The Gas Stokers of Leeds are on strike and the city is in darkness.

WHILE the British steamer Zaar was on her way up to Shanghai from Hongkong, one of the Firemen, a German, jumped overboard and was drowned.

There was a big swell rolling in from the NW although there was no wind from that direction. The ballast, consisting of 1,100 slabs oftiv, each weighing about 66 lb., was saved, as also the specie and gold and silver plate belonging to H. M. the King of Siam. Io fact, everything valuable was taken out of the ship with the exception of two brass deck pumps. Of course the engines and boilers are still in the ship, but the bottom of the boiler has dropped out. The Vesairi was an iron screw steam yacht of g2 tons nett and 168 tons gross. She was 124 feet long, az feet beam, and drew over 12 feet of water. She was built and engined in Southampton in 1877, by Messrs. Day, Summers & Co..

SIRS,In accordance with your instructions we beg to forward you the following remarks in reference to the letter received by you on the 16th inst. from the Sanitary Board in which your attention is invited "to the nuisance existing on the Fraya in front of Marine Lots Nos. 10s & 103 caused by foul waste waters flowing from the Lots in question on to the public street, and to request that you will be good enough to abate this nuisance by executing the following works. viz:-
"A. Lead all waste waters through trapped inlets into the present house drains,'
OUR correspondent in Korea writes General Le Gendre, the new Adviser to the King of Korea, who visited Hongkong on the roth of May last for the purpose of negotiating a loan of $1,500,000 and inducing Prince Min Yong Ik to return to and assist, with his advice, the Tal Wong of Tab Chosep, returned to the capital of Korea on the 28th ulto, when he assumed duty as Vice-President of the Korean Home Office, As the Russo-American-Japanese party seems jubilant it is believed that the gallant General has succeeded in "raising the wind" somewhere, But what use a million' and a half of dollars can be to this unfortunate country at the present time it is difficult to comprehend. The American and Japanese troops have left the capital and returned to their ships at Chemulpo. No shots exchanged, no blood spilt. Only a revolting exhibition of Yankee "bluff" for which the U.S. Minister, Heard, will probably get into pretty hot water at no very distant date," LAST night we heaped coals of fire on Mr. Harry Stanley's head to the extent of two dollars, in fulfilment of our promise to see whatever his Company did that was worth seeing: The Frivate Secretary" was billed, but "Harbour Lights," that good old Adelphi drama written by Sims and Pettiti, was played, and, taken by and large, well played. The cast was footpath."" heavy enough, goodness knows; there were including that of our talented townsman Mr. twenty-three or four names on the programme, H. Lightwood, who sustained the part of Frank Morland, the man who gets murdered. Mr. Lightwood looked very handsome, but his Frank Morland was twice murdered. Mr. Pye, a Nicholas Morland, the bad map was likewise, a "frost." As cantortionist and eye-roller he was all that could be desired, but his villany was too prominent-it was projecting a foot. Mr. F. Fletcher, as Lieut. Kingsley, R.N., had a first-class chance, but only occasionally took advantage of it. His "lines" evoked boundless applause from the defenders of our country, away at the back, but his acting was not up to the usual standard." Mr. J. Empson, as old Captain Nelson, was good, now; he was natural; and Mr. Boyd, another Captain, quite excelled himself. Mr. Lyndon was once more promoted to a principal part, as Mark Helstone, and, barring a few solecisms and incon gruities of costume, was passable.

CUT RATES TO CALIFORNIA.
In a letter written to the late Surveyor General on the 31st March 1888, in reply to one from Mr. Price of the 29th March and one from Mr. Cooper of the 19th March, referring to this very subject, we wrote as follows:-"We make it a practice in all buildings of this class to construct surface channels to carry off surface water from yards and roofs, the water finding its way into the house drains through cast iron dip, traps. Wo were not allowed to do this at that time, and although we protested against it, the only reply 24th July, 1888, stating that unless we complied with his (Mr. Cooper's) letter of the 19th March, the Surveyor General wou'd not give you permis. sloa to erect a verandah over the side walk. All of which was reported to you at the time and we received your instructions accordingly. Again on the 27th July 1888, seeing at that time that if all this water from the surface channels was allowed to flow over the footpath, a great nuisance would be created, we wrote Mr. Cooper as follows (when forwarding him the amended plan of these surface channels) enquiring “how the rain water from the channels is to be disposed of" to which we received no reply.
year's lease at the nominal rental of $5 per annum was offered to the Club and, of course, thankfully accepted.

are:
1. Because the Military applied some time ago for the ground now leased to Athletic Club, and didn't get it.
2. Because the Race-course is too small for the Golfand Polo Clubs, and soldiers and sailors. 3.-Because the signatories couldn't see why a Club newly sprung into existence, and the success of which was by no means assured, should have this con- cession.
