Evidence in suppet of the charge was given by two officers of the Alarm and Sorgeon Botos of the flagship Wildfre. Mr. Madden deeled that he was drunk, and called two witnesses, who stated that he was sober. The Court coondered the charge proved, and ordered the prisoner to lose two years' seniorly and be dismissed his ship.
A Court Martial was held on board H.M.S,

ANNUAL LICENSING SESSIONS.
The Annual Session of the Licensing fastices was held to the Justices' room at the Ma- gistracy at noon lo-day for the purpose of con aldering applications for spirit licenser for the next year,
Mr. H E. Wodehouse (Police Magistrate) pre- | sided, and the following justices were present:- Meisis. C. S Sharp, G. T. Velich, Dr. F. Clark, N. J. Ede, Finlay Smith, C. V. Ladds, Dr. Herilgan, F. H. May (Captain Superlatendent of Police) and W. M. B. Aitbar.
Mr. Sharp spoke about the adulterated liquor
that a report should be made to the Government, Mr. Wodehouse—I do not know that we can do anything to-day about what you mention. If that is the case I will very probably bring the matter before the Government but our meeting to-day is for the consideration of certain applies tions for licenses and antess there is something against any house for selling such liquors as you mention I do not think we can deal with it to-day. I think it is a very proper thing for the Justices to take up if they wish to.
that was dally sold by licensees and suggested
Mr. Velich-Is this a question of the quality of quer? I remember that the same subject was brought up five years ago and it was taggested that she committee of the fastices should go round and try it. (Laughter),
Mr. Edo said that he thought that there was law under which sellers of adulterated liquor 'could be proceeded ugalast.
Mr. Wodehouse--That is for the Police to take up.
Dr. Clark said that adulteration with water was, an a matter of fast, beneficial to the consumer, The spirit sold here was crude spirit which had only been made a short time. In Canada, he believed, liquor could not be sold unless it had been made twelve maths. If that could be adopted bera it would be all right.
Mr. Wodehouse-Then I undertake to say that the remarks at this meeting shall be reported to the Government.

Mr. Wodehouse after reading iko deñaltion of delteration in Sec. 2 af. Ord. 21 of 1886, id-Well, gentlemen, we might proceed now and your remarks will be brought to the antice of the Government. I think we will have an informal meeting afterwards to see li there any resolutions to be made.

HOW TO BE POLITE,
There are many people in Hongkong who should take a lesson from the courtiers of Korea, who excel to the art of atj;ct adulaston and Brandiloqueni fudge. The Royal Seoul Mutual Adulation Society might rend somebody here la gave a course of lecturer. The Independent thus "translates the documents relating to the kirg's promotion to the title of Emperors-
The Prime Minister's memorial ronds ** follows:-"The classics state that whenever one's glor and righteousness become 18 great as heaven and earth he la called Emperor.
Three Emperor of prehisto:lë age and fire. Empero 1 of later years were considered equal to heaven tacit for their goodness and grace. They had been called Emperors on account of their great- best. No one ever surpassed them in goodness,
once their titles were the highest.
Unsor. parable merlis must be honoured with the great. est digally, It was upon this pilnciple that the salaily Emperors and enlightened kings accepted the higheri honour as they considered it to be the loseparable principle of natural and human laws. We have alrendy Informed your May of these facis 'on previous occasions, but your Majesty did not approve of our suggestions. We are therefore much depressed in spirit.
"Stace the beginning of our dynasty the country had been ruled consecutively by saintly and holy Kings for five hundred years, and the country enjoyed peace and enlightenment. The Ceremonial solemnly, musical barmony, legal Justice, and gracefulness of costumes from the Emperors of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, always maintaining the same perfect standard | with gilatening glory and graciousrituals. Qar country is the only sation which has preserved true spilt to these lines.
"Your Majesty's enlightened thoughts, chivalrons disposition and grandeur of wisdom surpass the hundred monarchs of the world. Your natural charsetes equals the workings of Heaven above and earth beneath. Your greatness and goodness have reached holy light. You expound the teachings of the three Emperors and inherit the ideas of five Emperors; Steca your coradation your goodness and beneficent fafloence have been felt everywhere for three decades, and your ruling has been in accord with the split of the classics. Of fate years the country experienced trambles and dangers, bat through your Majesty's goodness the foundation of the country, became again secure and the multitudinous confusions "gave way to order- nees and righteousness. The future at the dynasty has been transferred from perilous ground to solid rock, and prosperity has replaced anxley and worry. The establishment of in- dependence and maintenance of freedom are solely due to the mereliul help of Heaven and to the continuation of your glorious career,
"According to the international law; all sovereiga prfaces or States may whatever tiles of dignty they think fit, and may exect from their own subjects these marks of honour. But their recognition by other States is not a master of strict right, especially In the case of new titles of higher dignity, assumed by sovereigns. Therefore there have been foxtances when certain countries, aller assuming new titles, received recognition from other countries at different periods, that to say some recogelzed them first and athers latex. The right of recognition is with others and the right of assuming new titles is with us. So it is not necessary to obtala their consent first and then assume the title,
it as eas eror befits your honout and dignity, Your Majesty's goodness and enlightened suling ale as great as Heaven; therefore the highest also it is the proper way to indicate that your Majesty conlanes the greatness of Emperors Pokki, Shinlong, Ye and Sun, and the dynas- lies of Han, Taug.
