H. M. S. Swift was despatched yesterday afternoon in search of the British steamship Felbridge, reported by the steamer Bucephalus to be badly ashore on the Paracels. The Swift has received orders to stand by the vessel if necessary; so the date of her return with tidings of the ill-fated steamer is uncertain: We hear that the Felbridge was fully forty miles out of her course and probably drifted there by strong
currents.
A FIRRV Argyle and Sutherlander writes com plaining that we suggested the exclusion of soldiers from the military band concerts in the Public Gardens. We certainly did not-no one has a better right there than the under-valued "Tommy Atkins." But we still think that slight restriction-not anything prohibitive, but, for instance, a ten-cent charge, for the benefit of the Band, or the Alice Memorial Hospital, or the Ladies' Benevolent Fund, would have a salutary effect.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made for the final match between the Garrison Shooting Club and the Artillery Volunteers. It is to be shot off
A CHINAMAN and his paramour who were up before Mr. Robinson this morning, charged on remand with bringing two Annamese girls into the colony for immoral purposes, were discharged owing to lack of evidence to prove that the girls were either involuntary prostitutes, or sold as slaves. Evidently the Inw respecting kidoapping and prostitution requires considerable amend ment; as his Worship Binted when laying stress upon the point that the case was enshrouded in very suspicious circumstances, but unfor- tunately came without the pale of the law. Time well-known Stanley Opera Bouffe and Pantomime Company are now performing at Singapore and intend coming on to Hongkong and China. The combination is numerically the strongest that has yet visited the Far East, totalling sixty members, including an orchestra of fourteen. Their repertoire comprises all the popular comic operas, burlesques, and panto mimes, which in India have met with the greatest success. No doubt this talented com- pany will receive liberal support in Hongkong, although their visit will be a trifle late in the season. Full particulars of the opening night will be published in due course.

THE Russian steamer Ariel, of the Russian Volunteer Fleet, arrived at Singapore on the 9th ulto, from Odessa with 1:69 officers and troops on board, bound for Vladivostock. She is the latest addition to the Russian Volunteer Fleet, and is a vessel of 2,400 tons register, on her maiden voyage to Siberia. She is a beautifully modelled ship, and can steam eighteen knots per hour easily. She has all the latest modern improvements and has been especially built to carry a large number of troops. She carries n crew of 180 men and can, in the case of war, mount several guns. She was built in an English yard by order of the Directors of the Russian Volunteer Fleet.
THE sums received in Rome last year for St. Peter's pence are said to have been as follows: From Austria, about 416,000; Spain, (8,000; France, 12.800; Germany, £7,200; Ireland,
6000; England, £3,800; Belgium, £6,109 Switzerland, £2,205; Poland, 3.400 North America, £7,400; South America, £12,400; Africa, 43 800: Asia, 400; Roumania. 4000; Italy, 14,200, and Portugal, £6,000 Other sums, making up 44,000, were collected in Australia, Oceanica, Russia, Sweden, Norway, elc. The whole sum was about C120,000. being less by £6,000 than was received in 1888. The European States which contributed nothing were Turkey, Montenegro, Greece and Servia.
A SURVEYOR who visited Punjom in December says, in his notes published in the Singapore | Fra Pros-There has been a great deal of money spent and a great deal of work done in the way of sinking shafts and making cross drives but I'm afraid with almost "o results. The deepest cross cut has not yet reached the main lode. I believe it is at about a depth of 115 feet, and if the stone is not getting richer there instead of poorer! I have no doubt that that part of Punjom will be shut up and the machinery will have to be moved elsewhere. The mill is hard at work and some hundred of tons of quartz have been,, and are being, put through at the rate of about to tons per day (12 stamps at work). This is the picked stuff of the mine for the last 12 months.
execution of the six men at Kowloon City last week gave us a few more particulars to-day. He said that quite a number of Europeans were over there at the time, presumably gambling, and some of them ran away rather than see the sanguinary scene. It turned him sick, as it was. The victims were pirates and burglars, and had a long and bad record. They were brought aahore, with their ankles fettered and their hands bound behind them, enclosed in long baskets, similar to those in which pigs are carried. The executioners, after making such a botch of the decapitation, at once mingled with the throng, heads flew off to a distance of several feet, the so astoavoid further publicity. Some of the lopped tongue protruding and the eyes rolling. They were left on the spot, with the bodies, four being taken away afterwards by the relatives and the other two buried in the sand where they lay.

FIRST DAY, MONDAY, APRIL 28TH, 1899. Although rain bad threatened ominously over-night, the sport commenced in lovely sum- mer weather, the heat during the afternoon, however, being somewhat oppressive. The course, if not "fying," was in capital order, and the racing, taken as a whole, was most satis- factory, the fields generally ruling large and the finishes being fairly exciting. The attendance of spectators was quite up to the Shanghai average. During the day the following programme was played by the Town Band :--- March.............Farade "...

SAYS the Japan Herald-Our tea season has it is true-opened early, but it is matter for doubt as to whether the crop is as good as that of previous years. The first parcels of new tea arrived much earlier than usual, and a few small shipments went forward by the Gaelic on the 15th ulto. The weather has, however, been againstibe tea growers of this country. The hot sun and the heavy rains of the early spring have, it is true, brought on an early crop, but it is coarser than usual, and has suffered both in leaf and in the cup. Despite this, the demand seems as active na ever during the past week, and about 4,000 piculs have been settled, at prices ruling from $38 to $4, but there have been but few trans- actions at the extreme rates, as the supply mutuel, Arrow being next in demand."

Or the ships that cater the port of Shanghai, says the N. C. Daily News, there are, of course, many which have experienced to the full the dangers of the deep; but few can have had a. narrower escape than the Charles S Whitney, fine full-rigged ship of 1,651 tons, belonging to Parzeboro, Nova Scotia, and which left New York on November 20th for Shanghal, with a cargo of some 66,000 cases of kerosene oll. All went well until the long voyage was very nearly over, but then occurred an episode which those on board will probably remember to the end of their lives. At a quaster past two o'clock on Wednesday morning (30th ult.), the ship was out side the North Saddles, coming up before the wind with just enough sall to keep way on. There was a freak breeze at the time, a thunderstores wAI commencing, rain was falling heavily, and in the darkness of the night it was impossible to see as much as the ship's length ahead. The captain was aft, examining the chart, and preparing to heave the ship to, not liking to proceed in the intense darkness. He had just previously taken soundings and found twenty nine fathoms. Sud- denly the cry of Breakers on the lee bow was raised, and the captain, rushing to the starboard side, could see a line of foam abreast of the fore-rigging, and close to the ship. Above the foam could dimly be seen
fifteen feet above the water, The balm wAS instantly put hard down, and the vessel sheered off so port, grazing her starboard side between the main-mast and mizenmast as she went. Os deck the concussion was scarcely noticeable, Mr. Merevala's bik Black Leaf, rist. lb...... but the captain's wife, below, heard a distinct grating noise as the ship's timbers came into contact with the reel Hardly had the rock been cleared when the full force of the current began to be felt on the port bow, and by flash of lightning the captain could see that the current was taking the ship back on to the very rock which she had just 'Sail, however, was escaped.
Eureka a very hot favorite, Fontenoy and Markgraf made the running to the straight, where the former came away by himself, but was collared close to home by Duncraggan and beaten two lengths. Eureka secured third place,. but returned to the paddock badly lame Time 3 min, 8 secs,

THERE will be a game of Polo on the Race 'course to-morrow, the 8th inst, at 5.30 p.m. THE P.&O. S. N. Co's steamer Shanghai left London for this port, via Bombay, on the 3rd inst. THE Canadian Pacific Co.'s steamship Parthia, Capt. F. Wallace, which left Vancouver on the rith ulio, and called at Japanese ports and Shanghal arrived here last night.
Tux Chinese bricklayer who was arrested on suspicion in connection with the murderous assault upon Constable Green at Yau-ma-il on the 26th ulto, was discharged from custody this morning, by order of Mr. Robinson, owing to want of sufficient evidence to commit him for

AN American writer says that many careful observers of financial affairs, national and inter- national, look with misgivings upon the monetary situation, in England, and some of them are predicting that the present craze for speculative investments will end in a disastrous panic, In which not only Great Britain and her colonies, but the leading nations of Europe, and America will suffer severely,

THIRD DAY,--WEDNESDAY, APRIL 301H, 1890.
Bitterly cold weather prevailed throughout the afternoon, and a strong wind blew down the straight. The fields were again large and the racing of a high class. The feature of the day was the defeat ot Zephyr in the Champions, result solely attributable to the pony's losing half a dozen lengths at the start and being kept in the rear of him field until half a mile from the winning post. Vaticinator's success was halled with great enthusiasm
Results were as follows
