A serious fire occurred in East Hanbury Road last night, which unfortunately was attended with serious accident, reports the N. C. D. News of 3rd lost. & pony was burnt to dentb, and foreman A. B. Fenton, of Hoogkew, was seriously burnt about the face and hands, his `injuries necessitating his removal to the hospi- tal for medical attention. Between forty and fifty shops and bouses were destroyed before the fire was got under control.
conformity with the usage followed by civilized nations in similar cases, an additional clause having io view this object, was attached to the main provision of the article recogniz ing Portogal's position in South 'China' as legitimate.

Do the contrary, it is clear that the delimitation springs from the recognition. Nor does
