Tan following sonsational paragrapli ép-
pears in the San Francisco Bulletin of the 29th September last
While the gargo of the Zereya was in course of discharge at Victoria, B., two chests were broken and rejected by thy consignons. After the cargo was handed on the care, some one locked into one of the chests and fenud its supposed contents of tea to be valuable envios and silk guoda, on which is a heavy duty. The whole carge Was neized. Is is valued at $250,000, and belongs to

Commenting on the above, the Japan Curite of
of the 22nd instant says:-
Tuais evidently untena, for on examin- ing the minifont of the vessel we find that 82 eases and 4 casks,
casks, shipped by a well-known firm in Kobe, were declared to contain curios, and the remainder of the cargo con sisted of largo parouls of tes shipped by regalar Yokohama unsignors, Soveral paf pable stars in the statement also appear. It is said that the vessel was discharged at Victoria, B.C., whereas she unloaded Bt Port
Moody.
It also mentions that two ehoals were broken and rejected by the Comignzes. This is certainly an error, na the consignees reside in Canada. The next suspicious statement is that after the cargo was loaded on the cars, some one looked into one of the chesta. To do this he must have had the assistance of
grow-bar or
some such instrument, of which ao mention is made; and the anuslading statement that the cargo belong to Mesara Frazer & Co. of New York is known to be falso, as they' had no interest whatavor in it, having acted simply as agents of the Canadian-Pacific railway, to whom the ship was consigned.
