Inspector Gerrard said that witnes was very enger to give evidence against defendant some time ago, but since then his ardour had cooled down. This was probably due to the fact that both witness and defendant were living in the same street, and that the former feared that evidence. Another man, who was alo the case, had mysteriously disappeared expected to appear as awititessh and is believed to have gone into the country. Inspector Gerrard applied fo the withdrawal of the first charge, as they was no evidence to be called.
Mr. Wolfe accordingly withdrew ti first charge.

RECENTLY we have heard a good deal about the efforts which are to be made to develop Manila as a terminus for ships on the Pacific run. A rather grandiosa report, also, has been issued by the Whangpon Conservancy Board with the object of showing that by the expenditure of some millions of taels Shanghai can be made into one of the largest ports in the world. Japanese newspapers, on the other hand, have claimed that it is the destiny of either Kobo or Nagasaki to become the principal port on the shores of the Western Pacife. It may, there fore, be excusable to write a few words on the future possibilities of Hongkong,
