RRFOSING HIKE.
Mr..F. J, Baddeley, Deputy Superintendent of Police, charged a ricksha coolie with refus ing to accept him as a fare. Evidence having been taken, Mr. Kemp fined Defendant $5 or fourteen days. 11 is apparently much worse to refuse to carry a Deputy Superintendant of „Police than an ordinary member of the public. You may refuse to take the latter, and call him
"fat devil" as well, for far less than $5.

À COSTLY WASHI, Li Cheung, a coolie, had a wash at a street fountain and left the tap running, Chinese Constable Kwan Kit swooped down upon him and haled him before Mr. Hazeland, who thought the water wasted worth a couple of dollars or 8 days. Li Chose the latter..
Query-Did it turn off the tap hihself or leave it running? Kits, and other felines, usu alty show an aversion to water.

PUBLIC BATHS.
At to-day's meeting of the Sanitary Board the following minute from H. E. the Governor was laid on the table :-
I am satisfied that among possible preven- tions to disease, public baths are of great and pressing importance. I have directed the Ag. D. P. W. to erect matshed public baths in various parts of the City, and I think they are equally necessary at Hunghein and Yau-ma-ti. Here the people should have an opportunity of washing themselves with hot water. Request the D. F. W. to give an estimate that a Financial Minute may be prepared. I have no doubt that the Finance Committee will approve, but the matter is pressing. Send to the Sanitary Board for their information.
THE CABINET ORISIS
IN JAPAN.
Marquises Yamagata and Saigo and Counts Inouye and Matsugata held a meeting in the Imperial Palace after the banquet given on Sunday last and discussed the Cabinet difficut ties, says the Webe Herald of the 7th inst. It is reported that they agreed to persuado Mar- quia Itu to remain in the Cabinet and to with- draw his resignation. Marquis Yamagata has no intention of undertaking the formation of a new Cabinet. Count Matsukata, who is busy preparing for a trip abroad, was at Kamakura when the crisis developed and only repaired to Tokio to present his congratulations to the young Prince on the 3rd. He returned to. his villa this morning. Marquis Saigo is reported to be quite indifferent and Count Inouye cannot take a leading hand in the settle ment of affairs. Margus Saionji, the only other possible premier, is not strong enough to undertake the formation of a Cabinet. In view of all this it is well within the bounds of possibility that Marquis Ito will have to resame office. fine repert has it that Marquis Ito will induce Marquis Saionji to forma new Cabinet, made up for the most part of the members of the last Ministry, with the exception of Viscount Watanabe- of course. If this plan succeeds, Marquis Saionji will resign after a short time, on account of declining health, and yield the reins to. Marquis to again. Of course in that case the Cabinet will still be in the hands of the Stayukai.

It is an exaggeration to say that the condition of the money market in Kioto on the 6th inst. was one of panic. The Aoto and Kioto Shoko Banks were rushed in the murning by de-aged calves. positors, but the other banks were not bothered much in the forenoon. But the trouble extended in the afternoon on its becoming known that the Aoto and Kawahigashi Banks had suspended payment, and rushes were made on all the banks in the city. The Shoko Bank fared worst and the Kawahigashi Ginko, which

The Directors of the Shoko Bank, who had been aware that the failure of the Kansei Trading Co. was inevitable, were prepared for a rush, The office doors were opened at 7 yesterday morning, by which time a crowd of creditors had assembled demanding payment of their deposits. The bank has a savings department in fligashi Dori where 600,000 yen had been got ready to meet demands. The total amount paid out yesterday was yen 400,000 at the main office and yen 170,000 or thereabout at the sapings-department, Mr. Tanaka Gentaro is President of the Bank and Mr. Nishimura Nibei, Vice President. The total liability of the main office is yen 2,200,000, according to the latest returns. Mr. Nishimura Nihei is President of the savings department, which has a capital of one million yen and a total liability of yen 200,000 or approximately, Although, as has beediestioned, the Shoko Bank was ready to meet the rush, the calls of depositors yesterday are believed to have been so heavy that the bank is near the end of its resources. The Kioto Bankers' Union will not afford the bank any assistance, as previously reported, and the Directors will have to apply to the Bank of Japan. Some of the Directors of the bank are reported to be very well off and the Bank of Japan will not refuse assistance if guaranteed by these men.
The total amount of advances made by the Kiota Branch of the Banks of Japan was yeri 3.501,895 at the end of the last week. This was run up by yen 401,650 yesterday.
ROBBERY AT BANGKOK. On the 1st inst at Bangkok, says the Times, a daring robbery of a large sum of money was successfully perpetrated by day in the open street Mr. A Mulier, the accountant of the Locomotive and Workshops service, had been sent by Mr. Galland to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank to draw the pay of the employes in that section. He received some 6,000 odd ticals-200 odd ticals 'in silver, and the balance in five and ten tical bank-notes, Mr. Muller carried the big bundle of notes in his own hands, and a coolie by his side carried the silver in a bag. They were just en- tering the railway compound, from Hua Lampong-road, when a nakleng suddenly rush ed past and snatched the bundle of notes from The coolie promptly dropped his bag of money at Mr. Muller's feet, and bolted after the thief, who thereupon turned on him with a knife. Then, when the coolie would still have persisted in following, two other naklengs, confederates of the first, ap peared and headed him off till the thief had disappeared, when they quickly followed his example. The whole affair was over in a very few minutes. The robbery had evidently been carefully planned the little gang knew that these men were expected with the money and waited for them."
