying the British flag destination from proceeding to their

should it be either an East Siberian or a

Japanese port. This risk is considered to be, in many quarters, far greater than that of capture, as the Government would be quito within its rights in preventing all British vessels carrying coals or other munitions of war from delivering their cargoes at one of the ports of a belligerent Power. Considering this fact, under- writers are charging 20s. per cent, to cover this special risk on British vessels about to proceed to Yokohama and Port Arthur with coals.

FATHER-AT-r-r! So I saw you kissing my daughter, did I!' Young Cooley-* I trust there is no doubt, sir. The light was ra ther dim, and I should feel vastly humilia- ted if it should turn out that I had been kissing the cook."

For Sprains THE right time to treat a sprain is the minute you get it, and the right romedy to 080 is CHAMBERLAIN'S PAIN BALM. You can say what

will you about this or that thing being good for a sprain, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm beats them all. The quicker you rub it on, and the more you use it, the sooner the sprin will be gone. Even if Chamberlain's Pain Balm gets you back to work ono day quicker than other remedies, it will pay for itself several times, but it generally cures a sprain, strain, or a bruisp a week before anything else, and a week's wages amount to a good deal to most people. One appli- cation gives relief. For sale by all chemists and wedicine vendors; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.

Probable Naval Engagement.

LONDON, March 8.

It is believed that the Russian Vladivostock squadron was absent from the port when the Japanese bombarded it.

It is considered probable, therefore, that they will meet the Japanese squadron on their return, and will be compelled to give battle to them in the open sea.

THE ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR.

In a description of the fight at Port Arthur on February 23, the Kobe Chronicle says that the advance of the Hokoku-maru to the entrance of Port Arthur showed the pluck of the volunteers. Commander Hirose, in charge of the Hokoku-maru, advanced in face of a heavy fire from the eremy. He had reached the mouth of the harbour when his ship took fire and sank without the necessity of being scuttled. About this time, one of the subordinate officers, Kashi, was struck in the head. An- other officer was also hit while at his station. The volunters endeavoured to lower a boat,

The Japanese behind the wall waited in shelter until the Russians had advanced to within seven hundred metres, when the infantry opened fire. For a short time the enemy replied, but finding the tire too strong, retreated. Seven hundred metres is the range of the Japanese rifle, but it is believed the enemy lost considerably in dead and wounded, No casualties occurred among the Japanese.

There being no questions, the Chairman proposed the adoption of the report and statement of accounts as submitted.

Mr Purcell I have much pleasure in seconding the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. I don't think I can say anything more after your speech on the subject, except to congratulate the shareholders for possessing such a valuable property. I think we have every reason to be quite satisfied with the report. I am a very old shareholder and I have every confidence in the Directors and Manager for looking after my interests, and I do not see any reason for altering my position. We have earned enough to pay a bigger dividend, but I suppose that, with the expenses of the future looming up, and other expenses coming on, it would not be advisable to pay a bigger dividend for this year. I second the adoption of the report and statement of accounts and hope the good results will continue.

} THERAPION

This successful and highly popular remedy, as. employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rustan, Jobert, Velpeas, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

THERAPION NO. 1

in a remarkably short time, often a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injections, the use of which does irres parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.

Hongkong Tides.

The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au- tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa- ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charta which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean son level.

To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the hoight given in the table.
