Detective Sergean: McEwen, who was in charge of the case, applied for a re. mand, which was granted.
CHINA'S LOANS.
ANOTHER ADDITION TO
DEFAULTER'S LIST..
Another external loan of the Chinese Government has defnitely entered the defaulter's list, the Hukhang Railways & per cent. Gold Loan, 1911. This is the largest of the Chinese louus on which coupons are overdue, the outstanding amount of the principal being £3,810,800. A year ago the mid-December coupon was not paid at due date, but it was met alter a, delay of about six weeks. Whether the non-payment will this time prove a matter of so short a period cannot be predicted, but misgivings are increased by the fact that this is the third default on a Chinese Government bond since the end of Octo- ber, and if the two "non-secured loans known to the London market are included there are now five issues on which the service has been suspended. The list is As follows:

SALT GABELLE IN SHANTUNG,
PEKING GOVERNMENT'S ORDER
IGNORED.
EASIATIC NEWS' SERVICE}
"Under the pretext that money is needed to meet heavy military expenses, string- ent orders to the Chief of the Salt 1,111,300 Gabelle and the Chief of the Financial Department at Tsinanfu have been issued 5,610,500 by the General Commanding in Shan-
tung, instructing them to retain all the 1,803,200 revenue from salt in the province and not to remit any to the "Central Salt 600,000 Gabelle, in Peking. The General threat- ens to punsh in accordance with military £11,435,600 laws any person or persons, who dare to disobey his instructions. The order of the Peking Government has been ignored. It will be remembered that the order for the seizure of the salt revenues was can celled in October last when the Anfu Minister of Finance. Le Shit. Hao, pro- mised to pay General Chang $300,000 monthly The General complains that Peking has broken this promise and con- sequently, he orders the detention of the salt receipts by the provincial treasury without notifying. Peking.
This report has now been officially confirmed.
Default already on nearly 11 millions sterling of China's external obligations is, says The Times, a melancholy refice- tion of the political chaos that for the time being makes Chinese affairs the despair of the ordinary Western observer,
