The money represented by the debt has been most wisely expended in works of a reproductive nature. Referring to the present state of depression, she expresses the opinion that the chief remedy will be found in increasing the production from the soll and in the development of increased exports, and she believes that Melbourne, as the capital of the colony, will share in the recovery. President Cleveland has announced that a special scision of the United States Congress will be held to September and October, for the purpose of discussing the tariff.

"CRANK" MASON'S VICTIMS.
The two Hi brothers, one of whom was Mason's servant, arrived at Nanking on the 14th Instant, and have since been put on trial. The following is the reason given by the Shenpro why the unfortunate "boy" and his brother were wanted at the capital. The authorities recently captured a certain Kolae Hut member whom the officials intended to punish by decapitation on the spot, but during his examination he gave the names of a large number of his confederates and on this account his death was postponed. In the course of a trial some time ago, the prisoner was asked by bis judges whether he knew the great leader K'ang, who had lately been captured. The prisoner replied that this man Kang was noted for his prowess in Hunan, and a great number of members considered him their leader. He said that K'ang was also concerned. in fmporting arms in 1891. Further, he said that he only knew very little of the case for the reason that he had never met Kang. He then asked the officials to cause the important cri- minals in the arma-smuggling case to appear to cout, and affirmed they knew all about the matter. This explains why the inmates of the Shanghai prisen were conveyed to Nanking. On the afternoon of the rgth isst, the two prisoners were taken before the tribunal examining the Care. On proceeding with the trial," the documents containing the evidence the accoted had given were first read aloud to them. They were then warned to give true answers to the questions addressed them on pain of punishment. This finished, the Court addressed the accused these questions the answers to which the Court considered they must know. Whether or not they had met this leader K'sng, while they were at Mason's house? How many times had 'K'ang altogether visited Mason? How much money did Klang give Mazon for the purchase of arms? To these they replied that when K'ang visited Mason's house, their master and the caller always remained outside and their conversation was carried on la secret language, each whispering lots the other's car. No one was allowed to see them at such meetings. Therefore they said they did not know the leader Kang, but they went on to state that they had heard some people say that K'ang once gave Tis. 7,000 to Mason, while others gave out there were two payments, one of Tis. 7,000 and another of Ts. 3,000 The accused also declared that as their therefore did not know much about, the matter, master had never said anytblog to them they but once by stealthily reading a list made by Mason they noticed a large number names, which they do not now remember. The only ones that could be recalled they said, were the first few at the head of the list, the first being L Hung, the second K'ang, the third a certain man named Tseng, and so on. What these people were intriguing about and where they lived, etc., the prisones asserted they had no knowledge. At this stage the Court ad- journed, and the prisoners were taken back to their celle

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT,)
15th April, 1893. Business is very slack this year. There have not been nearly so many steamers so far as there were up to this time last year,
At the opening of the season of 18ga there were some 10,000 packages of cargo for ship- ment on market; this year there were paly came 10,000. This is owing to the fallure of the bean crop. The year 1893 promises to be one of the worst experienced for many years,

AN INCIDENT IN MID-OCKAN JUST AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE WAR.
Early one morɛing the male was started by the cry from aloft, "Black smoke ahead, sir ! A big steamer standing to the southward."
The exptain was called, and in a trice bounced on deck, where, applying the glass to bis eye, he took a long look at the stranger who had pushed so suddenly out of the early mist hanging low upon the horizon.
Whatever ber character, we had but little chance of escape if she had rifled guns. Many a glance of apprehension was directed toward the sombre hull and pair of sloping smokestacks, with the twisting smoke trending lar astern.
