At the Magistracy yesterday afternoon a American named Charles Frederick White Warrinor surrendered to his bail to answer a charge of larceny as bailes of 8318, the money of Esther Rubinstein.
Inspector Murison conducted the prosecu
tion, and Mr. Russ appeared for the

Inspector Murison explained, that the defendant had loft for Manila but re-
turned on hearing that proceedings were instituted against him.
His Worship-There was no arrest? Inspector Marison said that when de fendant heard there was a warrant for his arrest he waived extradition.
Mr. Russ-He simply came back. Father Rubinstein. residing at the Astor House Hotel, said she loft Bau Francisco on the 31st May, by the 8., Defendant joined the ship at China, Honolulu, and they became friends. As she had to send to her husband for money, defendant promised to help her. He sent off three wires for her. She was with him when he sent two of the cables, The first one he sent for her.
Witness paid for the wires. She got a reply from her husband stating that money had been remitted to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. She proceeded there and obtained, $300. When she returned from the bank defondant said he would seenre the tickets for Calcutta for herself, two children and assistant, and asked her for 8318, the necessary amount.

SILVER.
Precautions are still being taken to prevent people carrying silver out of the province and anyone found with more than $50 silver will have the money con ficated. Two days ago a man was found with $2,000 in silver and was stopped by the Customs trying to sninggle it out of Canton. This money was ennfiscated and the case is causing not a little talk and agitation. The people consider it a very high-banded action of the Government, and it would appear that the action only makes them more anxious to carry their money in silver and not in notes. places like Hongkong and Maczo, where inerchants and others are continually going to, the local notes are not accepted, and these people if they wish to buy there must tender silver, so one can see the difficulties that arise when silver is not allowed to be taken out of.
