Shortly after eight o'clock last. night the premises of Messrs. Komor and Komorart, and curio dealers in Des Toeux Road, were the scene of what appears to have been a deliberate attempt at burglary by two men dressed in sailor unifarm who covered their design by pretending drunken- ne-until a police whistle was blown, when they promptly took to their heels, according to the watchman who first noticed their unusual movements. The watchman asserts that both men were Europeans but he is doubtful if he could identify them, owing to the speed with which they made off, ssid Mr. Komar interviewed by a China Mail reporter this morning. The men when first observed by the watchman | sected to be clambering up the iron sliding gate which protects the glass doors at the top of the four steps leading from the pavement up to the floor level Mr. Komor discounts the idea of a drunken prank is the iron: grille had been tampered with to such an extent that this morning when his son arrived at the shop to open it one portion of the iron gate fell into the street and another crashed through a ermore, he boils that deliberate intention would be necessary before the four steps leading up to the shop would be chubed. In addition the statement by the watchman is said to sober, were too intersted in the lock. which was placed in a not easily accessible spot in the top left hand corner of the iron gate. Mr. Komor holds the interesting opinion that most of the big burglaries in Hongkong are not the work of Chinese but of a capable European gang who operate. not in the quiet watches of the night when their suspicious movements wonk more readily attract attention, but round about the hour of eight o'clock people are at the evening meal and the watchmen have not yet come on duty He is of the opinion that the only re- medy is to organise regular beats by watchmen or police constables in the more important streets, on similar lines to those at Home, from the time

A Berlin telegram states that the former German South Sea commer- cial undertakings are preparing to resume activity on a great scale. Their plans comprise fasions, increase of capital, and an invocation of American help. One fusion already formed between two leading concerns is that of the Jaluit company of Hamburg and the German trade and plantations company of the South Sea islands which has formed a new company called the Trade and Colonisation Company Limited, behind which stand the big banks and several important merchants of the Hanse cities. The Jaluit company formerly operated in the Marschall and Caroline islands and bad valuable phosphates rights on Nauru. The trade and plantations company operated in Samoa.

HUNGARY'S GROWN.

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR'S SURPRISING ACTION.

LONDON, March 30;

The greatest astonishment has been caused by the sudden arrival of the Austrian Emperor Karl in Hungary of which it is rumoured he intends to assume the Crown. Well-informed circles in Paris and Rome are foclined to discredit the reports, but details of the journey are given both from Vienna and Budapest showing that Karl, disguised, reached the Austro Hungarian frontier on Saturday. The Hungarian Premier Teleki who was summoned urged the Emperor" not to carry out his intentions." Karl how ever proceeded to Budapest and saw the Regent Hortby who advised him to return to Switzerland, Karl declined to leave the comtry and is at present staying at Steicamanger.

The genial Lt Col Eden Turner who suggested that all British officials in India should wear uniform accor- ding to their office, was evidently moved to his suggestion by the characteristics inherent in his first name, says the "Topicist" in the Singapore Free Press. But there is something in the idea after all and life would be much gayer if H. E. for instance always wore a nice white suit with scarlet frogs, if the "Sekken Gubertier" turned out to duty in a red edged jacket and blue striped trousers.

We could picture the cheery F.C.M.O, in a pleasant fantasy of skills and crossbones, and the Chief of the P.W.D. might attend Council in a collarless shirt and Belcher, with his trousers secured by red tape just below the knee. With the Treasurer arrayed in Chetty garb the uncovered portions being dis creetly stained and the First Magistrate tactfully attired in an S.CC. jersey, we should find the dull monotony of Singapore life consider ably eased, whilst amongst the Un- officials the most bonourable of them might perhaps choose the Cap and Bells, and shake a saucy head when the Official Majority sat murchance what time important departmental matters were under discussion.

The trial was resumed in his absence, and then the Prince unex- pectedly appeared in Court and was placed in the dock.
