The case in which a Chinesa was charged with the theft of 3,000 guildars from a Chinese passenger on board the Dutchi steamer Tipadan was to have been heard before Mr. R.O. Hutchison this morning. The thaft was committed outside Gap Rock which marks the Hmit of the territorial waters of the Colony, but as the money was taken back fram the alleged thief by the Chief Officer just before the vessel passed this mark, the Palice
not were optimistic of a successful prosecu- tion of the case.
As we reported in our issue of Saturday, ive now passenger boats have been allocated to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company by the United States Shipping| Board for operation on the San- Francisco-Hongkong run. The
eal Agency has received n'cable to this effect. The names of the veasels are not yet given, but it is! announced they are of the 535 feet type. With these steamers it is expected that a fortightly schedule will be maintained. The Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela will then be transferred to the South American run. The new service will probably start in December.
