Mr. Francis:That is true. The Attorney General persisted that the peti tion charged Mr. Melbye and Mr. Caldwell with fraud..

At the Liverpool race meeting on the 11th ulto. the most, remarkable feature of the racing was. the success of the offspring of a not very well- known sire-Fitz-James. Of the eight events no fewer than five fell to his sons, Chiefly owing to his success Sir Róbert Jardine and Lord Penrhyn each won three races. Filz-James bas well supported the fame of his prototype in "The Lady of the Lake."

THE EXECUTION OF THE BATU

BERENDUM MURDERER.

Official instructions arrived here on Monday "last that of the three prisoners sentenced to death at the recent Assizes for the murder of Abu Adam at Batu Berendam only Buntal was to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, the sentence passed upon Buntal's wife having been commuted to imprisonment for a term of ten years, whilst the son was to undergo penal servitude for life. The execution took place this morning on the scene of the murder, and was witnessed by some five or six hundred people, consisting chiefly of Malays, The announcement that the sentence of the law would be carried out at Batu Berendum created some little surprise, but when it was later on' rumoured that the two other prisoners were to be so plac d'in the execution ground as to allow of their witnessing the punishment inflicted for murder, disgust appears to have taken the place of asto istment. The rumour. however, proved to be an idle one. That the place and the manner of the execution were will be willing to admit. Murders have ben of most wisely decided upon every reflecting mind rather too frequent occurrence in our Settlement of late years, and there can be not the slightest doubt that the execution of to-day will act as a thousand times stronger deterrent upon the multitude of natives here than would any execution carried out in the ordinary manner In centres of outside the prison walls, civilisation such a mode of procedure could not, of course, be for one moment entertained, because it is there found to be unnecessary; but the matter bears a different aspect out in these remote and semi-barbarous regions: There exists a precedent for what was done this morn ing, in the case of the Melekee murder, when the prisoner was conveyed to the scene of the crime. under an escort of soldiers, and there publicly executed. The clear evidence of Buntal's guilt, and of the cold-bloodedness of the crime, forns by itself a powerful justification of the netien taken by the authorities, who, let us hope, have given to-day a wholesome and enduring check to the perpetation of the crime, the blackest in the calendar"

The execution procession left the gaol at a.m., the guard consisting of a posse of Sikhs under the charge of Sergeant Mitchell. As the procession was leaving, the bell of the Police campong began to toll. The prisoner sat on chair in a bullock cart in which was placed the coffin to receive the body alter execution.. On arrival at the Central Station the Malay con tingent fell in with the Sikhs. The route of the procession was hy way of Kubu as far asthe sixth mile-stone on the Bachang Road to Pulau Samak. A short. halt was made at Batu, Berendum Police Station, and Bantal then asked for some sirik, which was given to him. At 7.35 the procession arrived opposite Buntal's house close to which the gallows was erected. Though that must have been one of the supreme moments in the man's life, he evinced 'not the slightest sign of emotion 28 the cart stopped at the foot of the gallows.

There was a large attendance of spectators at the All-England Cleb Grounds, Wimbledon, when the third round of the lawn tennis cham pionship was decided. The weather was dull and cold, while rain in the early pint of the day rendered the lawns in a most allppery state. To the latter fact in some measure was attributable the defeat of W.

Hamilton, who defeated him, is one of the most prominent players; he lost th first set, but took the next three in succession.

to go to, the United States and came to me for a consular e itificate, could not I have withheld, one from him until he had paid me whatever sum 1 had chosen to ask? Why, lu. some cases, a Chinese merchant would only have been too glad to have given me $1,000 for THE SCOTTISH ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP. the privilege of coming to California.

THOSE CONSULAR CERTIFICATES Now, I will explain to you the whole thing..

Just a few months before the close of Arthur's

administration Secretary McCullough issued an onour to Collectors of Custos, directing them to permit Chinese to land in the United States on thecertificate ofthe Consulat the port of departure, stating that the Chinamen desiring a landing belonged to the exemptclass. This order made the Consul the sole and exclusive judge of the right of a Chinainan to come into the United States.. As nearly all the Chinese come to California on the

Hongkong steamers, the order simply turned

over the whole business to the United States Consul at Hongkong. The amount of the see that the Consul could charge for his certificate' was left to his discretion, and under the regulations this would have been his own personal perquisite. This business would have been a perfect bonanza, and all the coolies in Chinn could have been sent on such certificates to California. Colonel Hice, the Consul for China at San Francisco, wrote inc a letter, inclosing a copy of the circular and requesting me to go into the business.

KICKED OUT OF OFFICE,

I compared the circular with the law, and.. came to the conclusion that it was in conflict with the Restriction act: So I declined to have anything to do with the Chinese business, and instead of complying with Colonci Bee's request, forwarded his letter to the State Department with a dispatch giving my reasons, for not taking cognizance of the McCullough circular. It was a perfectly respectful legal argument. When my dispatch reached Washington, Cleveland had been inaugurated, with: Bayard Secretary of State. That was removed from office partly 10 further a scheme of Chinese immigration there is no doubt, for I was not only kicked immediately, but Bayard wrote to the Chinese Minister that it had been done and that there would no longer he any obstruction in the consolate at Hongkong.

CLEVELAND FOR THE CHINESE.

After the Chinese began to land here on con sular certificates 1 went myself to the Custòni House and called Judge Hager's attention to the Restriction acl. fact that layard's instructions nullified the He referred the question to Washington. At the same time the San Fran: cisco newspapers sounded this alarm, and Congressman Morrow had severnl Interviews with Bayard, protesting against the course of the Cleveland administration. Bayard was seized with a panic and revoked his 'in- structions; but at the same time, Cleveland sent a message to the Senate, calling attention to the defect in the law in 'not permitting Chinese

to lant on consular certificates, and recom. mending Congress to so amend the law as to permit it to be done.
