LORD DORMER INTERVIEWED.
Lord Dormer passed through Hongkong the other day en route to England after fourteen months sojourn in the interior of Japan, this being bis fourth triptothat country. His connection with and knowledge of matters O lental may be said to have commenced during the Crimean War through which he served, and to have been fos tere 1 by a long subsequent residence in India and Burma. Ia-1868 he retired from the army after eighteen years of active service and two years afterwards he racceeded his father as twelfth Lord Darmer in the English peerage. A'ways an ardent naturalist, he has, aluce suc ceeding to the title, travelled over most of the globe in pursuit of his favorite science,
Lord Dormer is a great admirer of the Japan ese, whose language he both speaks and writes. and als recent travels in the lest-frequented parts of Nippon, to which he was enticed as a happy boating ground for his beloved tiger- beetles, gave him valuable opportunities for gauging the feelings of the rural population In the ertsis fo the history of Japan, R was, therefore, la considerable expectancy that our representative interviewed him, and

He was very much impressed, he said, with the patriotic fervour of the people. Every mea and woman seemed to feel that he or abs bada stake in the country. Everyone felt that to responding to the call to arms the people were. helping to put the stem of permanance on the new regime of civilisation which the country has adopted, and net metely inring honour of the battlefield. This all-pervading patriotism struck him as being to the very strongest contrast to the apathy with which the ordinary Chlorman, especially in South Chins views the present altus. tion. There seems to ka no Chineso nation, but only so many million Chinamen; the sense of salonailty is wanting, individually is supreme,
As an old soldier, Lord Dormer spoke admir. Ingly of Japanese military men, and of the administration of the army-of which he saw a' good deal-wis equally laudatory.
When the news reached here that Formors ag to be handed over to the Japanese great dignation was expressed by all classes, from the Governor down to the ubiquitous ricksha coolie in the flourishing town of Twatatla. The "braves" said they wanted to fight the Japs and would sasuredly dispute the ownership of the faland with the enemy and fight it out with them to the bitter end. The Governor hearing of this wired to Peking to obtain definite instructions and
