and English he congratulated all concerned, the Americans to whoso enterprise the roud owed its origin; the Japanese under whose adminis tration it has been completed; and the Imperial
Goverment of Korea, who have accorded it enlightened and liberal encouragement. Mr. Hayashi was followed by Pak Chei-soon, the Korean Minister, who had nothing to say and said it very well. This really terminated the ceremony.
This first railroad built in the land of Korea owes its origin to the enterprise of r. Morse, of the American Trading Company. It was sold by him in the Japanese and is now in their control it has been three years in building and is just now reaching completion. It is of standard American gauge, with a gradient of 01. For its completion Yen 1,800,000 has been appropriated by the Japanese Goverment. It is built of American materials and the passenger coaches are ordinary American cars adopted to first, second and thin-class passengers. The fares charged travellers of the three classes are respectively Ten 1.24, 0.66; 0.33; this for passage from Chemulpo to the terminus at No-dol, For the present there will be two trains each way daily.
Raffronding is this fairly inaugurated, in Korea. Forts and every other kindred en. terprise the foreigners have only kindly feel- ings. Aside from the personal benefit derived, it is evident to every one that only by cliject
lessons on their own sail can the Koreans be brought to know the meaning and utility of the materials of civilized life. This railroad will help them to wake up. It will take them a long finis to comprehend what it means, but they will come to it. The Koreans aboard who thus were having their first ride hardly knew whether to be suprised or not. They smoked, chatted looked out of the windows, and said nothing. But tonight in many a Korean sarung there will be comments passed, of which we cannot ever dream. But probably the two things over which the greatest dis- cussions will prevail will be the defening rumble of the train and the vile odour of coal smoke Nagasaki Press correspondent.

(From Japan Papers) Experiments in Japan with a
Military Balloon.
At the fourth inspections of the army railway corps at Nakanomura, Tokyo, which was com menced on the zoth inst. and was to be con cluded yesterday, some experiments were made with a military balloon under the direction of Major Kitasawa. The results are reported to have been satisfactory. One of the features of the experiment was the trial of an invention of Mr. Vamada, an expert attached to the corps, which enabled the balloon to be handied in a high wind. The Falloon was 7 metres high anit metres witle. There was some wind blowing at the time, but the balloon rose easily 150 metres.
Miller's Confession. Miller has confessed his crime. He says that after killing with a hammer die man who had assaulted him in the bar of the Rising Sun saloon, he dropped the hammer, and Saye, laying down the lamp she was carrying, took up the hammer and made for the door. Imagining that she was going, give information, he intercepted her, and-sent her and the maid- servant upstairs, bidding them go to bed, He then locked the door, and helped himself to whiskey. While he was drinking, the two women came down again and tried to get in, but finding the door locked, retired once more upstairs. Presently Miller himself would have gone upstairs, but the maidservant prevented him, and tried to push him down. He then struck her on the head with a screw-wrench that

fidelity, and they are easily induced to combine against their employers. In all these, respects there is an impression abroad that the Chinaman is a better worker thin the Japan
ese. In the third place, there is the difficulty of commercial immorality. The average Ja panese trader or manufacturer does not value an engagement. A sample has no sanctity in his eyes. A foreign manufacturer, relying upon supplies of material in Japan, might find hin- self at any moment in a ruinous dilemma. The industrial capitalist, therefore, is not likely to choose the Japanese field. As for the invest ing capitalist, his ignorance of Japan is one of the great difficulties. He actually knows more about China, for China, being field, has attracted his attention, and besides much larger he can find in China investments secured by the State, whereas such things do not exist in Japan outside the region of public loan bonds. Altogether Mr. Kaneku is very pessimistic. He thinks that even though the privilege of engaging in mining enterprise be extended to foreigners, they will make little use of it.
Foreign Concession Taxes,
VOKOHAMA FRENCH CONSUL GIVES DECIDED OPINION AGAINST THEM Mr. L. Retard, French Consul, at Yokohama having been appealed to on the subject by one of his nationals, has written a letter dealing with the question of the right of the Japanese Government to levy municipal and provincial taxes on the linses of the foreign (incession. The Japan Herald_publishes a translation. The letter, aller citing the basis of the writer's opinions, concludes:-
Under these conditions, it appears to me indisputable that the perpetual tease, and the ground rent which it involves, apply not to the bare ground, but rather to ground built. upon, and it is under this title that French citizens ought to be exempted from all addis tional taxes, whatsoever, by vinure of our treaty of the ath Angust, 1896,
In the next place, it should also be admit ted that by the terms of Article X11 of the memorandum of the 19th December, 1864, municipal taxes have been provided for through the abandonment, which, in view of the higher rent of perpetual leases, the Japanese Government has made, to the Municipal Consular Council, of 20 per cent. of the ground rent for the work of necessary improvement, and which the actual municipal
ity ought to inherit, for
have not found," in

For all these tertang, and for others of the same kind, which it is not necessary to detail at greater length, but which I explained to our Legation, and to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs på Paris, 1 consider that the local authorities have no right levy, on the houses of the foreign concession, the municipal and provincial taxes, which they are now trying to
collect.
I am, besides, firmly persuaded and com vinced that after an impartial study of the question, the Japanese Government, with the thet and ability which it has applied to mana ging the transition between the old and new regime, will not hesitate to admit the good grounds of the claims which the French are able to bring to bear on this subject.

LONG-TIME RESIDENTS. The amateur theatrical entertainment at the Public Hall last night was an occasion of mingled pleasure and regret--pleasure in that the performance was must clever and enjoyable and served to show that the community has al least two recruits of considerable histrionic ability, and regret because it was the last appearance on the birds they have so worthily adorned of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Reed, win have the past many years to amuse and charm the hamma. As might have been anticipated, the Public Hall was filled to overlowing, and the audience was as enthusiastic as it was numerous. The alterations which have been carried on during the last few weeks allow of a consister- able addition to the seating accommodation, but even with this there was little mom to spare. The Puble Hall, by the way has been greatly improved by the work that has been undertaken, although the Direc tors have not considered it advisable to embark on any radical scheme of alteration.gineer has been censured. Both have appealed. The chief feature is the provision of a gallery, which will seat from 100 to 120 people placed at a considerable height from the door, and does not in any way interfere with the view of those sitting in the body of the hall. By an ingenious arrangement there are no pillars -supporting the gallery from the door: it rests partly on the wall of the main building, and is sustained also by iron supports attached to the rod Sone attempt has been made, by the construction of a new auditorium, to improve the acoustic qualities of the hall, and, though they are still bad enough, we fancy soide suc- cess has been achieved. The walls are effecti vely though simply decorated.
