The Osaka Mainichi states that Dr. Lin holm, a Professor in the Tokyo Imperial Uni versity of profound learning and high moral virtue" (Toku-gaku takake) has been engaged in translating the Japanese laws into European languages with a view to making them known to foreigners. His work has now been com pleted more than one-half, and the books hare teen sent to Europe. Therefore the Emperors of Germany and Austria have conferred decu- "rations upon him in recognition of his services. We do not know what amount of truth there is in this paragraph, but if the information is correct, it is surprising enough.

Advice from the British Government.

The Japanese nation will certainly appreciate the good will shown by the British Govern ment toward this country, in taking steps to nullify the anti-Japanese law enacted by the local assembly of British Columbia. Even if the new Anglo-Japanese treaty were in opera tion we would not be legally in a position to protest against the unfair treatment of the Japanese in British Columbia, because Canada is expressly outside the pale of the said treaty. There can be no doubt, however, that the British Government, in advising the Dominion authorities to disallow, the anti-Japanese law, magte-in-deference to the representations of our

A Strange Tale.

An extraordinary story is published in the columns of the Nichi Nichi Shimbun. The principal figure in it is a Mr. Watanabe Take. Jima, who has been serving as a Japanese police constable in Chemulpo for many years. He is said to be quite familiar with the Korean language, and to have married a Korean wite. Two or three months ago, sa the tale goes, the Emperor of Korea sent for him and asked him to assassinate a certain An, now residing in Japan, promising to give him a reward of 2,000 yen if he succeeded and threatening to kill his wife if he declined. Watanabe is said to have scoured the proposition in a manner becoming a virtuous man. If he desires to maintain that character, he land better deny the

decision, clear in judgment, ready in debate, and possessing an almost unrivalled knowledge of colloquial, he exercised a unique in- luence in the counsels of the Japanese Church. He leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn their sudden loss, to whom we desire to offer our sincere condolences.

The draft of an Imperial Ordinance relating to the treatment of foreigners in Japan after the new Treaties have come into force was sub. mitted by the Minister for Home Affairs to the recent conference of Prefecturni Governors. It is now in the bands of the Treaty Operation Committee.
