His Honour the CHIEF JUTICE, chairman of the Committon, in presauting His Excellency with a massive silver bowl, beautifully chased und standing on a blackwood pedestal, sald- Your Excellency, I believe it in the enal custom at sach fanctions as the laying of a foundation store to present, the gentleman who lays that stone with a silver trowel or some such memento of the occasion. When your Excel- lency was good enough to the first sod of the King Park at Kowloon the only imple ments you used were a spade and a wheelbarrow. Now, u spade is not a thing one would specially select for pre-entation. The proverb "Call a apade a spuds rather suggests that there is no nus. And, Indeed, at first sight it might seem that a barrow was not an object easily lead- ing itself to artistic treatraent by a silversmith, But we consulted Mr. Turner, and in the event. Mr. Bird was kind enough to prepare a charming sketch of an ornamental barrow, which we put into the hands of a local British firm to reproduce se a silver table ornament. Un. fortunately, that firm was dependent on Chiuesa workmen, and although the Chinese are most ingenious and clever in the production of miver ornaments of a clase with which they are familiar, on this occasion the result was most mnsatisfactory Your Excellency will remem der that na 6th Angust, when, after much per- seention by the elements, we were at last favoured with a fine afternoon, and the first sod of the King's Park was successfully turned, I in- formed you that the Committee regretted that the souvenir we had intended to prossut was not yet finished, but that we hoped to be able It is but to hand it to you a little later on. right that I should say that both the honor secratory and I have done all we could to expedite the completing of the barrow, but after much waiting it became quite clar: this weak, that the work was being most unreasonably delayed, if indeed the Chinese workmen were capable of satisfactorily exe cuting the order at all. Your Excellency's term of administration of the Government of this Colony is nearly over, and in the result wa felt obliged to abandon the idea of getting the barrow at all. We therefore ask you to accept memente of another land instead, and beg your acceptance of a silver bowl which is, at least, x creditable specimen of Chinese werkmanship and design, and which, beare a enit ble inscrip tion commemorative of the fanction'in enanoc tion with the King'e Park Allow me to add that we shall all remember the kind, manner in which both Lady Gascoigne and your Ex

This concluded the corcemony, and the bowl was then inspected by His Excellency and there present.

THE CHENCHOU MURDER.

A correspondent sends to the N-C. Daily Neue the following details of the murder of Messra. Braco and Lewis at Chenchou. He dates his letter Changle, Hunas, 18th || August :-

The teacher and cook have arrived from the

above city and from them we base the following additional information.concerning the murder of Messrs. Bruce and Lowis on the 15th of August. For weeks the cholers has boen depopulating the cities along the Yuan River, In Changle, they did daily by tho score, and from reliable report the same can be said of the cities west of here. Chênehou is built on a bilside and in the centre of the city is a famous spring from, which the people obtain much of their water. This was reported to have been poisoned by the foreigners and hence the high death-rate. For a few days before the treable, talk of evil intentions could be freely bent on the street, but the foreigners did not consider it of sufficient importance to speak to the ofleials about it.

On Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, Mr. Lowis was studying with his teacher and Mr. Brux in his room across the hall, when, in un instan," the house and street became crowded with people. Mr. Brucs at once sent to the Chilfu for protection, but it was too late. They drew bim by his hair out of the room and inle the yard where, with clubs, stones, knives, words, and torture, they soon killed him.

Mr. Lovis and his teacher went out at the back door into the yard and started to climb ap sm an old shed, when a stroke from a spar With the brought the former to the ground.. samo instrumente as used above his body was soon beyond recognition. Eyes were knocket cut and the bodies otherwise mutilated beyond recording her After this the mob destroyed all foreign books and other articles thor could

it use. The irnuks and Loxys were braken but not any of the poison could be found. When the crowd had almost disappeared, the Chibtu arrived and had the bodies moved into their respective rooms.

A few facts are worthy of notice.

He took kuid of his had to ascertain if he wore still alive; finding him to he dead he ordered the body to be carried into the hall. Later, the Hsien provided coflas. All the men who have come down greatly blame the officials, especially the military men, who, they say, simply shut their eyes to what was going on. There is a military yamen just behind the hall; twenty or thirty men could have saved the place, but the officer refused to send them. Another offer said conldn't send men without orders from the Fa.

In addition to Mr. Chang, two other church. members were injured. The evangelist, Loaches, and some church members seem to have sloed loyally by our friends. On the of the riot, just after breakfast, the evangelist for the last time exhorted them to escape. Mr Bruce replied: "We are not at all afraid, but if you have
