To-day the King pro ceeded with a brilliant procession which bore the Crown Prince in a litter to the Wat Prakeo, where Prince Najirayan and thirty other pro- minent priests were waiting. Thereupon the

When the German mail steamer Prins Sigis mund, from Singapore, via New Guinea, arrived at Brisbane, on 1st ult., a story of shipwreck was told. The ship igburth, one of the Ley land ficct, of Liverpool, was reported to have struck an uncharted reef, not far from German
New Guinea,
The Aigburth was bound from Newcastle (N.S.W.) to Samarang, with a coal cargo. She sailed from the coal port on June 16, with carly 3,000 tons under batches, and from all accounts the captain, after clearing Nobbys,
however, appear to have prevented this, and the
It is doubtful whether an explanation of the dreadful. accident will ever be forthcoming but it was probably caused by the introduction of a naked light into the magazine, or the smoking of a cigaretie by some lounging sailor in the same dangerous neighbourhood.

Disastrous Fire.
Bangkok, 22nd August. A disastrous fire occurred last evening at half past six in the latest erected rice mill owned by the Kim Seng Lee Company. The mill had a frontage of 250 feet and covered an area of 50,000 square feet and was equipped with the most up-to-date machinery and an electrical plant. It was formerly opened by the Crown Prince on the 19th instant. It was not working during the night time. The fire resulted in complete devastation including of thousands of piculs of paddi. The origin of the fire is unknown but it is suspected to be a case of incendiarism. The loss of the mill is estimated at Tcs. 320,000, one-third only being covered by insurance, and the damage to the paddi is estimated at TES. 80,000, uninsured. H.

PRIVILEGES OF A WIFE.
MAY BEAT HER HUSBAND, AND SELL
THE HOME.
A sort of matrimonial catechism, (says the Daily Chronicle) expounding the remarkable privileges that a modern wife may exercise without giving her long-suffering husband an excuse for legally getting rid of her, was heard at the Marylebone Police Court the other day.
"I want a separation order from my wife," announced a working man of sturdy appear
ance.
"On what ground?" inquired Mr. Plowden, "Weedington-road," said the other, mis understanding.
W
"I don't mean on what land, but for what reason," remarked the magistrate.
*Because I don't earn enough money; she wants more than 1 can afford to pay her." "That is not a reason for separation."
"She knocks ine about with her umbrella," "That is not a reason for a separation." "She sells my home."-"That is not a rea- son for a separation,"
"She annoys me at my work." That is not
a reason."
"She pawn's my things."-"No and that is not a reason. You see how tight the link is."
The husband hesitated, scratched his bead perplexedly, and said, "Well, I want a separa- tion somehow."
"No doubt," agreed Mr. Plowden. "But we will begin at the very beginning, and we will try the effect of a caution. You see you are just beginning to understand what matrimony is."

"ON HIS HONOUR,"
in a Consular report on the trade of Port Said and Suez, just issued by the Foreign Office, there is an instructive account of the doings of the Russian cruiser Dmitri Donskoi fast March, which reflects upon the honour of her captain. The Dmitri Donskoi had been allowed to remain for repairs at Suez till March He had signed a declaration stating that, having been ordered to return as quickly as possible to Cronstadt, he was going direct to Cadiz, and required 500 tons of coal in order to proceed at full-speed,
as far as New Guinea, and there an attempt was made to negotiate the channel between
New Guinea and Rooke Island, but the Aigburth was caught in a strong southerly current. Du July to the lookout reported "shoal water ahead," and before the ship could answer the helm she grounded. Ahead there were three fathoms of water, seven fathoms amidship, and deep water-over too fathoms aft. All sail was clewed up, and every effort made to get the ship clear. When she was coming off, an anchor wire carried away, caus ing her to swing stern on to the reef. The boats were then got ready and provisioned, and as the ship was taking in water rather rapidly the crew would not remain in her until the next morning. Four boats, left the ship, with instructions to keep together, and to steer west by south for the New Guinea mainland.

The Milwaukee is a sister ship of the St. Louis and of the new Charleston, the latter named after the original Charleston, which was lost several years ago in the Philippines. She is what is known as a protected cruiser, and carries no armour, her protection consisting solely of a protective, deflective deck and shields for some of her gons,
These three vessels were authorized by act of Congress, approved June 7, 1900. The Charleston was launched at Newport News, Va, last January, and the St. Louis is now being built at Philadelphia.

"The reason it cannot be found is that it is not on Cocos Island now. It was there once, but was removed from there in the latter part of 1849, and planted on another island in the South Pacific, and I was one of the men who moved it, and the only one living who knows where it is.

A CHINESE VENDEITA.
A murder occurred bere last week under pe- culiar circumstances, writes the Linchengchow correspondent of the N. C. D. News of 13th ult. A young man of 23 saw another man, a distant connection, sitting in a restaurant drink. ing samshu. The young man rushed upon the elder from behind and with a heavy iron washer used in oil mills, dealt blow after blow on his victim until his head was reduced to a pulp. Then be ceased to strike and gave himself up to the officers of the law, who arrested him.
The reason for the murder was simply this, that the murdered min had, eighteen years before, killed the young man's father. At that time being a child be knew nothing of the affair. But years after he was told by his mo- ther and others, and since then for more than a decade has lived only for this one day of vengeance. It was Confucius who said that a son could not live dader the same heaven with the murderer of his father. It is reported that the son has complete evidence, the man he killed was his father's murderer. It is, there fore, confidently expected he will be released. But as the man be killed has a son, whose duty it is to put this young man out of the way, and presumably the young man himself is a father, the question naturally arises when this series of murders is to have an end? Such is one of the fruits to Confucian ethics,
