`OFFICIALLED “NEWS." SUZUKIS TO OPEN A LINE
Since the news agencies became officialised, strange ideas have deve- loped as to what is news. For. instance, Havas telegraphs: "Al- though great merit for having crossed the Atlanticbelongs to the Americans, one must remember that French avlaters have had the largest share in perfecting the dying machine."

Partiosları of the Eat,
The Shanghal Municipality has issued a notice prohibiting the posting of boycott posters in the Settlement and incitement to disorder. This appears to have encouraged the Japanese dealers to make a protest themselves.

Shortly afterwards the weather worse and I went from bad to was compelled to proceed to Hong kong for the sake of my own ship's safety."
On enquiry it seems likely that! the launch is the Standard Of Sung from Amoy to S which came Hongkong under her own steam. manned by Chinese. The Sung Sa left Hongkong on June 7 for Cebu with the same crew and nothing has since been heard of them. It is feared that the bad weather of the past few days has been disastrous to vessel and crew, probably the loss of all hands. There were no Europeans on board.
The Sense Maru left Hongkong at 6 a.m. yesterday and will pass the Pratas again. She has instruc- tions to look out for the wreck and the crew and effect a rescue if pos sible.

A SUSPICIOUS LOITERER.
At 1 p.m. a handcuffed Chinese, two detectives and a Chinese dressed in European clothes had a parliament in Pedder street. It seems that the handcuffed one was arrested by a watchman as he slept in the entrance of the Hongkong Hotel Mansions. He claimed relationship with one of the coalies of the Shanghai This caused Life Insurance Co
his being sent from the Police Station to be interrogated with hopes of finding one of the recent burglars at the Hotel Mansions.
Meeting the fourth-mentioned Chinese, who is connected with the Insurance Office, in Pedder Street the interrogation proceeded forth- with. There were 20 to 30 witnesses when a China Mail reporter came along. It seems that the man arrested claimed to know the coolie 20 years ago in Saigon. Just then a European Police Sergeant came up and stopped the proceedings, sending the parties off to the office for the rest of the examination.
THE WORST POSSIBLE THEFT.
That it was worse than stealing geese from the common to steal the common from the geese, is an old Whig reproach in England, "which nobody can deny.". To steal a man's umbrella, especially in rainy weather; ja a mean theft, if a common one, but public opinion is unaninious in deeming theft from a blind man the lowest kind of larceny.. To say of a man that he is mean enough to pinch the pennies from a blind man's cup is to assert that his reputation is not good, Sp we can understand the indignation of Magistrate Lind- sell which moved him to call an young accused person to-day a scoundrel." The lad had stolen the umbrella of a blind man in Des Voeux Road. He get only four weeks' for it.
REV. EVERARD DIGBY,
