IT is to be hoped that somebody's suit will shortly bring the Stanley controversy before the The revelations which now follow each other in rapid succession are extremely unpleasant reading, and settle nothing in the public mind. Who ranks whom, among Stanley's subordinates, as an authority about the rear column, is some. thing the public outside is incompetent to decide, especially as each actor is the affair, from Mr. Stanley down, says he has not yet told all he knows. There are at least three versions now in the field, besides Stanley's own, namely, Troup's, Boaur's, and Tameson's, besides the version of the Barttelot family.

I went on Monday to Fung Pol's house to get the shater, but was informed that be had gone to Canton on Sunday evening. He returned on Thursday and I saw him that morn ing, and asked him for the shares. He said, "This morning a broker told me the market has gone up and I won't give you the shares.
