NOTES AND COMMENTS, We note that the Shanghai Mercury of the 26th endorses the opinion expressed in these columns on Saturday last respectlog the existence of a far-reaching secret compact between Russia and China, and In the course of a carefully written leader which concludes with the pertinent remark "nonchalance of years is bearing Its natural fruit," states it has been evident for some time that a definite understand Ing had been come to between Russla and China regarding the consideration the former Power was to have for interference to prevent the cession of Lisotung to Japan. There seems to be something behind which is of International importance; and which we trust will receive that attention which It deserves. →
There is little doubt that secret negotiations have been going on between Russia and China regarding the actual cession, as a naval station, of the barbour of Port Arthur. The possession of Fort Arthur as a war-harbour would place Russia in an unique position, and give her Practical control of Northern China,
• Meanwhile the Russians in Vladivostock speak openly of the cession as a thing actually accomplished. At the moment, we learn from Tientsin, steps have been taken toward effective
..
D
possesssion, and there are now within the harbour no less than five Russian war- vessels, while nine more are cruising outside."
•
13
That Russian subjects should, in Russian territory, "speak openly of the cession can, we think, be taken, if there were any need of It, as conclusive evidence that China has conceded, Port Arthur to Russia, well knowing it would be promptly occupied and, of course, soon converted into an impregnable stronghold.

The boy lost his temper at the same time, and used unparlimentary language towards his late empleyer, which resulted in bis being taken before the Police Magistrale and bound over in two sureties of $25 each to keep the peace for six months.
Two men and a woman were charged at the Magistracy yesterday with selling a fifteen-year- old girl for an immoral purpose, and a woman was charged with baying her. The buying and selling was admitted, but the only evidence of the girl that she was to wear handsome clothes and immoral purpose being that the purchaser told
