higlier, clapwhere, are naturally unruly and insubordinate, and the work is not efficiently done in consequence.
A good deal of sickness was prevalent during the year amongst the members of the staff which I take it was due in a great ineasure to the nature of the duties required to be performed. I was also temporarily incapacitated from duty upon several occasions owing to attacks of tropical disease,
Mr. May asked whether the Board had any information regarding the site of the new western market referred to by Mr. Ladds. Some months ago the Government consulted the Board and some of its officers on the sub ject, but they had heard nothing about the matter since.
Dr. Clark anid the Board had not been con. sulted at all in the matter.
On the motion of Mr. Osborne, seconded by Mr. May, it was decided to adjourn the con sideration of the report until the next meeting.

THE OPERATION OF THE NEW TREATIES.
THE OWNERSHIP OF LAND; EMPHATIC WORDS OF THE "JIJI." The Jiji has an article strongly urging that at this juncture Japanese should show them?- selves liberal and broadminded. Now that it is decided to throw open the interior to mixed re- sidence, our contemporary urges that foreigners in Japan should not be regarded as foreigners were in olden times. No discrimination should be attempted against them. Of course the restrictions prohibiting foreigners from holding shares in commerical undertakings will lose their validity as the result of the revision of the Treaties, except in cases were special legislation exists, but the law denying foreigners the right of owning landed property will even then rojnain in force. This, says the Jiji is absurd. Foreigners who settle in the interior do so in onter to abuin profits from trade, and whether they carry on business themselves or invest their capital in Japanese undertakings, they will first consider whether their profits be secure. Most businesses have some connec tion with land. For instance, railway and in- tlustrial concerns cannot be carried on inde- dent of the land. If foreigners are given the the right to carry on legal business, but denied rights over landed property, it is only natural that they will feel it imzardous to start on any business or invest their capital in a country where such laws prevail. Our readers will be aware that this is exactly the argument advanced in the British Memorial] The failure of railway companies in their attempt to in troduce foreign capiti is simply due to the fact that foreigners cannot hold real estate. Now that the time has come to throw ореп the whole Country
the to
free residence of foreigners: if the prohibition against their owning real estate be maintained, this will be equivalent to inviting foreigners on one hand and putting obstacles against their coming on the other. Thus the object of the revision of the Treaties, accoin. plished after such great toil and perseverance, will be frustrated. "Concluding its remarks the, Jiji once more strongly urges that all restric tions upon the ownership of real estate by foreigners should be abolished. Chronicle,

THE BILK MARKET AT YOKOHAMA
A Yokohama telegram to the Osabu Asahi of 9th Inst says that the silk market there since the day before has been very brisk. Since the afternoon of the 8th up to noon on the oth the purchases of this firm at No. 90-A alone have amounted to 3,000 hales. It is added that the quantity was close upon 1,000 bales at the time the telegram was sent off (2.30 pan.)
KOBE IMPORTER
The imports last month at Kohé were not as heavy as was expected, and did not even reach the figures of the corresponding month in the preceding year. On the other hand, the exports exceeded those of December 1897 by mere than two million yen, dug in large measure, no doubt, to the thereased export of rice. The figures are as follow :-
1808.
3897.- Exports....Y6,226,000 ¥4,084,649 Imports 9,679,200 ·9,831,237 Customs revenue....

FIRES IN YOKOHAMA
A fire was discovered about 10.20 p.m. On the 7th instant on Board the Nippon Yusen Kaisha steamship Hiroshima Maru, in Yoko. hama harbour. The cargo in stanger consisted of cotton, and about 30 piculs were destroyed before the flames were got under.
On the 8th inst., at 3.50 p.m., a rather serious fire occurred at laevakicho, Ichome. The building in which the conflagration originated: was a restaurant called the Nakamura Chudo, houses, destroying 14, and damaging four.
and thence the flames spread to surrounding
RICE IMPORTS,
The import of rice reached an unprecedented sum in 1898, while its export showed a remark able decrease. The figures for the last three years are as follows:
Import yen 5,662,336 18971,528,428 189348,100,023
1896
Export yen 1,892,007 1,294, 196 547,667
of tice was quoted at yen 16, 80 per koku, the In April of last year, when the standard price value of the import during the month amounted to 10,194,600 yen. Since then the price of rice has been on the decrease, and in November when the standard price was quoted at 12 yen, the import during the month was only 259.070 yen. In the mean time,, the export increased from 39,546 yen in August to 977,271 yen in November. The great change in the price of rice in last year is quite memorable..
A NEW RAILWAY.
A project for laying down'a railway at Balan Straits to afford direct communication between Bakan and Kyusly, the Japan Times says, has tong occcupied the attention of the promoters, who at one time went so far as to sulmit the scheme to the authorities, who rejected it owing to some defect. The Nippon says the pro- moters lately entered into a contract with Messrs. Armstrong and Co. for the temporary use of ships in the construction of bridge over the straits. The English firm, the paper says, greatly approved the work as one reflect. ing much loncur on the Japanese. It is added that another application for license bas already been sent in, the funds for the undertaking being estimated at 2,500,000 yen.
TOKYO'S EGGS.
According to the Jiji Shimpo, the importers of eggs in Tokyo have agreed to petition the authorities to lower the import duty on eggs and to suspend importation until the result of the petition is known. It is stated that at the close of last year there was a large import of eggs from China in view of the operation of the new. Tariffs, the importa into Yokohama ranging between 2,500 and 3,000 cases a week. The stock is already almost exhausted, how- ever. Dealers think that a duty of Y1.25 per 1,000 eggs,including those that are dainaged, is so heavy that it will ruin their business. It is somewhat remarkable that if there is such a

The position has undergone a great change of late and the present naval scheme of Japan has become inadequate, so it is now a question whether more warships should be built iminediately or the present force be simp ly inaintained. The matter of finances, how- ever, stands in the way, and our contemporary urges that the question should be taken into immediate consideration.

REPORTED ARRIVAL OF CHINESE
ASSASSINS IN TOKIO.
It was rumoured some weeks ago that the Chinese Government applied to Mr. Yung Japanese Minister to Peking, for the arrest and wow in Tokio. The Chinese Government was extradition of the Chinese political refugees ko said to have sunt voral hired-nesassins- to this country to do away with the obnoxious reformists in the event of failure to obtain their extradition. There seems to be some foundation for the rumour, as the refugees are known to be keeping strict watch and guard. Kang Yowel's fetters and circulars have not and his remaining followers are now regarded helped to mitigate the hatred with which he by the Court and Government of his country, The recent attempt to start a Chinese pericdi. cat in Yokohama by these refugees is another cause of offence. Under these circumstances, it is not very surprising all things. being con sidered, that the Peking Government should seek to remove the arch reformer out of their way. But such barbarous and cowardly mea sures as those they are credited with having had recourse to, will certainly, react against them.-Kobe Herald,
