A QUEE POSSIBILITY,
A sustained interest is still attached to the Mussian plans of paval reconstuction, partly in view of subsequent happenings, and partly by reason of the intervention of that huge American concern, 'he Bethlehom Stool and Iron Company, the president of which, the renowned Mr Schwab, munde a special visit to St. Petersburg at this junc- ture in connection with tenders for Russian battleships. The actual negotiations in "this connection have no special interest, but the circumstance that the resources of a country like the United States should be at the disposal of a belligerent nation, with the aims and nethods of which the Ameri can people can hardly ho said to have much sympathy, has a certain historical interest which must not be overlooked, "Of course, it was eagontial to the performAT OB of any such contract as that sought. by Mr Schwab that he war should be terminated before the delivery of a single war hip. But the power of nation-1 'wealth can burdly be batter illustrated than by possibilities such as those hero indlested.

ALLEGED IMPERSONATION.
Judgment For Plaintiff.
The case of alleged impersonation and forgory was concluded in the Original Juris diction of the Supreme Court, before the Chief Justice (Sir Francis Piggott), this morning.
A
The plaintiff (Lo Kwong Chiu) sued the defendant (Vicenzo Pietro Musão di Peralta) and asked that a document bearing date March 28, 1905, and purporting to
deed of mort gage by the plaintiff to the defendant of the plaintiff's share and interest in Inland Lot No 7, bo set aside, and that the registration thereof in the Land Office be cancelled; that a declaration be made by the Court that the said document was a for- gery and void and that no charge upon the piece of land or the plaintiff's interest thereof be effected thereby.
IN THE GRIP OF A TYPHOON.
A Rough Scene on the Harbour,
After having enjoyed comparative im munity from typhoons for about twelve mouths the Colony was visited by one to-day, The first warning was given yesterday by the typhoon signal being hoisted at the Observatory and lator by the firing of the typhoon gun at 10 o'clock last night. As the night word on, however, the elements became quieter and it was thought that the depression was passing away from the Colony, but this morning the wind again raged and hopes for fine weather were dispelled by the following notice issued from the Ob servatory:---
The barometer has risen in Formosa aud fallen much in the neighbourhood off Hongkong. The centro, of the typhoon which appears to be situated from 100 to 150 miles to the E.S.E. of Hongkong will Mr E. H. Sharp, K. C., and Mr probably approach the Colony nearly. H. . Calthrop (instructed by Mr K. A. Should its present course towards W.N.W, Harding of Mesars Ewens, Harston, and be maintained the centre will pass to the Harding) appeared for the plaintiff, S. of the Colony and a very heavy gale if while Bir H. E. Pollock, K. C., (instruct-unt full Typhoon will blow from N.E. to ed by Mr E. A. Bonner, of Mossra Denny's and Bowley) represented the de- fendant.
His Lordship, in giving judgment, ❤asid :—The mortgage on which the defen-
dant relics in this case is a palpable fraud. It is quite possible that owing to the use of A name which was not the name of the true owner of the property mortgaged the case might not fall strictly within any of the definitions of forgery given by Stophons in his Digest of the Criminal Law; though I have little doubt that such a case as the present, if it had occurred in England, would have been added to the list of cases given in Article 356, illustrativo of what is meant by making a false document. But even if this were not so, the offence
fulso of obtaining money on
pro tences was commmitted. The argument of the defendant's counsel pressed to its logical conclusion comes to this: that although the maker of the dood had been found guilty of one these fences, yet the true owner is not entitled to have it cancelled or set aside if he comes to the Court under circum stances which raise suspicions as to his document of title; in other words that the deed found to be a fraudulent deed is to

S.E.
At 9 o'clock the barometer stood at about 29,40 and by12.30 p.m. it had fallen to 9.30 and was still going down. The centre of the typhoon was then estimated to be from 3 to 100 miles away from the Colony and the wind was blowing a strong gale from the north cast, whence we get most of our typhoon weather.
At the first hoisting of the typhoon signal most of the sampana and smaller craft in the harbour made for shelter and any that still lingered wore off at daylight this morning, after having their fears con- firmied by the 6ring of the typhoon gun,
This morning masters of steamers also considered it prudent to make for Junk Bay and many went into sholter there. A fow steamers, however, remained behind with steam up, and their masters spent a very anxious time.

STOPPAGE OF THE PEAK TRAM.
A Rope That Slipped.
The cars of the Peak Tramway ceased running at B'o'clock last night, and much to the disappointment of residents of the higher levels, who had to face the elements, did not resume running this morning.
There were many guesses as to the cause of this, and a rumour was circulated that it was owing to the approach of the typhoon. That was not so, however, for on making inquiries it was learned that the stoppago last night was made in order to effect some necessary repairs.
These included splicing the rope by which the cars are drawn, and while this operation was in progress one end of the rope, slipped, by some means, be tween 6 and 7 o'clock this morning, and the workmen were confronted with the formidable task of dragging it back up the hill again. To accomplish this force of upwards of 50 coolies was secured and after a good deal of trouble they accomplish ed the task.
In consequence of the stoppage there were a large number of very unwilling pedestrians from the Peak this morning, The sudden demand for chairs created quite corner in the market for those conveyances and consequently walking was the only means of coming to business open to a large number.

A COLLISION AT SEA.
Claim for Damagės.

TROUBLE IN AMOY.
Arrest of Boycott I eaders.
The Canton Times publishes a column dealing with affairs in Amoy, arising out of the boycott. According to this article it would appear as if the American Consul of that port, has been seeking to have sundry leaders of the boycott arrested. Three men are singled out Chan Tez Lin, Wong-Nai Cheung, and Lin Nga Tong, who have been prominently conspicuous in advocating the movement with which we are now so familiar.
The American Consul, according to this report, sent a despatch to the Intendant of the Circuit, complaining of the aggressive ness of those three gentlemin, pointing out that the present agitation is endangering the poaceful relationship between two friendly powers, and urging that they bo forthwith arrosted.

The most effective method by which Anieri- ca can meet the present opposition, next to reciuding the obnoxious laws, is to let things run their course, and stand by whilst this burst of native anger oxpends itself.
The Intendant at once communicated with Chan Tez Lin, and asked him to explain. The gist of the reply is that all the provinces of China are acting in the sane way, and are imbued with the ame determination. Amoy may not be regarded as a solitary exception, Moreover, in Amoy itself, unless the sympathics of the people ran in favour of the boycott, no one man could create it, and since the people are a determined, no one man can uproot it.

boycott are specially distasteful to the Consul. The organisation has attempted to prevent the natives from ntering the local churches, which are under the direc- tion of American missionaries; and farther has tried to influence those who have been members to leave their old societies, and join others. Secondly, the League did its best to prevent any property from being lot to Americans. These conditions are said to be especially obnoxious, not unna- turally, to the American Consul.

The Times voices the universal regret felt at Lord Cutzon's resignation of an offiou which he has filled with such exceptional
distinction.
The Times believes that the attitude of the Home Government is, on the whole, right and wise, and thinks that Lord Curzon would have been better advised if he had not withdrawn his first resignation.
But it is of opinion that the tone of Mr Brodrick's despatches was not calculated to bring about an amicable settlement.
The Times trusts that Lord Curzon will soon find another field for his high and varied gifts.

and £40,000 upon other eractions and extensions. Notwithstanding this heavy outlay, the premier cricket club is in a very happy financial condition, as befits a con- cern that has a subscription list amounting to over £13, 100 and an annual turnover of £25,000. In days of yore-in point of fact, 1833-nine matches played on the Club's ground only entailed an outlay of £75; to-day, match exponses amount to about £3,400. That the Club, gives the public value for its mouey can be gathered from the fact that the gate receipts during a season have failed ero this to balance match expenses. Lord's, from the Test Match crowd's point of view, is searely so elastic as the Oval, but its playing area of five acres is generally regarded as being capable of being surrounded by 92,00 spectators and on one occasion-the Test Match of June, 1896-the writer formed one of a crowd of 26,414 enthusiasta, some of whom had the hardihood to seat themselves on the sacred embankment immediately in front of the pavilion itself, to the intense disgust of the members within the hallowed Tailings. So far as Test Match records are concerned, Lord's is the antithesis of the Oval. Thore, in 1888, England put together her most abbreviated total (53) in a match that saw forty wickets falling for 291 runs, the lowest aggregato yet scored in a test game, SHUN LEE & CO.,

either here or down under.' Of the record wicket stands, England's second (152) and fourth (171) and Australia's fourth (221) and sixth (142) were scored at Lord's, which hea yet to be the scope of an individual innings of 300 ruus in first-class cricket. The high- est total in first-class match at Lord's is 607 for M.C.C. and Ground against Cambridge in 19 2, and the smallest during the past thirty years 16, when the home team was disposed of by Surrey in forty-four minutes and 7 wickets were down for no ruus.
