RUSSIA ON THE YALU.

SATISFACTORY AGREEMENT.

Mr. Hagiware, the Secretary of the Japanese Lega ion at Seoul, who was prohibited from landing at Yong-Ampho, finally succeeded in making the Russian authority there, Captain Stromilo, sign a very satisfactory agreement, the chief provisions of which are as follows

That the armed Russians on the Yalu shall be prohibited from seizing timber purchased by the Japanese.

That, with respect to the timber seized by the Russians within the territory, alleged to have been-leased by them, an examination of the same shall be made in the presence of the complainants, the Japanese police, and the Russian officers concerned; and that in case it be found to be Japanese property, it shall be restored to the original owner.

The Russians tender a profound apology for their refusal of a landing to Mr. Hagiwara at Yong-Ampho.

That, with regard to the stopping of the Wakanoura Maru at Yong-Ampho and the landia. of Japanese at that port, definite in- formation shall be se i to us after consultation with "the Viceroy of the Far East."

That until Captain S romiloff shall have → received instructions from Viceroy Alexeieff, the landing of i prinese at Yong- \mpho shall not be prohibited.

A Russian c-py of the above agreement was handed over by the Captain to Mr. Hagiwara. The latter left Yong-Ampho for Seaut on the 30th of October-N, C. D. NewI.

THE SUBSCRIPTIONS. The Chairman said that the next business before them was the subscriptious for the ensuing year. He had already stated that, in his opinion, they ought not to ask for a larger subscription than $10 as they ought to be able to get very many more subscribers for the Institution.

A heavy fee for the Company, but one which was gladly paid for the timely assistances rendered. Had the acrident occurred an hour later, the rescuing vessel would have been out of sight, and it might have been days before any assistance came to hand.

EXTENSION OF THE SUGAR FACTORIES. At a recent special general meeling a resolution was adopted to extend the branch factory at a cost of Yen 36,000 as the existing factories have proved insufficient to supply the demand. It was decided to call up the balance of the share-money remaining unpaid for carrying out this extension. The capital of the Tokyo company is Yen 2,950,020, which Yen 1,440,000 is paid up.
