The Viceroy of Liangbang, H. E.

According to the now rales, Kiangnan province is allowed to turn at each day not over 1,000,000 of such coins, which would place the Viceroy in an embarrassing position.

Sitting at the magistracy yesterday, Mr. F. A. Hazeland with the following jury: Messrs John Osborne, L. J. C. Anderson, and George F. Duncan, conducted an inquiry into the circumstaucon of the dosth of Tang Tai, a coolie, who died in Vistoria Gaot on Sunday..

His Worship explained that he was required · by law to hold an inquiry into the cause of the death of every prisoner who died in Victoria

DEPARTURE OF THE INTERNED RUSSIAN SAILORS.

It is now, of course, au open secret ut a serious failure has occurred in the great bridge which carries the Luban Railway to Kaifung. The story of the line is not an altogether pleasant one nominally a Belgian undertaking, it was from the beginning perfectly understood to be a Russian political scheme; and its real inten- tion was to facilitate communication from the north with central China, so that when the time came for absorption Russia should find no obstacle in the way of her successful advance to Peking and the rich Yangtse valloy. It is true that as time went on, and the great aim of Russia seemed continually further and further from any hope of accomplishment, the construction of the line assumed a more thoroughly commercial aspect, and intely this last has been the from the main mart as the vessel was leaving the Formness.
