Cremation in Japan. to a Cemetery Company at San Francisco re- The manager of the crematorium attached cently applied to Count Mutse, the Japanese Consul there, asking for information relating to cremation in Japan. Count Mutsu referred the application to the Foreign Office, Tokyo, and the Police Affairs Bureau in the Home Department has been asked to supply informa- tion as to the number of bodies cremated every Instructions have also been issued to the year in the Empire, and other matters in de- various City and Prefectural Qovernments to report on these matters.
Regarding matters in Peking, a great deal of sensational matter has been published for which there is only the most slender foundation. In a general way things are very critical in the Palace, but no immediate coup is pending, for the very good reason that the Empress Dowager is between two fires, and cannot do anything until she has taken steps to prevent any two strong parties uniting their forces against her self. Chang Yen-Mow is i hear in disgrace just now with his fellow officers of the Tsungli Yamen, by reason of his having stolen a march on them recently. He attended the Yamentail. carly, and the rest were late. A petition about the Chinkiang railway was awaiting signature, in which, as it so chanced, a croney of Chang's own was interested, so he seized the golden opportunity to attach the Yamen's seat of approval to it. The document however, met the other members it was being carried out, and the big seal chtight their eye. Back it was brought, and when its nature was established, a senior member tore it into fragments, and Chang lost face.

A Strike of Railway Navvios, Three hundred and fifty navvies, working in

That method was afterwards altered, the length of a spell being reduced to 6 hours, which in- volved two spells for each man in the 24 hours, his time being thus increased to 12 hours, with the still greater hardship of never having more than 6 hours' interval.

The Amendment of the Criminal Code.
The work of the Lay Code Investigation Committee in the discussion of the amendments to the Criminal Code appears to be progressing very slowly. The sub-committee appointed to make the draft has completed it so far as the part dealing with political offences; which follows the section dealing with general principles. The General Committee has as yet considered only five or six articles relating to general principles. The law of criminal procedure is said to consist of over 500 articles, of which only about 150 have been discussed. It is considered extremoly doubtful whether the Bill for the amendment of the 'Criminal Code and procedure can be introduced into the Diet by next session; although the Committee is pushing forward its work with the greatest diligence.
Viewing Forts at Moji. Foreigners will soon have to be careful that they do not look at the scenery in Japan, much less take photos, of it, or they run a great risk of being arrested as spies. An ambising list ance of this isreported in the Oshika dhiintchi, On the 15th inst, says our contemporary, two Germans were seen loitering about in front of the entrance gates to the fort on Kojo lull at Moji.

The Germans in Koreas The doings of Mr. Walter, a German subject residing in Chemulpo, lave afforded material for a great many paragraphs in Japanese news papers. First he figured as applicant for the charter of the Soul Wonsan railway. That being refused, he sought permission to build a railway from Cheung-nam-po, to Pyongyang, and thence to Wonsan. That also was refused Then he proposed to act as capitalist for the Soul-Wonsan road, which, according to the Korean Government, was to be built by, an impecunious native company. That too was refused. And now Mr. Walter, has sought permission to employ the Korean national ag as a trade mark, That application again has been rejected, and the question propounded by Tokyo journals is whe her Germany will sit down under all these rebuffs. We admite Mr. Walter's enterprise if the tales of his
doings be correct.

In short, the Japanese idea of a harbour improvement, such as is exemplified by erecting a pier or break. water, is condemned. It is, however, too centravagant to expect anything great om the present City Council, which has not a very high reputation for intelligence and enterprise.
The members of the City Assembly, who recently went to Osaka to inspect the harbour works there, will, no doubt, come back with some important information: laut it is doubtful whether the visit will do much good.
