OUICROP OF RUMOURS,
There were all sorts and manner of rum. ours ahout town to-day, but little reliance was placed in them. In the first place it was said that the Admiral had received a cable announc ing the fall of Fort Arthur, while the Hong- kong and Chartered Banks were said to have had similar news. Then some ope said that the Glory had received orders to proceed to Weihaswel within twelve hours, and that cer- tais firms were in receipt of news announcing the arrival of advance vessels of the Baltic Fleet at an island in the neighbourhood of Singapore. It was further asserted that number of persons left Hongkong by the French mail to do business with the Baltic Fleet on arrival at Colombo, and so ad infinitum.

There is, perhaps, room for opinion as to the methods adopted by Mr. Shewan in his all- round attack in the Legislative Council of Hongkong on Government and its ways. An occasional stir up in official circles does no harın, as old timers will remember, was the case when Mr. Phineas Ryrie, "the Rupert of Debate," took the floor. But whilst this is advisable, the manner of Mr. Shewan's Ire marks will probably not commend themselves to a majority of the community. Criticism is good, but there is criticism and criticism. It must verforce come from the unofficial side, for the official element in Crown Colony Govern ment is too frequently only a voting body for official schemes. If the criticism is honest it will have a considerable effect, and we are glad to see that Mr. Shewan spoke out, though the manner and method are not to be wholly com mended. Unfortunately, "also, the strictures refer to a past state more than to the present or future, and the new Governor, whose honest Mr. H. H. J.

This month's "Army Orders"! contain parti-

Candidates who fail to pass on this occasion (or who gain less than 50 per cent, of the marks allotted) will be required to rejoin their units. Those who succeed, however, will be subjected to a second examination at the end of twelve months' residence, and to a third when the second year is completed.

THE CREW OF THE
"AGINCOURT."
IMPORTANT DECISION.
An important decision in the case of seamen a vessel whose cargo was contraband of war was given at the Guildball. Mr. Tom Lloyd, trading as T., Lloyd and Co., shipowners, of Leadenhall-st., appeared in auswer to an adjourned summons at the in stance of several stamen of the s.5. Agincouri, who claimed wages.
The men signed articles for a voyage on the Agincourt from Barry Dock to Hongkong, via the Cape. They had a cargo of Welsh coal, At Singapore it was announced that, instead of Hongkong, they were to sail for Nagasaki, Japanese port. They objected, knowing that their cargo was continband, and having seen in the newspapers that mines were floating about.
WITH A CHINESE CREW.
a
By common consent they went before the shipping master to inquire as to their position; and it was decided that they should remain behind, and the Agincourt sailed with a Chin-
ese crew.
The Portuguese battleship Vasco de Gama is also in dock, undergoing her periodical cleaning. She entered the dock yesterday and will be at sea again in a few days at the latest. One of the scam launches from the German flagship Fürst Dismarck is being repaired on a ship at Kowloon, the work, it is averted, being of a trifling, if necessary, character.

He was last seco alive at half-past twelve on Saturday afternoon, and was afterwards picked up floating near the place where it is supposed that he fell over- board.
