Between Seoul and Fussu, which are the termini of the railway, it touches many important places. Starting from Seoni, after an interval of 25 miles, the route passes Suwon, an historical place in the China.Japan war. The Chikgan, the famous gold mine worked by Baren Shibesaws and Mr. Soichiro Asano, lies at a distance of 103 miles from Seval along the railway. At Wonsen, next to Chikssa. the railway branches to Kangkyong. This place in notable for the fact that to it reaches the river communication from Gunaan, an open port.

MURDEROUS PIRACY NEAR SINGAPORE.
The Straits Timce gives details of a murderous piratical outrage, within the waters of Singapore, against, a Chiness junk that left the port for Siak on the 22nd ult, with general
a crew of six Chinese. It cargo and appears that when of Karimon Island the junk was becalmed, and anchored in full view of a
Malay village or kampung. from which four Malays presently put off in a kolek and, asking for some tobacco, they boarded the tongkang. Then, so far as can be learned, the ruftans suddenly drew their krises and attacked the unfortunate Chinamen, cutting them down right and left. They then ransacked the vessel and, after cutting her anchor ropa, made off with all they could lay their hands on.
Information of the horrible crime, says the
Times, was first brought to Singapore by the master of the steamer Glanggi, who reported at the Master Attendant's office at 3 o'clock en Saturday night that he had towed a tough tag from Sulton Shoal to Singapore harbour with only one man in it out of a crew of six. The other five, the master alleged, had been killed and thrown overboard.
The police were informed and Inspector

The Karimon route lies about 56 miles south- west of Singapore and is in Datch territory. Three or four piracies bare been committed this year in the neighbourhood of the Singapore harbour, but they were on a small scale and were not attended with such great loss of life as this one, which claimed fire victims. This is undoubtedly the worst case that has occurred DUNVILLE'S Y. R... in Singapors for the last ten years. This der ing case of piracy has probably been committed by the same gang who committed the previous smaller ones, but who have now grown bolder.

After his arrival at San Francisco on the D. C. L.... 25th April, Mr. Conger was naturally sought HIGHLANU CLUD... out by American press-men. The U.S. Minis-DEWAR'S White Label for reiterated many of the views expressed by him in China and Japan on his way home. He said:
"All kinds of exaggerated tales have come out of China since the Boxer trouble. The tales of barbarie and brutality by a licentious soldiery that wore cabled all over time world were more fiction than truth. I have no doubt that a great deal of brutality was practiced by individual seldiers. You must remember that the Boxers had killed 40,000
000 Christian Chinese and over 1 Americans and Euro. poans; and when the allied forces reached Paking, where women and children besieged by a howling mob of Chinese intent on murder, they probably did not take the trouble to discover whether every Chinese they met had a gan, or whether every house
wers
village gave shelter to Boxers. A great deal of brutality was practiced which would not be countenanced by civilised people, but I om satisfied that in all such instances the lawlessness was not sanctioned by the offleurs.
"A story was published in Kobe that credited American missionaries with an admission that they had done a lot of looting with my knowledge and approval. Now there was no trath in that. The missionaries, to my knowledge, have not looted, and I have not countenanced looting at any time.
"Another exaggerated tale that needs refut- ing is the recently published statement that there is danger of another Boxer upris ng in China. Thero is not the slightest danger of any more trouble from the Boxers, and there is not the remetest prospect that the Govern ment troops will be massed with an idea of giving the allied troops any trouble. Tho Boxers or Goverment troops might get together al cause slight trouble at some one place, but eren this, in my opinion, is highly impro- bable. Peace negotiations are progressing satisfactorily, and I believe order will be restored in China without further friction between any of the parties in interest.
