interests for the future. In another column will be found a letter from our Tientsin
Correspondent in which it is stated that, even the Chinese do not think that the force to by left for the protection of the Legations and the lines of communication will be sufficient, In other words the Chinese fear that so soon as the homeward bound troops have left, the ball will be set rolling again by the Boxers, and the state of northern China will be as bad as ever it was at this time last year.
TUNG FUCHSIAN is said to be on the war- path once more and brigandage is on the increase, so it does not look as though the
try were yet in a fit state to be left to the tender mercies of the Chinese troops for the preservation of order. Even in Canton apprehensions are being felt of renewed dis turbances in the north, and our Correspondent tells us that the traders are fearful of sending goods up in large quantities.
This does not look very hopeful for trade.. If the Chinese once take fright, all trade must needs come to a standstill, and there can be little doubt but they are on the verge of a panic now. We do not look forward with any degree of confidence to a long mainten ance of tranquility after the withdrawal of the troops. In all probability the anti-foreign party will see in the withdrawal another chance of striking at the foreigner, particularly as the prime movers of the Boxer rising, the men who were the root and cause of it all, have been allowed to escape punishment.

Tite funeral ceremony of the late Mr. Hoshi ok place at Shokoji, Shiba, on the 26th wit., says the Kobumin Shimbun, the bier having left his residence at 8 A. M. Countless multitudes assembled at the temple, including nobles and statesmen of highest ranks and influence and other noted citizens all to mourn the dramatic end of the statesman's career. Marquis Ito, the President of the Rikken Seyu Kwal, and Count Itagaki, the former leader of the Liberals and an old friend of the deceased read their rather short but extremely pathetic, funeral eulogies on the occasion,
ANYONE who had been condemned for his sins to visit the Police Court this morning would surely, at the first asking, have promised he would never do it again. The stench was awful. About 150 Chinese men and women grouped together in a small confined space. Not a breath of air, just sheer dirt, rags, open sores and all the outward signs of hopless, squalid poverty and crime. The Government need not fool with overcrowding amongst the Chinese when they have, and seem satisfied with, such a fever den as the Hongkong Police Court, neither fit for inan or beast.
IN view, says the Nagasaki Press, of the newly-established beer tax to be enforced on the 1st October next, the principal breweries some time aga raised their prices by one yen per case of four dozen bottles, and intend to again raise the prices before the enforcement of the new tax. This increased price has caused the appearance on the market of very inferior brands of beer. It is reported that the latter, which are quoted at low rates are now. being demanded by the public to such an extent that the sale of genuine beer such as Kirin, Asahi, Yebiau, Sapporo, and Kabuto, etc. has been greatly affected.

As a matter of fact we can do with a lot more of them, but we must get men as well. It is not pleasant to contemplate how short handed our Navy is. Unless more men are forthcoming it will be no use carrying out large building programmes.
CONSIDERING how very short of water we are, it is a pity that the Chinese should be allowed to contaminate watercourses in the way they are so fond of doing. We note that the water. course in Happy Valley, just past the Windsor Garden, is being used as a dustbin. This sort of thing ought to be put a stop to, as also should the Chinese habit of using every bridge as a handy latrine." The Chinanan never seems-to be happy unless contaminating something. He reminds one of Rudyard Kipling's camel,

AT six o'clock this morning we noted two well- known beach-combers taking a pull at a stand- pipe in Kowloon, evidently to wash the taste of last night's drink out of their mouths before starting to exploit the European houses on the Peninsula. We have seen these two men about the place for the last month and they have seldom been sober. It is no kindness to give wastrels of this sort money, for it all goes in drink and is often the means of turning one against a really deserving case. One of these two men pretends to be a printer out of work.

MR. FÜZIKAWA, who was connected with the Nagasaki German Consulate, recently resigned his position, says the Press, in order to take service as German interpreter in the local Chiho Saibanslo. The court is to be congrau. On Friday last we recorded a plucky rescuelated on having secured the services of Mr. from drowning effected by a Chinaman from one of the P. & O, lighters.
