THE EAST ASIATIC CO., LTD.

The British Consul at Copenhagen, in his report on the trade of Denmark for 1902, remarks that the business carried on by the enterprising East Asiatic Company during 1902 was most satisfactory, and in spite of low freights, which appear to have been universal, the shareholders have received 8 per cent.. much the same as in former years. The com. pany say that trade in China has not improved as much as was expected. The decreasing value of silver and the want of a gold standard have been much felt, and the ab sence of these has caused fluctuations, &c.

of these more important matches, As it is, there has not been very much of interest in the home play this year so far. We are suffering a little from the reaction of the past two or three seasons when the well-known Cricket of our own people was supplemented or attacked by strong players from military and naval visitors. There was never any lack of life in a match if General Richardson and Captains Rose and Price were about. It is doubtful if Shanghai cricket. was ever at a higher level than in 1903, when though there was an unprecedentedly strong bady of officers from the tremendous fleet and the garrison collected here, yet the Senior Club found no difficulty in winning their matches against bath services united. After that came the visit to Honc kong which terminated in a double victory, a fairly easy one over Hong kong, a toughly contested one over the Straits, the Shanghai team winning, it will be remen bied, by one wicket, or as was telegraphed up to us by a leg-bye" which was the literal truth.

The protest of Mr. Hayashi is a very long document, and we (China Gazette) have re Geived a very full resume of its text from Korean sources, as follows":—

The reason why Japan has thought it neces- say to give warning to your (Korean) Govern- ment is that Japan desires to see the mainten- ance of the independence and sovereign rights of your country (Korea) preserved.

The Pachua and Yuzawa left Hankow before the Payong had arrived. They passed the Payang at Kiukiang on the morning of August 18th.

The China Gazette of the 21st inst. makes the following editorial comments on the Poyang mystery."

Mr. Hayashi insists upon getting an exclusive settlement for Japan upon the same spot, as Russin, and moreover he claims the same rights as Russia along the banks of the Yalu river.

To obtain these points Japan, will not hesitate to break off the friendly relations which she has so long maintained with Korea, Mr. Jordan, British Minister to Korea, told the Korean Government that if Korea re, cognized the action of Russia at Yong Am-pho the British Government will recognize the district as a port open to the world's trade.
