the same manner, is a Bill reported out by a Special Committee. This Bill, sir, has been considered by the Standing Law Committee, which has had no less than eight sittings to con- sider it. It has been reported by me as chairs "man of the Standing Law Committee that at

such inewings the Bifi was considered clause; by clause in the presence of all the members of such Standing Law, Couniates, and ther in the opinion of such Staneling Law Committee such Bill may be dealt with by the Council in the same manner as a {lill reported-on by a com mittee of the whale Council. Therefore, unless any honourable member has any objection, I would propose that the Bill be dealt with as Bill reported on by a commitice of the whole council, and I move that the amendments sug- gestested by the committee be adopted.

The Colonial Secretary seconded. The Hon, T. H. Whitehead-May 1 ask if the suggestions froin the Chamber of Con merce have been embodied?.

The Acting Attorney-General-Some ofdiem have been embodied but not all i can assure- the honourable member that all the suggestions of the Chamber of Comuneice were very care fully consideret indeed.

The motion was carriedů. The Bill was then passed through committee clause by clause. The Council resumed and adjourned till Thursday next,

FINANCE COMMITTEL A meeting of the Finance Committee was held immediately after the Council meeting, the Colonial Secretary presiding.

The Chairman-1 have only one, financial minute to bring before the Committee to-day, and that is one in which the Governor recom. mends the Council to vote a sum of four thous and dollars in aid of the vote Maintenance of Buildings. With regard to that increase the honourable the Director of Public Works re- ports that "extensive works of renewal at Government House have rendered the increase necessary. The total amount of the vole is $30,000, and of this ro,609,90 has been spem on Government House. It is obvious that o vote intended to cover the maintenance of buildings numbering about 165 in all could not bear so large a vote in respect of one building. I estimate that a further sum of $4,000 will be required to defray the charges incurred in the vato, and I therefore request that a supple mental vote for that sum be obtained. I may add that I expect there will be a corresponding saving under miscellancous works.”

The vote was agreed to

The enlightened view he took of the proposed Settlement Ex- tension, and the part undertaken by him during the delimitation of the boundaries doubtless fastened not a little the early completion of this important work. Unfortunately his one years term of acting office had expired and another had already been appointed before steps were taken by several high consular officials and the principal Chinese merchants and compradores | to retain Mr. Wang for another year, at least. But the Chinese mercantile community here was determined to show their appreciation of such an enlightened and liberal official, and ¦ this led to the presentation.

COREA,

SEOUL, November 9th. HIS COREAN MAJESTY,

has been out of the city a number of times of late worshipping the spirits of his distinguished ancestors. At six h the morning the proces sion moved from the Palace, and passed through the East Gate to the tombs of the king. It costs $25,000 to perform the ceremony to the satisfaction of his Majesty, But is it worth it for it leaves the l'alace free from bad devils, prevents assassination, and permits of grateful, comforting step. The eunuchs too were out in full force, every mother's son of them, oiled and shiny. Corea to-day' is richly supplied with this particular species of humanity. They seem to develop by a sort of spontaneous combustion, frous a one knows where. The lost their innings from October 1894 till February 1896 and it was thought that they had one, not to return, but the Emperor has since declared in their favour and they and the palace maids are once more at the bat, Under their administration, the revenue is largely raised by inueries and the sale of office. As a result, an increasing number of pawn-shop flags ornament the city. Doors to offices stand wide open, with a ticket agent at each. There is no question as to a man's fitness. If he can faut raise the amount, in he goes. Atenas Ward used to have placarded over his show entrance" you can't expect to go in without paying, but you may pay without going in," so it is in Corca to the door of the official show.. It costs $20 to enlist as a soldier, $25 to get into the police force, $1,000 to be made a lieutenant in the army and $7,000 for the office of Minister of Justice. Other offices vary, in accordance with the possibility of squeeze attached to them. The party purchasing the office, 100, is left uncertain as to how long he will be per mitted to hold it.

It not only requires ready money with which to secure entrance, but a constant supply is needed to keep one in the seat.

THE SHIP WITHOUT A PILOT, Legendre and Greathouse are dead and Corea is without a foreign adviser. The power of these two.combined has not proved sufficient to lead Corea along a safe and encouraging pathway. Now they both are no more and the Emperor is happy. We know that whatever sensible advice they ventured to give him was rather an annoyance than otherwise. To-day all is peace with his soul. He dreams not that 8,000,000 of downtrodden subjects are eye. |ing him with bleared, ugly looks, fools he thinks them to be, and probably he is right. The band plays at night, and bottles of champ agne pop lilariously. There are besides, how- ever, many ominous sounds that perhaps the Emperor hears not. Why should be hear? His ancestral spirits are propitiated, fungsku is favourable, the "eight characters are be nignant, his stars shine down upon him, just where they ought to be; ainen and amen,—M C. D. News Car.

PRESENTATION TO HR. WANG.

RUSSIANS AS PROPERTY OWNERS, There are a few Russians, also a British broker, who some little time back started with intention of buying every bit of British-owned property, but this resulted in a few more pur- chases which rather upset their ideas. In fact some of those brokers had the intention of buy ing out Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's property, and also lots owned by Messrs. Bush Brothers, but when the latter firm, informed the native broker that the price for their property was Tis, 600,000, the reply was: "I thought land was cheap? It will take years before Talien. wan will be of use, for as we all know it takes time to, built up a place, and the Chinese have no wish to pick up their traps and walk. Our Russian friends will not abandon the Settle ment, and when there were enquiries from the Russian Government for the property owned by the French Mission, Mr. McCaslin, Agent of the A. T. Co., quietly brought this for Tls. 30,000 and he will not sell at any price, the re- sult being that the Russian Consul had to rent one of Mr. Lister's houses, the Russian govern ment paying for additional buildings. No doubt our Russians friends had the idea, and still are under the impression: "Oh we will buy these chaps out, and then we shall have the say."

A RUSSIAN COMMISSIONER.

It is a well-known fact that there is not any society in the world so ready and so quick to recognise a beneficent and enlightened govern. ment as a mercantile community. A case in point occurred a day or two ago in the native city, says the M. C. D. News of of 37th ultimo, the occasion being the presentation of the usuni Myriad names Umbrella, and con- gratulatory and adulatory Jablets to Mr Wang the lately retired district magistrate of Shanghai, by a numerous and representative body of native merchants and compradores of the principal foreign firms, residing. within this limits of the Foreign Settlements.

THE PLAGUE AT KOBE.

The sa akda very gloomy view. The warehousing business, says our contemporary which was improving as the activity of forbign. trade began to be restored, has suffered a 16- clous relapse. The raw cotton which almost filled the godowns and sheds of the Fier Com pany has fallen off to about 1,004 bales, and a similar effect is observed at the Bayeki and Tokyo Warehousing Companies and the Sumitomo Warehouse, a large quantity of goods being taken delivery of with small entries. This is attributed to a fear on the part of the owners of the goods that the godowns may be included in the isolated areas. In the shed Nos, 1, 2 nd 3 an the premises of the middle Customs-house (American. Hafeba), only goods which will suffer no dainage from disinfection now remain. All other goods have been taken. delivery of and the sheds are almost empty, The promtition of the import and export of rags will affect the paper manufacturing busi- ness, and indeed many of the smaller mills are already complaining of the lack of raw material.

The steamers of the Nippon Yusen Kaliba and suka Shosen Kaisha, which are running to the inland seaports, especially in the south- west districts, will not escape loss, as rags form | the principal part of their cargo.

Clearances at the Harbour Office.

A remarkable advance is noticed in the price of lime and carbolic acid. The latter, which was quoted at between 44 and 45 sen before the outbreak of plague, rose to over 80 sen per pound at a bound; some shops are "known to be selling it at one yun. It may also be noted that new drug-shops have appeared for selling disinfectants. Lime, which was quoted at about 27 sen per bag has now rise to ter so sen. As the stack of both articles is said be plentiful, it is probable no further rise will take place. The import tradic is also affected. As the coolies working cargo on board have to undergo disinfection at fixed hours before going to work, great delay in the loading and discharging of cargo is exper- winced. Foreign vessels are likely, it is feared, | to avoid calling at Kobe as much as possible.
