THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.

Perhaps it is worth while to allude to an opinion which seems to prevail in come quarters, namely, that the garrison of Port Arthur is mrking 22 extraordinary defence. The gar- rison is certainly fighting bravely and stub bornly. It would be a poor business to withhold

NEW HOSPITAL AT SHANGHAI,

Recording the formal opening. on October 26th, of the new building for St. Luke's Hospital at Shanghai, the N.-C. Daily News said. There are six large rooms and fourteen smaller ones, containing altogether one hundred beds. The two operation rooms are fairly large, and are fitted with the most modern appliances recently received from the United States and England. Adjoining the hospital there is also a new building for the medical sohool. The native sta of the hospital consists at present of six trained nurses, and a house surgeon aud physician, both of whom are graduates of the medical department of St. John's College, Jossfeld. There is also a superiutendent of

the nurses.

It is significant of the wide interest taken in the institution that so many of the fittings and appurtenances have been presented to it by clubs or individuals. The commodious lift. for instance, hears the inscription. "Presented to St. Luke's Hospital hy the "Bottle Club of Philadelphia."

NEW PORCELAIN FACTORY IN KIANGSI.

A dispatch from Nanoh'ang, the capital of Kings province, reports that a syndicate of merchants connected with the porcelain industry in that province are going to establish a porcelain factory after foreige methods, in the vicinity of the famous Kintêhohen potteries, where all kinds of porcelain ware on foreign ak well as native models can be rapidly turned out by the adoption i foreign methods and appliances. Already agents of the syndicate are said to have booked large orders from merchants of inland cities, and it is confidently anticipated that as the manufactures. of this factory become better known in the interior there will be room, as time goes on, for many more similar factories.

THE COST OF WAR.

Ruasia's weekly expenditure of £1,097,250'on the war with Japan is by no means extraordin- ary. Indeed, should she succeed in keeping ex- penses down to this figure throughout the war sho will be fortunate. Our own war in Sonth Africa, the hill for which totalled the respectable sum of £211,948,000, worked ont at £1,500,000 week. The total cost of the Crimean war was about £313,000,000. Of this Russia paid £142,000,000, France £93,000,000, and Great Britain £78,000,000, the woolly expenditure for the three countries being, Russia £1,400,000 France £900,000, and Great Britain £700,000, Americo's successful struggle for independence cost the mother country £121,000,000, or just under £1,600,000 a week. France, however, bas had to foot the heaviest weekly war bill on record, the total cost of her terrible conflict with Germany, being £316.000,000, or over £7,000,000 a week..
