Protesting Against The War.

LONDON, 28th December.

A banquet of 1,000 people has been given At Pavaloff Hall, St. Petersburg, protest against the war; the day chosen was the anniversary of the revolution of 1825. The speakers who declared that the restora- tion of peace was hopeless so long as Russia had no constitution, were vociferously applauded.

A meeting of Zemstvus in the province of Moscow, became a very excited anc, and caused demonstrations in the streets, where thousands who were able to obtain ad. mission cheered noisily.

LATER,

The assemblage at the Pavloff Hall was widely representative; it was called a ban- quet to evade the prohibition against meet-

(From our Naval Correspondent.)

On the North Sea Outrage so far as we can judge from the evidence as it reads in the home papers little action of the Russian Fleet in firing on the extenuation, can be found for the North Sea irawlers. It, however, appears that the firing was carried out ant from the ships which actually turned their search lights rm to, the fishermen, hur from others accompanying them his may of course bo in part accounted hand to distinguish guas fired from, as it were, for from the fact that it would be exceedingly the very eye of the light on account of the direct glare as anyone who has had the light from one of ndr warships flashed on him would fully realize.

The speeches were the most fervid; a reso lution denounced the war and demanded a legislature, elected by means of the ballot. The President and forty members of the Chernigov Zemstvo have resigned in conse quence of a Communiqué; the branch therefore has been dissolved. Prince Galit zene and the Mayor of Moscow have resigned. These and other incidents indi- cate the growing ferment.

The recent Decree of the Tsar is so worded that it is variously regarded as con- ceding much and as conceding nothing beyond vague promises, meanwhile the un- qualified language of the Government Communiqué causes deep disappointment to the Reformers. The Moscow-Zemstvo has adjourned indefinitely after adapting resolution declaring that the Delegates are so concerned at yesterday's Communiqué that they are unable to conduct the business of the branch with the necessary calm.

In the future when the institute is occupied the buildings.in Hill Street will be reserved for morgue purposes, but in the meantime all the work at Dr. Hunter, the bacteriologist in Hong-lle described Captain Yribar as a cautious, kong, and his Chinese staff, is centred there.

There are two large chatabers which have been set apart as the mortuary. Each chamber has sixteen slate tables, and all the appliances necessary for such a place are installed. The windows are covered from top to bottom with a very finely-strung gauze., The walls are, laid

The persistence of the small Chinese mer chants, who were constantly calling up to in quire after the boat, was both exasperating and amusing. The large quantity of poultry which is aboard is divided amongst a dozen or more of them, and the mournful expression on their faces as each time they are informed that nothing has been heard of the steamer, made even the agent, worried beyond expression though he is, to laugh despite his griet.

The entire mercantile community is very grateful to Admiral Stirling for his prompt ac, tion in the matter. The Admiral states in- re-

ply that he is only too glad to be of any assist ance in relieving the general suspense con cerning the fate of the beat.

The Russians having their nerves in a raw state would therefore find it a great deal harder to distinguish a trawler from a torpedo-boal than the ordinary public imagine. The extra- ordinary part of the affair seems to be the want of intelligence displayed in imagining that rockels under an enemy's nose and the ap torpedo boals would display lights and fire

SEARCHING FOR PLAGUE SYMPTOMS. Two of the tables, when the pressman went round the buildings the other day, were covered with dead rats of all sizes. They had been operated on with the object of finding out whether there was any infectious disease about the Colony and they lay there waiting the result. Every day in the year, special men are and then a rat is killed in the public street and catching rats in every district of the city. Now even it is sent to the mortuary.
