with the Viceroy's orders, recently con- fisentod the monk's property.
The place was famous for its idols (upwards of 100 in number) and the problem arose as to how these wore to be disposed of. At first it was considered that the provincial purse might bo benefited by selling them, and as only foreigners would
buy they would be thus got rid of. This was, however, likely to lead to adverse criticism and it was deered best to have the idols destroyed. In accordance with this decision the idols were all burned by Tuotai Wen Tsung Yao, the Viceroy's Foreign Secretary', on 1 Saturday."
•
Thotai Wen has also Yeen appointed to pull the monastery prenses down and sell the land as soon as possible. The proceeds of the sale are to be exponded in erecting a college for the benefit of the whole pro- vince. The Foreign Secretary is progressive man with advanced ideas and no butter official could have been chosen for the work.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Meeting of Envoys,
The Envoys have met and the credentials have been found satisfactory; English and French will be jointly used at the confer onces and the minutes recorded in both languages.
Import and Export trade are an indica- tion of brilliant prospects for the coming year, assuming that no untoward con- ditions intervene to bring distress on the Empire. The negotiation of the Commercial Treaties pursues its leisurely course. In 1902 was concluded the British Treaty, and those with Jupan and the United States of America in 1903; to these has now to be added that with Portugal, signed in 1901, but not yet ratified. Two new Treaty ports:

The depression which prevailed over the greater - of the year, especially during the first nine months, was in large measure due to the stringency of the money market, which became more pronounced as the war This lightness of money restricted the oxport of Chinese produce, creating, as Mr Morse puts it, an 'adverse balance of trade." Another important factor in the continuance of the depression was fluctuations in ex- change the old big-bear.

APPLICATION FOR A DEBTOR'S RELEASE Bo Yut Wing, ex parte Ma Fai Nan. Ble C. E. H. Beavia, on behalf of the debtor, applied for his release from gaol. He said that the debtor canio bofore the Court on Thursday last for public examination and at the application of the Official Receiver was arrested under section 24 of the Bank- ruptcy Ordinance. The Official Receiver had possession of the debtor's estate and notice of the application had been given to the plaintiffs through him.
Mr Stevenson-I appear for about 22 creditors, Your Lordship, and only received a lotter at about 11 o'clock this morning stating this application was being made.

Po the Ching Hop Firn. Consolidated. Mr P. W. Goldring made an application in this matter under section 10, sub-section 4, of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, for the approval of a scheme of composition, The creditors, he said, had agreed to accept 301 por cent. on account of their respoctivo debts. The money was to be paid in three oqual instalments and payment was guar- anteed by the master of the Wong Tai shop.
The Chief Justice-Were all the creditors present?
Mr Goldring-The requisite majority

On Mr Goldring pointing out that presenting some of the creditors wore in solicitors (Messrs Bowley and Beavis) ro-
Court and did not oppose the application His Lordship approved of the arrangement.
AN INTERESTING ARGUMENT.
Re Tan Joo Chiu, ex parte the debtor.
His Lordship-No, had the debtor been an original trader it might have been so. Be was purely a commission agent and the money that he received was not his at all.
Mr Beavis I do not know that he acted. solely as a commission agent."
His Lordship-I think so, I cannot re- Icase-lim on the present statement.
Mr Boavis-I do not ask for his release unconditionally. He will have to give security in the ordinary way. He might be kept in gol for six months as the matter stands, us he has to be brought before the Court by a creditor.
His Lordship-I suppose the Official Receiver prosecutes. The Official Receiver mentioned that the matter had been re- ferred to tho Crown Solicitor.
Mr Beavis-1 apply for his release on bail on such "condition as will satisfy the Court that he will torn up for his public examination on Thursday next.
His Lordship-The matter can stand over until next Thursday, when it will be considered.

In the many swamps and rivers on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico, Africa, and
other
parts men make a regular business of alligator hunting. During the last year | (Bays Science Siftings), one hunter has caught some 225 specimens of all sizes. He has a ready sale for them to Zoological Gardens and agents, and to the many individuals who have a fancy for wing these grotesque quardrupolls. A correspondent states that he went on an expedition with the young hunter. He writes:-
When we neared the marshes whore the alligators lurked, Jake, stopped and cut a cane a dozen or fifteen feet long, that he

of his whereabouts. He was standing on
the borders of a narrow channel of brown water that ho spoke of as an alligator aluc,' and which the alligator used as a highway when in search of food.
The creature had a hole just aside from
the glue, and Jake ran his pole into the muddy cavity half its length to let the
inmate know that something was going on. Then he bent over and, holding, his nose between his thumb and finger, grunted with a poculiar guttural in imitation of the voice of an old alligator. He watched the water intently, repeating the grunting at intervals. There was a slight movement at the surface, and he made a sudden grab, and out came a little alligator a foot long.
He grunted again, and secured another little fellow, and pretty soon a third. Then the ground quivered faintly, and the long
rode trembled. That's the big one-tlie mother,' whispered Jake, and requined his vocal gymnastics,
In a few moments there was just the least ruffling of the water, and before I could
