A free fight took place at Shanghai yesterday between the police of the Mixed Court and the native runners. The disturbance originated from an alleged grievance due to the de- tention as prisoners of a number of female witnesses who are required in connection with cases that have been remanded by the Magistrates.

Immediately upon their arrival the interested holiday-makers joined the party on board the flagship to follow the rest of the

The question is one of the future, but the answer can be left to our readers. It Is the diinction and the misfortune of Royalty to always in evidence, always in the blaze of public opinion. This Journey his nothing but pleasure and friendship as its motive. Still the Cabinet, the old Cabinet, says that the Prince should enjoy himself in Hongkong. No better recognition of the status which Hongkong holds in the eyes of the Empire and of the King could be found. It is needless to say that the Colony will. honour a guest who is actually more than a representative of His Majesty, and by our Chinese fellow-citizens, we can voice the conviction, that the heartiest and most loyal support will be accorded to any scheme of reception which is certain to be framed by a representative committee which will be appointed in due course. Fortunately, we have as Governor one who enjoys the confidence of all parties, and more fortunate ly still our governors do not. shift and, change with passing political events. There fore we may assume that the visit of His Royal Highness to Hongkong, as briefly announced by His Excellency yesterday, will be recognised in a manner which will even outdo the welcome which we gave to His Royal Highness's father not so many years ago. Hongkong will honour itself in Honours the Prince, and Hongkong will get the credit when China in the person of The Viceroy at Canton comes closer to that bond of unity which we all desire.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
As might have been expected, some de Aalto pronouncement was certain to be made by President Roosevelt, at the open ing of the United States Congress the other day, on the subject of the exclusion of Chin ese from America in reference to the boy cott. It is pleasing to note from Reuter's cable that, in his message to Congresi, the
U.8 President realised that the main cause of the boycott in Chins had been the re- sextant of the Chluase students and mor chants at the harshness of the American law towards the educated Chinamen." And It je still more satisfactory to learn from the American Freildent that the bettier clashes of China should be encouraged to go to America and be treated on exactly the same footing as other foreigners of a similar class, only Chinese labourers being excluded ad. mission Into the States. At the very first meeting of the Washington Cabinet held on
October 3, the most interesting subjects die cussed ware, fist the Chinese boycott against Americas, goods and, second, the consideration of complaint made by the Chinese Government against the methods of execution of the existing Chinese exclusion laws. The important fact developed was
