There was no lack of volunteers for this dangerous lask, but much care was requisite in deciding who would be most likely to succeed in the allempt. After many inquiries, Cavby Ensign Wata-anki, who was known to all as extremely brave, energetic and determined, was selected, and it was arranged that he should be accompanied by Mr. Katsura (an interpreter), and a non. commissioned officer, Iwata. After careful thought, they decided to disguise themselves as Chinese chokes. Dressing themselves in ragged Chinese clothes, they painted their faces with sool from the bottoms of some pans, but were at a loss how to prepare their food, If they had carried any quaD- tity of that which they were in the custom of taking, they would certainly have been suspected if they had fallen into the hands

Russia's Internal Troubles,

But on each of their disguises and Mr. Katsura's good know- occasion they escaped, thanks to the excellence ledge of the Chinese language. In one instance, however, they barely escaped with their lives, While reconnoitring from an elevated position a short distance east of Liaoyang, about twenty Cossacks suddenly made an appearance. The Liso river, with the Russians, in hot pursuit, Japanese ran as hard as they could toward the and jumping into the river, they managed to hide themselves among the foliage of the bank, supporting themselves by clinging to the root of a tree. In this way they just managed to evade the notice of their pursuers. Eventually they succeded in thoroughly examining the Russian positions in the vicinity, and even at Liaoyang Itself. At the end of two weeks, during the whole of which they had subsisted entirely on the bean refuse, they returned to the army with information which greatly faci litated General Oku's operations.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

LOCAL REGULATIONS UNDER THE CONVENTION.

The following regulations, made by the Governor is Council under the Sugar Conven- tion Ordinance are printed in the current num- ber of the Garelle ;~:

No sugar shall be imported into the Colony except at the port of Victoria, and the master of every vessel having on board as cargo any sugar shall on arrival forbwith furnish to the harbour master a manifest of Buch sugar.

and (c) the country of origin. S

2. All sugar imported or brought into the Colony shall be accompanied by the following evidence of origin: A certificate indicating (a) the kind and, quality of the sugar; (5) the kind, number, and marks of the packages

3. The said certificate: shall wher possible be signed and issued by the fiscal authority having jurisdiction in the country of origin of of despatch, such fiscal authority, being daly empowered for that purpose by his Goverment Where there is no such fiscal authority the said certificate may be signed and issued by- a British consular officer in the country of origin or of despatch.

4. Inasmuch as it is possible that sugar may occasionally reach Hongkong before the arrival of the certificates of origin re: lating to the same, and it would be in convenient and expensive to imponers if such sugar were not delivered until the arrival of the ssid certificates, it shall be com petent for the superintendent of imports and exports to issue a permit for the delivery; of such sugar on the security of a depost of such amount, or of a bond in such penalty, as he may thin it for the due production of the

to present the matter anew to the Golden Rule diplomatist, Secretary Hay, who was petitioned by thirty-three American missionary societies, representing a majority of the American people, to urge such action upon Great Britain at the time when the Boxer insurrection opened up international relations with China. Probably the Boer war made that stem an inopportune- time for a friendly nation to raise such an issue; but it is hoped that Secretary Hay will be fed by deputations, petitions, letters and the press to see that the strategic hour for such action is now at hand. The press of the world may also be expected to reenforce the strong anti-opium sentiment in the British Empire by that new and mighty force, international public opinion, that the greatest stain upon the record of Eng. land and of Christendom may be speedily removed. Another consideration that may operate as a flanking movement upon the British Goverment is, that Russia loves no opportunity to remind China of the contrast between her course in suppressing opium in Manchuria and England's in forcing it.upan other parts of China. A Danish missionary secretary, operating in Manchuria before the war, testified to the more favourable conditions for missionary work there than in other paus of China because of Russia's anti-opium aith tude. Yet another flanking movement is the steady decline in British revenue from opium sales in China because the natives are raising it themselves since they must tolerate it; but Mr. Wu Ting-fang, when Chinese Minister at Washington, assures the writer that this do mestic trade would not prevent the speedy prohibition of opium in Chies, as in Japan, if England should withdraw the treaty by which the traffic is enforced. Surely the world will now insist on China's release from this supreme
