The Hermes is expected to arrive Hong Kong to-morrow.
PEACE PROSPECTS BRIGHTER.
Nanking, To-day. Prospects of a deinite peace. settlement are
the looming on. horizon once again as the result of a decision by Government leaders to make important concesalona, among which is the postponement of the National Congress originally scheduled to open on November 12. This, it is stated, is duo to the fact that the Canton delegates have agreed to go to Nanking from Shanghai.
Chen Ming-shu, with the Nine- teenth Route Army, has arrived at Nanking-Renter.
In giving his decision this morn-| Ing, the Paisne Judge refered to the facts brought, out at the Inst hearing; and to his findings that the plaintiff's dismissal was unjustified; that at the time of his dismissal the plaintiff's wages was $200 per month: and that the amount of damages recoverable must be based on wages of $200 per month.
Led Astray.
His Lordship said that he was led astray at the time by the insis: tenco of Mr. H. L. Dennys, for the plaintiff, that the plaintiff was wrongfully dismissed when, in fact, H.K. Electrics were dealt in at it was nothing of the sort. $761⁄2..
China Lights were in the market;
Telephones (part paid) were ob tainable.at $27.
Cements (combined) had sellers at $19.

LAS CLOUDY.
The Royal Observatory's weather report to-day states:
The anti-cyclone is central. to the West of Hankow.
A depression covers 8.W. Japan.
A typhoon between 800 and and 400 miles E.S.E. of Manila is moving W.N.W.
Forecast:-N. winds, strong; fine; cloudy,
Typhoon Warning. The following telegram was received from the Manila Ob. servatory by the American Con- sulate General this morning :-
Manila, November 6, 9 a.m. Typhoon in about 127 degreca Long, E., and 13 degrees Lat. N., moving W.N.W.
Rainfall,
Rainfall for 24 hours ent4. ed at 10 a.m. to-day mil. Total since January 1--74.87 inches against an average of 80.81 inches deficit 5.94 inches.
Temperature.
The temperature at certain specified centres this morning at 6 o'clock was:-
Hong Kong Macao... Pratas Island Amoy .... Foochow
He found now; as an additional fact, that the agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant firm was the one on which the parties were agreed, and he was satisfied that on September 9' (the date of the giving of notice to plaintiff by de-) fendants) that agreement was still; in force. That was to say,. that either party could give 24 hours' notice of termination of service.
In fact, his Lordship said, the do- fendants did give the plaintiff 24 hours' notice and that was aulicient, without any cause being shown. He found, therefore, that the pla.n- tiff was entitled only to the amount he had earned while in the service of the defendants, namely, $225.79,) the amount which was paid into Court.
Ilis Lordship stated further that he did not find that there was any proper tender of that amount by the defendants to the plaintiff, and, therefore, the plaintiff was entitled to his costs up to the time of the paying of the amount into Court; and the defendants were entitled to their coats since that time.
Mr. F. C. E. Rendall, for the. defendants, then made an applica tlon for the amount paid into Court to remain pending the taxation of bills.
Mr. Dennys objected, aaying that It was not usual.
His Lordship declined to consider Mr. Rendall's application, stating that the plaintiff must have liberty to take the amount out of Court.
