No, I was there in 91, again in 95, and again in '99,

You have no fear of undertaking your long journey

Hearon as I am for any of the perils of this earth. God protect me and you.

Striking Rescript

ST. PETERSBURG, March 3.The Em- peror has addressed the following Rescript to the Minister of the Interior

True to the ancient custom of the Rus- sian people of expressing its feelings to the Throne in the days of joy and sorrow for the Fatherland, the nobility, Zemstvo assemblies, commercial associations, and peasant communities offered from all parts of Russia pumerous congratulations on the birth of an Heir to the Throne, with pressions of their willingness to sacrifice their fortunes for the successful termina tion of the war, and to devote all their strength to the establishment of order in the State.

In my own name and in that of her Majesty, I order you to convey to them our hearty thanks for the expression of their loyal feeling, which, in the present grave times, is all the more pleasing, as the

sion of their willingness, at my call, to co-operate in the successful execution of the reforms announced by me, and is entirely in accordance with the wishes of my heart,

My desire is to attain the fulfilment of my intentions for the welfare of my people by means of the co-operation of the Govern munt with the experienced forces of the community, and continuing the work of my #rowned ancestors to retain undiminished the Russian land and to maintain order.

'I am resolved henceforth, with the help of God, to convene the worthiest men possessing the confidence of the people, and elected by them, to participate in the elaboration and consideration of legislative

measures.

Taking into consideration the peculiar circumstances of the Fatherland, the mul tiplicity of its races, and in certain parts of the country, the weak devolopment of citizenship, the Russian rulers, in their wisdom, instituted reforms in accordance with their mature requirements, but only.

in logical sequence.

At the same time, considering the con- dinuation of the firm historical tics with the past as a pledge for the durability and stability of the present, in undertaking these reforms. I am convinced that the local needs, experience of life, and well-weighed und sincere speech of those elected will assure fruitfulness to the legislators for the real benefit of the people.

The logic of facts seems to have con- vinced the Chamber of Commerce of Johannesburg. In a telegram to a London paper on March 3 it was stated that that body had issued a series of statements showing that the increase of trade in the district with which it is concerned was directly due to the presence of Chinese labourers in the

It is not our policy to refer to the actions of our contemporaries, but we cannot refrain at present from remarking that the junior morning paper is endeavouring to take credit to itsolf which is neither deserved nor just. In Tuesday's issue the assortion was made that the information as to the coming of the Baltic floot was exclusively announced in the South China Morning Post on Monday. That is not a fact for in Saturday's CHINA MAIL will be found a cablegram from Singapore announcing the coming of the fleet through the Malacca Straita. Again, to-day, the Post pats itself on the back for exclusively aunouncing the fact that the Russian fleet. was bound for Saigon. As a matter of fact an editorial in the CHINA MAIL dealt with the day before any that question reference regarding it appeared in our overgelio contemporary. We take no credit for that, however, nor did we need any good authority' to inform us, as it was obvious to the most ignorant that Russia would at least, lift her cap to her ally's colony if she did not go so far sa to accept its hospitality.

THE JAPANNING OF CHINA.

Feelings in the Fukhien Province.

(From a Correspondent),

AMOY, April 6. The repeated victories of the Japanese over the Russians are at length beginning to make a deep impression upon the Chi- ness in this region. A year ago nearly everyone that one met was decidedly in favour of the Russians and the hope was openly expressed that they would be victorious in the war being carried on in the north. The Japanese, unfortunately, had made a very bad impression upon the people of this region by the stern measures they were compelled to adopt whilst subdu-- ing Formosa. Like the Russians, tho natives of that island entertained only the most profound contempt for a people so small and apparently so insignificant, as the Japanese appeared to them. It was only by a series of vory sharp lessons that they were brought to understand that they were face to face with a fores that they had no power to withstand.

The stern methods, however, Book. deep into the hearts of the

since 1900 and well marked at the end of 1903, became more prononaced as the war went on, and must be held accountable for some, at least, of the stagnation prevalent during 1904, it la probable that it was a potent agency in restricting the export of Chinese produce, and thereby increasing the so-called adverse balance of trade. Among Imports we find that textiles, a third of the whole, alone show no expansion, fact dus directly to the inflated cost of the raw material. The various causes have had their influence in producing the depres sion which characterised certainly

the first nine months of the year, but among all other causes the fluctuations in exchange must not be lost sight of. Trade can adjust itself to a low exchange or to a high ex change, or even to a shifting exchange, if the movement can be foreseen; but a state of things which introduces the element of gambling into the business of every day, makes it impossible for a merchant to estimate the amount in one currency which will give him a profit in another, and which may even make it doubtful if a profit actually realised in one currency can be safely landed in another, all this increases. the coet of trading by enforcing the wisdom of large margins, and by so much acts as a restraint on trade.

A diagram is published showing the

course of exchange-giving the annual

average equivalent of the Haikwan tacl of silver in English gold currency and in Chinese copper cash-for the last 25 years, 1870-1974; it also shows the extremes of fluctuation of sterling exchange during the past two years.
