ST. PAUL'S COLLEGE,

In the monthly leaflet dealing with the work of the Hongkong Church Missionary Association, the Rev. G. A. Banbury notes that the Training College of the C.ME.S. (South Chias Mission has recently completed the third year of its existence. It commenced in the autumn of 1899, when six students, together with a onthechist, came down to Canton to live with bim in a native house in the western subarb of the city. Here they lived together for nearly ten months, until the events of the summer of

Potier, Commd for Portugal; Dra. von Schab and Lalence, who bad examined the body of the decensed; Sorgeant Lynab, Detective Kiogaten, the prisoner, a native doctor, and a very large crowd of onlookers. The object of the luguest was, of course, to determine the cause of death, and there was little doubt that death was deo to tho wrund found on the decrand's body, but the native doctor differed from the foreigners as to the weapon and the manner in which the wound was inflicted.

After his arrest, and previons to the inquest He on Saturday, Souza confessed his guilt. made a statement that he was disturbed by the ringing of his front-door bell, and later by his room window being broken. He seized a cary. ing knife and rad out into the street, and seeing anatire running away, chsted him and struck him in the back with the knife. He did not wait to see the result of his blow, bat threw the knife into the creek and ran back home.
