In order to
encourage Russian native fisheries along the sea coast of Eastern Siberia, says the Kokumiņ· Saimbun of the 28th alt, the Russian Government promulgated a statute in 1899 known as the temporary regulations of fisheries within the jurisdiction of the Governor general of the Ainur District By the third article of the same statate foreigners are forbid den from being employed in the fisheries alung the coast of the Kamtchatka pad one other article providing ilat the Governor, general of Division. But there is a proviso made to the the Amur district may grant special previleges to foreigners to be so employed under special circumstances. Under this proviso many a Japanese found employment for years past This year they were again making preparations for their enterprise of the season, when it was suddenly reported that the Governor general of the Amur District would not give for the coming season the usual previleges hitherto allowed to these foreign fishermen. The damages thus incurred are roughly estimated to amount to 500,000 ye!!.
By the thirteenth article of the said statute preference is always to be given to applicants of Russian nationality for the annual lease of fisheries, whereas before then the previous lease holder da preferential right in order to protect their vested interests-vested because of the improvement given by investment of capital. The regulation applies aliķe to Sagab lien, Kamchatka and eller divisions of the District. But so far the Russian Government, considering the inequity and inconvenience

Emina Haven is distant about three miles from Padang, with which it is connected both by road and rail. The harbour is a beautiful, miniature one, and splendidly laid our with 'berths for 4 ships alongside, and room for 3 others at buoys; coal is brought down to the wharf from collieries about So miles inland.
We found the U.S. ship General Alava, Captain Halsey, in the harbour, he baving arrived with the American astronomers on the 4th from Manila. The Americans are by far the most numerous, the principal party being from the Naval Observatory, New York. It consists of eleven members under Professor
Skinner and has different stations inland from Padang up in the bills at Fort de Keck, Lolak and Sawah-Loento.
They are splendidly equipped, having been. brought out by government transport all the way, and voted a sum of 10,000 dollars gold for expenses. They very, courteously invited all the other astronomers to join 'them. Besides these there are three other farties from Boston and New York, bringing the American total up to seventeen all told.
The Japanese party arrived at Padang the day we left and I don't know where they are going to locate themselves! On that date the Russians had not yet arrived, though they were expected.

He forged letters, he employed traitors, he sent for food when he was starving to the man against whom he was plotting. But why not? What's war but murder? And if you're ready to kill a man, why should you scruple to lie to him and scheme against him? If you don't like Funston's way of doing things, your complaint lies not against him, but against war.

But he has the wisdom to know that foreigners cannot be expelled, and that they know much which China would do well to learn.
