A despatch from Seoul, Corea. says : A serious fight between Chi- nese and Japanese soldiers at Kan- tao, Northern China, threatens to result in trouble between China and Japan. The details and date of the fight are not accurately known, but it is reported that the Chinese were the aggressors. They Bred a fusillade at a police station occupied by Japanese troops. After fighting for several hours, many men on both side's being killed or wounded, the Chinese withdrew. The Japanese were reinf:►rce'd lat- er, and prepared to pursue the Chinese. They apparently gave no- tice of their intention to the Pekin authorities, whereupon China for- bade their entering Chinese terri- tc•ry. Japen protested, and it is reported she declared that unless she was given immediate satisfac- tion Japanese troops would cross the frontier.

Men who have conte out from the works on the Grand Trunk Pacific say that there are many looking for the precious metal, and that a large Plumber of them will stay in the country all winter. Some of these who have visited the camps say that there are sure to be many more and richer finds, and that within a very short time there will be a gold rush into the country which will rival some of those which have now become his- torical. Several parties have left Port Arthur in the past few days for fields of promise, and have out- fitted with the intention of staying all winter. 4c FIVE HURT IN DERAILMENT. .1 Mixed Train Was Ditched Near Allan(lal0.

F'RIVOLOU'S MADRID. Spanish Capital a Spendthrift Town and Devoted to Gossip. The note of Madrid is frivolity. It is a spendthrift town. Nowhere do so many People of modest means keep carriages, or at least ►tiro them. The automobile has suppli- ed a new outlet to an old passion, says the London Times. Nowhere do so many people who cannot afford 6) have a motor driver, or to buy regular supplies of petrol (which, to be sure, is hath clear and bad in Spain), keep an au- tentobile. Therefore they turn out now and again for a short run at high speed to their own glorification and the danger of the public. As for that public, it lives in the streets and in a perpetual state of talk. What London or Paris news conies through to Madrid, except to legrams, is mostly gossip. Int- f:ortant matters appear to interest the Madrileno little. What did in- terest hitn was when a young per- son appeared on horseback in Hyde Park in a Directorie costume. Fea- ther headed and light heeled, the Madrileno is, on the other hand, good natured and easy to live with. Madrid worsen dress well, even very well, and the charm of the Spanish woman is never denied. Modern Madrid is sometimes sup- posed to be modelled on modern Paris, but the writer's view is that ti -ere is nothing Parisian about Madrid, except the skin. Paris works desperately hard, is intensely interested in serious things and producers, thinkers and men of intellectual and scientific Eminence. Madrid certainly does not work hard, does not appear to be much interested in anything but frivolity, and few of her greatest men, even statesmen, are much more than names. + IGNORED THE SPEAKER. Laborite Member Carried From the British Commons. A despatch from Lyndon says : In the House of Commons on 'Thurs- day Albert Victor Grayson, Social- ist and Laborite, from Yorkshire, constantly ignored the Speaker and his calls to order, and continued to call the attention of the House to the fact that there were people starving on the streets. To the members who were insisting that he sit down, he retorted : "It is all very well for you to cry order, you, i ho are well fed." Finally the Speaker called on the Sergeant -at - Arms to remove Grayson. While he was being carried out bodily he shouted, addressing the Laborites: "I call upon the traitors to their class who have refused to stand by their class to stand by tne.
