T. W. BURGESS started on the 36th July in a second attempt to swira across the Channel, entering the water at the coast guard station at Lydden, four miles northwest of this port. Burgess, in 1901, got within four miles of the French coast in his first attempt to swim the channel. He failed again this time. He was taken from the water when within four and a half miles from the French coast suffering from a bad leg.Burgess made a great strug mine to boycott Chinese importations pend-gle to get on the proper side of the Varne, a shoal, and in his exertion he sprained a tendon ing the resistence of the boycott against

if it should be determined to retaliate. The principal imports from China during the past fiscal year were hides and skins, $2,524,400; silk, raw, $8,849,068; silk, manufactured, $266,464; len $5,862,831 other merchandise, $10,378.052. In the same period the United States are repre sented to have bought from japan $66,000,000 worth of raw and manufactured silk and [32 about $7,000,000 worth of tea. Tea can also be obtained from Ceylon, Java, Borneo and other places, so that, the argument pro- ceeds, China has no comer on the supply, Some doubt, however, is expressed in official circles whether it will be possible to obtain

coolics of the Afforestation Department at Mongkok to cut down certain trees for the purpose of thinning the forests, and giving the other trees a chance to grow. The coolics, heing trained to the work, carried out their in- structions, and seeing them at their work of tree-felling three independent unemplayed coolies went to work in a different part and "thinned out" to such purpose that many valu able trees were demolished and removed. The consequence was that when Mr. Dunn, the Superintendent of the Afforestation and Batahi cal Department, went over last week he found the place had been "thinned" indeed, and much valuable timber lost. The matter was placed in the hands of the police, and as a re- sult three coolies were arrested, one of whom appeared to be the overseer of this small gang. They had no defence whatever when placed before Mr. F. A. Hazeland, and the first man was sent to two months' hard labour and the other two to six weeks' hard labour.

Fox some time past the shroff of the Anglo- American adres has been constantly informed, when presenting bills to customers, this the bills had been paid, and receipted with an un- known name.

ed that on being caught the man dragged the shroff, a man bo years of age, up to the top of the market steps in fublilee Street, and pushed him down to the bottom. The shroff was at once picked up and removed to the Government Civil Hospital, but as he was not very seriously injured though bruised and shaken was only detained for the night and discharged this morning.

We have since learnt that the Authorities at Peking have decreed against the boycott, and some arrangement satisfactory to both countries should, without doubt, be capable of attain ment as a result of the negotiations that will be carried on between the respective repre- sentatives of the Powers concerned. It has been pointed out that China's position ap pears to be that the exclusion of Chinese citizens from a friendly country is in itself a disgrace, and white she cannot ignore the laws of a foreign Power providing for such exclusion, she can refuse to sanction it or become part of it by concluding a treaty in volving such restrictions.

Chinese labourers only. Now, however, it is understood the Chinese officials are dis posed to regard the signing of such a treaty beneath the dignity of their Government. The reason for the assumption at Peking of this new attitude is not quite clear to the officials at Washington, though in some cir- cles it is attributed to the influence of foreign Powers. This is hardly so, as recent events have furnislied ample testimony that it is not the officialdom that is aroused, but the peo- ple of China who are seized with the convic- tion that the treatment hitherto meted out to their immigrants into the States is deroga- tory to their character and status. .'

THE FALL IN EXCHANGE.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ON THE CAUSE.

The cause of the rise in exchange during the last two years, is, says the Shanghai Times of 31st ult, that while the war has been in pra gress, a considerable" amount of Russian rouble notes and also of Japanese war notes have found their way into this country and conse. quently have formed an invisible export, which baks have had to buy silver to mel. Look- ing beyond our own sphere, the numerous South African gold mines have again com- menced working operations Consequently the immense production of gold has tended to cause a depreciation in the price of that metal and a consequent appreciation in the price of silver. And again, India for the last few years bas had prosperous harvests, and has been a good and steady buyer of silver. That has laken the general trend of exchange up.

The rise in exchange during the last two- weeks has bean more especially caused by "bears" covering their short sales for the August settlement; and also to a small extent by speculation on the result of the Peace negotiations.

The general idea, now that Peace is on assured fact, is that exchange will find a lower level. The cause of the drop in yesterday's ex- change is that bar silver was reported 1-16 down for ready delivery and 1-8 down for forward delivery; and, with the news of Peace on top of this, importers commenced covering with the result, that, before the day was out, half is million sterling was booked at rates ranging between 2 84 down to 2.

Although the general impression points toʻ lower rates now that peace is declared, all wa THE "Chinese exclusion act," which worries must not lose sight of the fact that we are us just now, is the act of the Chinese in exclud-drawing close on to our usual period of "fight money which occurs at "China New Year" ing a large amount of their cash from American time, India will also again have to buy large- pockets-New York. Mail.

ly for her export season, which will soon be on her. Then, there is the question of the pro- bable development of Manchuria, which will also require a vast amount of silver for the pay ment of necessary labour, etc. These three factors ought to bring about a bigher level of exchange during the next three months.
