THE WAR.

THE PORT ARTHUR CANARD.

Despite the assertions of war correspondents with the Russian main army, who, it may be remarked, con know nothing of what is going on at Port Arthur, the statement that the Japanese made an assault on the beleaguered port on the oth instant and were repulsed with the loss of thirty thousand men is, the Kobe Chronicle says, utterly discredited in Japan. As to such an event occurring by the explosion of mines, the Japanese authorities in Tokyo say the statement is ridiculous. No such disaster of such magnitude could in practice occur from such a CRUSC. Indeed, it has now been

ascertained til on the roth and 11th there was not even a skirmish of scouts, let alone such an engagement as the figures of losses presuppose. The authorities at Tokyo bold that the report must have been fabricated by the Russians for their own purposes. It seems, however, that the report was not manufactured by the Russians, at least not by the Russians in the field,—but had its birthplace, like so many simi- Jar reports, in Shanghai. It was stated that the news was based on a message received by the Private Perry won the King's Prize at Japanese Consul at Chefoo, Mr. Mizuno, the Bisley.

Consul in question, has now telegraphed to Shanghai, denying that any such news had reached him or had been given him. The statement that he had received news of a great Japanese disaster at Port Arthur is, he says, a gratuitous falsehood.

THE MISSING steamBR 'HIPSANG."

REPORTED TORPEDOED BY MISTAKE.

The following letter reached us from the General Managers of the Indo-China Steam Navigation Co. at 5 pẩm., to-day :—

"With reference to the various rumours afloat regarding this steamer (Hisang), we beg to advise having this morning received a telegram from Shangbai to the effect that although no definite news has been received our friends there are informed on good autho- rity that the steamer was torpedoed by thẹ Russians on the 16th instant.

All the foreigners on board as well as most the Chinese are reported to be saved and have been taken to Forl Anbar.

POLICY.

Recently, Mr. Sugimura, Director of the Commercial Bureau in the Foreign Office, gave.an address at the Kobe (Japanese) Cham- ber of Commerce before the Nizukuri Kaityo Kenkyukai, or Packing Improvement Investi- gation Association, the subject dealt with being the rapid development of Japan's foreign trade in the past twenty-five years.

Mr. Sugimura said that from 1874 to 1878 he was engaged in Yakobama as a journalist, and at that time made various investigations in regard to the country's foreign trade. During the four years referred to the total value of the foreign trade of Japan was some Y63,000,000 a year-Yokohama representing Y40,000,000, Kobe Y10,000,000, and other ports Y10,000,000, a very small amount compared with the figures for the present day. Since then trade had gradually increased year after year, making great strides since the Japan-Chiaa War. Last year the total foreign trade reached Y600,000,000 in round figures, and it was worth noting that during those twenty-five years the trade of

Yokohama had increased sixfold and that of Kobe twenty-fivefold. The Japanese, however, must not be content with this development, It was necessary for them, to endeavour to develop the trade to the almost.

direct advice was that she left Newchwang on the rgth inst. for Hongkong via Cheloo, but it was afterwards said at the office that she might have gone on to Hongkong direct.

CANTON NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent)

Canton, July 25th.

THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.

The Telegraph has frequently mentioned the Christian College and the work it is doing. It will be of interest to vour readers to know that

arrangements are being made to move the col- lege from Macan to Canton. Although it has carried on its work in Macao under great dis advantages, good work has been done. Stu- dents were not wanting. The buildings renied for college purposes were filled. But it has been felt all along that carrying on a Canton college in Macau was not just the best thing to do. A fine site has been purchased on the river front a short distance below Honam. On this site extensive college buildings are soon to be erected. In the meantime the Faculty has deled to erect temporary buildings and open the next term in Canton some time in September. A contractor has been engaged who agrees to put up the temporary buildings the buildings while in about six weeks' time. of a temporary mature will be well built and of sufficient size to accommodate about 100 boys with lecture rooms and rooms for the professors. work has already begun and will be pushed forward rapidly. This is the beginning of what will be the largest educational plant in South China. The Faculty are to be congratulated upon this extension of their work.

The Hipiang's usual course would not take her near enough Port Arthur for the forts to fire upon her in the way mentioned in our Che- foo telegram, but there is no knowing where she might get to in foggy weather.

CLAIM AGAINST OSAKA SHOSEN KAISIA.

Referring to the class of trade at the two principal ports, Alt.

The rapid increase in the exports from Kobe show-Chinese who saw it said that this happened in ed that Japan tended to be converted from an Pigeon Bay. agricultural country into a manufacturing coun- try, and the increase also showed the great prospenty of the manufacturing industries in Usaka and Kobe.

"I wish to express to you my sympathy for the Japanese nation in your war against Russia And not only my sympathy, all Poland is on your side in their hearts, though many of her sons are obliged to fight against you, being in the Russian army. But if you could read our papers, which are published not only in the part of Poland that is now under Russian con. trol, but also in the Austrian and Prussian patis, you would find that there is only one opinion about the war. Unfortunately, Poland has now no political existence of her own and our sympathy cannot have any positive effect; the only possible means to prove it, that is personal co-operation in the war, has been declined by the Japanese Ambassador in Vienna, whep some young men and some physicians from our country offered to him their services during the war. I am fully aware of the fact that the war against Russia is more than that; it is the war about European and Japanese supremacy in Asia, at least in East Asia, but this does not affect my opinion. I think that everybody has Japan having now become a manufacturing got the right to keep his soil, and only his soil. country, continued the speaker, it was more What has Europe to do in East Asia?

On the method of developing trade, Mr. Sugimura continued: "The best course for developing the foreign trade of this country is, I believe, to study the means for increasing the sale of goods in uncivilised countries. This is also the aim of all other countries, Business men are exerting themselves to supply the markets of countries with manufactured goods, sometimes with the assistance of their respec- Live Governments.

Chinese arrivals from Pigeon Bay stated that they saw about 60 survivors, of whom six were foreigners, from a steamer recently tor- pedoed by the Russians. They were being escorted to Port Arthur by land.

THE MERCHANT SERVICE GUILD.

Some little time ago, attention was called to the action of the Naval Authorities here, in boarding local vessels whose captains flew the flag of the Merchant Service Guild on Sundays and ordering it to be lowered. The flag, it will be seinembered, consists of the Jack, with white diamond bearing the letters "M. S.-G." The objection apparently taken was that the flag bore too much resemblance to the Jack, which merchant vessels are not authorised to fly. But the legality of the flag is proved by the following letter.

"Now the value of our foreigntrade has reach ed the considerable amount of Y600,000,000; the greater part of the business is done through the hands of foreign mercliants resident in Japan, only a small portion being done through the hands of Japanese.
