July, 15, 1899.
H.M.S Waterwitch, having completed her surrey in the vicinity of Tinghai İsland, re- turned to Shanghai on the 2nd July.
At the Mixed Court at Shanghai the other day, before Mr. Wêng (magistrate), and Dr. Barohet (U.S. assessor), a native reporter of the Hat Shang Jeh Pao was charged with black- mailing Messrs. Olivier, de Langenhagen & Co.'s compradore. The trouble arose over a case of piece-goods which had been stolen from the Shanghai and Hongkew Wharf Co.'s godowns last week and to whom the goods were consigned. The reporter wrote a paragraph stating the compradore was the thief and re- fused to contradict it unless paid the sum of $160. The court sentenced accused to three months' imprisonment.
* ́A newly-arrived student of the French Lega- tion, whilst riding outside the Chèng-yang Gate, Peking, on Sunday, 25th June, jostled against two mounted Chinese soldiers. They showed some irritation probably, and the young man foolishly raised bis whip at them, at which they attacked him, and together with some of the bystanders gave him a bit of a mauling. As he was seen going abont Peking the same evening, however, he was presumably not se. riously hart, but such imprudence might have eaused his death -Peking and Tientsin Times.

We (N. C. Daily Newsy regret to have to an- nounce the sudden death at the Commercial Hotel, Shanghai, on the morning of the 6th July, of Mr. Karl Steele-Tolle, an eminent violoncellist and a native of Germany, at the age of 65. He arrived at Shanghai about six months ago having previously visited the place about twenty years ago, but his hand had lost its cunning, and he would have farad badly but for the kind- ness of the Philharmonic Society, Commander Vela. Professor Sternberg, and Mr. F. L. Cromp ton. He held several Germa- diplomas for pro- ficiency in music, and was at one time a member of Herr Aug. Manns' famous Crystal Palace orchestra. He spent ten years in Java, where he gave many successful concerts, and pursued his profession in Leipsic between 1890 and 1897. He was humarried, two sisters being his only living near relatives. Dr. Panlun was called when it was found that, he was dead and certified that he died of apoplexy. He was found dead at 8.45 a.m. having taken his coffee as usual two hours before. He was buried in the evening at the Bubbling Well Read Cemetery, Fastor Krantz officiating.
