tary Taft's visit to Hongkong last węck was a fortuitous circumstance, and advantage was taken of his presence in the Colony for the discussion of the boycott at Government House last week. With what result readers of the Telegraph now know from the full report appearing in these columns on Tues. day. It is obvious from the position taken up by Mr. Tait as the delegate of the | U. S. President that the suggestions pro- pounded by the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai on the evening of the Conference will be very carefully weighed, and that a most sympathetic car will be granted to the representations of the Hongkong Chinese, whose number at Government House the other day might, in our opinion, have been usefully and representatively augmented by the inclusion of such names as give greater weight and prominence to the com- mercial interests of the Hongkong Chinese. Of the four suggestions put forward by the senior unofficial Chinese member of Council,

utput of ACCORDING to the Chugai, the total output of gold throughout Korea amounts to about 1,000 kamme per year, valued at some 4,500,000 ym. It is stated that the value of the gold ore and dust exported in 1993 was 3,713,000 yen, 3,700,000 yen of this sum representing exports to Japan alone. Thus practically the whale of the gold exports are taken by that country. THE Doukhabours have again broken fouse.
