The Illness of the Pope.
LONDON, 7th July, Extreme unction has been administered to the Pope.
President Loubet in England. At a banquet at Buckingham Palace, the King in toasting President Loubet said that the reception given by all classes of the population showed their really friendly senti. ments towards France, which as the nearest connity to England, should be her best neighbour. President Loubet in réply said he was certain that the King's visit to France would have the happiest effects and serve to tighten the relations of the two nations thus guaranteeing the peice of the world.
The papers dwell on the spowaneity and warmth of yesterday's demonstrations as a proof of the real interest for France and the French which has never died out in Great Britain.

THE STRANDING, OF THE » SUMNER!"
BOW LOW IN WATER.
The U. S. A. T, Sumner ran on a reef off
the coast of Ambos Camarines some time dur ing the furth of July and she now lies opposite the puebl of Man with several large bales
in her bottom. Three of the bow compari-
ments are filled with water and while there is no danger of her sinking, it will be necessary for the vessel to be convoyed back to Manila,
and possibly towed with the assistance of her own steam. The transport is bow-low in the water.
Reports as to how the acident occurred are as yet meagre, says the Cableveses, but enough is known to warrant the statement that the transport must be taken to Hongkong and be repaired there in the drydocks before she can make her trip to New York. This will be at
least two months and possibly three. Major General George W. Davis and party, with many tier prominent military officers werescheduled

There is a bare possibility that the S3 ridan, now en route from San Francisco, may make the trip instead of the Summer, but anything that is said about the proposed voyage is at this time mere speculation.

THE MCEWEN CASE.
DEFENTIAN'T COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
At the Magistracy this afternoon the bearing was resumed, before Mr. J 11. Kemp, of the charges against R. G., McEwen, Inspector of Markels, of accepting bribes to influence his conduct as a public servant.
Mr. F. B. L. Bowley pr. secuted on behalf of the Crown, Mr. M. W. Slade defended, and Mr. 1. Piper appeared on behalf of the poultry grill and of each witness called for the pro secution from that guild.
+
Chief Nelective I spector J. W. Hanson déposed to taking the statement of the defen- dant and reading the charge to him.
This closed the case for the prosecution, and defendant, who reservert his defence, was com mitted for trial at the next Criminal Sessions,
The 4th Infantry which arrived in the Philip- pines on the Logar, was transhipped in Manila Hay to the Summer and she went south a few days ago to distribute the companies at v. rious stations in that part of Luzon. She had put Buops off at sevend places and was en route to Atimonan te drop Companies K and L, when she ran on the reel. The accident is believed 10 have occurred off Mauban or Daet, Ap- parently the accident occurred at partially low tide, because when high tide came in the re-sel floated off the reef without incident further than the fifting of the compartments where the immense steel plues had been punctured, and the settling of the vessel's bow. She now lies with her stern high in the air.
After its call at Atimonan the transport should have called at Daci and there put off Com patiesi and M for that station and Companies A, B and C (or Nueva Caceres, the capital city of Ambos Camarines, together with the head. quarters, field staf and band of the regiment.

Forg days, sig though it will not affect very much the question from Hongkong the rate is unchanged. of bringing about a fixed rate between the price of silver currency and gold. Therefore the starting of a Government Bank may be left to some later period after the establish- ment of the present all-important matter. It is not a questi m which must be started before it. However, the various Powers all h ve Gov ernment lauks and have obtained benefits from their establishment, especially Great Britain.

Mr. Slade could not see why persistent applications on the part of the Crewn should be made for an increase of bail. His Worship had already, on two occasions, when the case was, no stranger than at the present time, decided that bait of $500 was sufficient, and it was inconceivable in a case such as the present that a man with 13 years' service should not attend his trial. If the $500 was sufficient to bring him up twice before the Court surely it would be sufficient to. hàng: him before the Supreme Court, and particularly as he had not contested the case.

The bun dreds of trades are disastrously affected by the present state of the currency while the Govern- meat having to pay is foreign debts in gold, both country and people are being plunged into the depths of financial distress, The con- dations pictured in the foregoing therefore compel one to seek some plan whereby they may be ameliorated, and so make it that China, while still using a silver currency, shali so fix a uniform exchange between silver and gold that there may be no danger of uncertain Juctuations.
