AGREEMENT OVER GERMANY'S
STIPULATIONS.
As Germany's proposal to China, that she bind herself not to concede to any other nation any preferential advantages in the Yangtze Valley, whether political, military, com- mercial or economic, has been accept ed by the Chinese Government, there is no further cause for discussion on
this point.

Mr. Chamberlain's Tour.
LONDON, November 6th. Mr. Chamberlain's wishes are to proceed on his mission with an open and unpre judiced mind, his sole desire being to bring together the kindred people in one great African nation under the British flag. The Re-Settlement of South Africa.
The results of the re-settlement of South Africa, and the re-patriation of the burghers hitherto has exceeded the most sanguine ́anticipations. The Government will liberal- ly compensate Natal and Cape loyalists, apart from the two millions sterling already voted.
LATER.
The Volunteers for Somaliland. The Foreign Office regrets its inability to accept the Roer contingent of volunteers for Somaliland.
Mr. Chamberlain's Tour, The Cape newspapers resent Mr. Cham berlain's going first to Natal on board the Cape's cruiser..
American Politios.
The next House of Representatives will be composed of 204 Republicans and 179 Democrats. The result is considered a per- sonal victory for Mr. Roosevelt,
Tammany is stronger than ever in New York..
STEAMSHIP SERVICE WANTED-Sam Francisco wholesale merchants and manufac turers have experienced the need of regular stenics to North China ports and Vladivostock, Siberia. Trade with these poris, it appears, is receiving particular attention from northern.. firms, who have been instrumental in establish- ing lines to that portion of the Asiatic coast not already covered1y the old lines of steam- ships, with the rest that they are likely to control the growing trade. Flour, it is said, is especially needed by the people tributary to The ports mentioned, and this commodity Torms the b sis of the business that has warranted the establishment of the new line stared, con- necing Puget Sound with North China and Siberia..

The litle difficulty which was threatening the railway last week in regard to excluding Mr. Kinder's foreiga staff from the line beyond the Wall, appears to have passed off, is two of
the engineers have gone out there now, it is said pornianently. Like many another little Chinese try on it had to fil through As the Russian hand was ill-conceal d in the business it appeared possible that the Chinese would show a bold front; but wiser counsels prevailed and for the present Mr. Kinder promises to have things all in his hands again. By this time you have probably heard that Mr. Edmund Cousins of the Princely House has been ap- pointed on the Board of Directors as representa- five of the shareholders, but it is not auticipated that he will be more than a passive watcher of events so long as those inte ests are not threatened.
THE K.W.F
The Royal Welsh have left here to-day, and as a regiment leave less gen ine regret behind than any regiment which has hitherto been here. It is hard to say why however, ome of the young officers made many friends at will be much missed.
CHINESE DISGUSTED.
The Chinese are expressing great disgust at being made to clean their streets just as they hd to under the T.G. They fondly hoped that the return of the Chinese would also mean the return to fors er easy going free- enhanced inn hy the fact that the Chinese dom in respect to dirt. Their grievance is Authorities are collec ing taxes for municipal duties never performed. Under the T. P. the people had to sweep wder and light the streets themselves, but no rates for these things were collected. Now 20% of the house ent is levied and still the people have to do as much as formerly.
POWER OF VICEROYS AND GOVERNORS. I have just learned that'a Japanese corres- pondent writing from Peking itely says Jung Lu at a recent audience urged the ED. to take immediate steps to curtail the power of Viceroys and Governors. Their authority he said should be confined to 'civil, ad- ministration and not extend to military matters, as in cases of emergency the Throne had not sufficient authority over them to ensure obedience to commands. It was therefore dangerous to have troops under the author t of men whose Submission to all orders, could at be fully relied upon The troops should be uniter a s. ccist official and under the direct control also of the Ta tai, Generds.
It eens easy and, in fact.natural ta link this to the Manchu progranine have alrea ly outline for you, and if the advice is acted upon this suspicion will be confirmed.

Since the issue of our last circular dated the 24th ul img our Yaro Market, notwith- standing a continued brisk demand for Shanghai and the impossibility of replacing the same in Bombay at our ruling quotations, has remained in the same state as last reported.

Petit (Sun) ros, (Mill) 105, and Pabaney 10s, chiefly for cargo to arrive in Six to eight weeks.
