J. A. ISAACS'S BOWLS UNCHANGED THROUGH BOTH INNINGS.

Cricketers generally regretted the rather tame ending this morning to the interport match between Shanghai and Malaya, which the former won by an innings and 45 rups.

As long as Captain F. O'N. Ford remained at the wicket, there was a very remote possibility-or a forlorn hope--that defeat by an innings might be saved.

NO INTENTION OF RESUMING OUR CONTROL IN HANKOW.

Several vital questions appertaining to the British Concession in Tientsin and the ex-British Concession in Hankow were raised in the House of Commons yesterday on the initiative of Mr. H. W. Looker, formerly of Hong Kong,

It was suggested by Mr. Locker that the conclusion of an agree- ment for handing over the municipal administration of the British Concession in Tientsin should be deferred. He also suggested that an effective municipal administration in Hankow should be estab lished in trust for the interests of all concerned: *
