VOLUNTEERS AT CHURCH,
14th inst.
Yesterday morning the members of the Hong: kong Volunteer Corps held their fras Church Parade of the year. Falling in at the temporary headquarters opposite the Hongkong Club, at 10.30 am, under the command of Major A. Chapman, they marched, beaded by the band of the Royal West Kent Regiment, to St. John's Cathedral, where Matina was conducted by the Rev. F. T. Johnson. The sarmon was preached by the Venerable Archdeacon Banister, who took for his text the 19th verse of the second chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Ephesians, if Now, therefore, ye are no more stranger and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God." The preacher pointed out the duties, respassibili fles, authority and privileges of the citizen soldier, and then dwelt on the necessity for the maintenance of universal brotherhood. At the conclusion of the service, the entire congrega tion sang the first stanza of the National Anthem, after which the volunteers fell in again and matched back to head quarters, where they were dismissed at 12.40 p.m. The total strength turning out, including officers and men, was one hundred.

This afternoon when the ss, Kim Chan arrived from Canton, Inspector Hanson went on board and arrested a German Polo named Wanilad Siwa, under the authority of a warrant issued by the German Consul at Canton. He subsequently placed him before Mr. Hazeland to show cause why he should not be detained in Victoria Gaol, there to await the order of His Excellency the Governor.
It was charged against the defendant that in June last, while employed as a ganger on the Yunan Railway be shot and murdered a Chinaman, one of his gang. He told the police that he and the Chinaman had been attacked and rubbed by bandits, and he had tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the arm. He was taken to Cantos, and handed over to the German Consul, and was sent here In order that he might be kept in custody until he could be transmitted to Germany for trial, He was handed over to P.s.

ICE COMPANY FOR CANTON,
THE NEW VENTURE.
14th inst.
It will be remembered that some two years ago we gave the first news concerning the pro- motion of the Canton-Hongkong Ice and Cold Storage Co., Ltd., formed for the purpose of establishing two factories for the manufacture of ice-one in Hongkong and one in Canton The officers and directors of the company were duly elected at a meeting held in the American Consulate General in Canton in September, 1903, and were as follows The Hon. Rus Bell Colegrove (since deceased), president; Chan. A Fook, (vice-president); Lai Tai Yu MR. LAFT AND HIS MISSION TO and Teng Yut Kni (treasurers); Chan A Tak, (secretary); and Messrs. Russell Colegrove, THE PHILIPPINES.
Chan A Fook, Geo. A Watkins, Taeng Yut Kai, Lai Tai Yu, Chau Tung Sang, Chau Tit Sai and Kwong Kut Won (directors). The Guaranty Trust Co., of New York, were up pointed bankers of the company, whose registered office was at Watkins Building Queen's Road. The initial capital of the company was half a million dollars, but pre- vious to flotation this was increased by two hundred thousand dollars, divided into 70,000 shares of Sto each. Out of these 20,000 were to be allotted gratis to the promoters as their remuneration for floating the company, and getting in business, while of the remaining 30,000 shares one half was, according to the focal vernacular press, all taken up and the other half was offered to the public.
During his brief stay in San Francisco route to the Far East, Mr. William Taft gave an Interview to a representative of the San Fran Cisco Chronicls in which he briefly outlined some of the questions which will claim his at tention during his stay in the islands.

We have the money appropriated to pay for them all, but do not wish to buy a gold brick.

The memorialists explain- cd that from old times mining in Japan was regarded as the most hazardous of business enterprises. Miners were generally looked down upon as yamarkt (spaculaton) Ban kers and other capitalists kept away from this class of business men, with the result that most of the mines in the Empire continued in a primitive state, the mine owners became involved in debt, having relied loan at high interest, Selbutido research in modern times had proved that mining was among the soundest and safest of Investments, when digging and smelting ware proper ly managed, and there was little doubt that the mining industry of Japan would greatly de velop if assisted by cheap capital.

The Canton correspondent of the N. Q. D. News contributes the following interesting article to our Shanghai contemporary.—

Another. Frenchman, more lustrious still, sald four hostile newspapers were, more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.

We really gain nothing from such interests as occupy the newspapers. Amidst suct conflicting judgments an to the value of the Press, we are thrown back on our own personal knowledge, and must decide for ourselves on such data as have come under nur own observation. The native Press of China, at least of the South of Chios, has grown up within the last twenty years, We remember when editors were harassed and their officer confiscated, if they published anything less harmless, and more interesting than the Pak- ing Gassifs. It may be confessed that the Hongkong native Press, whose roots struck deep in the island, but whose branches spread out over the Kwantung province, had much to do with the present vigour of the native news. papers here. When complaints were made to the Hongkong officials by the Canton man- darins, that government matters, bilberto so sacred, were handled with a rough irreverence, they got little comfort and less assistance. Freedom of the Press was the rule in the colosies of Great Britain; Hongkong was & colony; therefore the editors could not be coerced. The consequence was that the man darins, seeing that they were helpless, sub- mittea to the inevitable. After a time, when nothing very serious happened, either to their revenues or to their bareme, and in those days they did not seriously care for very much beyond those two absorbing interests, they ceased to be so obviously aoxious, and so a native Press developed not only in Hongkong but in the city of Canton, which to day is no small industry, and no unimportant factor in the life of the great city. The native Press attempts to reach the ideal of what a newspaper should be, which is, we take it, to collect and then distribute reliable and valu able information which its readers value; and further to guide and faster public opinion, even though it may not always be able de novo to When this Coreau was caught and ordered create it.
