HIGHWAYMEN.
Yesterday afternoon on the Bowen Road here, four then were arrested, and as one of them har been identified by the victim of last Sunday afternoon's highway robbery, Mr. F. Esrom, it is supposed that a bad character has been "nailed"

As regards the working of the | CAPTURE OF THE BOWEN ROAD 1900 Account so far we have reason to be satisfed therewith, the losses paid and in course of settlement comparing favourably. with those for 1899, to a similar date, the balance carried forward, to which will be added further premium since received, is somewhat in excess of last year nud. I can only express the hope that our liabilities on unexpired risks will run off without such a succession of heavy Josses as was the case in 1900, I have pleasura in stating that our Syrveyor's Reports on the various properties under Mortgage to the Com. pany show ample margins over the sums advanced. I shall be glad to answer any questions that any shareholder may care to put.
There being no questions the chairman mored the adoption of the report and state- ment of accounts.

JAPANÈSE v. EUROPEAN GEMENT.
There is same hope of Japanese cement being much in demand at Singapore, where formerly the cement used came exclusively from Europe. Since last year the Yamato Shokai, a Japanese firm in that southern city, has imported 360 casks of the goods made by the Osaka Gement Company, and as the price The circumstances of the capture show is somewhat lower than that of European very clever judúment on the part of two cement, while there is no difference between Sith policemen. It was yesterday afternoon the two in point of quality, the Japanese that the Indian constables saw a Chinese cement is said to enjoy a better chance there. youth on the Bowen Road, who was evidently Already a certain foreign merchant has opened on the strict qui vive to notice anything out negotiations with the Unoda Cement Company, of the ordinary, The officers observed that Yamaguchi-ken, with the object of getting a this youth ran up amongst the trees and they regular supply of the goods. The Japanese were surprised to find that three other China comment merchants must exercise a good deal of men were up amongst the bushes. It looked care in availing themselves of this good opening very much as though the first was on the for their goods, and must, besides contenting lookout to inform bis confederates when a themselves with the minimum profit, pack their likely victim came in sight.

They writes that a dispute has occurred between the ran practically into his arms and he arrested consignee and the consignor as to which party the fot. They were taken to the Central Police should make good this damage. " Station and Mr. Esrom, who had his watch and chain stolen on Sunday afternoon within a short distance of the place whence the cap- ture was made, and who was severely knocked about by the two ruffianly robbers, identified the tallest of the four as one of the two who made the attack on him. The other three were quite youths and they are all four being de. tained in custody of the police."
The man who has been identified will pro bably be charged with highway tobbery with violence, and he can be put away for five years for such an offence, if convicted.
The other three of the captured batch will probably be charged with being rogues and vagabonds, having been found loitering about in a suspicious manner.
These constables deserve praise for the ntan- ner in which they made the capture, and it is to he hoped that an example will be made of this man, that is, provided that he took part in the outrageous allack last Sunday afternoon,
PORT ARTHUR.
THE DALLAS SEASON AT THE THEATRE ROYAL During his stay, which will extend over a period of some three weeks or so, Mr. Dallas promises many a righ treat in both musical and modern comedy. The opening piece billed for Saturday next, "Florodora," has proved an enormous sticcess in London and shows every prospect of running another year yet. "San Toy" which is also running now at Daly's Theatre, is another charming little opera which bids fair to rival or even eclipse The Geisha" (by the same composer) in popularity. "San Toy" will in all probability be Mr. Dallas' second production. Then we are promised that most attractive piece, "The Belle of New York." This of course is not new to Hongkong, but its interpretation by an adult company is certain to be heartily ap preciated." The Gay Parisienne" will be re- membered by many as being the piece in which Miss Louie Freear made such a wonder- ful name. It is one of the smartest. of musical comedies, and Mr. Dallas' produe- tion of it will be looked forward to with much interest. Of course "The Geisha" and "A

The Hatsuse, Japanese, was the last pick up her buoy. The only English ship that had not arrived was the Spiedwell, and there was a doubt as to whether she would reach Spithead in time. The German ships, painted à dead slate colour and burning coal that emitted a dense black smoke, natually attracted a good deal of attention. Prince Henry of Prussia was flying his flag on the But probably the most attractive ship Badin. from the speciators' point of view was the French Dupuy de Lôme, with her low quarter- deck and enormous ram. There were no excursion's round the fleet, but the viewobtained by ordinary passengers, though necessarily limited, afforded considerable interest.

Shortly afterwards the chartered steamer Duchess of Connaught crossed over with the King of the Belgians on board. His Majesty proceeded at once to London, while the Munshi travelled to Windsor, Last night the Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Ports mouth and slept on board the Enchantress, which will convey them to Cowes this morning.

A. attempting to restore order out of chaos would be a difficult one under any circumstances, but it is rondered still more difficult by thie- fact that settlements have not yet taken place in the shares of three of the London and Globe subsidiaries-the Rossland Great Western Mines, the Kootenay Exploration Company and the Loddon Valley Goldfields.

The congested state of aur harbour renders the lot of a master of a ship an unhappy one. We have no consistent method of berthing the steamers that arrive, and this haphazard system results in many casualties more or less serious, As as an example we are informed on good authority that a steamer whilst here on the 8th inst, had a most narrow escape from being ru down by the Volunteer s.s.

ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS could be easily remedied if the harbour was buoyed for the convenience, of the vessels, somewhat after the manner, l'understand, that prevails at Canton. It reads like a portion of a burlesque to say that on one occasion nearly all the vessels in the port had to heave up to clear the fouling of the anchor of one steamer which desired to leave: yet this is true. The anchors and chains sprawf all over the harbour. These remarks refer to the outer harbour. The inner harbour is jealously guarded from any

}.THE EFFIGY OF THE SOVEREIGN.
Some little time is likely to elapse before the effigy of the late Queen-Empress will he re- placed by that of King Edward on either stamps or rupees in India, says the Advocate of India. In the case of the stamps the next consignment from Home, which is expected in April, is likely to be of the new pattern, but the Post Office wisely keep two years' stock in hand to provide against emergency, and the present pattern will therefore continue to be issued until exhausted. One result of the change, when it occurs, will bé to make the new green half-anua siang and the carmine-coloured anna stamp valuable to stamp collectors, since they will have been issued in their present colour, with Queen's head, for only a short period. As regards the currency, the minting of coins bearing the Queen's head will continue until new dies artire from Home. The 1835 issue, which was being coined when her late Majesty came 10 the throne in 1837, continued to be struck until 1840. In the present case, the change is likely to be effected with somewhat greater expedi. tion,
