>The Captain Superintendent of Police, on the morning of the 7th inst., had reported to him by an officer at the Royal Engineers MEGA, In Queen's Gardens, that his servant had absconded and that a watch and chain and 12 were missing from the officer's room. The Superintendent heard that the servant had gone to Macao, and he immediately wired to the authorities there a description of the servant and also of the watch and chain.
Several of the servants employed by other offers living at the mess were cross-examined at some length by Capt. May..!
There is an application under the treaty of Portugal with Great Britain for the extradi- tips of the servant. The case is adjourned pending enquiries.

The British garrison at Hoopstad, a town in the Orange River Colony, has been in' a mest perilous position for some time past. The Boers isolated the garrison, which had to be placed on very short rations as a consequence. A force under Lord. Erroll, however, succeeded in relieving the beleaguered garrison, which was withdrawn, and the fortifications destroyed to prevent the enemy waking use of them.

Mr. Whitehead is an earnest advocate of the open door policy" for which this government claims credit in the Celestial kingdom. Should there be no further partition of territory of China," said he in reference to trade prospects there, and if it is still possible to keep the door wide open to the world's trade on squal terms, British commercial interests in the Far East might be regarded as still in their Infancy as compared with the dimensions e. they may reasonably be expected to assume 600,000.00 in the next decade.
