His Excellency could not undertake to say what conclusions 'actuated the Secretary of State in deciding as he did; the despatch had been made public, and most of the Chyll servants had agreed to its terms.
Mr. Chater suggested that the matter should stand over for another week, until Mr. Keswick returned.

The insurance companies interested, if they want the case to go to trial, will have to prosecule, other ise the prisoners will be let out on bail, and after a stated parfod, if no one appears agains them, they will be released. It will be remem bered, says the N. C. Daily News, that a Portu guese was sent to Macao same time ago for defrauding a Shanghal firm. He has not been tried yet as no prosecutor appeared from the firm has been out on bail for a long time, and will toon be allowed to go where he likes, as his Government does not undertake the prosecution, and the same remarks apply to the case of the brothers Pereira.

On the way up
In our issue of Saturday we reported that two residents of this colony, G. H. Mabommed Arab and P. F. Xavier, had been arrested in Chinese territory and detained by the man- darin at Chinese Kowloon. The cause of that incident was the accidental wounding by one of them, of a small boy who had the misfortune to be in the "line of fire" of the two "sports"-instead of "potting" a snipe, the hit the boy.
The affair WAS wired to the Viceroy of Canton by the officials of Kowloon, who, as soon as they received the necessary authority, notified the Hongkong police that they were ready to surrender the men, for whose release an application had been made that day. Acting Chief Inspector Cradock, with a body. guard of constables, at once went over to the diminutive city in Government launch, at 8 p.m., and returned about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night with the absentees, who are bou: d over in their own recognisances of $200 each to appear, if called winn, before & Magis trave.

His Excellency-I think it is, only right to informa you, Inasmuch as "the Estimates are under consideration, that the Secretary of State has made some changes in regard to the appointments of Postmaster-General and Colonial Treasurer.

proposed scheme for the re-adjustment of salarice this would amount to $7.776 a year, but the Secretary of State has made some new appoint ments, and these amounts will most likely be Assistant Postmaster-General to be Postmaster Increased. He has appointed the present General, at a salary of $3.620, bealdes which he is to have free quarters, and Mr. Mitchell- Innes has been appointed Colonial Treasurer and Collector of Stamps, at a salary of $1,800. As I mentioned, the combined salaries would have heen $7.776, but for the distinct appointments they will amount to $5.400. I may say that I entirely agree in the expediency of separating the offices; think that in a Colony which has arrived at the state that Hongkong has there is quite sufficient work for two officers, to ensure the proper performance of the functions attached to the posts for some years past, and 1 do not think the Council'will k sitate to approve of the scheme, leaving as it does sufficient leisure for these officials to attend more efficiently to their duties than has been possible in the past. When the Estimates come up any member can make such remarks on the matter that he thinks desirable, but I think it right to say that the changes, although they have been sanctioned by the Secretary of State, will not come into effect until January.
DISCONTENTED OFFICIALS.
His Excellency pointed out, when Financial Minutes" were reached, that they were laid on the table, but they contained a motion made to the Committee by an unofficial member, Mr. Keswick, that the Government lay on the an increase, and, if they are not satisfied, the table a list of the officers who have not received grounds on which they make complaint."

Althoughthe cause of the explosion is not definitely known, it is stated that it was due to a spark from one of the searchers torches falling into a barrel of gunpowder that was on deck. Moore's Injuries are described as fearful--the top of his head being blown off, the flesh stripped from his hands, and his body shockingly burnt, even his coat losing all semblance of a garment. He and the rest of the wounded were promptly taken on board the cruiser, a guard placed on the junk, and all haste made to get Dr. Cowic was sent for and the injured mea Into Hongkong for medical aid.

The Korean correspondent of the Chinese' Times sends a long description of the ceremonial attending the interment of the late Queen- Dowager of Koren on the 12th October. In the course of the account he says :—
