In advocating, some months ago, the establishment of the line of steamships between this and Hongkong which has since been so successfully inaugurated by the Mitsu Bishi Co., we mentioned two advantages whleb, amongst others, would be likely to accrue to Kobsites.

The whole property is valued at about $1000. Nine watches and $39 are still missing. About half the watches were simply in the hands of the prisoner's em- ployer, the complainant, for repair.

The complainant stated that as the greater number of the watches were the property of his customers and not his own, he was desirous of having the case disposed of us goon as possible.

The case of a Japaness girl for kidnapping whom an old woman was sentenced here the other day is thus fully given by the Diogo News

The Takasago-maru, on her last trip from Hongkong, brought on a Japanese girl of thirteen years, who was forwarded to the care of the authorities of this by Mr Ando, the Japanese Consul at Hongkong, under the following circumstances. Three years ago, when the giri-who is the daughter of a man living lu Yanagiwara, Hiogo-was only tou years of age, she was employed as servant by a Chinamau who lived in tho house of a chair-maker near San-no-miva, receiving one yen a month.

The old wretch seized hold of her, and was about to drag her off into slavery once more, when a policeman opportunely appoured on the scene, and to both off to the station.
