Admiral Közhdiestvensky, with the per- mission of the Ministry of Marino, has writ- ten an article to the Venue Premye on the battle of Tsushima, in which he says that "the whereabouts of Admiral Togo were kept so secret as to be amknown even to the British Admiral, who with his force concen- trated at Wei-hai-wei and was 'expecting an order to annihilate the Russians if the Japanese failed to accomplish Great Britain's object.

CEYLON, OPHICIAL SALARIES,

„RACIAL DISTINCTION.

A BASIS FOR APPORTIONMENT,

Another unpleasant lart has been bright to fight in connection with the tactics adopted in formulat ng the scheme for the increase of salaries. The instructions from Mr. . Lyiteltun

arrived in the doliny bef re the end of Sep. tember. It was clearly his desire that the Un- officials in Council should be admitted into the Committee which was to formulate the new scheme. Til the begining of December nat an Unomist was admitted behind the scenes. The instructions of the Colonial Secretary were withheld from them. Even the connected cop respondence bad to be wrong out from Governi

ment. Till the proposals of Government had taken aliape, the Unofficials were not admitted, and then only at an informal meeting" of the Coueril. it is now said that all this secrecy and exclusion of Unofficials, in whom the Government professes to have confidence, wern adopted in order to expedite matters. The public can well judge whether it was ont pos sible to inform the Unofficials of Mr. Lyttelton's suggest on and then if necessary entrust the scheme to the Lieut-Governor. They also can judge whether even when the scheme was first put forward, the space of three months, could not have been used for publishing the connected correspondence. Peitifagging pri- vacy has characterised every step taken in the matter. And in the end a scheme based on a racial basis has been carried by a fiicial. vote. Even Mr. John Ferguson, who proved to the hilt the utter injustice to which Ceylonese yeh; tlemen are subjected under the present scheme

(MR) BAINBRIDGE'S LECTURE,

"BLACK JEWS."

THR

Never was a lecture delivered under the auspices of the Hongkong Odd Volumes Society more largely attended than it was last evening when Mr. Oliver Bainbridge delivered his address on "Black Jews." Mr. Bainbridge has made a study of this question and was consequently in a position to throw light and information on some new features of the wan

Mr. Brockman commenced his lecture by saying that Shanghai, Hongkong, Osaka and Tenisin were not the very same places they were 50 year ago. They were now the chief port towns of the Oriant and as such had grown to be big cities. However, fifty years ago, Hongkong was a small village wherein a few fishermen. dwelt, now it happened to be one of the largest port towns in the world, third in order of merit, only two other places claiming preced: ence over it. Hongkong is bound to grow in the coming years and to become one of the largest cities of the world, And, so was Shanghai. Fifty years ago, in our father's time, it was a mere village, quite unimportant, the men. tion of whose existence was never made by the outside world. But the new life had touched Shanghai and Hongkong, people from different parts of the world papsed through these cities carried on very grand scales, consequently these and settled there, trade and commerce was
