A SHANGHAI "BUNDER,"
A report apparently current in Shanghai that the steamer Knight Commander shipped at Woosung a thousand cases of rifles for Japau is gravely and authoritatively contradicted by the N-C. Daly News. There was no necessity to do so. Most people are aware that Murats rifles do not come from Shanghai.

CLAIM FOR COMMISION.
The adjourned hearing was heard of the case in which Lau Kam Sing sued Taing Kong for $265.60.being commission on the purobase by the defendant of 9,000 barrels of Portland cement. Mr. E. J. Griat, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, solicitors, appareil for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. Hurthouse, of Mossrs. Dennys and Howley. solicitors, fer the defondant.
Plaintiff was compradors of Das Chee and Co. Defonlaut was a contractor carrying on business here: Some time in July, - 1902, defendant entered into a contract with Dan Chor & Co. for the purchase of $1,000 barrels of cement. He was introduced by the co pradore, and the compradore claimed from him in respect of that purchase commission at the rate of one-half por cent. on the price. There was no specific contract to pay this money, but there was the usual custom of the trade here, and the 'custom was that where a Clünese firm was introduced to a firm carrying on business here through a compradore, and the compradore guaranted the contract, he should be untitled to charge the parchaser à percentage on the purchase,
The defence was that it was not a question of custom with Chinese in these matters, but
whether it was in consonance with British hum and reasonable in this case, as the plaintiff had had nothing to do with this contract being entered into and did not even act as interpretor at the introduction.
Owing to the absence through sickness of one of the witnesses for the defence. Mr. Wright, the hearing was adjourned when up for hearing last,
Mr. Hurathouse put in the affidavits with respect to Mr. Wright, who is not yet out of hospital.

THE SHANGHAI-NANKING
RAILWAY.
By October at the latest, unless some very unforeseen circumstanies occurs, the Best sois will almost certainly have been turned of the railway between Shanghai and Nanking, and it will have been done under British direction. It is pleasant to be able to make such a reassuring statement as this, after all that has been writion in regard to the turdiness with which British railway concessions in Chine-and this one in particular-have been taken up. There is no question but that the prolonged delay, in facu of the extraordinary efforts now being put forward all over the Empire, and backed by tho governments of continental power, has been a caure of maraviness to those who regard these enterprises from the political rather than from the immediate commercial standpoint. And the final withdrawal of British capital and control in this particular interest would bave been the more regrettable, soeing that regarded solely as a profit-caning undertaking the proposed railway offers exceptionally promising prospects: Residents in China will not need to be reminded that the railway is to run through a tract of country thickly to ming with an Industrious a thriving popalation, people workover who are di-tinatly fnm urable to the railway idea.

Foreman: Who gave the burial order? Mr. Gompertz explained that the officer in charge of post mortemu made a report, and the body was buried in due course unless there sisem- 1 to be suspicious circumstances, or unless someone asked for an enquiry. An enquiry was not usually held unless it seemed that it was necessary to get to the bottom of scue matter, or bring a criminal charge against someone, or to find out if donth wors due to causes such as would justify a jury bringing in a finding of criminal negligence. If any person offered to give evidence, or if anyone asked for an inquiry it would hardly he refused.

VICEROY VERSUS VICEROY.
A Wachang dispatch reports that General Lin Kuang-taai, who lately commanded a larga body of troops in Kussgai province and who has been denounced to the Throne by Viceroy Teen Chun-bo-n on the charge of inability to keep pro, er control over his mon, has been recommended, on the other hand, to the Throne by Viceroy Chang Chib-tung, who asks that the General may be allowed to come to the Hukaang provinces. The reason is that Viceroy Chong Chih-fang fears that the Kungsi robes may break into Hunan province, and baring great confidence in General Liu Kuang-ta's, wants him to take command of a strong body of Hukuang troops who are to encamp on the Hunan-Kuangai borders, to prevent the Kongsi rebels from repeating their rid of last year.
