A PECULIARITY, the small scale of everything, is one that runs through all things Japanese. The men are small. the women are the tiniest things ever seen. Their homes are apparently children's play-houses,, seldom over one story high, and one is constantly knocking one's head in pasting through a door. Their table wear looks as though made for dolls; the tea cups are not over an inch high and the ten-pot holds about two ordinary American cups. It is almost needless to add that they have narrow-gange railways, small 'locomotives and care, and also small fire-engines. In fact one may say that everything is small, except the kites and the A revolution has occurred in Tessino, Switzer-prices they charge foreigners for everything, land.

It has been reported that the wonden bridge near Messrs.

Waness did not get the 'warrant out on the Satulay so that the defendant would be locked up all the Sunday, as he could only get bail on the Monday. When witness personally charge prisoner with the offence he did not say "do your worst!” No one was present when he first taxed him. with the matter, but afterwards Mr. MacDonald was present:

Witness then stated that the day he taxed the prisoner, with the offence, and after doing so, be first fold Mr. Fraser-Smith about it. Hethen lound that Mr. Fraser-Smith had heard of it, but. knew next to nothing about it. Witness asked for advice as to whether to go on with such a case, and Mr. Fraser-Smith said "yes, certainly, it is a public matter and you should do so in the public interes." He, witness, then wrote out all · be knew of it and submitted it to Mr. Fraser-Smith, saying he would give it to Generat Gordon. Mr. Fraser-Smith then

Mr. Mitchell-Inges suggested that was the proper authority in such a case. After that he received no instructions from Mr. Fraser- Smith. He knew nothing about the letter of 8th September until now. As far as threatening the defendant in the Supreme Court was concerned' he had no 'object in stopping the pmceedings, because he was less friendly with Webber than with Minhinnett. In the presence of the Daily Press reporter and himself Minhinnett said ho would spend $1,000 to get Weber struck off the Rolls, and it was his knowledge of that vindictivo speech that caused him to let defendant kaaw that he, too, was not altogether spotless.

He must decline to say who told him the details. They came from an individual. The next day he taxed the defendant with the charge, without otherwise verifying the information, in the Supreme Court, where he met him by acci- dent.

In that conversation; he said to the defendant that he had better not press this matter (meaning the bankruptcy proceedings re J. F. Webber) because it would be better for him not to. Defendant said "I don't care, I'm going through with it." Witness then said "I'll give you a month to be out of jail, then." After that he went over to the reporters' table. After the case was finished the defendant came to the table and said "What the devil do you mean by say ing that about the jail" Witness said "you'd better not inquire. He demanded, "will you say it in front of a witness. Witness said "Certainly. He then went away. Witness then went down stairs and on, the Supreme Court steps defendant come up again. Witness said, "if you want a witness, here's one."

THE Telegraph scores again ! A racket amongst the "snips" fraternity has been brewing for some time past, and on the 15th of July last, we hlished a wee little "para" relative to a meeting of union tailors held on the Race Course at that time, when a resolution was passed con- demning certain foreign "boss" tailors employing too muchee machine man." For some weeks past the indefatigable Quincey has been on the trail of the discontented tailors who a few days ago. threatened the master of the Chung Wo shop, at Ne, 60 Queen's Road Central, whom they "raised Cain with because he was running more machines than the fraternity considered Justifi- able. This incident furnished Inspector Quincey with astrong scent, and besucceeded in pouncing upon fo of the "snippers" while in solemn conclave assembled in a cock-loft way down Liyuen Street yesterday. Two of the ring lenders were arrested and docked before. Mr. Wodehouse at the Magistracy this after noon and charged with intimidating the master of the Chung Wo shop, and using language calculated to cause a serious breach "preliminary canter" of the case, remanded it of the peace.

An extraordinary accident occurred in Shanghal on Saturday week, resulting in the death of a mafoo. The manager of the lithographic works in Sewird Raid was going home in a brougham with a friend at about one a'el ck on Satu dae morning. He had two mafone, one driving and the other up behind. The brougham started, but had not gone far before the driver. finding the carriage bumping, stopped the pony Upon getting down he saw the second mafoo's head jammed between the hind wheel and the body of the carriage, and so firmly wedged in that It was imposible to pull the unfortunate man out. Just then Inspector K'uth appealed on the scene and sent for a spanner to get the wheel ff. By the time this was done the unfortunate mafao ted before he could be was lifeless, having. released. He was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, but of course without avail. The accident was evidently caused by the deceased's guerre being caught in the wheel, and it is extraonlinaly that he should neither have heen able to make him self heard by the driver nor that his scalp should. not have given way and saved his life.
