Our contemporary goes on to refer briefly to the history of the company. But we know, and it can be proved, that the Chinese owners of the property wore offered four million dollars for it from Hongkong just before the transfer to the present company and that offer was refused. The idea of the owners was not 10 sell the property, Lut to work with increased capital for the benefit of all concerned, It is a deliberate falsehood to say that the Chinese sold it to the Oriental S.ndicite. It was not sold at all, but was transferred direct to the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company Ld. Messrs. Morcing and Hoover were merely the agents the work. One of the conditions of the deed of Chang Yen-mow to carry out this portion of of July 31st was that 120,000 should be put up by the new company (the C. E. & M. Ch. L.) for working expenses. A telegram was received in February 190: from the Bank of D'Outre Mer, Brussels, saying that the 100,000 had been duly deposited, to the credit of the C H&M. C., Id, in that Bank. In conse quence of that telegram the deed of February 19th, 1904, was signed in Tientsin by the repie sentatives of the old Chinese Company." [ then the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company Ld. could put up 100,000 in February 1991, how was it that the Company did not get the rights from the Oriental Syndicate till May 1991-three months after wards? tu more mysterious still is the undoubted fact that nothing has ever been beard from that day to this of that alleged

PACIFIC MAIL S.S. " SIBERIA"
The Pacific Mail 5.5. Siberia was open for inspection between the hours of two and live this afternoon, when the band of the 33rd Burmas was in attendance on board. 1aunches flying the M, S S. Co.'s house flag con. veyed the visitors off from Blake Pier, running to and from the vessel at intervals of 15 minutes. The Siberia is the largest vessel yer turned out in the States, her tonnage of 11,284 being slightly in excess of the Korea's. The cabins, fittings beds, furniture and baths are all of a new impr. ved pattern and the suites of rooms, consisting of a bed-rom, sitting room, bath room and Ivatory, give travellers far more privacy than they could enjoy in a first class hotel; in fact, a great portion of the vessel seems to be simply cat up into so many houses. In the first saloon dining room the pannelling is laid with beautiful oil paintings, and to convey an idea as to size, it will be sufficient to observe that it extends the whole breadth of the ship and seats over 20 perso5. The music and smoking rooms also are different to the accommodation in this respect scen on other vessels; sents are so broad, the room cheerful, and, at the same time, there is an entire absence of gaudy coloured tiles which give otherwise comfortable roms such a com- mon appearance. Great points in the Siberia's internal adornment lie in its practicability and simplicity. Good polished teak and mahogany, and snow white paintwork surmounting velvet cushioned settecs and lounges, and bright new Brussels carpets on the deck need no adom ment. She has four tiers of beams, three decks, double bottom water ballast tants and is fitted with ten water-tight bulkheads The life-boats, which are carried swing out ready for lowering, are on the boat-deck level, thus leaving the spacious prom nade hurricane deck unimped- ed. There is accommodation on board for 200 first-class passengers, 60 white steerage, 1,200 Chinese steerage and 236 crew. The Siberia and her sister ship the Ko ea are the most stately merchant vessels that have so far visited our South China shares.
QUARANTINE,
The Colonial Secretary informs us that the Government of Indo-China has declared Hongkong to be infected with Bubonic Plague and that the entry of Asiatic immigrants from this port is prohibited until further notice. The importation from Hongkong of grain and see is of all kinds, flour, dry pa te used for food, rags, trinklets, old clothes, bedding already used, and personal effects of Asiatic origin is also prohibited.
TIENTSIN.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
TIENTSIN, April 3rd At last measures are baut to be adopted which may have the effect of in some degree les ening the financial pressure in the City After various meetings and many consultations the foreign banks have agred to accept big native notes providing they are shroffed by the Custonis Taotai and the Sa't Commissioner. The revenue is believed to be and probably is entirely free from previous hyp thecation, and is good enough security for several millions, and the banks are therefore pretty safe in accommodating the native market to this Extent. It is believed that about seven or eight million tnels will suffice to put matters in motion again. Once the ball is set rolling there might be a chance of things. im proving. At present the import trade is entirely at a standstill because the go- downs are filled with long standing orders of which the Chinese are unable to take delivery for hick of silver. Forthe same reason exports except in certain lines have fallen off to an unprecedented extent. By the acceptance of the native notes through their foreign clients several million taels worth of actual silver will be placed in circulation, and provided that it is kept in circulation and is not expor ed
tion will be distinctly elieved, pro tem. But to Shanghai or absorbed in Peking the situa
one cannot bot fear either one of the two above alternatives wil take place. it seems questionable whether Peking has not been largely responsible in the past for the present shortage. Enormous aun's are being spent by the Court and the voice of great groaning is heard in the land over the continual drain of official demands, and what more likely than directly this money is let loose that some of it will be diverted for private Imperial or official ends! The official negotiations are quite concluded but only minor points remain to be seitled now and the measure is practically carried. Trade was so completely blocked that the foreign banks were driven to this arrangement in sheer self- 'efence,
