The work is conducted under the direction of Mr. Kalistroatoff, an engineer, but where and at what distance from the railway the mines are situated is not stated.-N. C. D. News.

ACROBAT IN DANGER.

A good deal of activity is going on here at present in military circles. I noticed five new „regiments arrive here from the north yesterday, They were the 23rd, 27th, 28th, 32nd, and 168ih; all of then East Siberian Regiments, so that we have now here, in addition to the above. named, the and, sih, 14th, 9th, 'roth, rith, 12th, and 13th at least.

GENSAN..

The Vostochny Vertneck says that on 30th October and 14th November, a sale of land took place at Sanchejen in the foreign Settle- ment at Gensan, 38 lots in all being sold. Japanese got 20 lots and Russians 18, a lot situated along the sea-shore falling to the agent of the Chinese Eastern Railway Steam- ship Co.

RUSSIAN KEROSENE.

According to an Odessa paper, the negotia- tions of the Japanese Consul in Odessa, Mr.

Izima, with the oil manufacturers at Baku con- cerning the direct export to Japan of Russian kerosene, have not ended satisfactorily. The firms of Nöbel, Mantasheff Shabaeff and others have told the Consul that until the lapse of the term of their contracts with, foreign agents, they cannot undertake the direct exportation of kerosene to the Far East.

Probably no other case is on record of a paralytic being cured so as to be an acrobat. Mr. Drooko's doctors said what all doctors say about locomotor alaxy, except the few who have witnessed the effect of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, the only medicine ever proved to have cured this terrible disease. Mr. Drooko was snatched from a lingering death of torture. Nor is the disease rare. It may attack anyone..

in Hongkong in 1894 (when the cost of admin- istration in that colony was £250,000 a year and the receipts not above £12,0čo) is pretty cer tain to occur here also. In fact all the leading business men here are, I think, unanimous on that point.

Speaking of Hongkong, the Russians are dis. playing the same anxiety for the afforestation of their new but decidedly bare-looking acquisi. tlon which we once displayed in Hongkong and I think they could not do better than examine the system of afforestation which has wrought such a complete transformation on the once bare hills of the southern island.

TO MAKE OFFICERS WELL-READ.. The Russian General Staff has, according to the Bar Wyed, taken a singular step for the purpose of enabling poor officers to keep abreast with the times in regard to general and profes- sional literature. It has made an arrangement by which such officers can obtain any book they like from the army book store without having to pay for it until after the lapse of one year.

THE RUSSO-CHINESE BANK. According to the Vestachny Vyestneck, the tranfer of the director of the local branch of the Russo-Chiness Bank, Mr. A. A. Maslenajk- off, to the directorship of the bank in Port | Arthur (decided upon it is said in consequence of the desire to establish in the city wherein reside the Viceroy, the representative of the Emperor, in the Far East, a representative. bank) is, it appears, postponed, in view of the fact that the branch at Port Arthur is not quite independent, being subordloats to the Shanghai branch of the bank, a condition of affairs which Mr. Maslepnikoff finds undesirable and injurious.
