A. far back as 1882 China decided to send a few of her young men America to secure the advantages of those schools.

A TRIBUTE FROM HONGKONG. Rev. Mr. Penice spoke ns follows:-We are met on this spot to-day to lay the corner stone of the Christian Coliege in China. This corner stone and all that is hereafter to be builded thereon will be dedicated to the glory of God and the good of men. This corner stone we lay in the name of the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Chost. Many, perhaps most of us, are come bere as Christians: not of one name or one sign. The Christian College in China owes its existence to the fact that Chris tians in the United States of America have met on the ground of a common brotherland; moved by the spirit of liberality and by one desire to bestow on China the best that the Modern education cannot be introduced West has to give in the sphere of education on to China without an effort.

TRADE WITH JAPAN.

REPORT FROM MR SUTION.

WHERE NEW SOUTH WALES FAILS, Under date Kobe, Mr. Suttor, Commercial Agent for New South Wales in the East, re- ports on a number of matters of interest to the Stale.

The importations of raw cotton into Japan ase principally from India and America, and are rapidly increasing. Mr. Sultor states that people interested in the cotton industry have fre- quently expressed to him the opinion that many parts of Australia are admirably adapted for cotton-growing, and in view of the rapidly in- creasing importations by Japan the matter is specially worthy of careful investigation.

L

Mr. Buttor is of opinion that if a large com. pany could be formed in New South Wales to establish proper depots at Singapore, Manila, Hongkong, Shanghai, Tientsin, and Japan, our resources would be faxed to keep pace with the growing requirements, and thus lay a cer tain foundations for trade in the Orient.

TIMBER AND IRON ORES.

The shipment of piles cabled for have arrived in good condition. Other samples are also lo hand, but it has been omitted to stale whether the prices quoted are c.i.f. Kobe, or f.o.b. Syd ney. Mr. Sutter states that it is useless send. ing samples to Japan unless cif quotations are given. This system is firmly rooted in the Orient generally, and business cannot possibly be done on other lines.

Last year Mr. Suttor wrote with reference to sample shipments of New South Wales ores for the Government from works. Up to date BO ores have arrived, though they have bean inquired for in Japan. The possibilities of iron ores of the nature previously reported upon are described as enormous, for Japan is practically dependent outside of the
