POLICE COURT.

Tuesday, 24th November. Barong MR. T. SELCOMBE SMITH (POLICE MAGISTRATE),

STOWAWAYS.

Five Chinamen were charged with stowing themselves away on board the ss. Lieu Kui at Singapore, and thereby obtaining passages to Hongkong, without the permission of the captain or owner of that steamer. They were

out to 14 days' hari hubnar.

Three other Chinamon were charged with a similar offence on board the as. Shenaro Maru, from Foochew, and also went to 14 days' bard

labour.

TRE PASSING.

Five Chinese, late employees of the Cotton Mills, were charged with trespassing on the promises of the Cotton Mills, against the urders of the proprietors, and refusing to leave when ordered to do so. They were fined $5 each with the alternative of 14 days, and to be exposed in the stocks for 2 hours.

They believe that the restless activity, commer ial and political, of the Englishman auf the Japaness, gombined with the astounding busi. ness genius of the American will make of Mon- shuria a busy live of industry in which the English tongue will be the lingua franca and in which the infrequent Russian trader will be stared at as an unknown and mys- torious visitant, while the Russian troops will left porched high and dry on the bleak rocks of Linotong like S. Simon on his pillar, nobody earing in the least whether they ure or come down. Such is the fate with the Russians believe they would be threatened by the fouling of Manchuria wi h tradors other than their own, and sooner than submit to such a fate and he laughed at for centuries honeo by the Chinese and the world generally for their enormous and unremuera- fireoutlay in Mancharia, and especially at Daley and Port Arthur, they would, I believe, be pre- pared to see extreme measures Yakon for their

ovie ion.

I need not point out, however, that the Russians are mistaken if they imagine that any foreign sution wishes to see them deprived of the fruit of their vast labours in Manchuria or that a via media may not ho icnad. There is also another side to the picture they draw of the irresistibl Anglo-Saxon advance, and that is the irresistibla Muscovite advance; but this site of the question has often been presented in your columns by abler pens than mine.

The redoublable Novi Krai has, then, come forward with the olive branch in its hand and aeke in a gentle voice, expressive of pained surprise, what all that noise is about, why those rude, warlike clamours? That is the latest development. The Port Arthur journal begins fis leading article on the Manchurian question with a qutation from the Chra Shimbun to the following effect:-The Emperor of Russia has now organised in the Far East a special form of government, calculated to develop Russian business and commercial interests. In our opinion this step dissipates the phantom of war and contributes to the maintenance of peace." The Novi Krai continues as follows This stormed organ of the Japanese Press is un- donbtedly right, and it is a great consolation to un to be able to cite its testimony on this subject in view of the fact that, the Japanese.
