MUST WATCH THE BEAR.
A HongkonE Opinion on japanese
Questions.

There are, says the Hongkong
Telegraph, but two questions of
very grave importance before the
japanese at the moment-the state
of their finances, on which a heavy
strain is being put by the doub-
ling of the Military und Naval
Forces of the Empire, and by the
calls from Formosa, and the atti.
tude to be adopted by Japan in
her dealings with Russia and in
connection with Korea. In the
ability of the japanese Govern
ment to overcome all financial
difficulties we have great faith, If
only war can be avoided for a
year or two. The War Indemnity
will suffice for all deficiencies un-
til the steady growth of trade, of
commerce, OF manufactures, Of
general agricultural prosperity,
provides sufficient funds without
any increase in the rate of taxa
ton. Japan is growing, and grow
ing fast. Patience and very or
binary measure of foresight is all
that is needed. The outlook in
the other direction is not so clear;
what Russia wants and means to
have is not quite apparent yet.
Her pronouncements have been
rather ambiguous. She processes
to want nothing, but she will take
all she can get; seldom by open
force, but by diplomatic skill COM
bined with an inimitable patience
and perseverance. All Japan has
to do is to study closely the past
history of Russian growth. AS has
been her past, so will her future
be. The countries she covets are
first Russianized, then taken I'M
der protection, and finally an
nexed; but she is never SO preci
pitate as France. For each step
she generally allows abundant
time. Russia is in her foreign
politics the Chief of Opportunists.
Japan must play a waiting game
and watch, watch, watch !

Sewage Experiment at Exeter.

Sewage Experiment at Exeter.
Since last January an interesting
experiment with sewage has been
in progress at Exeter. A method
devised by Mr.. f. j. Cunmin, the
city surveyor, is used, and is
known as the septic tank system.
1t deals with about 1900 gallons
per day as now tried, which would
represent the sewage of 300 to 400
peorle. The tank is 24ft long
by Oft Gin wide, and about Aft
deep, and is arched over and
covered with earth. Its capacity
is about 5000 gallons. During
its passage through this tank,
occupying about 20 hours, the
sewage is cut off from light and
air. but no chemicals or other in
gradients are added to it. The In
let and outlet are so arranged that
the upper portion of the contents
is undisturbed. A sewage scum
forms on top, eventually reaching
Bin in thickness, and by this all
soluble solids are thrown into
solution by meteorological action,
the outflow from the tank being
comparatively clear and odorless,
and corsder,d fit for discharge
into tidal water, or for Fl .ration,
or for utiIisation on land.

VISIT HOME.

While the Attorney General
was absent on the island of Ha-
wall last week a contemporary,
with evidently intended signifc.
ance, suggested that the chief law
officer might visit the office of the
Hilo Tribune. But Minister
Smith did not go to Hilo
at all on that occasion. 1t
might not hurt the Government a
bit for its members to pay occa.
sional visits to all the districts of
the group, and especially to that
one containing the second largest
town in the islands. They might
thus learn as much that would be
for the benefit of the country for
them to know as can be gained by
trips to New Zealand, Japan and
China, or even the United States.
There is no objection to having
Ministers take journeys abroad,
but they ought not to neglect Wis
iting the different sections of the
country they govern.
