THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1901.
DEATH OF CAPTAIN G. F. SACHSE.
THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS win, says a' correspondent, according to present arrange- ments, be issued early in the new year. The
Another old, respected resident of Hongkong halfpenny stamps will be green, as hitherto ; in the penny stamps a dull crimson will be sub-passed away on Sunday morning at 3.30 in the stituted for the existing mauve colour; and this may also be used for stamps of higher value, the design of which has not yet received the King's approval.
THE PRIMROSE LEAGUE-Lord Salis. bury, replying to a resolution of confidence and sympathy by the Milner Habitation of the Primrose Leagus at York, says "We are much indebted to the Milner Habitation for the very kind and encouraging resolution, and-f thank you heartily for the vote in which you have forwarded it. We need such encourage- ment, for England is, I believe, the only country in which during a great war eminent men write and speak publicly as if they belonged to the enemy."
INTERNATIONAL AMENITIES:-A Brussels paper states that the Dutch boat. Nec 149. of Ymuiden, after having pretended to be in distress off the Wielingen Lightship, in the North Sea, approached the Ramsgate smack No. 124. Thirteen fishermen from the Dutch boat boarded the English craft and attacked the crew, at the same time shouting."Long live the Boers". Several of the Ramsgate men were seriously wounded. Before making the attack the Dutch sailors' shut up: their captain in his cabin. The Ramsgate boat succeeded in getting away, and has arrived at. Östend, where the wounded have lodged a complaint at the British Consulate.
WINTRY WEATHER: -At the end of last weeks, says a mail paper, the weather was most winterly, and as many as 16 degrees of flost were registered. Dense fog covered Lon, don on 16th inst, and was instrumental in causing the collision of two passenger trains between Clapham and Brixton Stations, on the South-Eastern and Chatham lines. "Sixteen persons were injured in this accident, but only four of thein sufficiently seriously to necessitate their removal to hospital. Four lives were lost in Staffordshire nwing to persons walking into the canal in the fog; and at Liverpool two vessels were sunk as the result of collisions. The fog has cleared off, and the weather is warmer again.
A SKYSCRAPER; Au English-American Syndicate has applied to the London County Council for a goy years' lease of a site on the
north side of the Strand, bet cen the two points at which the new street from Holborn will debonch on the Simni, on which to errech an office building on American lines, at an estimated cost of Cannon, The building will be seven storeys in height-a portion of it rising three storeys higher-will have a front- age of 750 feet, and will contain more than 600 rooms It will be equipped with every modern convenience. One of its special features will be a spáciens rotunda, under a lofty dome, in the centre of the buildi ing, intended to form a general rendervous
THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS-An elebgrate report has been issued by the Colonial Office in relation to the concentration camps. which, it shows, are now thoroughly organised and supplied with adequate food. The settle. ments are under a military governor. One of the greatest difficulties that our officials have to
contend with is the insanitary habits of the Boers, who resort to "re" medies of the most disgusting character, some of them necessarily fatal to young children. There is a belief among the inmates of the settlements that in hospital they would be starved. This delusion has no foundation than the usual course of prescription for enteric patients. Happily such prejudices are being overcome, and in many of the camps the people are content. and frankly confess that they were never batter treated in their lives than they now are.

Bunsuke Hamaguchi, a Japanese eating
house keeper of 13, Ship Street, on the 8th inst, visited some of his lady friends at 19,Ship
Street, and proceeded to assault the women in the house, and break up the furniture.to.the best of his ability. He left the house and half an hour afterward returned to what he thought was the same house, but the saki he had im biber evidently had mounted to his head and he wandered into number 9 instead of 19. See ing the furniture still intact he imagined that he had not been thorough in his work of destru tion and attempted to make a complete wreck of it this time. As it does not cost very much to furnish a Japanese dwelling in Ship St., the Magistrate assessed him $10 for damage to number 19 and a like sum for mistaking the number and doing Ilkewise in number 9. 55, to the owner of number 1g and $8, to the proprietor

USED HIS RAZOR.
Wong Wa, a barber, was plying his trade in the basement of the Hongkong Club-a few days sicce, when one of the coolics employed by the Club was an applicant for a shave. Either the barber was very slow or the coolle very impatient, because in the argument that ensued the coolie-received severe cut in the thigh from the barbers' razor, which occasioned his temporary retirement to the Hospital. The Magistrale thought three months was about the time necessary for needed reflection on the part of Wong Wa and be now is taking a much needed rest in the Gaol,

ORICKET.
ARMY .. NAVY,
This match was played on Saturday on the Club Cricket Ground. The Navy won the toss and started with Digby and Moore nearly an hour late. Preedy was well on the wicket, and through his efforts two wickets fell for 19 runs. Franklin and Mahon made a good stand and put on 48 and 65 for the fifth and sixth wickets. These, batsmen were the only two who shaped well, Frankin especially being very strong behind the wickets both in cuts and leg hits. Preedy tack 6 wickets for 68 runs and the Navy's innings closed for 204.
The Army only made 161 and so lost the march. This result was no doubt due to the same finishing practically in the dark and making Franklin's high pitched balls quite invisible to the batsmen.
The following were the scores

FOOTBALL.
RUGBY.
1. K. F. C. v, NAVY. This match was played on Saturday on the Hongkong Football Club ground before His Excellency Sir Henry A. Blake and a large attendance of spectators. The Club's defence was considerably strengthened by Danby and Jordan, who did not play in the first match between these teams, and Rutherford made way for Goldring in the forward line; Burke played half-back with Tordan and Knox played back.
McMurtrie, having lost toss, kicked off for the Club from the Eastern end soon after the ap pointed time. Open play followed and it was at once seen that the Club's defence was far better than in the previous match. The passing among the forwards too, was excellent, and in the scrum they had quite the advantage Over their opponents. About fifteen minutes from the start, by some good combination, Jordan got in right between the posts. Mc Munrie took the kick, but for some unaccount 18 able reason failed to convert. Half time was 55 called without further score.

run to the Club's twenty-five. A try seemed imminent, but he was nicely collared by Knox and a scrum resulted. The Club failed to get the ball away and from a series of scrums near the home goal Sherbrooke got in for the Navy. Gibbs took the kick and, although the angle was fairly easy, failed to convert. The score now stood even and some fast play ensued. Danby secured a free kick, but a bye resulted. Just on time Sandford nearly got in from a scrum dear the visitors' goal and time was eventually called leaving the match a drawa game.
For the Club Danby distinguished himself at three-quarters and was undoubtedly the fastest man, in the home team, Jordans played a good game at half, at which place he is of great value to the Club. Knox plays a far better game at half than at pack. The for wards, as usual, all worked well and were better than the Naval pack, their weight more than w. compensating for the cleverness of their
opponents..

For the Navy Sherbrooke distinguished him. self at three-quarters, kicking and tackling with
great vigour. Cossey should have been pulled up by the referee for being offside many times. He has a nasty habit too, of putting the ball in the scrum with a twist, which is rather an un: sportsmanlike action.
