His place has been tem- porarily taken by Mr. Stewart, the gentleman who lately distinguished himself by wrongfully arresting Mr. Milne, and from whose career here one would have thought him to be the last person to fill a post requiring so much discretion and ability. Why not appoint the Agricultural Minister or borrow the Hongkong Telegraph's famous office goat?

On the night of the 7th instant, a serious "smok" took place on the estate of The Labuk Planting Co., Limited. It appears that two Malay coolies who had run away from the

quiet, proceeded to ransack the room, carrying away with them the bracelets mentioned above and a lot of opium and oplum smoking utensils. The unfortunate woman was. afterwards discovered, and taken to the How pital, where she died the following afternoon. The police are entirely without a clue, but the relatives of the deceased are suspected of insti- gating the crime, as she was in receipt of some $15 a month from the family property, which amount would be divided amongst the rest if sl e. died.

Mr. Van Marle, the manager of the estate, ushed out with a revolver and promptly shot and killed one native, who had done nothing in particular, and also shot the "amoker" who attacked him, four times in various parts of the body and thus ended his short and interesting career. The matter is under investigation.

Last night two men went into No. 18 Lyndhurst Terrace "under the same pretence that of wanting to rent a room, and on being admitted seized the inmates by the throat, threatening them with dire consequences if no money was forthcoming. The amah, however, made such a row that they ran away, and were arrested. Mr. Wodehouse remanded them, to-day, ・
