Mr. Robert W.

2. Gader the Treaty made betwson Great Britain and China, negotiated by Sir James Mackay, a Bureau has been established by the Chinese Government at the Imperial Maritime Castone of Chias at the parts of Shanghai and Tientsin, sisa at Peking.

It is just probable that it is this negation on the part of the Japanese Government that the Timer Correspondent draw attention to, and tha result of this negation is that British and Foreign trade marks are imitated by many

An agreement between the British and Jap nese Governments as to the mutual protection of trade marks in China would tend to mitigate the evile now existing and which, according to the Times Correspondent at Peking, are likely to impair good fooling between Japan and those with whom she is allied.

a man who had a story fermenting in bia crauium, so we gave him a drink and a cigar, and induced him to tell us the following. The interjections are cut out as they are quite irrelevant.
When the fellow turned into the new Bail- way Rest House at Malacca, the Funny Man began, I knew at ones what he was. His face, hin clothes, his topee revealed him and his his- tory. He called for a strengah when he had barely reached the verandah, and, threw him- self into a long obair with that half-weary, hall-dignified war 80 characteristic of the white man in the tropics. I knew him for the Man with Options.
When his barang arrived from the station on one of those superannuated Singapore rickshan of which Malsoen boasts, my deductions were confirmed. There was the snamelled clothes case, beat Wolverhampton make, guaranteed air tight and damp proof, carying the usual labels in order of date and social descent, First came a first clues P. and label, getting indistinct now, and & Charing Cric, rather dirty; sud Cross one almost obliterated; then a N.

If a man in the East wishes to conceal his rusi, The Man with Options rose to see that all his he should wash off the labels from his luggage. barang had arrived. He was tall and spare- had been a strong man before he came out East. His Elwood befmet was spotlessly white and was adrned with a bine and gold puggares. He wore a white suit of the approved Singapo out, and Chinese-made white shoes A Castles cigarette dangled from his lips, and kis flagers betrayed incessant indulgones in the wood.
As he lay back reading a many months old copy of "Bketeb," I studied his face. It was clean-shaven and ruddy with sun and Scotch. There were lines from the mouth, and under the eyes week shaded hollows. The eyes were lost; fast, they were merely dark spots, without expression. His head was of bullet and bald. Dinner time was approaching, and it is not meet for a man to be alone in the Malacos Rest House. A gin pyte, therefore, served to Introduce me to him.
Going to Singapore? I queried.
Yes; intended to match the Perak at Fork Swettenham, but missed the train at Kanis Lamper. Had to come down and satch the Malacca here. Fortunate for me I did, too.
He looked somewhat mysterious.
