Yü Empress Dowager was highly displeased with the ex-Viceroy for allowing photographs to be taken, and this aggravated the case against him. Four persons have been arrested for attempting to take photographs at the Mausoleum, and they have been tried by the Court of Cassation which intends to sentence the principal to strangulation and the accessories to imprisonment. It is further reported, naively, that though the Prince Regent demurred in the matter he was obliged to conform to rule and accepted the Viceroy's dismissal as recommended. Sympathy is expressed for the Viceroy, who is popular with all who know him.-N.-C. Daily News.

INTERPORT CRICKET MATCH.
SIXTH DAY.
VICTORY FOR STRAITS.
The sixth day's cricket on Saturday attracted a large attendance of spectators, whose interest in the contest between the Straits and Shanghai was quickened by the close finish in the first innings, Shanghai having totalled 239 for their first innings on Friday and their opponents had
made 176 for the loss of seven wickets. Maartenez and Hennessy continued their good stand on Saturday morning and carried the score up to 2.8 before a separation was effected. The figures had just been altered to 240, giving the Straits a margin of one, when Cavendish was caught.
Shanghai then went to the wicket, but failed to make as good a stand as on the previous day, being all out for 150. Hennessy was very successful in his bowling, but Mackenzie did not do so well. The Straits on going in had little difficulty in knocking up the requisite number, and reached 150 for the loss of six wickets, thus winning the game by four wickets.
