up at Wusuch as a warning to other evildoers. THE Shanghai correspondent of the Amoy Times saysEverybody here is praising the promptness of the American Admiral, George E. Belknap, in this late emergency. He received a cable despatch when at table" in Japan, answered it, and at the same moment cabled to two men-of-war of his squadron to proceed immediately to the scene of action. The vessels were on their way ever twelve bours before the news of the massacre reached: Shanghai. This is in violent contrast with the red-tape policy In Hongkong, where It took 48 hours to get a gunboat started to chase the Namom pirates. We received news last night (1st inst.) that Belknan has cabled to Washington for five more men-of war and had been assured by return message that additional forces would be despatched to Aslatie waters. With this heavy armament, the cooler-headed people in Shanghai feel little or no apprehension; but there is considerable nervous-, ness manifested by the more excitable.

THERE are some smart speculators in Tokyo, says the Hyage News. By purchase or other wise they have secured the right to use J. Mukabata's name at St. Petersburg. Mukobata was one of the jlaricksha-men who rescued the Czarevitch, and they intend opening a store in the Russian capital for the sale of papers, fans, and screens, etc., using his name. They are not mock-modest, for they anticipate getting a good deal of business from the Russian Imperial Household. Nothing venture, nothing have.

In the suburbs of the Houtal district, Adhul, a countryman sold two cows for $ro recently, and with the proceeds bought some baskets of oil That very night several men forcibly broke into his house and demanded the money. The countryman pointed to the baskets, of oil. He was instantly seized, smeared all over with oil and set on fire. The poor man was literally burned alive. As he lived far from other houses his cries were not heard. And of such is the Kingdom of Kwong Su.

IT takes a good deal to make up some alleged newspapers. One says of the blasting in Queen's Rond yesterday that they were aheut to blast. Some of those in the neighbourhood, however, protested against the blasting taking place, and ultimately it was abandoned." Another print talks much the same, referring to the brokers babble as a "vigorous protest of respectable citizens," and says the blasting did not come off. It will be news to these people that four charges were fired. Was it the sleepiness of the neważ papers, or the excellence of the work?
