F. C. Jenkin (for the defence) Minister, has arrived here on a at the continued hearing this morning of the case in which two Chinese, Loo Kwong-lam and Loo Kwong-hin, claim for the an-. nulment of a mortgage for $100,000 on the grounds that they were "infants" at the date i of its execution.

Mr. Jenkin dealt at consider- able length with the question of the "release as to the signa- ture of which the plaintiffs had stated they had no recollection. In the "release, the trustees. stated clearly 'the names of the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th sons as different from the names of other beneficiaries in that they! were not of age (in the case of three) and absent in America | (in the case of another).

Mr. Jenkin claimed (quoting from law books) that he was not obliged to point to one specific instance of deliberate fraud but stated that so long as he could prove that the general impression three days' visit to the King and was misleading, then that was Queen.

Coast-Guard Men's Fine Rescues.

CONVICTS AS HEROES.

New Orleans, May 16. The rich sugar districts of Louisiana west of the Mississippi have now been flooded.

Only one section of the lower Mississippi is intact along both banks, namely a 150-mile stretchi from the Red River to New Orleans,

The present catastrophe sur- passes anything recorded.

The coast-guard men were won- derful. Yesterday they rescued 1,300 people from crumbling levees and floating house-tops.

Convicta are working day and night without guards in danger- ous spots.

They have established their own sentinel system to prevent the black-sheep breaking away.

Only one escaped, a negro serving a life sentence for murder.

He, however, returned, the next day ashamed and asked for a shovel.

He has been working like a Trojan ever since.-Reuter's American Service.

His Lordship said he thought they had better leave out the second mortgage for the purposes of the case, and referred to the question as to whether the mort-| gage was prejudicial to the plain- tiffs, as they alleged inasmuch as to whether they had the right, if they were sued for the whole other amount, to bring the brothers into the action, or to re- cover after execution.
