The Japanese Premier on the Situation.

Tokio, 25th February. Count Kaistra, sperking at a conference of the Governors of provinces, said that the first year of the w was not entred upon without certai misgivings, inasmuch as Japan was re lu tantly compelled to take op arms for her self-existence, and for the sake of the general peice of the Far East. Meanwhile, Japan's military and financial resources had proved unexpectedly greater than was imagined.

The second year of the war would be con- ducted without mi-givings, in view of the fact that the fall of Port Arthur had completely ovenhinwa. Russia's foothold. It was com pletly impossible now to upset the balance of the war, as was recrignised not only by Japan, balby Russia, and moreover by the world, as was evidenced by the constant appreciation of Japanese bond abroad.

Nevertheless, even fium' Russia's standpoint, it was irrelevant to sue for pence soon. Japan's resolution to prosecule the campaign with the utmost confidence and hone was unshaken. The year of trial had elapsed; now it was for Japan to testify to the increasing staying power of the nation with renewed vigour and untiring energy.

Peace," brought back recollections of the clever burlesque application of the same on the occa sion of the now past, but famous, Interport Cricket Carnival. Mr. Frank Cochrane made a bluff and Fearty Sir Joseph Verity, and Mr. Jamie Dallas, who had only a small part as Granfer Mummery, nevertheless managed to extract à good deal of fun from it. Mons. Andre Kaya has a fine rith basitore voice and looked and acted well the part of Geoffrey Challoner. He has many opportunities of displaying his vocal abilities, and of these he took every ad. vantage. "Sailor's Life" and "My Own Little Girlie,” he rendered in dishing style, and was greeted with hearty applause. Of the ladies. Mrs. Henry Dallas bas u very small part indeed but as Mr. Quinton Raikes gave on artistic portrayal of an aristocratic butterfly. The part of Wan-A Country Girl-was entrusted to Miss #achael Kemp, an artiste, we believe, new to Hongkong. Miss Kemp is possessed of a sweetly pretty so rano vnce and charming manner, whilst her Devonshire accent enabled her to invest the sole with both higi, and low comedy. Miss Queenie Strachan played Marjørte jeg, the village girl, who subsequently becomes a great ( entrical star. She also has a pretty voice and pleasing -stage carriage. Her entrance song "Hark to the sound of the Coo" she gave most effectively. Mdlle Bel Luscombe inade up well as the Princess of Bhong, whilst Miss Dolly Varden was piq want and attractive as Sophir, the sweetheart of the eccentric Barry. In conclusion, we may say that the chorus is an exceptionally power al one, whilst many graceful dances were introduced with capital effect.

"A Country Girl" will hold the boards to night and also to-morrow night. On Monday "The Orchid" will be put on, and will be fol. lowed by "The Duchess of Danizie " and other new and popular comic operas,

Reginald Richard, will, it is fairly safe to assume, create sensation in the breasts of many employers in the Far East. According to the Shanghai Times, the verdict for the defendant was perfectly unexpected, for although we felt confident that the judge's decision should be in his favour, yet the East had grown so accustomed to these drastic one- sided agreements, and fast decisions had been as continually in favour of the employer of labour, that it seemed too much to expect a reversal of past precedems. Yet Sir Hitam, in a masterly judgment, decided the employee was in the right, and that his employers in desiring to enforce a signed agreement that practically barred their servant from entering into the same kind of business in
