The expedition consists of seven Euro- peans, two of whom are at work in Boras at present and will be picked up at Batavia,

to the Ara islands in a coasting steamer and start from there for Dulch New Guines. The Dutch Government have, however, been ex. ceedingly kind in the matter and bave volun teered to send the party down in a gunboat while they also insist on providing an escort for their nalety, in Dutch New Guinea. It is, therefore, probable the expedition will now start from Batavia, They will take about 150- carriers with them and form a base camp in. New Guinea where the majority of thess pro- pls will be left.

This has placed the companies mentioned in a position to realise a larger pro- fit than anticipated, and it is now expected that all the spinning companies will be able to distribute a dividend equal to or larger than that for the preceding half; your. Thero is little doub: that the Kanegafuchi will distribute a dividend at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, the Fokoshims. Osaka. Nippon, and Mie ench.at. 12 per cent, the Seites at to par cent, and the Tokyo at 5 or 6 per gent.. while the Nisshin (Japan-Chion), a new company, is expected to be able to distribute 6 per cent. The Fuji la believed to be in a position to pay 11 per cent, the Amagasaki 30 per cent, and the Godo a rate of 20 per cent,, though some doubts have been expressed as to whether the lastmentioned companies will show much success in their working. It is neveribeless certain that at the worst the dividends distributed will be equal to those for the preceding period. The question now occupying the attention of the coltos spinners is the prospects of the working for the next period, and the companies are much concerned in the matter.-Japan Chronicle,

BEAUTIFUL,BIRDS.

The fauna of British Now Gainen has been pretty well investigated. It is, of course no- abis for the wealth and beauty of the avifauna. The most remarkable orders, besides the birds of paradise, which are only found in New Guinea and the neighbouring islands, are the heneysuckers, flycatcher's, parrots, kingfishers, and pigeons, all rich in special forms. Birds et prey are rare; váltures, pheasants, woodpeckers, and friches being absent. The unusually large sumber of beautiful birds, 50 per cent, of the whole, is attribated to the number of patrol lories, cockatoos, pigeons, and kingfishers, and to the absence of thrashes, shrikes, warblers and other dull-coloured groups. Muchlessis known of the resourcesof Datch New Guinea in this re- spect although naturally many species probably abound there common to the whole. Papuas sub-region. There is, however, in the wide and untrodden Dutch territory large range of mountains extending far into the interior and capped with eternal snow which it is hoped will yield rich results,

This administrative force made of the lensed territory, and particularly of Harbin, a kind of Russian settlement. This state of affairs is in the meantime, hardly compatable with in- ternational right, and we have recently seen the territorial privileges which Russia cofoys at Harbin provokes from the Gorman Coosaltherea strong 'protest based upon the extraterritoriality msaared in China to all Europeans.

From the fanocial point of view, Russia's interest equally advise the abandon: ment of all farther attempts to exploit a railway which can only be conducted with a los and the commercial fatura of which has been brought to nothing by the loss of Port Arthur and the handing over to Japan of the line from Port Arthur to Mukden.

On the other hand other farge dealers kept entirely aloof from the market and were not buying except for their urgent wants, Sub- sequently a favourable recovery in exchange discouraged the speculators who have now cossed operations, and the state of our market has now become uncertain and depends entire- ́ly on the Shanghai murker.
