YOKOHAMA

During the last two or three daya rum. ours have been current in Yokohaman of the arrest at Southampton, England, of Mr. W. Church, for several years book kooper in the caploy of Mesars. Alfred Herbert, Ltil, who has been missing for Yokohams for sovoral wocks, says tho **Japan Guzelta." Being unable to verify the news, we refrained from pub- lishing it, and on Tuesday, on applying to the local offices of Alfred Herbert, for verification, we were informed that the firm were unable to confirm the report From information since reaching us, wo have reason to believe the report of Mr. Church's arrest in England to be correct. though the news reaching Japan does zot make it clear hat it took place at South- ampton.

About a nocna ago Mr. Churchi scoured a wack's leave trom his firm, but naver roturaod. Inquiries were made, and ho was traced to Kobo, but beyond that nothing was known of his movements, Investigations of the firm's accounts were mada, and serious defalcation wire dia Doverod. Some reports place the amount ab Yen 20,000, but it is boligved that this is à conservative statement: When the defalcations were discorimod, it was rus ported that Mr. Church had escaped by way of the Siberian route, and the repert of Kila arrest as this oerly date confirms

those puspicions.

Mr. Church, who is about 557arty years of age, has long been a resident in Japan, being for some years In Hobo before coming to Yokohama about six Fears ago.
