THE Singapore Stralis Timex hears that eight policemen havo bren supplied for the mainten ance of order at Raub, and that the work of extending the Selangor telegraph Ine to Ranb has been began.

A GERMAN, described as Mr. Oscar Klienschmidt, merchant, of Victoria Buildings, Queen's Road, was charged before Mr. Wodehouse at the Police Court this morning with an offence against common decency. He admitted the charge and excused himself by saying he was drunk. Five dollars. Cheap at the price. A Chinese would most likely have been sant to gaol for a month without the option of a fine.
MR. J. F. M. Cock, superintendent of the Government Plantations at Perak, committed suicide on the 12th ulto, by throwing himself overbpard from a steamer he was voyaging in to India.

We learn on good wuthority that the report in the Macro Liberiade the other day, stating that the chief, of the gang of pirates who plundered the Douglas Co's steamer Namsa had been captured is premature. A man implicated in the piracy was arrested at the Ladrone islands, which doubtless gave currency to the rumour, but he was not the leader of the gang. The so-called pirate chief is very well known in Macro, but so far he has succeeded in cluding the energetic vigilance of both the Portuguese and Chiarie authorities. The Hongkong police, it would appear, have highly distinguished themselves by displaying that masterly inactivity which is their especial forte, unless when valuable so-called Chinese criminals are in request by the Cantonese Government, or innocent men have to be made. martyrs to atone for official bungling..

THE DOG'S COLLAR MYSTERY,
Mak San, aged 23, of Sam Ul, "house-boy" to Mr. William Legge, who was charged at the Police Court with stealing a dog collar and
chain, valued at one dollar, from his master at the conclusion of the remarkable kidnapping case which was reported fully in these columns last Saturday, was again brought before Mr. Wodehouse to-day.
Charles C. Maisch, of the Public Works Department, snid that the dog, chain never belonged to him and he never give it to the prisoner.
Makdeclined to cross-examiner. Malsch, but stated that Mr. Malsch'sson gave him the chain. On being recalled "Mr, Malsch' stated that he had a step-soo, who left, this colony in April 1889. He prosessed one dog's chain and that was taken home England Alter considera- tion, the witness remembered another chain which was bought for him, but he couldn't say whether the chain produced in court was the one he referred to. He rather thought it was
not.
The prisoner stated that a coolle named Also, now employed in Mosque Terrace, bought the chain.
His Worship at this stage adjaarned the further bearing of the charge until Saturday next, bail being allowed in two sureties of $25 each.
We have no desire to unduly interfere with the course of justice, but would really like to know what all this fooling means. The charge is a ridiculous one, whether true or false, and the manner in which it has been played with at the Magistracy is only anotherinstance of public justice burlesqued,
