The report mado by a Labuk named Sabandar Badredio, who had been sent down by the rebols to try and collect food on the Sugat, was and that the others were starving but not dreided that Panglima Tatik was supposed to be dying, about surrendering.

The expedition, after visiting the Labale and making sure that all who offered to surrender have done so, will probably return soon, leaving a sufficient force at each point to ensure future peace.
FRENCH TRADE WITH SOUTH CHINA..
HOW THE GOVERNMENT FOSTERS IT. The French Government does its best to faster French trade with the South of China, as the following letter recally addressed by the Minister of Commerce and Industry to the Presidents of the French Chambers of Commerce shows:- "Mr. President,
"As you know, the delimitation and commer. clal conventions signed at Peking on the 20th of June, 18gy, between France and China have opened to Franco-Annamite commerce the Chinese cities of Langchow in the province of Kuangst, and Meagir's and Sremao in Yannan. Among ather things, it has been agreed between the two contracting parties that the point opened to commerce on the river route from Lackai to Méngtze is to be no longer Manhao, but Hokan. "Sabrequently to these conventions, the Fives-Lfile Company obtained from the Chinese Government the concession of a`raliway which, as it consects itself with the prolongallon ofour Langson line, will put Lungchow in direct' communication wib Phulangthuong, that is to say, with the port of Halphong.
"This line, the maximum time stipulated for whose completion is three years, will apparently || be finished much sooner, and, in any case, private enterprise should begin to employ itself at once in realising the advantages of the relations already established with Lungchow, and which must develop when the railway reaches that point,
"My department and the Colonial Office can. not do too much to draw the attention of French trade to the advantages which the Toukin route will soon offer over any other to the com- mercial movement which silli takes the roula by Pakhof or Canton.
H
To get the benefit of these advantages, the Minister of the French Republic at Peking agrees with the Colonial Minister in thinking- and this opinion is corroborated by the annexed
| extract from the report for 1895 of Mr. Clarke, Acting Commissioner of Chinese Customs st Lungchow-that no method to the attainment of this could be more convincing and more declaive than the establishment in Lungchow of French houses which, by conducting their | traffic by Haiphong and the Tonkin route, should give to the antives the practical example without which it is not in their nature to try an experiment of this kind.
|
"I have the honour to beg you, Mr. Presiden!, | to be good enough to make known to the manu→ facturers and merchants within your sphere of action, who desire to secure or extend their busi- mess relations with Southern Chlas, the new condition of things which cannot but be preât- able to our commercial interests in this part of the world, particularly if their enterprise results ta putting the finishing touch to the parsevering efforts which our diplomacy kas achieved to assure to French commerce the advantages which flow from the Conventions of the zoth of June, 1895.

The second annual general meeting of the Sabah Stormship Co., Ltd., was held at the Company's offices, Sandakan, on the gik ultimo, The accounts for the year, though not quite so satisfactory as might have been anticipated, stiil show cause for congratulation, and it is satisfac- tery to nole that the Company has seen its way to build a new vessel the steamer Labuan and a considerably larger craft than either of their present boats. She is expected to arrive here about the end of the month.
Mr. Schack, lately in charge of the telegraph construction, tells us of a strange experience in natural history which some people would hardly credit. He says he saw recently on the Padas a very large snake colled on a branch overbanging the river. He was on the lookout for a meal, and a crocodile quietly swimming along paused under the tree, when the snake seized him by the back. Upen this the crocodile used his best endeavours to escape, but the make having a firm hold of the branch, would not let go, and a fair tug-of-war took place eventually resulting in the "croc palling the snake in two. Can any one tell us of their having observed a similar sight -—Herald.

A UNIQUE SCOTCH CASE:
curious case came before Under-Shera Burchell at the SherlEs' Court. A Mr. Whyto sued Lord Bal- four of Burleigh, Secretary for Scotland, for
damages caused by the defendant for having wrongfully refused to report in terms of the Secretary for Scotland Acts, 1885 and 1887, on the fraudulent misconduct of Lord MacLaren, one of the judges of the Court of Session at Judgment on law cases in which he was person Edinburgh, in persisting in sitting as a judge in ́ ally and pecanlarfly laterested, and also on the haudulent misconduct of Mr. J. Campbell Can- ney, the accountant of the Court of Session in Scotland, in falsifying his official accounts. The cause of action, if any, is certainly of a novel kind, and relates to Scottish affairs. Mr. Whyte has already made a personal application for a mandamus to make a report of the kind above mentioned. The ground of rejection of his application was that the wilt of mandamwa is not granted to a anitor in person; bat Lord Esher intimated as his opinion that the Secretary for Scotland had no power to ranka - such a report, and that the "claim was for the Scottish Courts to determine.
