W. R. Lee, of Springfield, O., 28 years of age, has been appointed Royal Physician to the King of Siam. Your American contemporary goes on to add that "The stories of the sstounding cures made by the above mentioned phfsician have filled Siam with wonder, and what it took the native doctors five weeks to cure with their pagan tomfoolery, young Lee could cure in five ders."
In reply to the first statement, Dr. Lee has simply been appointed by the Siamese Govern- ment Resident Physician at the Bangkok General Hospital, and His Majesty's Medical adviser is Dr. Gówin, well known in the medical profer- sion. Dr. Lee originally came to Siam sa a Missionary doctor, and bas now returned as a civilian to take service under the Government.
With regard to the second assertion of #pigan tomfoolery," the writer of the item must be entirely ignorant of the fact that the Siamese Medical Service is at present_mosily controlled and managed by young Slamese doctors who have gained their diplomas in Edinburgh and America.
It is often provocative of disgust to read, in Yankes and other ill-informed papers, so-called news Items referring to the enlightened and progressive Kingdom of Slam, but that a widely real journal likethe Telegraph, pubilaked so near Bangkok, should without comment reproduce erroneous assertions regarding that country is passing strange, especially since it only the other day ridiculed a Yankee paper for announcing that "Manipure had been captured, disruised as a coolie near Senapeti" and that "Genem! Tcheng-kl-tong had been arrested at Foschow and beheaded within 24 hours.".

It is but a few years 1890 excerded the amount carried by them ago that the first junic propelled by a stern during the previous seven years, o wheel, worked on the tread-mill or Chinese chain-pump iystem, made its appearance at Canton Experiments were then made to test the relative economy both in time, and In working expenses of such a vessel compared with one propelled in the usual way by sail. The superiority of the former in both respects having been clearly demonstrated, the stem wheel came gradually to be fitted to most of the regular trading Janks plying on the inland waterways, and these boats are now to be met with every where, even up as far as Wuchow-fa, la the Kwangs province. In my last report I noticed a new departure, namely, the sanction granted to the owners of lines of regular passenger, boats to employ launches for towing purposes. This privilege has already been largely availed of, and passage-boats, towed by launches are now to be seen all over the Kwangchow and Shiching prefectures. The fee charged, however, for a license $1,000 to $3.000 a year-appears to be unduly heavy, for, coupled with the cost of the launch, It means an expenditure monthly of $60 or $700 beyond what would be sufficient were no launch used. Hence three or four Junk owners usually com- Mine to hire one launch; and so well is the security against pirates and the punctuality of movement appreciated, that after a few months enhanced receipts more than cover this large Laitial outlay.
Foreige oplum has never recovered from Its great drop in 1881; and the quantity Imported last year, though exceeding that of either 1888 or 1989, was still below that of 1887. At present it is an unimportant factor in ouse trade; but whether the increased taxation an nativeoplum, to be inaugurated in the spring, will give the foreign drug, with its superior quality, chance of competing or not remains to be seen. The increased taxation, combined with the Intended stricter suppression of secret cultivation, may tend to discourage Native production, and so conduce to give the foreign article another chance. The native oplam crop of 1888 was estimated at 6,000 piculs, and the increare since has probably not been large,
A GERMAN EXECUTION.
The public executioner of Berlin is a curious functionary. In accordance with his promise he sent me a dispatch at 7 o'clock one moming early last month, requesting me to call at once at the Flatsensee Prison, as a criminal named Karl Schmiedicke was to be beheaded at 8 o'clock precisely, the same day, says a Berlin special to the New York Press.
They continued to deal together until Hooker became insolvent, in 1885, at which time he held certain stocks for Cashman, and according. ig Hooker's books Cathman owed him. $1,347)- Cashman did not dispute the correctness of the açorrunt,, according to the course of dealing between the parties or their understanding at the time, but claimed that the debt was illegal and the contract vold because the State Con- of shares of the capital stock of any corporations stitution provides that "all contracts for the sale or association, on margin or to be delivered at a future day, shall be void and any money pald on such contracts thay be recovered by the party paying it by quit ia any court of competent jurisdiction,”

Root contended that Hooker was acting merely as broker or agent and that the property held by him na security constituted the relation of pledger and pledgee, which is not prohibited by the constitution. This view was adopted the trial court, which found that the stock was nárchased by Hooker as agent and belonged to Cashman, and that Hooker never sold stock to, or bought from plaintiff. No part of the indebted- ness, therefore, arose from the sale of stock an | ́margin or otherwise,
It is not easy to characterize by a name the relation between the broker and his customer,” says the appellate court la reversing the decision of the trial court. For all ordinary purposes it may be admitted that the broker purchases as the agent of its customer and then holds the stock to secure a debt; but if by the transaction the customer is enabled to do that which is pro- bibited, to wit, purchase stack on margin, it must be held to be within the prohibition, and if Hooker did not sell himself to platati, but was only the instrument through whom the illegal end was accomplished, he being privy to the design, the same result would follow
In the accomplishment of the unlawful pur pase, he took the place of the vendor and carried the stock, as the vendor might have done, and the end was thus reached per faterpoillam personam. The end attained, and not the form of the transaction, must determine the question."
For this reason the judgment of the lower court was reversed and a new trial was ordered.
