Some lively play ensued at the start, the Sappers pressing matters for a considerible time. Then after some clever passing by the Club Libeaud made a good attempt at shooting from the wing and narrowly escaped scoring From thence on the game waged up and down the lines, the advantage appearing to be slightly in favour of the soldiers although the Club threw away several good chances by erratic chanting Up to halftime there was no score but after play was resumed the Club made things pretty lively round the Engineers goal which was twice saved by Burrell, Then the Club got a
corner but failed to profit thereby and their opponents soon worked the ball up to the other end, Bar- low kicking a neat goal. After a Bule more play he succeeded in getting another as the Tesat of a capital shot. Some rather loose play followed, Thornhill and others of the En- gineers putting in some very good running and then Boulter got knocked out. Play was stop- ped but the injured man was soon on his feet again and after a few minutes the Club got another corner. Play round the Engineer's goal culminating in Green getting a goal just before

The adjourned enquiry into the deaths of Privates unes and Jordan, was resumed this morning at the Magistracy by Mr. Giompertz, acting as Coroner. Majir Sir Horace Mac- mahen sat on the bench,
Inspector Cuthbert gave evidence concern- ing the whereabouts and state of the wharf which is military one, at which it is con Jectured that Private jetdan met his death. He could not say if there were any rocks near the surface of the water at that wharf.
Major Sir Horace Macmahon, on entering the witness box, produced the defaulter sheets of the two deceased privates, from which it was gathereil that Jones' age, would now be 22 and that he had a little over 3 years service.

On the whole, says the fupan Afail, the tone of the Japanese press has been modemte and well balanced with reference to the war in South Africa. There has been a marked disposition touppave of Great Britain's policy, the only ex- ception being the articles of the Nippon and the Yororu Choko. The Nifpon is a journal that finds difficulty at all times in approving the actions of a foreign country, It still brings the tenets of high morality to hear on inter- State transactions, and therefore discovers at once great and just reason for censure. admire its sentiments and regret that the world can not live up to them.

Considering all expresses doubts as to which side will einerge things, it is iifelined to lick Great Britain, for her history shows that defeat at first dues not dishearten her, and that she pulls herself together in the face of disasters. But there is plenty of rotu for uncertainty. Now we shall not purse to demonstrate the fallacy of the Vippe's notion that England's position at present is, one of detent, but we should like to knw where our contemporary finds the great disparity of force on which it hases an original of want of magnanimity against, Eng.

However, that is only a point of inconsistency in the Nikon's argument. We quite adasit that England is the stronger, and it is feeling in large part, which indices so many prominent English politicians to condemn is War, and allege that England could have afforded to be more generous. But we do most sincerely believe that the Buers went into the war convinced of uitiushte success, The corpus difficulty of sending from England a sufficient force to conquer them, seemed to justify a belief that fer Re-Majesty's Government would shrink from the effort, and that if they struck a few strong 1st Fubemary, 1899,- Lat ture by Hon.

THE PLAGUE IN KOBE.
ARRIVAL OF DR. KITASATO. ANOTHER DEATH.
KONE, 17th November. Dr. Kitasato arrived in Kobe'on the 19th inst., and immediately drove from Sannomiya Sta tion to the Kencho and consulted with Governor Olumori on the measures for stamping out the plague. Subsequently he paid a visit to the Infectious Diseases Hospital at Higashiyama and inspected the plague patients. At about 5 p.m. Dr. Kitasamo called a meeting, of the Kobe physicians in the Kencho and explained the treatment of plaque patients and the menstres to be taken for the prevention of the disease.
To the representatives of the local vernacular press Dr. Kitasato is reported to have made the following statement :-A proposal was made. in Tokyo to bum down the houses at the block: where the plague broke out. So long as the disease aus confined to me block such a mea. sure was to be recommended, but now that the disease had appeared in sevend places the barn- ing of the houses was impracticable. It was quite impossible for them in successfully cope with the disease with only the few doctors they hat in Kobe, and it woukl he necessary to engage at least 400 doctors in the Epidemic Inspection Office. There being only a few of the medical nen in Kobe who had any experi ence in bacteriology, he intended to engage doctors from. Osaka and Kyoto, and in the event of the number being insufficient, more would be brought from Tokyo. When a suffi- cient number of doctors had been obtained, they would be given instructions by Dr. Shiga, an.ex, en in Dr. Shibasatu's Infectious Dis cases Hospital in Tokyo, on the treatment of plague patients, and then an inspection of the city would be begun, domiciliary visits being made. The houses in the quarters where the disease broke out would be constantly ins pected, and other precautions would be taken. With such measures strictly enforced, Dr. Kitasato hoped the disease sight be stamped out in about thirty days.
On the 14th inst. Governor Ohmori issued an instruction to Mr. Narmtaki, the Mayur of Kube, informing him that, plague baving broken out at Fekiai-mura and Higashi, Kawasaki-cho, the cleansing of the whole city should be carried out to prevent the disense spicading to other parts.
The Kube Municipal Assembly immediately held a meeting and adopted a resolution to carry out the cleansing, which was at once started. As the coolies regularly engaged by the City authorities are insufficient, ifty or sixty esim hands were engaged,

THE RELIEF FUND-A SUGGESTION. TO THE THIRE THONG TELEGRAPH. SIR,Assuming the Committee appointed at the meeting of British subjects held in the City Hall to-day is open to receive and consider suggestions respecting ways and means of increasing the contribution from this Calony as much and as speedily as possible, permit me to submit for consideratim the proposal,
That at least $rge;ooo-be withdrawn from the Revenue of this Colony now in the Treasury and be promptly remitted by wire to London by the Treasurer of the Patriotic Fund; that of this sum $100,000 be deducted from next year's Military Contribution and $50,000 from Land Sajes, thus making the total contribution of this Colony much larger and inore prompt than it would be if the Fund is dependent solely apon voluntary contributions. If the Council considers it necessary, the $100,000 deducted from the Military Contribution to be made good entirely or in part from Land Sales, Same being a charge on that account this year or say, half one year and half the next.
$40,000 (I think that was the amount) was I remember that a few years ago a sum of voted by the Legislative Council us a contribu tion from the Colony for the relief of sufferers from a hurricane which wrought tremendous havoc in Bermuda or Barbados (I forget now the colony). There was no argument about it, no objection..
