ROUND THE EMPIRE.

The World announces:--

With a view to assisting those of our readers who are interested in the problem of Imperial Defones, the editor of The World has arranged for a series of letters which are to be written by a member of The World's staff from the pariu- commercial cipal points of strategloal and importance along the main highway round the Papiro. The outward journey will be by the Mediterranean tea, Suez Canal, and Adon, to Singapore, Hongkong and Shangbai; thongs to Japan, and back to England through Canada, For the purpose of the lotters it is not proposed to go off British territory, or that belesging to, or under the political control of, our Japanese Allien-the British Battlements in the Treaty Forts of China being regarded as part of our territorial Empire, inasmuch as the Kug's mab jects, while living in the settlements, come under the jurisdiction of their own cousals, and are not amenable to Chinere law.

A quantity of pearlsbell and a small quantity of diring astucial was found underuith the flooring.

The two Malays are in custody as prohibited immigrants.

It turned out that one of the men made a statement to another coloured prisoner, with the resal that Mr. Mitchell, the Dutch Vico-Consul, obtained the following information.

At this Mrs. Pearson was justly angered, because, as a matter of fact, Mr. Pearson has turned his twenty-third birthday.
