Canton Yokohamn..........
The Messageries Maritimes steamer Sagha- lien, which left Kobe for Yokohama at 7 a.m. on the 14th December, broke down on the way up to Yokohama. At 6 p.m. the same day she was brought to a standstill by the breaking of Shanghai the connecting red, which in its turn smashed up the cylinder cover, piston, go a-head guide and guide shoes, also severely damaging the bed plate. Fortunately, says the Japan Gazette, the Saghalien is supplied with triple expansion engines and the damage, though considerable, was only to the intermediate engines. The wreckage having been cleared away she was able to start at noon the following day and made her way into port with such little assistance as her sails afforded. Great credit is due to her captain and officers in bringing her in only twenty-two hours behind her expected time and this with a delay of close on eighteen hours.

We (Japan Mail) have much pleasure in being | Stekloong, No. 1. Brown... 4.72 ło able to record the return of His Excellency Baron d'Anethan to Tokyo in completely restored health. When Baron d'Anethan left Japan last spring he was suffering from a malady which would probably have baffled medical diagnosis a few years ago.
After the attack of typhoid | fever by which the Baron was prostrated in the summer of 1896, a portion of the microbes re- tained their vitality and effected a lodgment in one of the ribs. Constant pain and other dis- tressing symptoms ensued, and Drs. Baelz and Scriba, correctly diagnosing the cause of the trouble, performed an operation which, thongh affording temporary relief, did not effect a radical cure, and had to be repeated on a more' extensive scale in Europe. The Paris experts found it necessary to remove the whole of one rib and a small portion of the breast bone, the latter, happily, being only slightly affected, though had the operation been delayed much longer, the sternum would have been involved beyond the possibility of surgical aid. Recovery proved extraordinarily quick owing to the pa- tient's excellent constitution, and the Baron is now a hale and hearty man, to the great delight of his innumerable friends and the no small gain of his country.
