As one side of the case concerned a merchant vessel, the guild felt that an assessor with ex- perience in the Merchant Service was essential, but apart from this fact they thought it extremely undesirable that whilst one assessor was a cap- tain of one of His Majesty's ships, the other should be a subordinate officer of the same vessel. Without questioning the good faith or capabilities of either assessor, the guild held that the appointment of a subordinate officer was calculated to interfere very greatly with his independence of judgment, and undoubted- ly he would not care to press his opinions against those of his superior officer.

The Japanese hold, secretly but strongly, all the districts northwards along the Liao River towards Biominting.

The Chunchuses [mounted brigands) are mustoring for important operations to the north of Mukden.

Reuter's correspondent at Mukden states, under date the 13th instant, that the Japanese are thirty versts (20 miles) away.

There was no sign of an advance.

The Times corespondent at Tokio says that the Russian coal supply for the Manchurian Railway depends upon homines at Kaiping, Yeatai, and Washun.

The first two are no longer available. The third one, which is 23 miles to the cast of Mukden, will probably soon fall into Japan. esc lands.

By this move three million dollars is cut out of the revenue and the thirteen million dollars increase of farm revenue, about which there was so much loud talk on the eve of Sir Frank Swettenham's departure for Europe, has a pretty big slice cut off it.
