Cross-examined-The cash-bay was usually stalloned in the hail, at the foot of the main staircase, where the call-whistles were situated, The only reason witness could suggest for the police uct arresting the cash-boy was the fact of Mr. Gilchrist and the P. & 0, man being posi tive about the second defendant having com. mitted the assault. The jantor defendant bad been eight years in the employ of the Hotel Company and bore a good character; the elder "boy" was inclined to be in too great a hurry In asking for payment for drinks. It was likely that he would try to prevent a customer from leaving the bar if he had not paid for its drinks, Shia Kam, office boy in the Hongkong Hotel, wald be called Mr. Tucker from the dining; room at about 8 o'clock, owing to Chia Kal Ying, the cashier, ordering him to do so, as there was a fight going on in the lower bar.

A. P. Sequeira, clerk of the Hongkong Hotel, sald he was in the main hall of the Hotel at 8 p.m. on the 1st lastant. At that hour, hearing commotion outside the Pedder's Street entrance, he went in doar and there met, a Foropean, who said- Where has that 'boy ' gone?" Witness turned back and, looking up and down the corridor, saw no one. Then be went down the couldor and entered the lower bar by the Praya door, where he saw two Europeans, one of them the man who bad afready spoken to him. At that time there were several boys' behind the counter, but he did not know ex-ctly how many. The two defen- dants were there; also the cash-boy. He saw a European lying on the floor, on his back, near the fire place, with his head about 12 inches from the edge of the fender. The police were sent for and then he went back to the office.
By the Court-No one passed him in the hall when he went out of the Pedder's Street entrance to see what the nolae was about.
Cross-examined-He did not notice who was behindthe bar counter before Mr. Tucker entered, nor did he see any "boy" enter the bar through the private entrance. When asked by the European "where has that 'boy' gone?"

Word bas lately come to this place that four, some reports say five, Chinamen in Chow-haien, have been killed in a row, the origin of which was their conversion to Christialty." The principal figure among these murdered men was a des- cendant of Mencius, and a man of wealth and some standing, who in the eyes of his neighbours and elansmen and disgraced beyond sufferance the
name of one of China's great worthles by adapting the religion of the "foreign devlis. Last year he became a Catholic convert. The energetic German Catholic Bishop Anser, who recently received a decoration from the German Emperor, Is at the head of the work in Yenchow prefecture, In which Chow-bslen Is situated. The Taoizi's deputy, a Mr. Chin, is already on his way to the
scene of the disturbance.
Case No. 2 recently happened la the field occupied by the English Baptists who live in Chou plug, fifty miles east of this place, and who carry on work in a number of districts. Ie one of these, viz.. Crib-ch'wan, eight or nine of their adherents were beaten, two of them so severely that their lives were er dangered. Chib-ch'wan is known to the outside world somewhat because of its mineral resources. It was the site deter mined upon for the opening of coal mines under Foreign supervlalon. Tale enterprise, however, bas not yet materialized,
A third case is the expulsion of the Roman Catholics from the prefectural city of Tai-ngan, T'al-ngan is at the base of the famous Taliban. It has for some years past been peaceably occupied by missionaries of the Church of England. The American Methodists also have property is the city although no Foreigners of the mission are resident there. Last year the Catholics of the Franciscan order in Chinantu bought property, but before gaining srcure possession they were ousted, and the Foreign priest managing, or shall we say mismanaging the affair, was poilicly beaten and promise extorted from him to attempt no farther purchase of property in the place.

The ten houses and other dwellings were gaily decorated with coloured lanterns and flags, whilst a number of small booths studded the hill, which had been erected for the pur- pose, containing both edibles and drinkables, and in others, theatricals and wrestling were carried on. In fact one and all clubbed together to make it a general holiday, and they succeeded extremely well. The weather was fine and pleasant.
