The special aim of certain local politi- cians-if the China Mait is worthy of cre- dence-in agitating over this miserable matter is not difficult to fathom. It is de- sired to spread the belief that the para. graph in the Paif Mall Gazette is a dastardly attack on Mr. Mansa, and that it is the handiwork of Sir John PorE HENNESSY, These agitators evidently believe in the French proverb-On prend le peuple par tes oreilles, comme on fait un pot par les anses, and by agitating in that belief we think they are losing time which might be much better employed.

The Chairman then said:lt is now my plea- sing duty to present the usual prizes to the players who have most distinguished themselves during the season, as a token of the club's appreciation of their play. I regret that there are fewer of these prizes to be awarded than was the case last year, and though this is a saving to the club, I am sure you will agree with me that it is a kind tlemen on leaving Hongkong were, good enough to leave behind them a silver mounted bat for the best average among the members of the club, and this Mr. Duanna is entitled to by his fine average of $4.-(Applause) Mr. Dunman is also entitled to another bat for his score of 153 against the New Comers.

(Applause.) The ball for the best bowler goes to the celebrated "lobster," Mr. 1. D. Walker, the Middlesex captain, who on a pions. Mr. Hynes is also entitled to a ball for taking the greatest number of wickets during the season. (Applause.)

Mr. Stewart called attention to the advisability of keeping the ground clear of outsiders during play, and alluded to the danger there was of in Juring the small boys who usually crowded the ground, Mr. Hynes replied that the Committee had done everything possible to abate this nui- sance. Mr. Hynes also stated that larger nets for practice were in course of construction which would be a great benefit to lawn tennis players and others. He also expressed a hope that mein- bers would stick to cricket and not desert the old manly garac for lawn tennis.

The session of the Chambers will probably close to-morrow.

Sassoon, Sons & Co., the owners of the cargo, which was of considerable value. Captain Fryer was examined at great length and stated that he had made seven trips from Hongkong to Shanghai, and two from Hongkong to Saigon. The charts in use on board the Hongkong were of the most recent description and parchased specially for use on the China Coast. He bad not taken the Haitan Straits passage previously, and only took that route on the occasion of the loss of his steamer, as he had a very experienced pilo: on board, and only then on account of the very heavy weather which was prevailing outside. The vessel was going at the rate of nine.knots when she struck. The rest of the evidence was of a purely technical character, and of too lengthy a description for us to give a full account in our to-day's issue. The finding of the Court was as follows:

We find that the British steamship Hongkong, official number 83.077, john. B. Fryer, master, whose certificate of competency is numbered 95,916, was totally lost on a rock lying in the fairway a little north from between Long Yit and Double Yi, at the southern entrance of the Haitan Straits,

We are enabled by the telegrams in our San Francisco exchanges, received by the Arabic, to give some particulars relating to the final stages. of this extraordinary measure in both Houses of Parliament. A telegram from London dated August 8th says:-

"The Marquis of Salisbury, speaking on the

Arrears bill at Hadfield, last night, said that the bill was neither necessary nor very important in its practical operation, but in its present form it contained principles involving so grave a depar ture from the ordinary policy of the Government that the Lords might refuse to sanction them without a direct authorization from the people. The Marquis of Salisbury did not-say whether the Peers intended to fight the Arrears bill or to abandon the amendments, nor was any statement made on this point by Lord Sandown, who spoke at Rufford Park, nor by Edward Gibson, who addressed a Conservative meeting at Ledbury. Sir Stafford Northcote, apologizing for his absence from a Conservative-meeting-at-Ledbury said "I have been unwell some little time, and shail be absent from the House of Commons until the beginning of next week. The time for action seems to be close at hand. We must be pre- pared for all contingencies."
