FAR EASTERN AFFAIRS,
London, rath February, 1897. - MY DEAR Telegraph,—A long silence "from contes over which I had no control," should mean that I have mach to communicate. Since writing, many things have happened in the Far East which might call for comment, but they are of so important and public a nature that they cannot be discussed in a letter. The revolution in the Philippines and the execution of Dr. Rizal Is but the commencement of, or, shall I say, the continuation of what will prove to be a long struggle not only in that country but in the Pacific generally. The rash for the New World bas ceared and the "game of grab" across the Allantie is no longer the political power it was.
The interest of the world will be found in future to be transferred to the Pacific and it is in and around that vast scean that the foreign politics of the progressive and progressing nations will
Tospector Stanton sworn stated-At 5.45 pm. on the 15th lest. In consequence of information recurred I went to the Kin Sung boarding house, 48 Fraya Central, to the 3rd floor. There was the trunk; the bluges were drawn, but the cover was still on. I lifted the cover and saw the bloodstained blanket and the chopper and razor and some cloths with stains of blood. In Hiting up the tray I saw a corpse partly covered with a jacket and two pillows underneath the corpse. I saw a gash on the left side of the neck. On searching defendant we found in his waistcoat pockets täien anvelopes, one with a deposit receipt for $500 in the name of Chun Yee, and to the other two deposit receipts for $100 and $400 respectively in the same name. There was also purse containing five $30 bank notes, a parcel containing sa Japanese yen, mange themselves. Turkey is diverting Europe and another containing $15.80 cents in twenty in the mean time, but the decay of the Ottoman cent places. I informed the defendant that I charged him with murdering the woman in the Empire is pronounced; not so, though, with the trsak. I asked him his name and that of the people of the Pacific shores.

THE RUSSO"CHINESE RAILWAY.
ST. PETZASTURO, February xaib. A commission of engineers now holding sittings at St. Petersburg for the purpose of discussing technical questions concerning the construction of the Manchurian Railway under the presidency of the chief engineer, M. Yago- vlich, will icare St. Petersburg for Manchuria about the middle of March. "The rest of the year will be spent in completing surveys. There will be considerable work iin tunnelling at both ends of the line, especially on the eastern section towards its junction with the Usurf branch of the Siberian Railway. Although the arifeles of association fix next August as the latest time for beginning work, the actual construction of the line is not likely to be commenced before 1898.
The Eastern Chinese Railway Company as contracting for about 15,000 tons of sails annually during six years, and will probably order several steamboats and a large number of barges for the river Sungai The Increased number of boats belonging to the two Amur steamship companies are still unable to cope with all the demands created by the new altation. The Sungari, if not too shallow for heavy gords, would be the best channel for transporting rallway material from the Amur an to the route of the line through Manchuris. If possible, the Manchurian flas will be begun at both ends, hat unless the Sungari can be used as suggested there will be some difenity in Retting the necessary material on the spot, especially as the Transbakal saction of the Siberian Kallway, of which the Manchurian line will be a continuation eastwards, will not be completed for some time to come, It will be castce probably to transport the ralls and begin from the eastern and at Nikolak
A sufficient number of native labourers, it is expected, will be found in the country at very cheap rates. In all probability the surveylog and working parties will be escorted by Cossacks. In fact, travallem trom Siberia report that Cossacks have already been seen in the frontier settlemente on Chinese. territory. The company, however, say they will have no need of Cossacks unless their rights and property are seriously endangered and the police force which they are now taking steps, to enrol prove unequal to the occasion,

We are dally lacking for the opening of the West River and the settlement of the tranalt question connected therewith. We hope there is sufficient backbone in the British representa tive at the Count of Peking to see the speedy seitlement of the question, and that so, shilly- shally policy is to ob'ain in fatare. Great Bri- tain ought to declare her "sphere of Isficence" in Chine and decide upon maintaining her rights and her policy within the area the decides apon. Wera British residents in China called upon to define that sphere there is no doubt where the fines would be drawn. Although the North of China knows the weight of Briala's hand and the quality of the metal, it is not with these that she chiefly disports het heels. It is the region between Shanghai and Hongkong where her Interests essentially lie, and were the West River in the South, the Yangtzekiang in the North, with the great Hinterland as far as Barmah sed Thibet, pronounced to be the area within the sphere of her influence, it would help to settle Eastern mistters and best put foto words what is the truth in reality. No
protectorate" is needed; but were the Chinese Chowa to understand that Britain would permit no other Hangchow power to interfere in the control of that region it would give the Chinese a guarantee that their property would be safe, their interestsrespected, and their liberty easured. Nat is evidence lacking that to this pass matters must come. The desire to open the West River is one proof of such a feeling, and the warning to the Japanese by the British that the Yangtze kiêng was not to be blockaded or its ports bom. barded during the last way is a süll more material proof.

The most interesting news is that which case to hand to-day, and it has reference to the Tong Wah Hospital. At last, it would seem, modern civiliand ways are in the ascendant and the Tang Wah is following in the liberal lines laid down in the Chinese Hospital in Macao by admitting a countryman of their own trained in medical and surgery to practice within its walls. In Port-Wengkoti The twomen selected to co-operate with the Hospital authorities, namely, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Chang, are most opportune, and of all possible men to be sent to that trying past they are undoubtedly the best.

Capt. Barber argued in favour of Chinn buying ships to the United States. He was informed daring his Interview with the Yamen that Hung-chang had cabled when in the Ualled States, in response to a cable query of the Yamin, that as good vessels could be built here ne in Europe, hit that thay cast more. To this be arauered, it is true that the United States Government statistics show the cost of our vas. reis is in excess of these ballt in Europe, but this is largely due to the fact that the Govern ment has been anxious to stimulate the ship industry and has paid large bounties for great speed, etc. Now that they are well established, however, the American shipbuilders are ready and willing to compete with foreigners.
