Sir E. Grey, addressing a Liberal meeting, typhoon warnings so much desifed in Hongheld recently at Reading, said the country was kong, as formerly and prior to February 27th urgently in need of more information on the Chinese question. They wanted explained Very respectfully
how it was that, apparently, such slow progress had been made in arriving at an understanding with Russia in regard to North China. What the people desired to know was not so much what the Government had been doing with Chinese Ministers at Peking, hut what and been passing directly between them and the advisers of the Tsar. If there were difficulties, he was always anxious that, if possible, this country should show a united front, but we could not do that unless we had full information and were quite sure that we had a clear case. The Liberals wanted to see a friendly under standing, with Russia with regard to questions in Northern China: They believed it to be practicable, and that all the elements existed for bringing it about. The obstacle to an un- derstanding between the two, comptries he believed to be Russian distrust of our policy, but the time had arrived when that distrast ought to come to an end.
The Manila Observatory very gratefully acknowledges the justice done to this Institu- tion by the Chamber of Commerce, the Press and many conspicuous residents of Hongkong the generous action taken by the Colony on this occasion will be remembered with gratis tude and in the impossibility of writing separately to all those who have favoured us with their testimonials, we wish to convey to every me of them, through your valuate paper: obr warmest thanks. We don't like to extoli our own abilities, nor do we pretond to magnify our own work but notwithstanding this, we trust that the Manila Observatory will prove itself to be in the future, as useful and benificial to the colony of Hongkong as it has been up to the present.

ASCENT OF MOUNT MORRISON.
Mr. Sioepel, the explorer of the Pic of Orizaba, in Mexico, and Mauna Ken and Mauna Loa in Hawaii, has made the ascent of Mount Morrison, the highest mountain of Formosa. The intrepid explorer encountered numerous dangers and obstacles from the feverish climate and the aboriginal tribes. Der Ostasiatische Lloyd states that he has done a great deal for the better knowledge of the island, its topography, climate, products and so forth. He finds that only very few tribes cul. tivate their land and keep cattle. The abori- gines are said to be without doubt of Malayan origin, and only in the north have they mixed with Chinese, They are skull hunters, and cannibalism has been observed by Mr. Stoepel

Continuing, the President urged the neces ily of a better system of commercial education regretting that the Government were opposed to the suggestions of the Associated Boards of Commerce on this matter. In conclusion, the President said the Associated Chambers hailed with satisfaction Lord Bussell's bill on secret comissions.
M. W Keswick (London Chamber of Com merce) then proposed the following resolu- tion That this association desires to express its satisfaction with the action taken by her Majesty's Government for the protection of. British commercial interests in China, cand urges her Majesty's Government to rigorously maintain the policy of the open door for commerce throughout the entire Chinese Empire, and (b) the prior British rights in the Yangtse Valley and its watershed, and at those ports and settlements in Chinese territory where British interests and business have been. established and have predominated for many years. That a letter conveying this resolution beaddressed by the Executive Council to the Secretary of Site for Foreign Affairs,"
Sir Richard Temple, who represented the Worcester Chamber of Commerce, seconded, and in strong terms urged the maintenance of treaty rights in China. China should understand that she was not to. allow any other Power to interfere in the Yangtse Valley, or to become established in any manner that should be exclusive of British interests.

GLADSTONE EMBLEMS.
A number of suggestions contime to be received by the Daily Chronicle on the subject of an emblem to canimemorate the death lay of Mr. Gladstone. The vast majority, we learn, advocate the general wearing of a flower on May 19. A preference is shown for the white rose, as that bloom was so frequently seen in the button-hale of the veteran. Other suggestions include: "Any white flower, as an emblem of the white flower of a blameless life," "the myrtle," "bay-leaves," "hawthorn,"
"white rosette," and even "the daisy,"

APPALLING STATE OF THINGS IN RUSSIA,
STILL ANOTHER WITNESS,
In a letter to Mr. Lees Knowles, M.P., Major Luigi Calderari, the Italian Military Aithelié on the Sirdar's staff during the Soudan Campaign, deals with the allegations as to the
treatment of the Dervishes after the battle of Omdurman He writes: "I rode on the field of battle in various directions, and everywhere I saw hundreds of wounded lying alive not withstanding that the ground had already been traversed by, the Anglo-Egyptian troops. L happened to be for a while at the head of the tromes in their advance after the attack on the zariba had been repulsed, and then again I was able to convince myself that the wounded were not in any way molested. If an occasional wounded man was killed, it was only in legiti mate defence, because, as is well known, it is the custom with these peoples to pretend to be dead and then to fire on the enemy as he passes, or worse still, to ask for water and help, and then treacherously to kill those who are succouring them.
