Dressed in honour of herval in port to "day, the magnificent Hamburg-America liner as Cheeland altamed into the harbour shortly before noon exactly in accordance with sche- dela time. Mosted to the French Mail buny in the middle of the stream the immense black hull of the leviathan with two short stumpy yellow "funnels prestais a very stately and..imposing appearance. As soon as she was muds fast; quile a fleet of launches that bad been held in randiness for the (qucists' arrival wont alongside the big ship and without bustle and confuaibo the disembarkation commenced.

He is assisted on the present tour by several experienced Directors, Mrs. Harris also has the aistance of another lady, who bas had much experience in travel, and is very competent, and ether of them may be consulted by lady passengers during the cruins regarding the making of arrangements for short trips, etc. ・・

In typ, the s.. Cleveland is similar to the well-known liners Kaiserin Auguste Victoria and thi Amerika, and although not quite so largest offers the same comfort and luxury for which the latter two steamers have become known. The most careful considerations bare been given to the passenger accommodations, and the spacious arrangements made as to cabins, public rooms and promenade decks are partícularly noticeable,

It will therefore be seen from the above des cription that the ss.

now no foreign Power could protest against "the annexation, as it would be carried out only

in order to protect the interests of Japan. As a matter of fact, a third country has no right to interfere with the annexation of one country by another. There are instances, however, in which a third Power has interfered, but only when it was regarded as disturbing the balance of power or damaging important interests of ather countries. The home administration and foreign affair of Korea are now entirely in the bonds of Japan. The annexation of the peninsula at the present time would mean an improvement in Korean domestic ad- ministration and revivification of the Koreans, but it would no way affect the inter-

ests of other Powers, In. logic there may be room for fear that a third Powar may interfere with the anexation, but it should be borno in mind that justification or otherwise of the policy adopted by Japan cannot be decided by the approval or disapproval of another Power, according to the law of palioos. Should annexation be affected however, it is of primary importance for Japan to easura
