RAISING RAILWAY FARES.
It is confidently reported that the fares on the Government railways will be raised shortly, It is proposed that fares for 50 miles and under shall be raised by 20 per cent., beyond 50 miles
П
progressive reduction in the rate will be made for each 100 miles. For the maximum distance Thres will even be a little lower than those now in force, The Government estimates that it will obtain some Y1,300,000 additional revenue by the alteration,
THE KASAGI KAN," News is published to the effect that the responsibility for the nccident to the Katugi Kan rests entirely on the pilot who was in charge of the vessel, and that the repaire-which are not of much consequence-will be performed with- cut any cost to Japan, Neither will any delay be caused in the matter of shipping the arma ment.

COTTON YARN,
The total annual production of cotton yarn In Japan le generally computed at 650,000 bales, aud the home demand at 450,000 bales,. leaving 200,000 bales which must find a market abroad. These figures, however, appear to be inaccurate. The export of cotton-yas this year would seem to have already exceeded 100,000 bales, as the export up to the end of October amounted to 185,633 bales, while more than 16,000 bales were exported in November, Nevertheless, yarn quotations still remain at a figure that is too low to give much, profit From this the Asakt concludes that the domestic demand for yarn is smaller than is generally supposed

NATIONALIZATION OF RAILWAYS.
The Political Commitice of the Liberal party has adopted a Bill for the nationalization of railways; and it is to be considered át a forth- coming general meeting of the Liberal mom.
. Among those present were Mr. Byron Bren an, Consul General for Great Britain, Mr, Vice-Consul Ker, Mr. C.J. Dudgeon, Chairman of the China Association, and Mrs. Dudgeon M. W. V. Drummond and Mrs. Drummond, Lady Hannen and Miss Hanner, Dr. Morrison; Peking correspondent of The Times, Mr. J. O. F. Bland, the local representative of the same Journal; had the Chinese guests were Combers of the Diet. The principal points, of the mander H of the Chinese gunboat Nansha; Bill are as follows FAN MADE Mr. Fung Yee; the Tactar's Secretary; and Mr. That the Government shall purchase the Tseng Ching-1, editor of the Chincae Univer sal Gascite.

Lord Charles Beresford was to leave Shang hat for Hongkong via Foochow on Sunday last and will be accompanied by Dr. Morrison Tae gallant Admiral will return to Europa by way of Japan and America,

2.That the purchase shall extend over a period of five years,
3That the amount offered for the purchase of the two milways be 160 million yenORA 4That a domestic loan be raised to defray
peace treaty of Paris. The question for the Foreign Office merely is this, to see whether under the new arrangements England stands as she did before-with perfect freedom of trade in Sulu, Palawan, and Balabac. Is the condition of things between England and Sulu and its dependencies, Palawan and Balabac, to be continued as under the Protocol of 1877, or will there, under the new arrangements, be duties placed on British goods as there are now with the United States? Is England to lose something, and is there to be another graceful concession?
The Spanish have sought to assume sovere ignty over them often, but the British persis- lently refused to recognise the Spanish claim over the group, and in 1877 the Protocol was. signed accuring freedom of trade in Sulu to England and Germany, In 1878 Spain forced the Sultan to become her subject, and paid him a pension of $2,400. The Spaniards have a sctilement on the island of Suly, situated on an unhealthy swamp, and garrisoned by Soo soldiers, and there are smaller settlements on other three of the islands.
