"and furalth matter for reflection at all points. Perhaps the sectiori, which will most keenly appeal to the non-Japanáso reader is that devoted to foreign trade. An elaborate series of statistics is followed by an epitome which traces the rise and advance of Japan's relations with other countries from 1637, till the present time. The story is told in the most prosaic language, fact piled on fact without * - single meditative break, but the very absence of thetorical fireworks; the absolute plainness of speech and devotion to exactitude are in themselves calcalated to enhance the value of the historical docu- ment and arrest the attention of the reader. Three hundred years ago there was no foreign trade beyond that carried on by the gers by ses and the restrictions imposed by the shogun. The overseas trade really dates from 1858 when commercial treatles were concluded with Great Britain, the Voited States of Americs, and thres other Powerd; and the rates of import and export duiles were fixed by agreement with them,' while at the same time afew important porta were opened to foreign commerce. Rapid development followed, and in 1866 the Conventional tariffs with Great Britain and the United States were rivived. The writer.

· remarks :. “From 1869 to 1881 was the period during which, with the single excep tion of 1816, the imports exceeded the ex- ports, while during the following twelve years from 1881 to 1893 there was, with the axception of 1890, an annual excess of ex- porta over imports. In the course of these years absolute order was restored in the country, a constitutional government was es- tablished on a firm basis, and both the Gov. ernment and people concentrated all their efforts upon productive industry; all which produced their duc effect upon our foreign trade, and, moreover, the steady deprecia- tion of silver in those years were indirectly of great advantage to the expansion of our ex port trade." The war in 1894 had no per ceptible affect on the commercial prosperity of the country, whose merchants were seiz ing every opportunity to expand the ramifi cations of their foreign connections, and development has been the rule all along the

·line until, at the present time, the importance of Japan as a factor in the world's markets is both appreciated and feired. Turning to the sub-section of the article in question dealing with trade relations with other countries, we learn that according to the trade returns for has telegraphed to Peking request-vice Treasurer Wu appointed Viceroy pro den, 1956, the country which does the largesting the appointment of an official, amount of trade with Japan is the United States whose exports and imports slood at .temporarily, to administer the Gov. despatch from the Ministry of Education a about yen 196,000,000 (£20,081,967), fol erument ponding, the arrival of sub- lowed by China with yen 175,000,000 stantive Viceroy designate Shum.

The entire report is from beginning to end one of advancement and success in fighting the commercial battle with foreign competi tors. From the Japanese standpoint. the record is not merely satisfactory but inspir ing. As the result probably of the impetus given to trade after the war there was an evident inclination on the part of Japanese merchants and financien to "plungo," which brought about the inevitable financial crisis in which twelve banks had to close their doors....But the super-optimism which pre- valled in the early part of this year has been cooled and the merantile thermometer steadied, so that the outlook at the present day is as hopeful as could be desired.

The following circular accompanies the above letter, and will, we feel sure, obtain a large response on the part of those who appreciated the character and work of the late prelate

Hongkong, June, 1907, ine months have now passed away since the disasie us typhoon of September 18 h, 1906, du ing which it pleased God to call to fimself uur beloved Bishop, the Right Rev. Josh Charles Hoste, D.D., one of the noblest souls and brightest personalities whom it has been our privilege to know.

For some time past it has been felt të be desirable that some Memorial of the late Bishop should be erected in the Colony of Hongkong and wonder has beco expressed that so long a time should have been allowed to elipie before any steps were taken in the matter; we desire, however, to sinte that good reasons for the delay existed, one of the chief reasons being the fict that those nearest and dearest to the Bishop were above all things anxious that no sympathy with them should be allowed to interfere in any way with the outflow of charity to those of the Chinese Community who'bad suffered so neverely in that same typhoon.

At meeting of the Hongkong Colonial Church Council held in March a Committee was appointed to consider the question of a Memorial, and at a more recent meeting of the Colonial Church Council, when the report of the Committee had been received, it was der finitely resolved that. a Memorial should be orected and that it should take the form, with the approval and action of the Cathedral Church Body, of a Memorial Window in the Cathedral Church of S. John the Evangelist, Hongkong. We are glad to be able to say that the Cathedral Church Body have cordially approve of the idea and have indicated the large window of the South Transept as the most suitable window for the Memorial It is estimated that the cost of this window will be at least $5,000 and to procure this amount it has been decided to initiate, a

fund to be called, the Bishop floare Memorial Fund; Mr. J. C. Peler, of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, has been sp. painted Hon. Treasurer; the Hon. Dr. J. M. Attiason, the Rev. G. A. Bunbury, and the Rev. F. T. Johnson have been appointed Hon. Secretaries, and those named, with the Vener ablo Archdeacon Banister as Chairman, and Mr. H. W. Slade, have been appointed an Ex- ecutive Committee.

We venture to appeal to all those who knew and loved our late Bishop to join in erecting Memorial which shall be worthy of the man and which shall perpetuate in this place the eight years' episcopate of one whose life, lived

the sight of all men, was eyei a trumpet-call to others to pat. away all that was evil and to. follow all that was pure and just and goed. The service of God was the one thing for which Bishop Hoare lived and to lead others to know and serve his own Master was the great object.of his life. A true Christian gentleman, a devoted Pastor,

sincere friend,

a wise counsellor, such a man deserves to ba

remembered, and we trust that as in years to come men look upon this Memorial, it may be truly said of him whom it commemorates "He being dead yet speaketh," We are &G,

As soon as the officere were aware of the fight, they endeavoured to prevent the Chinese from entering the afterholds and from joining their comrades on the forward decks. The Russians on the forecastle head were waving their hands to show they were not fighting, and the Chinese contractors, and fɛromen were amongst their countrymen trying in valu to control them. The Captain foided them in their afforts to pacify them, while the officers off watch stayed on the bridge deck waiting for further developments. · Daring a luil is the . fighung, the Chief Engineer succ.eded in bringing the wife and daughter (about 75 years, of age) of one of the Russians (the only, woman- folk on the ship) to the wheelhouse for safety.
