AN inquest was held yesterday at the Prison Offices, before Mr. Hazeland, upon the body of Yu On, who committed suicide by hanging, whilst pending an order of extradition for armed, robbery in Chinese Territory. The verdict was in accordance with medical evidence," which proved death to be due to hanging. This after noon an inquest was held on the body of a coolie who died in gaol this morning. He was under a term of imprisonment for unlawful possession of opium. A Verdict of natural 'causes was returned.
THE Straits Timer has noted that Mr. W. T.
Stead, in the February Review of Reviews has stually omitted to use the personal pronoun, first person singular, for two entire paragraphs, This is indeed singular, or perhaps we should rather say unsteady journalism, for a papet which is popularly supposed to keep several whole cases of the egotistical letter. Our lapse is fully made up in the rest of the review, contemporary points out, however, that this in fact the "i's have it," as they say in the House.
