ASIA'S OPPORTUNITY.

The great International Exposition which is to be held at St. Louis, U.S.A, in 1994, to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France by the United States, will have a direct bearing on the commercial and political development of Far Eastern nations and colonics. The remarkable success that has attended the diplomatic negotiations of Commissioner-General BARRETT with Asiatic Governments for their participation has been due probably in a considerable measure to his skilful presentation of the mutual benefits to result alike to them and the United States from their taking part on a large scale. All the world is now more concerned about Asia than ever before. The events of the last decade have attracted the attention of foreign governments and peoples increasingly each BLEND year until now there is a degree of interest

The St. Louis World's Fair, or Louisiana Purchase Exposition as it is technically known will undertake to in clude in its vast extent of buildings and grounds, and in its marvellous collec- tion of exhibits, a reproduction-as it were -in miniature of Asia and 'Australasia, or of lands and peoples bordering upon the Pacific seas.

According to the clearly worded representations of Commissioner BARRETT, the millions of visitors at St. Louis in 1904 will be able, with their own eyes, to see these countries. as they are to-day and to form from tangible evidence a correct idea of their actual and potential wealth, of their real resources and products, of their area and population, of their racial, social, political, and educa. tional as well as their commercial, physical and material characteristics. The St. Louis

Exposition will afford the first opportunity of any magnitude to Asia and Australasia, under the new conditions that now exist to demonstrate to the world what they are doing and can do in the competition of A. S. WATSON & Co., nations. The Columbian Exposition at

On the motion of the Hon. May, seconded by the Ilon. Thomson, the Bill was passed with amendments, the most important being a reduc tion from $15 to $ia per $1,000 for land registra tion fec.

THE STAMP-ORDINANCE.

Several amendments were proposed, amongst them one that the limit of exemption be fixed at $25 instead of Szɔ by the Hon. Playfair who, referring to the Colonial Secretary at the last meeting, said--He rashed us through; by the time I was on one page he was on the other.

Hon. Thomson-You may find more errors To alter it we will have to remit the Bill.

Hon. Playfair-Well, he went ahead to miles an hour and we could not keep up.

Hon. Thomson-The whole thing was thresh

out by the Finance Committee. Hon. Murray Rumsay-Very helpless; can- not help themselves being rushed.

flon. Playfair Well, you do not help us much.

A division was taken, when six'voted for the amendment and five against it.

Terrible, Captain Percy Scott, the officers and crew were "at home" to the wives, children, and other relatives, to the number of 1,000, of those who have served in the ship during the commission. There was no lack of amuse- ment. There was a figure in a dress suit, dubbed "The Old Man of the Sea," a chair on lines from the poop bridge to a distance of

about 150 feet, being worked by bluejackets, "Punch and Judy," and several clowns. The ship was gay with bunting, and tea was served on the upper deck and the spare mess deck.

HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE

COUNCIL.

In our last issue a short summary was given of the Legislative Council meeting that was

Chicago in 1893 antidated the China-Japan war, the American occupation of the Philip pines, the Boxer outbreak, the rise of Japan to her new place in the family of nations, and the Australian Federation. On the other hand, the Paris Exposition of 1900 came too soon after this succession of far-reaching events to take full advantage of them. Now comes the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904 at a most opportune time to portray the New Asia and the New Australasia. As a proceeding last evening as were going result of Mr. BARRETT's efforts,-aided by to press, The following is an extended his former experience as American Minister account- to Siam and his intimate knowledge of the Orient, Japan, Korea, Eastern Siberia, China, and the Philippines will make un- precedented exhibits at St. Louis, and it is probable that Indo-China, Siam, India, FURNITURE Ceylon, and Australasia will take similar

Regarding the recommendation made by the Hon. Sharp respecting the fees of the Govern ment Civil Hospital for first and second class

patients, he now pointed out that the re commendation as regards Government servants was for those drawing over $200 a month?

His Excellency, who refrained from voting because all the unofficial members were unani- mous in their desire to increase the figure for exemption, declared the amendment carried.

The Bill was afterwards read a third time and passeal,

His Excellency explained that the various Bills had been hurried through because it was desirable that some of them should be sent

home at once to the Secretary of State. Care would have to be taken, however, that the amendments accepted by the Council were reproduced in the Bills as finally drawn up.

The Council adjourned sine die,

Some time. afterwards, the prisoner returned with about thirty other coolies, and chased the deceased up to the scaffolding, and struck him a severe blow on the chest.

To say that China in still asleep, and has not followed in the wake of. Western powers is a fallacy, as far as crime is concerned. For the past three weeks, a band of no less than eight mounted men, on wiry ponies and dressed in the costumes of typical cow-boys, with large slough hats and armed with Winchesters and revolvers have been holding up several pawn, shops, and pedestrians in the prefectures of Si Chew and Shan Tak These ruffians are all Chinese, and have recently returned from the States. The guards are powerless against them, whilst the local authorities have devised every means to capture them buttons purpose.
