dissolved.

In this connection, it is interest. ing to read what an Osaka journal wrote, in a somewhat prophetic strain, quite recently. The Asahi says that Kim Giok-kin, a Corean refugee, was stabbed to death at Cheloo n -short time prior to the declaration of war against China, and the Diet was dissolved. The war followed these events. Now U Han-zou has been assassinated and if the coming session of the Diet should be dissolved there will be a repetition of the course of events of a few years ago.

Russia and Japan-Peaceful Prospects.

LONDON, 9th December.

The rumours impending the Russo Japanese settlement are daily becoming more persistent and precise. The Associat- ed Press of New York publishes a circum. stantial telegram from St. Petersburg stating that, as a result of the Tsar's action, Russia's reply makes only minor modifications of Japan's proposals which, if accepted, Russia will acknowledge Japan's right to a protecto- rate of Korea while making reservations re- garding naval stations and fortifications threatening the sea communications of Port Arthur.and Vladivostock. Russian conces- sions for freedom of trade in Kores will be guaranteed and the question of the evacua- tion of Manchuria left in abeyance,

LATER.

British North Borneo. · Sir Charles Jessel presided at the North Borneo dinner in London. A distinguished company was present. Mr. Cowie welcomed Chinese immigration to Borneo and defend. ed the policy of railway extension which had already stimulated industry to a remarkable

.extent.

He ridiculed the assertion that the North Borneo Company was anxious to tempt Great Britain to buy the colony and

hoped shortly to announce that arrange ments had been made to work coal, iron and manganese on a large scale.

The Italian Budget, The Italian Budget statement is likely to show an extremely favourable state of the country's finances and a surplus of six million lire is anticipated.

Turkey and Bulgaria.

It is reported in Constantinople that Bul- garian bands, have 'crossed the frontier at Adrianople near Dervishtepe and attacked the Turkish forts. They were repulsed with loss,

(Kobe Chronicle.)

The Late Bishop Anzer.

BERLIN, Nov. 30th. The reports that the sudden death of Dr. Anzer, Bishop of Shantung, was caused by the unfavourable reception accorded him by the Pope are declared to be absurd.

On the contrary, the Bishop was most cor- dially received both by the Pope, the Papal Secretary, and the chief of the Propaganda.

The appointment of a Bishop to succeed Dr. Anzer at Shantung is regarded as a difficult

matter.

Italians, one French and one English. The inaugural ceremony was presided over by the Bishop, who delivered an excellent speech His Excellency the Governor also spoke and

was followed by Mr. A. J. Basto, na president of the Association for the Promotion of Education of the Macaenses. He congratu-

Jared His Lordship upon the inauguration of the school for girls, and, proceeding with the speech, he dwelt on the influence of women in society. The speaker said that as school | makes the man, and man society, His Lord ship had done well, at the commencement of his government, in reconstructing, so to speak, the basis of the future social condition of Macao, by educating the weaker sex. He thanked His Lordship for the important im- provement that had been introduced into the colony and welcomed the Sisters into whose charge he gave over one of his daughters to be brought up as a boarder.

DEPARTURE OF THE GOVERNOR,

The Governor leaves-to-morrow with all his family for Lisbon, the government being taken over by the Administrative Council, of whom the Bishop is the presidest; the other members are the judge, a military officer and the colonial secretary who, in his acting capacity, has, however, no vote. The acting colonial secretaryship will be assumed by the crown

THE VICEROY.

Some days ago I reported the Viceroy as

fully recovered from his late illness. Perhaps this is stating the matter rather too strongly. The Viceroy is reported much better and able to attend to considerable business, but he is not yet robust. In fact it is said that his health is considerably impaired. Yesterday he paid several friendly visits to some of his friends in .he city.

SHANGHAI SHARE REPORT.

The following résumé of the week's share

that Chinese are necessary to the industry of transactions is from Messrs. J. A. Sullivan and

the American possessions. That this claim is unfounded is demonstrated not only by the in vestigation made by the representative of the American Federation of Labour sent to Bawaii, China, Japan and the Philippines, but it is bome out by the estimates of native and American workmen to the effect that there are sufficient numbers of men to perform all the work and all, the kinds of work which now or which may is the near future be required; that, as a matter of fact, in the Phil ppines there are more half-breed Chinamen than is good for either the industrial development of the islands

or for the economic, social and political inter- ests of the Philippine people. In Hawaii the Japanese have invaded every industry and call ing and here as well as in several sections of the mainland of the United States have become and are a growing menace to the well-being of our people. From every section comes the com- plaint and the warming that unrestricted Japan- ese immigration is as grave a danger to-day as was at any time in our history the unrestricted immigration of Chinese. The convention should emphatically declare its position upon the immi. gration question, not only from continental Eu- rope, but from China and Japan, into the main- land and the insular possessions of the United States, I would recommend that the appoint ment of a special committee be authorized early in our session to hold meetings, during our con- vention and report thereto fully before its close.

•

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES. From the reports which reach us of the labour conditions in the Philippines and our own knowledge of the Chinese in our own and other countries, we have the right to and will dissent from Governor Taft's suggestion that any Chi- nese be admitted to the islands under any con- ditions. We cannot, however, but commend the very enlightened view he takes in his opposition to the general admission of Chinese, and also to the views he expresses on the labour movement,

Referring to anti-trust agitation, Gompers made the following remarks:

Attention has been called to the fact that un.

der the guise of so-called anti-trust laws lay the hidden purpose to attack the organizations of labour. We are all familiar with the so- called Sherman anti-trust law, and we are also aware of the fact that under its provisions the only persoas ever indicted were a number of

's report, published on the 5th December. The variad antagonistic interests of specula- tars, shown by shorts selling at cheaper rates for futures than are obtainable for cash, tend to stagnate the possibilities of our present market, and render it difficult to give a true gauge of actual values in the absence of cash transac tops. During the week this speculative ele- ment has been rife and but little interest has bece taken in spot shares. London, sight is quoted to-day at 2/4 13/16.

Mr. Miller says that there were 20,000 Chi- nest junks registered at Newchwang This is only a very small percentage of the number in China.
