was quickly under way in charge of Assistant En- glacer Campbell and a number of the fire-brigade, who were soon hard at work pumping volumes of water over a huge 1,000 ton pile of coals which were smouldering ominously inside the godowns, and threatening to burst out in flames at any moment. The first discovery of fre was made by a coolie who observed that smoke was issuing from the roof of the Company's large corrugated tron godown, and that the iron (southern). alde of the building was completely red-hot at a point about a feet above the ground. He at once ran to the Teim-tra-tuoi police station and informed the officer on duty, who in his turn wired over to Hongkong,

Our representative visited the scene of the fire this morning and ascertained that upwards of a thousand tons of Japan coal had been destroyed. Scores of coolics were at work carrying the coal from the godown out into the yard hard by. No flames were actually emlited from the pile, it appearing to have merely smouldered gradually for some time past, owing probably to the coal being stowed in the godown in a damp condition. This is, of course, merely a supposition and mentioned as a possible, theory of the origin of fire. The damage done, including cost of removal of the coal, must be considerable, but the godown itself is uninjured. Had this fire occurred in a building similar to the one which was destroyed by fire some three years ago the damage would doubt- less have been far more extensive, for whereas in this case the iron wall of the godown merely became red-hot it would, as on the former Decasion, dave been enveloped in the fiery element long ere assistance could have reached the spot. engines were kept at work all day pumplag The firs was got under by noon to-day, but the

The Royal Insurance Company, Meusts, Melchers & Co. agents, who are interested parties to the extent of $5,000, also went over to inspect the place. The exact extent of the damage cannot be stated until the report, now being drawn up, is submitted to the offices interested.

The only reliable evidence was that of the police, who, arriving after the collision, found the boat about hundred yards in front of the Wharf, The plaintiff's counsel had endeavored to show that lordship failed to see how that was possible, being of opinion that she was practically on the fairway to the wharf With regard to the evidenco as to the light, the plaintiff asserted that there was one, whereas the evidence for witnesses only said that they did not see any, the defence was of a negative character--tbe which was possible, even if there had been one. sighted the row of cargo-boats in front of the sampan, and that be and the steersman were too occupied in getting out of their way to observe the sampan. Even if they did, there was not sufficient care taken in getting to the wharf. Under those circumstances the defence of contributory negligence failed. With respect to the question of damage, he must first its allow the charges for finding and burying the body, but as regarded the claim of $101 for money, which the plaintiff wald were the savings of twenty years, and were to go to buy the deceased youth wife, there was some doubt.

We take the subjoined telegrams from allowed as ample cover. As regarded the claim for the loss of the son, the measure of damages was the loss of his services. In the letter they were set down at $100, and, spart from that, the fact that he was going to be married, and would, presumably, start on his own account, had to be considered. Taking plaintiff's own valuation, however, $200 would be allowed, or, altogether, $225, and costs.

A SAD nocident, resulting in the loss of two lives, happened on board the U. S. flag-ship Omaha, whilst on a recent excursion for target practice outside Kobe, at the end of last month. Whilst off Owari Bay, the usual firing was going on The fifth gun, a nine-inch smooth bore had been fired. The gun had been sponged, the cartridge interted, and the shell was being rammed home, when the charge exploded. The effect was dia. astrous. One of the men, Emanuelsen, lay on the deck a mutilated mass, with the top of bis head blown off, showing nothing but the bare his chest crushed in. Death of course was instantaneous, and the same merciful fate befel his shipmate Kirke, who was shot clean off the vessel. A protracted search failed to discover any trace of Kirke's remains and it is supposed he was shattered to pieces. The heavy firing at once ceased and in the evening Emanuelsen's remains were interred at sea, the vessel returning into port the following day.

THE COLLISION COMPENSATION CASE,

迅鲜

That concluded the evidence for the defence.

LONDON, July roth. Several evening papers to-day published positive and circumstantial statements to the effect that W. H. Smith is to be transferred to the House of Lords almost immediately and that Lord Randolph Churchill is to take his place as leader of the House of Commons. It is also asserted that other changes in the Ministry are impending.

We have to state that these reports ara absolutely devoid of foundation and that no such reconstruction as that referred to is even in contemplation. It is also untrue that Lord Hartington has attended a meeting of the Cabinet council this week.

Another of the wild rumors afloat to-night waI

one that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach had been offered a peerage, and that his present office as President of the Board of Trade was to be taken

by Lord Randolph Churchill. This story is so absurd in itself that it scarcely deserves contra- diction, but we may, perhaps, shorten its term of existence by pronouncing it entirely groundless.

The report that W. H. Smith was going to the Lords derived some confirmation by the right honorable gentleman being seen passing on his way through the lobby to that august assembly. On arriving among the peers Smith did not advance to take possession of the woolsack, but stood for some little time near the throne with the other privy councilars, listening to the speech of Lord Rosebery on the German treaty. When he had heard it through Smith returned to the scenes which are daubtless more congenial to him.

PARIS, July 10th.

The scene is decribed as most dramatic when Michel Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard were brought face to face in the apartment where poor Gouffe was murdered. Eyrand calmly eyed his former companion and described the strangling of the notary, relating to the minotest detall the part each played in the tragedy. He was remarkably cool and composed.

Gabrielle, who pretended at first to look with curiosity upon her companion in crime, soon gave way to the horrible fascination he still exercised upon her. Struggling against this feeling, she finally aroused herself to a pitch of defiance, because greatly excited, contradicted at various polots his statements, and declared his story of the murder to be full of falsehood.

as

In the main features of the murder both agree they confess their mutual guilt they differ at those points where they seem to throw the bur den of blame upon each other. Eyraud, while pretending to excuse the woman, accused her most foully, while she retorted with bitter asser tions of his criminality in Initiating the crime and tempting and finally forcing her to assist him.

Plaintiff was then called. He said-1 am a Government school-teacher, and live at 26 Square Street, with my brother and family.
