THE TRANS-SIBERIAN,

Much has been written for and against Russia's big railway across Asia, and, quite recently, we dealt, in these columns, with its real value as a means of communication from a military standpoint. The conclu sions that we drew, which were far from favourable to the line as a means of trans- porting with any dispatch, large masses of men or quantities of military stores, are fully confirmed by appreciations of a well inform ed correspondent of the Times, who, when writing recently to that paper, stated-The unsatisfactory manner in which the manage- ments of the Siberian, and particularly the

THE CRISIS.

RUSSIA HAS NOT REPLIED.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

YOKOHAMA, 1st February,

The recent statement by the Daily Graphic to the effect that Russia's reply has been officially communicat-

their opponent' harks, and in the earlier stages of the game they, panicularly Jordan, were fairly successful. The Club forwa ds were over played right through, and had not the slightest control of the ball in the scrimmage. Corsar, the Albian full-back, played his usual gune and better cannot be said. During the Lutter half he gave up kicking and treated us to some fine, dodgy runs, and was altogether the best man on the field. At three quarter the Albion possess some "nippy" men with "scorer" written all over them, but they are 100 slow in parting with the ball, and threw chance after chance away owing to this selfishness. in the closing stages, they treated the spectators to some nice passing bouts and, with more practice in this department, would be a danger nus quartette.

I have had an opportunity of seeing some of the examination papers that were set at the recent examination by the Inspector of Schools, and I have taken special interest in the tran-fation work from English to Chinese, because that was a lest of the progress made in the other That is the teaching of the Chinese language department of education to which I referred.

I regret to say that the progress in that direc tion is not so satisfactory, but I hope that a recent change I have sanctionel, by which three vernacular schools have been closed and the masters transferred to the District Schools to teach the Chinese language there, may have a beneficial effect. If it has not-and we shall be able to learn by before the next distribution of prizes whether the change has been fruitful of success-then, all I can is that some other measures must be taken. Of one thing myself am determined, and that is that, as far as I can do it, I will have the Chinese boys in the District Schools get a sound education in their own language. I will ask you boys to remember this. I am more or less an employer of labour; at least I am an official who has a good deal to say in the selection, appointment and promotion of Chinese clerks in the Government service. I have also many friends in the commercial world in this Colony, and I can tell you that it is not enough for you to know English only. If you want to be

RUGBY FOOTBALL,

BONGKONG CLUB 7. TEM.S. "ALHOS,"

On Saturday the Hongkong Club entertained the rugby team of the Album on the Happy Valley ground and it must be said entertained them right royally as they presented thein wah zo paints and accepted nothing in return. The weather was a trifle warm for Rugby football from a player's point of ew, but ideal from a spectator's and a goodly number of people lined the ropes. If it were not absolutely re- cessary to use that expression when recounting a football match one might say lined the touch line, as the ropes at Happy Valley have reased to fill their appointed duties. The start being timed for 4 o'clock it was stricily according to tradition that the men should line up about 4.20 and having gut under way treated us to a very poor exposition of the "rugger" code.

Play in the first half was such as to make one wonder what is the opinion of people an Rugby football who have never seen first class matches at home. The navy forwards heat their opponent's nine times out of ten in the scrimmage by having the knowled of how to use their feet.

ANGLO-CHINESH SCHOOLS,

PRIZE PRESENTATION.

H. E. Mr. F. H. May, C.M.G, allended at Wanchal School to-day and presented the prizes to scholars of the Anglo-Chinese District Gor. erament Schools. He was accompanied by Mr. R. A. 1. Ponsonby (private secretary), and there were also present Messrs. E. A. Irving, A. 0. Brawn, C. H. S. Cooper, W. H. Williams, (head master, Saiyingpun school), W. Curwen (hend master Yamali school) and Yung Hee (head) master, Wanchai school).

After a recitation by pupils of the Saiving pun schol, Mr. Irving read the annual report upon the progress of the schools during the past year. He pointed out that the three schools were in existence in 1901 as free schools, and gave elementary instruction in English and Chinese to the children in the neighbourhand. The same Chinese masters were now doing excellent work, although the methods employed, which, were general in Europe and America, were revolutionary in the annals of Hongkong. Under the same roof as the English classes were vernacular classes, in which a sort of education was given, but very few of the boys knew the meaning of what they learned by heart. And if the boys did not learn their own language they did not learn English. They learned three or four school readers almost by heart. That was in the past, but a different system was now in vogue The organisation of the schools was entirely remodelled under English masters, and the results of the last examination showed a vast improvement. In elementary geography the same improvement was shown, and the arithmetic done by the first year boys was exceedingly go d. Composition, however, was weak, but colloquial English showed great advancement, and the senir boys talked English as Wellington did French, according demonstrated that they had their opponent's

In the upper schools frequent translations from English to Chinese and from Chinese to English will be insisted upon.

Play was mostly in favour of the Albion team though occasionally the Glub had a turn in their opponent's territory, nare having very hard lines in a pa sing run up the field which ended in the right wing threequarter being forced into touch. The Albion then were within an ace of scoring times out of number, but lack of ability in their passing arrangements saved the club and the first half ended without score on either side.

Mr. W. H. Williams, on behalf of the staff and the boys. of the District Schools, thanked H. E. for distributing the prizes and for his address to the boys. He also thanked the ladies for their presence and the Inspector of Schools for his report, and concluded by nb. serving that the awards were presented by the Government.

After the boys had cheered H.E., the King, and their month's holiday, the proceedings terminated.

The Times Shanghai correspondent, writing on 29th December. says:- learn on trust- worthy authority that, as the result of conflicting views between the American and Belgian interests since the commencement of work on the Hankow-Canton Railway, those interests are about to be separated, the railway being divided into two sections. The Belgians will control the northern, the American the southern. Negotiations on this basis have been proceed ing for some time past, and are now stated to ba practically concluded between Colonel Thys and New York.

The evening opened with an imitation of the funny iman of the Christy ministrels, the actor giving some excellent examples of negro jokes and coon singing and dancing.

After personifying a London coster- monger, an Irishman, Scotchman and a Frenchman, and giving songs and dancer. appropriate to each of these characters, Mr. Freear gave side-splitting burlesques of The Village Blacksmith and "The Churge of the Light Brigade, besides a most comical imita- tion of a Temperance Lecture.

Mr. Freear is a splendid comedian, his tofatig- able activity is a source of astonishment to onlookers, and every compliment is due to him for the fact that he succeeds in thoroughly entertaining his patrons without a suspicion of coarseness or vulgarity slipping into his repertoire. The performance concluded with a bioscope exhibition by Mr. Rehemanjee, This evening, Mr, Freear will put on an entirely new programme. It is announced that H.

Mr. H. W. Looker (Messrs. Deacon, Looker aid Deacon) appeared on behalf of the plaintiff and Mr. EJ. Grist (Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist) represented defendants.

Mr. Looker explained that plaintiff was the owner or charterer of steamers, and sub-ler them to various persons. Amongst others he sub-chartered the ss.

Mr. Looker observed it related to the agree mens under which the Emma Luyden was to be hired, chattered, or taken by the defendant, and was to the effect that, however small a number af rassengers was carried defendant had to pay for 550, unless by the regulations enforced at Hoihow she was unable to carry that number.
