accused; his calling pred poses him to place a high value on his accuracy; his natural disposition as evidence before us shows is that
of a man accustomed to observe carefully and determined to see all to be seen of any given action. That he could see all' this tragedy is clear. It was about full moong the moon was either shining or “coming from shadow; the vessel was so small that from where he stood the parties in interest did not exceed 20 feet froin him; he was in no danger and could see and observe without fear or personal feeling. In his testimony he is positive and direct. He is corroborated also by certain physical facts. He testifies that Woods was shot when very close to Fontain. Dr. MacDonald finds powder grains in Woods' wound. The testifies that the compradore was farther away from Toal- min at the third shot, stooping, looking back over his telt shoulder. Dr. MacDonald found no powder in the compradore's wound, the ball striking the angle of the jaw on the left side of the face, and tanging upwards, but without force enough to make its egress from the skull. Toulmin testifies that Woods was wounded by A sint from the settle hatch, while the shot which killed the compradore came from his (the compradore's) own pistol, held about the height of the chest, In that case the powder grains would be in the compradore's wound, and not in Woods! These facts cor roborata Randall and not Toulmin. Again it must he taken into consideration that Toulmin is the accused. Randali, so far as one can see, is disinterested. We see a reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of Randall's testimony alone, this is positive that the deceased Cheng Lei San came to his death from a wound from a pistol held in the hands of and fired by the accused Richau Toulmin,
We see no evidence of any premeditation of this crine. The testimony goes to show that Toulmin weakened by lack of fun and excited and irritated by liquor, the heat and by prity annoyances which would probably have been lauglied at by him under other circumstances, having in his possession ready for use a weapon, and somewhat imbued with the contempt to common among sonte for, the value of native human life, in a moment of passion fired the fatal shot. This does not lesson his responsi bility toward the law nor the obligation of this Court to punish him according to law. It is the belief of this Court, however, and we desire to put that belief on record, that the accused though guilty of murder is not of that chameter which deliberately, cruelly and urged by vicious instincts premeditated and with fixed purpose, plans a crime.

qualities and diplomacy upon the part of Admirals, who have successfully accomplished what the Cabinets of Europe hail been linable to do, I have sometimes, thought that if the Cabinets were all dismissed and Admirals were installed in their places Europe would get along better."
Turning to the crisis with France the Premier remarked We have had quite recently to consider whether the question of a Eurpean war was not very near. But, with great interest and consideration, the result bas turned out happily, through the great judgment and common sense displayed by France under circumstances, of mustal difficulty, which, I think have relieved Europe of a very dangerous and threatening storm."
While matters were th suspense the Government was necessarily force to take precautions that it should not be taken un. awares. These precautions were most protipt and effective, but the immediate necessity for them has passed off. There has been seine surprise on both sides of the Channel at the fact that these preparations have not suddenly ceased. But it is impossible to stop then at monent's notice."

Referring again to the war preparations and asking his hearers to look at the state of the world, Lord Salisbury observed: "The Czar has invited a congress to provide for the disar- mament of the word, but while we offer our heartiest tribue to his motives and are willing to assist and sympathize in every way until the happy day when bis aspirations are crowned with success, we must still provide precautions needful to counteract the dangers surrounding us.

DEVELOPMENT OF SHANTUNG.
It is repeated that the negotiations pending for some time between the various Syndicates formed in Germany for the development of Shantung, notably between that of the Deutsch- Asiatische Bank and of Messrs. Carlowitz & Co., the liter of which had already completed a rough survey of the proposed railway from Tientsin to Chinantu and Tichon, and had also acquired extensive coal-lands and commenced Boling operations, have been brought to a head and that a general amalgamation of interests has been ranged for Railway construction work with probably be commenced at once, and it is to be hoped that an era of prosperity will be inaugurated in Shamung by which all comers in whatever nationality they may be long who care to put their shoulder to the wheel will benefit alike, most of all, however, the natives of the province themselves amongst. whom large sumns will in the natural course of events have to be expended, during the next

Vice Consul in chunge at Ganion, and John Goodnow, US Consul General for China, assisting by order of the Department of State, U.S.44 both acting judicially find Richard Toulmin, a citizen of the U.S.A., guilty of murder, by wilfully, unlawfully and maliciously shooting at Cheng Lei San, a subject of His Majesty the Emperor of China, on the 7th day of July; A.D., 1898, on the steamship Dering, flying the American flag, on the West River, in the Pro- vince of Kwangsi, in the Empire of China in the Admiralty and Maritime jurisdiction of the U, S., and out of the jurisdiction of any part; cular State, of which shooting said Cheng Lei San died on July 7, 1898, at said above-des- cribed place without capital punishment-the punishment whereof is imprisonment at hard
