We cannot Assume that,

It is undoubtedly a pity if he intended, con - cession, that President Kruger did not adopt this policy at once, instead of by his delay, allowing the war spirit to arise and preparations for war to be made. The expense which has been caused might have been avoided by more judicious actions andamoreconsiderateteiaper. At the same time, we must say that the outcry here and in Natal against the Boer preparations for war is the veriest cant. We are to send out officers, troops, and ammunition, it appears, and the Boers against whom these are to be used, are to sit down quietly, and cultivate farms as if nothing at all were taking place! This is shrer, arrogant nonsense. However unwisely the Boer Government may have acted in the interests of peace, it must be allowed that if they hold that the British are determined to crush their autonomy, they are not only justified in defending it, but are morally bound to do so, and surely we should despise them if they 'did not: At the same time, both from their own and the British point of view, it is sad that things have come to such a pass.

A Mission Schooner for Japan's

Islanda.

Yokohama on Wednesday on board a new A dedication ceremony which took place, al Sclinoner, the Pukrin Maru, built for the Baptis Mission, is described by the Japan Gazette. The vessel is the gift of a Scottish shipowner and has been built by Cook at Honmoku. She is intended to caury missionaries, native and foreign, to engage in evangelistic work among the small islands of the Japanese, Em- pire, especially those in the Inland Sea, and those lying between the Straits of Shimonoseki and Liu Chiu. The master and missionary in charge is Mr. Luke W. Big cl. Mr. Blicke was formerly on the Ross Ling of Steamers Plying between London and Montical, and afterwards was engaged in eyangelical work in London. He takes with him twen or three Japanese Christians and a crew of nine all told. The vessel sails t-day (Friday) with the object of visiting some of tire islands where Christianity has not yet been introduced.

The Setting Sun of Buddha The apparent decny of Buddhism, in Japan forms the theme of an interesting article in the Jiji (as translated by the Japan Advertiser). Throughout the country the Buddhist temples are in a poor state of repair; tiles are wanting on the roofs; the sacred images of Buddha-and. his disciples are exposed to wind and rain and the ravages of vermin. On the day's set apart. for special observances the priests represent both preacher and congregation. In the pre restoration days the temples had their inherited followers whose offerings of rice and money served to support the upkeep of the buildings to maintain the priests. Just prior to the Restoration Japan had a popalation of some thirty millions, all of whom, though attached to various sects, were Buddhists. During the past. thirty years this populating has increased by some len millions and, liad the priests pursued-

their ancient methods, the ranks of Buddhists would have been strengthened accordingly. Ever since the inauguration of the restoration era,. however, people have been turning aside from the ancient faith. Some have been converted to Christianity; others have become Shintoists. To judge from the daily newspapers, the end of Buddhism in Japan is, not only inevitable,. but eagerly awaited. To the decay of religious belici must be atributed the enormous increase of crime throughout the land-the murderers and suicides, the fraudis, committed even among nearest relatives. Many people attribute the waning influence of Buddhism to the immorality of the priests, but the i thinks that the government can hardly be exonerated from a share of the responsibility. The latter, under the old regime, used to keep the priests severely controlled, but with the dawn of the new er they issued regulations annulling compulsory celibacy and vegetarianiani.

Tokyo, 18th September.

It will be remembered that some time ago the America Maru leit Yokohama for San Fran- cisco with burning coal in her bunkers. She put back 10 Yokohama on Sunday last, under what might be called most distressing circumstances. When about 820 miles from Yakobania fire was discovered in the second compartment. The captain and officers tried to keep the matter Secret from the passengers, so as not to cause excitement among the latter. But as the smouldering fire assumed dangerous propor- tons, in spite of the utmost efforts to quench it, the passengers became acquainted with the serious state of affairs. The sieamer was then turned round and headed for Yokohama at full speed. The iron partitions separating the com partment in question from this rest were red- hot and emitted tremendous heat. Great con fusion and excitement existed on board the steamer, all the passengers uniting in the con- demnation of the management. The mail matter alone was saved, and was practically

untouched.
