The Silter Standard and, the Straite Currency Question. By AUGUST HUTTENBACK. Meurs. Kelly and Walsh. This little volume of 147 pages should be read by everybody interested in the question of the bour. The author is an advocate of a gold standard and his arguments are put with commendable lucidity and tarmeness. He first discusses the silver standard in its relation to prices, the wage earner, trade, the Government, the country and the producer. In thesecond part of the book the question of a gold standard for the Straits in dealt with, having regard to the circumstances of the loss trade. Concerning the Straits trade with China the author declares that na regarda Chino's parolasss from the Straits they are to a great extent the produce of the surrounding countries, which Chins must hase, and which are not produced by any other silver-using country. And as regards the would be carried en slike under noy slan- The problem in the Straits as in dard. Hongkong is difficult through the Straits trade being a transit trade, but is more complicated than here, for Hongkong, as the author remarks, would have only one hinterland to reckon with and not with a dozen of them like the Straits, and theso differently constituted and disposed. The problem consists in constracting a method which while giving fixoty cannot through His medus of introduction indict injury an the Straits and co-users, and

Before tho photograph could be supplied, however, the daughter fell sick, and she and the witness journeyed to Canton for recuperation. They subsequently returned to Hongkong and were visited by the defendant, who, after drawing witness's attention to her omission and dilating on the pains and penalties attaching thereto, said be would make everything all right for $15. The money was paid and accepted, but on the following day the defendant returned and said that $15 was not

DISORDERLY AMERICAN.
Louis Frederick Walton, cook on the U.S.8. New Orleans, had three charges against his name -one of babsving in a disorderly manner in Thomas's Hotel, another of damaging an Indian comstolie's tunic to the extent of 33, and a third of assaulting this Indian and an Indian sergeant of police as well in the execution of their duty. To all of them he pleaded not guilty.
A bar boy in Themes's Hotel gave evidence as to the disorderly behaviour. He said the defendant called for drinks and refused to pay

AUTOMOBILES IN CHINA..
The Bureau of Foreign Commerce at department Washington recently sent a instruction to various consular officers, requeat ing them to report on present market conditions in the automobile trade in foreign countries, Amongst the replies are a few from China, but there is naturally not such information to give. Consul John Fowler, of Chofov, says that, outside of the foreign settlements of Shangbai, Tientsin, Hankow, and possibly one or two other smaller ones, he doubts if a carriage of any description could be used on the streets and roads of Shantang; therefore there is no market in this distriot for automobiles, nor does he think that there will be for a long time to come. Consul H. B. Miller reports from Newohwang that the tariff on automobiles coming into Manchuris through Newchwang
