For the first quarter of 1904.05, Calcutta's trade by sea with tureign countries gives a very large expansi n in value. The three months' trade was valued at over 23 crores or an ad- vance of 3 crores. Imports contibuted 176 lakhs to this increase and exports 150 lakhs.

According to the fifth Article of that Treaty the Chinese Government under took to remove within the 'next two years. the artificial obstructions to navigation in the Canton River." In less than three weeks the time will have expired; but now that a decided move has been made we can complain only of the lengthy period allowed to elapse before the Imperial authorities have thought fit to redeem their pledge of 1902. How long it will take for the contractors lu complete the work it is practically impos sible to estimate until a thorough survey has been made of the barriers, but from what we have gleaned in the course of constant inquiries the task is by no means so light as

SMALLPOX RAVAGING THE COUNTRY.

Since reference was made some days ago to the outbreak of smallpox in Brunei, no further news on the subject has been received. The Straits Times correspondent in Labuan, how- over, confirms the reports as to the extraordin. ary virulence of the epidemic, and remarks that statements as to the number of deaths which have already, occurred are rather under than over the mark. The disease was imported into Brunei from Labuan same three months ago. About 200 cases were treated in Labuan which is 8 per cent of the population-but it is believ ed that the known cases constitute only about
