HIROSHIMA, JAPAN. Feb. 9.--An ofiicia |
dispatch received here from the japanese
naval commander at Wei-IIai-Wei, Ad-
mipal Ito, dated February 9Th, announces
that during the night of February 4th the
first japanese torpedo tlotilla guarded the
west entrance of the harbor Of Wei-Hai-
Wei, while the second and third torpedo
hotillas, after the moon had set, entered
the eastern channel of the harbor, passing
through spaces which had been pre-.
viouslv cleared between the floating OBJ
structions with which the Chinese had de-
Tended that entrance.
The torpedo boats then made dash at
the Chinese warships md succeeded in
tnrpedoing and destroying the warship
Ting-Yuen, and 1t is supposed damaging
the bottom of the Ching Huen.
The fire OF the Chinese warships, while
not equal to repelling the attack, disabled
the engines Of torpedo boat No. s, BELONG
ing to the Japanese ileet, and all on board
of her were killed. Others of the Japanese
torpedo boats while returning from the
attack grounded on some OF the floating
distractions and pnrtly sank under the
enemv's fire. A lieutenant and two others
Of the Japanese force were frozen to death.
On the night of February 9th the first
Japanese torpedo ilotilla renewed the at
tack on the Chinese fleet, passed SUCCESS
fully through channel cleared from OBJ
strrctions, and torpedoed and sank the
Chinese cruiser Chi-fuen. The Chinese
battleship Chen Yuen, the Wei-Muen and
one Chinese gupboat were also attack ed
with torpedoes and were probably sunk.
This time there was no loss of torpedo
boats or men upon the part Of the japanese
and the damaged Japanese torpedo boats
were eventually towed to Port Arthur Tor
repairs.
In conclusion the Japanese admiral re-
ports that the japanese fleet is constantly
on the alert outside the harbor OF Wei
Hal Wei, and that on the day following,
February nh, the fleet would lombard
conformity with the land fort now in the
hands oil the japanese.

prohibited Amusements" was the
subject Of the Rev. T. E. Terry's sermon in
St. Paul's NJ. II. Church Sunday night.
His texts were, / Corinthians, vi, IL,
and l Thcssalonians, vi, 81. He said in
part;
I'm bringing TO you this subject !
would not, for one moment, have you
think that | regard it as sufficient to
condemn any amusement merely be-
cause the Methodist Episcopal Caurch
does not approve of it, No amusement
is justifiable b. Christians that in its
tendency and influence creates distaste
for religion or that promotes the spirit
of RIGHTEOUSNESS, dissipation or any
form OF vice.
Chief among the prohibited amuse-
ments / shall name are games OF chanc5,
commonly called gambling. We know
there is harm in it for harm comes out
of it. Dancing is another. II is i'm
prudent; it breaks down the carrier that
is the safeguard of good society; it is the
common amusement of degraded hui
manity, and is everywhere associated
with the lowest forms of vice; itleads to
dissipation, ani, like novel reading,
units the mAid for the higher and
nobler dutics of life.
The thsatre is another evil. The love
of the dramatic is natural to us. Nature
itself Is dramatic, and what is natural to
us appreciate.
We do not condemn the theatre be.
Cause it is the theatre, but because OF
the character of the entertainment il
furnishes, Stripped of its immortality
the theatre would be as commendable
as the seaside or mountain resort, and
would serve much the same purpose
The theatre as it might be would be Q
good thing. AS it is now no Christian
man can patronize it without harm tc
his own life. 1t is claimed for the
theatre that it is source of teaching, {
combination Of art and literature. Who
will dare soy that the art or literature il
Christian or in any true sense moral
Generally the tendency is to disparag,

some Interesting Points in a Paper Read
BEFORE tho Victoria Institute IN London.

Some Interesting foiHth IN f"po' 500"
Before tho Victoria Institute ia London.
At recent meeting of the Victoria IN
stitute, in London, paper. on the AUS
tralian Flora by DR.. WOuiis, whose
botanical researches in New South Wales
have extended over half century, was
read by Surgeon General Gordon, Y. u. III
it DIR. NNoolls reviewed the history Of
botanical researches in that Colony since
the days of Banks, Soiander. biinders.
Bauer, Galley and Cunningham, and lastly
the splendid work done by Won Mueller,
whose list of the Australian Flora CT.
tended to 0, 600 species. He then described
the classification of these. and in so DONG
referred the Question OF species as follows:
The distinction between species and
varieties is a matter of greater difficulty
for the botanist of the future. In days
past, perhaps, botanists were too fond OF
increasing the number of species, consider
ing that every character in species was
fixed, and that every deviation from some
original type was to be regarded as distinct
Experience has proved that certain species
are subject to vast amount OF variation.
1t would appear that the alterations IN
species during many generations are not
such AS some enthusiastic followers OF
Darwin have supposed, for from fossil
cereals and other plants discovered in tho
Swiss Lake dwellings, there is evidence to
prove that many of the species are the
same in character as those which exist in
Europe now" The paper was one full OF
interest, not only by reason of its being an
historical sketch of the work done by the
pioneers of botanical science in Australia,
but also because their researches have
thrown light on the past history of Aus,
tralia. Numerous plants in the north OF
Australia were found to have been similar
to those common to India and the Malay
Archipelago, whilst many in the south Of
the Australian continent. New Zealand
and Tasmania, were found to be similar to
those found in South America. Letters OF
regret were read from Sir Charles Nichol.
