A POLITIC GOVERNOR.

The man to whom has been entrusted the administration of the colony. Dr. Goto Champei, seems wel itted for his task, both Without by temperament and ambition, previous official experience, he is certainly carrying forward what he conceives to be the imperial will with an assiduity betckaning s possible willingness to shine at Tokyo after be shall havó achieved acknowledged greatness at Tamsul: Whatever way have been the possibilities Bofore him in the field of medicine which he originally entered, he is missing no tricks in the game of politics. An instanco of his versatility was furnished at the opening of the us lockyard at Fooehow. That day hy Land Chinese, listeners. He devoted hitaself to them as if their interests had always appealed to him, on grounds both of personal sympathy

aud of national relationship. His speech as- reported classed the Chinese and Japaness as natural allies, who should join their oner-tes to preserve the Orient from the contamination of the white-skinned races. He alluded to the common origin of the two peoples, to similarities in their ziodes of life, in their religions and in their aspirations, and he declared that the great contest of the future would be for supremacy between the whito and the yellow races. It was slike the duty and interest of China and Japan, his argued, as nations of the same blood, to anite against the white peril now approaching both laods, and to subdue and drive it back. If he had been pleading with China to join Japan in waking war upon Europe, his lungnage could hardly have been stronger or ince sounded mors impassioned, according to those who heard it. With every allowance for the ocassion which induced the speech, his presumption on the ignorance of the audience he was addressing regarding the Chinese exodus from Formosa and of his instrumentality in forcing it, strack the Chinese as not lacking in audacity, whatever they may have thought of the other qualities of the speech. It seems incredible that anyone can delude himself respecting the Chinese aversion to things Japanese here, which are hated not less than they are feared. The exodus repre- sents the generat sentiment. Those who remain either cannot afford to go away or they are, putting off dopartars merely until they on dispose of their property intorests. In speechi among themselves they refer to the Japanese as hoang, meaning barbarians, or chihuan, raw barbarians, or less disrespectfully as wojia, little men or dwarfs.

DETECTIVE AND RICISE OFFICER. An interesting cross-summons case came on for hearing. Li Wah, a Chinese detective, and Jean Singh, an opium detective, charging each other with assault in the execution of

their respective duties.

The charge against the opium detentive was heard first. He was defended by Mr. Francis, K.C., who fendered a ples of not guilty

His evidence placed responsibility for the assault upon Li Wah, who he said struck hita three times on the chest with his haton. Defendant refusil to be searched, and assaulted the complainant when the latter attempted to arrest him.

Jewan Singh was then cross-examined at

some length by Li Wah.

His Worship asid he was quite satisfied that the assault was committed by the Chinese detective. The assault was absolutely unpro roked. Being a detective, Li Wab. the all plain' clothes men, would have to run the chance of being stopped and searched by an excise officer. The charge win a serious one, and Li Wah would be fined $25 or six weeks hard labour. Jowan Singh was discharged.

Like the Canten River dredger, the St. Enoch is of Scotch build, having been launched from the yard of Messrs. Simons and Co. at Renfrew, near Glasgow, for the Admiralty, little over six years ago. Slie was sent Portsmouth for her trials. which proved in every way satisfactory. From Portsmouth the St. Enoch went to Malta; thence, a little over two years ago, to Weihaiwel, where she has since been dredging. Her purchase by Messrs. Punchard, Lowther & Company having been completel, the vessel left Weihaiwei, on the 25th inst. for Hongkong.

Although, taken all over, the St. Enoch is smaller than the Canton River, she possesses, in the matter of dredging, a very important superiority over the latter. The Canton River works to a depth of 40 foot, while the St, Enech dredges to 40 feet light and 47 feet landed. The arrangement of her backets is also different from Eat of the Canten River. The latter ressel's buckets run out forward, but those of the St. Enoh run aft, and work at the rate of sixteen per minute. As each bucket (altogether there are about forty) his capacity of one ton: dredging is thus carried on at the rate of sizicen tons per minute. The St. Enoch bas n total currying capacity of about 650 tons.
