The Situation in the Far East.

LONDON, 4th January." The departure of the Russian Squadron at Bizerta has been postponed for some days In consequence of telegraphic instructions.

The Peace Bureau at Berne has drafted a memorandum in support of the petition of the Powery calling on them, under the Hague Convention, to offer Russia and Japan their services with a view to a peace

ful settlement of their difficulties.

LATER..

The Situation. The Russian reply is either despatched or about to be despatched. According to various inspired reports from St. Petersburg it is quite conciliatory, and even if it does not concede everything Japan has asked, it will certainly pave the way to further negotia tions. It is worthy of note that the Con- tinental press always represents the Russian replies as pacific, and the attitude of Japan as provocatives; in any case the prevalent feeling to-day is peaceful.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

23rd December. Chang Yen-Mao's degradation is evidently quite a serious affair, but whether it is purely a palace intrigue so to speak, or a very much deeper scheme altogether is not yet clear, There is a very strong suspicion felt that there is much more in the affair than appears on the surface and that Russia may be indirectly behind the whole thing. The demils of the situation are embodied in the following Im- perial dispatch of Yuan Shi-kai, which prac- tically amounts to a secret edici.

FIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL

Dainage to the extent of about '$14,000 was caused by a file which broke out in a three-storied building used as a jeweller's shop and foreign goods store at 98 Queen's Road Central carly this morning. It is stated that a cook employed on the premises had occasion to go up to the first floor and accidently dropped a lighted | torch on to a quantity of inflammable material with the result that the room was quickly in a b'aze. The Brigade was communicated with and Chief Inspector Eaker and Chief Engineer D. MacDonald arrived on the scene in charge of the men and appliances, but owing to the water being turned off in the mains al the time same slight delay occurred in get ting the hose to work. Soop, however, the engine was pumping a good supply from the Praya, and us the fire had already obtained a gand hold of the building the firemen turned their attention to seightouring property which was in danger of becoming ignited. The reof of 98 had already collapsed, and by the time the flames were overcome the whole bilding

had been considerably damaged.

He is to recover the mines and also Chingwantao which was also opened by Government orders and with Chinese capital., Viceroy Yuan is directed to use the utmost dispatch and lose no time in discovering ways and means to recover the said property.

The Viceroy accordingly communicated at once with the Customs Taotai Tong pointing out to him that the revenue of the Mining Company was intended for naval defence and railway expense, and the management thereof was placed in the hands of officials specially

appointed by the Government, and although merchants were allowed to hold shares the property was essentially Government property, and Chingwantao was opened solely for the Government's use and benefit by Taotais Li Huang and Chow,' appointed by the former Viceroy of Chihli. It was not therefore in any way the property of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Co., and could not be regarded as such nor as the property of the nation was it saleable. The control of the place must there. fore be immediately restored to the Chinese, and he directed Taotai Tong to see to this immediately:

A much needed improvement in the policing T of the large and growing district of Yaumati has just recently been effected.

Considering the area and the large population amongst whom the members of the Police Force have to maintain order annals of crime in Hongkong had not recorded in Yaumati, it is not a little surprising that the greater events that stand against the villages with a notoriety for being the abode of the worst type of the population in the Colony.
