THE RISK AND PROGRESS OF THE SOCIETY,

The objects of this institution are most highly commendable, and at the laying of the founds tion sions in January last, His Excellency expressed his great pleasure at being in any way connected with such an admirabla mare. ment, in his address on that occasion the Governor made some remarks on the origin and success of the Society. He explained that some 17 years ago public attention was exiled by the Chief Josilca to the evil practice of kidnapping, which was rampant in the Colony, and of selling the kidnapped women and children as if they were mere chattels: The principal Chinese residents, impressed with this scandalous state of affairs, memorialized the Governor, and through him the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and they asked for permission to form

an association for the purpose of suppressing this tertible aime; of protecting women and gizle, and of restoring those who bad been kid- napped to their friends or relations. This per mission was granted, and the Commilles of the Tang Wa Horphial placed at the disposal of the society a portion of their hospital for the tem porary accommodation of the destitute women and giris rescued from their terrible fate. During the four years eading in 1891 no less than 3,731 persons had been dealt with by the Society, and from 1888 to the end of 1895 the large number of. 5.543 persons bad bean rescued, the greater number of whom have been sent to their homes

TIME,

It is sailsfactory to note that though na hopa is in sight our Hongkong filands still contiene to vallacily protest and fight against the Cable Compuntes increase of rates, and by puiting themselves, through the Chamber of Commerce, lato communication with powerful friends la other parts of the world with the object of bring- ing pressure to bear on the companies or of moving their bowels to compassion by the force of anremitting outcries, they are still working bravely for cheaper "telegraphic rates. But seeing how little encouragement they have received from the Some Government and bear log also to mind the cart sunb administered In one of the most recent letters of the British Minister, at Peklog, we fear that the con- tinuance of the agitation in its present form against the extortion of the Cabin Companies cannot result in any amelioration of the hopeless condition of the public who support these insatiable corporations. But there is another commate branch of the question which we fancy people in Hongling are disposed to lose sight of, though it may at any time turn out to be of supreme importance not only to the colony but to the British Empire at large. Wa refer to the Formosa cable, connecting the newly acquired Japanese possession with Sharp Peak, close to one of the cables of the Exitern Exten- sion Company. It will be remembered that shortly after Japan took over Formosa a dispute arose between the Tokie and Peking Govern- ments respecting the ownership of the Formous cable. We believe the question is still unsettled,

As our readers are aware, a new Commercial Treaty between the Netherlands and Japan has recently been signed at the Hague by the dele- gales of the respective Stater, and in calling THE Undersigned has received lostractions attention to this a writer in the Morning Post remarks that to the Dutch there must accusa certain grim irony in the turn of events in the Far East which has led to the admission of Japan among the brotherhood of progres is at Stater, and which will further result in the opening, within a very belef space of time, of the whole of the Japanese Empire to foreign trade without distinction or exclusion. For, bad not been for the trickery of the Dutch East Indis Company in the first instance, and the subsequent rapacity of the local "Head-merebant and negotiator," to whom the Amsterdam mer- chant adventurers commlited the management of their affairs in Japan, that interesting land would in all likelihood have admited alt foreign. ers to unrestricted Intercourse within its limits a century ago; and Holland, Instead of belog last and least in the esteem of the Japanese, and literally nowhere in the Japanese trading marts, would have ranked first and foremost among the hattens of the Wert having political and com- mercial relations with the blard Empire.

Regarding the cost of building the Home, His Excellency, on the occasion referred to, said that the Chinese residents had subscribed amongst themselves the handsome sum of $30,000 towards it, and the Government, recognizing the silly and value of the Society's efforts, added a farther sum of $20,000. It was impossible to san such an Institution on European lines or ander Enropean management, and the Fo Leung Kek Society had proved itwell worthy of confidence.

The designs for the new building wars drawn up by Mr. A. Denison, the well-known architect, and the building was erected by the Wing Oa firm of contractors.

THE MASSACRE AT THE

·SOLOMON ISLANDS.

!

THE CAPTAIN OF THE "ALBATROS" EXPLAINS.

In recent Issues we gave full, reports of the shocking massacre of a number of Austrian scientists and some members of the crew of the Austrian crolzer Abatros on one of the Solaman

islands. We have given the first reports of the outrage, and we followed that up with the official (consular) report of thle and affale. It will be remembered that the latter report held out no hope of the Albatros calling at Sydney alter landing one of the injured man (who soon diad) at Cooktown. We now find in the Sydacy Daily Telegraph of the rath ultimo, which came to hand by the Airlia the day before yesterday, a letter addressed by the Captain of the Albatros to our Sydney namesake on the subject. It reads as follows

COMPETITION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND JAPAN.

WHY ENGLAND "FEARS" JAPAN. The following is a summary of several keticies which appeared a short time ago in one of the leading Tokio newspapers on the subject of commercial competition between England) *** and Japan:--

The period to receive instructions from Europe and America has passed away, and the time to Lesch then has come. The day of dependensy on the manufactures of other countries has gone, and the ilme to supply them with our own manufactures has arrived. The epack at which we stood in feng of them is succeeded by one le which they stand in dread of us. When Young Japan takes her fall part on the great stage of the world, Russia and England are the two countries with which she will come into coillalon as representativca of Western Powers; one from a military point, the other as a commercial Power.

Up to a few years ago the distance between them and us was considered grent, but now, so far as interests are concerned, we are in close proximity to them.

My Imperial Government, having given per mission to furnish'the newspapers with particulars of the accident at Mount Tatube, an elevation near Lion's Head, in the Solomon Islands, I take the opportunity during a short stay lo Sydney, previous i my departure for Zurops, to address you on the subject as follows:-The narrative given by Mr. Maben, as published in the Sydney. Morning Herald, is strictly correct, that gentis of the Acting Deputy Commis man--companlan sioner, the Han, C. M. Woodford-having col- lected his information on board of H. L. M. S.

Woodford, coming from Florida in the schooner Warows, arrived in Toters, and paid me a visit just at this critical time, and I had the wivilege of his valuabin counsel and axolsfance, I invited him to take part in the projected expedition to Mount Lamas one of the principal mountains in the Islands (Bcolt, high), which kir, Woodford, who is a well-known naturalist, and the enthusiastic describer of the Solomon Islands of former days, gladly accepted.

On play being resumed the Garrison obtained free kick from near the Club's left corner which was quickly converted into a goal by Roweroft, placing them ahead of their opponents by 1 point. The Garrison, then took two corner kicks in rapid succession, when Kew sent the ball well up the Geld and Mayson passing to Deacon a good tusk up was made, bot was unsuccessful. The Garrison, then got on the Club's end, but Kew was too smart and with a'smart kick returned it. A determined attempt was then raade by the Garrison but Gillingham, who had gone into goal at half-time, by a quick catch and drop Lick saved the goal, The Garrison then obtained a corner and the Club goal was only saved by the clever manner in which Gülleghan fixed the ball out. The ball was quickly returned but Gillingham again saved what appeared to be a cestato goal by fisting the ball over the bar. Shortly after this the Garrison came up with a rush and scored their third and last goal. The Club then freshened up and took the ball well down to the Garrison's goal which had a corner kick. The Club had, however, bucked Barrow escape from being rushed," after up too late, for the whistle put a stop to the game, leaving the victory in the hands of the Garrison by three goals to one

The Clab team seemed to go all to pieces directly the Garrison scored their second goal, and from then to the finish, although some fine Individual play was shown, they did not work sufficiently together to mendmatters. Mayson, Deacon and Looker were particularly noticeable from their fine and unselfish play forwards, the latter being invaluable to the Club on account of his clever and powerful kicking. Wood and Gillingham are excellent in goal and Kaw as a back is most useful.

The Garrison team played a splendid game throughout, never missing an opportunity," Bo- den, Thresher, Alexander and Roweroft worked well at forwards and it may be added that the Club evidently felt the effect of Davies playing against them.
