EXECUTION: "AT KOBIE!
CARRYING OUT THE EXTREME PEZALTY
-OF-THE LAW IN
JAPAN.
KOBE, th November Executions are very infrequent in Hyogo prefecture, not more than six persons having during the last eight years suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Hyogo-ken prison. Last year there was but one execution, and the only time the gallows at the prison has been used this year occurred yesterday morning, when a man named Suzuki Sadashiło suffered capital punishment.

PREPARATIONS. FOR WAR.
A Tientsin telegram of the 7th inst, to the Osaka Asahanuounces that AdmiralYo Sa-ke, of the Peyang Navy, has addressed a represent tation to Yu Lu, the Viceroy of Chibli, urging upon him the necessity of making preparations for war at the forts of Tuku, fir the defence of the State in connection with the Italian demand on China.

It is about five weeles since sentence was passed upon Suzuki. In Japan a prisoner sea- tenced to death has no knowledge of the actual day or hour that he must die. Nointimation what- ever, it seems, is given to the condemned man until a few minutes before the actual moment when the execution is to be carried out. Then the Governor of the prison calls the prisoner from the row of cells to the corridor, and intimates that the fatal hour when the sentence must be executed has arrived. In many cases, it is said, the condemned man faints or his dumbs become useless on receiving such an intima tion, though after being sentenced he must be fully aware that once the time for appeal has gone by there can be no hope of a reprieve. Such men have often to be carried to the execu tion ground. But in the case of Suzuki it was quite otherwise. He neither paled nor flushed, but at once got ready to accompany, the officers in waiting. From the cell he was taken to the office where the prisoners are received, and there a few formalities were transacted and a prayer offered by a Buddhist priest. Then the man's eyes were bandaged, and after he was placed between two warders the procession set out for the execution ground. This is situated on the south side of the prison and, surrounded by a high wall, is entered by a gateway from the prison compound.
RECULATIONS FOR THEIR CONTROL.
A Tokyo dispatch the Kehe Chronicle states that the Central Board of Health at a re- cent meeting adopted a resolution to recom mend the Government to enact Regulations for the control of the hotels and bathing places at hot springs where sick people resort. A draft of the Regulations was approved. The reason for the adoption of the measure is that the hotels and bathing places at the hot springs are very apt to prove centres for the spread of disease, and many healthy people have con. tracted consumption, feprosy and other dan gerous diseases, av'the result of occupying the Same rooms, using the same futons, etc.. as people suffering from these maladies.
THE INSURGENTS IN FORMOSA,
A dispatch from Formosa to the Osaka ¿lsahi states that the Formosan authorities on the 19th ult. sent five companies of troops with a number of gendarmes and policemen to search for the insurgents in Nankokci and the Shushudai hills, where it was thought they had their headquarters. No trace of the rebels was found, however, and the troops returned to Taichu on the 23rd without result. It has now been tiscertained that the insurgents are scattered over the surrounding districts and are residing among people who are supposed to be peaceful.

THE BICYCLE TAX IN OSAKA.
The Osaka Mainichi states inst the latest investigations made by the authorities show that the number of bicycles registered in Osaka-fu ámounts to 18. Un the first-half of the present year, the local tax imposed on the machines was 3.50 each per year. This rate was raised at the last meeting of the Prefectural Assembly in June last, and it now stands at Yj.
COMMENT ON THE WAR.

A Service Paper. The United Service Gazettë remarks The resistance of the Orange, Free State is rather welcomed by military men than otherwise. They point out that President Steyn can only put comparatively small force) the field, while his hostility opens out a rather easy means of access to the Transvaal. Some rather interesting views as to the lighting powers of the Boers are furnished by observers who have recently travelled in the Republic. A distinction is drawn between the older and the younger generation.

Will the European Powers and the United States, recognise the Boers as belligerents, or will they regard, the war as one between a Sovereign Sinte and its rebellious subjects asks the 5: James Gazette? · In the latter. case, there would be no necessity for the Powers to take any formal notice that war was going on, an obvious advantage, to treat Britain, for it would enable us to continue the purchase of mules in Spain and America of tinned provisions in the United States, and of warlike stores generally wherever we found a market. Neither the Continental Powers. not the United States of America ever have recoguised the claim of the Transvaal to be "an independent Sovereign State." In abstain ing from such recognition, they are, as the Law Journal reminds us, acting on a principle on which there is no difference of opinion That principle is laid down in among jurists. "Hall's International Lawas follows:A State in its perfect form has, in virtue of its in- dependence, complete liberty of action, subject to law, in its relations with other States. .... But so soon as compacts are entered intò, which are not intended to be revocable, or are not likely by the nature of their provisions to be susceptible of unilateral retucation, and which, at the same time, subject to the external | action of a State to direction by a will other than its own, it ceases within the sphere of these compacts to be independent, and coase quently to be a person in international law."

Herklaas Malan." Herklaas Man is a farmer and a very in- tuential man at Pilansberg in the Rustenburg district.
He has been operating with his burghers on the western border in conjunction with Commandant Cronje of Potchefstroom, Ignorant and prejudiced, he is filled with bitter hatred of the English. Up to the present he is best known for his action in connection with Dr. Jameson's surrender at Deomkop, when, though Cronje had given terms, he insisted that the commandant had not the power to do so and affirmed that the promised safeguant would only avail the raiders until they were handed over at Pretoria. The Rustenburgers are per haps the sturdiest and most warlike section of
the Boers.

Pieter Cronje.
1. A. Crnje, wrongly reported to have been killed, is commandant of the Potchefstroom district, and earned considerable ill fame. He was notorious first of all for his action in con- nection with the sale of Bezuidenhour's effects at" Potchefstroom, when he rushed up to the sheriff, pulled him off a waggon, and kicked Government him, saying, "Away with you, you official, we don't neknowledge you." it was his men who fired the first shot al Potchefstroom, which brought on the last war. He is notorious for his treachery. Despite the fact that be knew of the armistice and that supplies had been sent for the beleaguered garrison at Potchefstroom, he neither gave the garrison notice thereof nor did he dinit the supplies. The operations interested in this question is Por during this siege were conducted with unusual Ingal for upon the decision arrived at brutality, and the blame rests with him.

If, however, Portugal were to allow the British to use Delagoa Bay as aj. base for operations against the Transvaal there cau be no doubt that the Beers would, if able, make reprisals, in which case a virtual, if not a declared, state of war would exist between Portugal and the South African Republic. Portugal is vitally interested in this matter. May she not be tempted to give Great Britain an opportunity to exercise that right of pre- emption over ali Portuguese territory south of the Zambesi already secured to us by treaty? Such a solution would be beneficial to England and l'ortugal alike, and would render the isola. tion of the Beers absolute.
Effect on Army Football, The Transvaal war has had a peculiar effect on Aray football, the Army Service Corps having sent so many players out to Africa that the clubs have been compelled to abandon all competitions. Captain Ford, an old Sussex and Hampshire player, and secretary to the Army Football Association, is at the Cape, many other prominent players have been order. ed to the front. The first round for the Army Cup was down to be played in October, but a dozen of the teams were not able to participac owing to their members having gone on active service. On Satureay afternoon, Oct: 7, a team of the Black Watch Regiment travelled from Perthyto Pitlochry to take part in a football match with the local team, but shortly after their arrival a telegram was recived from their com

Opinion in Java. The Hatarin correspondent of the Singapore
Free Press writes:-
Dr. J. M. P. Kerkhoff, a Government Doctor,
goes from Samarang to the Transvaal in charge of the Ambulance sent nut by the Ladies' Committee there. He is now treating with the Government for the necessary leave, and he will go via Singapore and Aden by French or German mail to Lourenco Marques. It is im possible to give an idea of the intensity of the feeling in Netherlands India against the British and in favour of the Boers The preachers preach against England, the press inycighs against her, the man in the street has no other topic. The Dutch soldiers in the military gaol at Tiimalil send half a sovereign to the Trans vaal fund, with a letter in which they say they would gladly give a band toward helping the Boers to hunt the renincks out of their land, but "circumstance" prevent their doing more than subscribe to the fund for the wounded and bereaveil, and the committee is to rest assured that although they are at present shut out from Society, their hearts as warmly for their race brothers as if the freedom of Holland itself was at stake.

When Britain Invades..
A competent military writer, in the Morning Post, asserts that the maximum force of the Boer States-the levy en masse—may amonnt to 50,000 men. That number represents the inhou which should be supplied to the British Commander entrusted with operations against them.

But the British Com- mander will have, to goard as he advances a lengthening line of communications. Once he crosses the border he cannot rely on the use of a railway, and before he reaches the heart of the enemy's country his forces will be at least 400 miles distant from the nearest point if that ocean which for cen- turies has always been the base of British military, operations. If it were possible for the Buera to collect 35,000 men for a battle near Pretoria it would be hally possible for a British Genenral who had started with 50,000 men from the sea to bring more than 35,000 men to oppose them at the end of his advance. But the object of the British Government is not a battle on equal terms ; li is such a decisive victory as will destroy the Boer power and compel surrender. For that purpose not numercial equality but very de cided superiority on the battle-field is required.

Schalk Burger.
Schalk Burger is likely to prove one of the rost interesting personalities among the Boer commandants. He is the grandson of one of the Boer trekkers na whose head the British Government in Natal set a large price. He is an earnest and thoughtful politician, though wer cautious, so that the burghers have felt rather inclined to doubt his good faith. He was at one time a staunch Progressive, but has practically recanted the views he put forward when seeking election to the Presidentship. He took part in the war of independence as a field cornet, and has in his character many of the elements that go to make a successful general. He is a members of the Executive Council, and has a considerable amount of influence.
A
CLOSE TIME" FOR CURATES.
Speaking recently at the Worcester Diocesan Conference at Birmingham, Mr: S. Royle Shore created considerable amusement by advocating what he termed as “ close time" for clergyinen. He was convinced lay the assistant-curate-pra- blems and the needs of the Home Mission field in the large cities that the Church of England would have to modify her attitude with regard to the indiscriminate and unrestricted marriage of the clergy. He suggested that the permis sion, of the Bishop of the dincese should be chained by the clergyman desiring to marry, such permission should not be refused where an adequate benefice existed to support the married state, or where private means existed and were properly secured by settlement, and provided, of course that the particular work in which he was or intended to be engaged was not unsuited to a married man. The young ladies of the congregation should by degrees he taught to understand that the "pale young curate" fuumortalised in a certain very charming comic opera was not necessarily the most eligible man in the parish from a matrimental point of view. Altogether, he was strongly in favour of what he had called a "close time for curates, He did not think this would have the effect of reducing the number of candidates for orders. There ought to be a large financial reform in the pecuniary provision for the clergy in their work and subsequent retirement. Some sys- tematic way of recruiting for the ministry should be adopted, and the future supply of the clergy not left merely to chance.
