The carrying coolle at once attacked the other with his bamboo and injured him severely, Mr. Wodehouse sentenced defendant to six weeks' hard labour and ordered him to pay the com- "plainant $ro as compensation.
THREE carpenters were to-day remanded till Thursday next, at the Magistracy, charged with chiting and wounding two coolles with sa adre at Talm-ihx-laul. It appears that the carpenters were working on No . wharf of the Godaws Company and the cooltes were rollug barrels along it. One party “would not give way to the other and then there was a fight in which about 85 men took part. Two of the coalies were cal on the shoulder with an aday and are still in hospital. Fifteen other carpenters were also charged with being concerned in the fracas. TH's forenoon the fresh water supply was shut off from Pedder's Hill and neighbourhood.

LETTRES from the Charnel Squadron at Barce. Jona state that on the 9 h-April a Court-martis! was held on board the cruises Harmiona for the trial of Mr. Johs Barber, boat wala of the Blenheim, who was charged with dionkenness, Captain Bridgeman prosecuted, and Caplain Arbuthnot was president of the court. The Court found the prisoner gality, and in view of the fact that he had been previously tiled by Court-martial, sentenced him to lose three years ́seniorly and be dlamised his ship, Great regret is expressed throughout the squadron that an cfficer who won his position, an Mr. Briber did, by conspicuous gallantry, should lay himself open to such a charge. When serving as so able `sesman in H.M. gunboat Lfly, that vettel was wrecked off the cast of Labrador on September 16th, 1889, and teren of the chew were drowned After her boats had capsized, and although i was known that two of the crew bad bendrowned near the same spot In sitempting to effect communication with the sbore, Burber volunteered to wins with a line through the auif, which ha successfully accom piloted.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1897.
SENSATIONAL GOLD ROBBERY.
£5.000 MISSING.
When the Chinx Navigation Co's steamer Talyuan strived to-day from Sydney, via the aruat posts of call, the police fing was holsted and It was reported that boxes contalolog sorcielgus to the value of £5000 were missing {out of the treasure room.
A strong body of police was at once placed ou board and all shore commuplcation was cut off, The officers were busily employed all day lo overhauling the effects of the crew and no part of the ship, apparently, escaped search. The greatest reifceace is necessarily shown, the "steal" being a very serious affair, and so far, according to all accounir, the robbery has been Tery cleverly executed,
It was only about three months ago that a similar affir took place on the P. & O. Co.'s Oczana wille on a voyage home from Australia, and the exclalte of Martin Welburg, another mall ship geld-robber, are misa brought to mind.
The Talyan's treasure room is at the foot of the saloon companion-and it fi' said that dupli- cale keys are in the possession of the Captain and chief officer only. It is to be hoped that the efforts of the police may soon result in the missing treasure belog located. It is said that the loss was discovered on Thursday last and that the vessel was outside the harbour all Jast night. The gold was shipped to the names of several Chiarse who are in basiness Australis.

SOUTH ARRİCAN AFFAIRS.
PROSPECTS OF GERMAN INTERFERENCE.
It is interesting to read the remarks of ibe Hamburger Nachrichten as to the possibilites of German interference in South Africa. That Jurnal refers to the large increase in the German garrison in South Africa, and hints at the case with which British South Africa coold be invaded. It is frequently stated in Germany that it would be quite possible for a force f-óm South West Africk to Invade Cape Colony (1) by land through Namaqualand; (e) by following Mr. Landale won pretty easily.

A GRAVE OUTLOOK,
"engineering industry. Those who are familiar with Germany's prograss and its causes are constantly calling attention to the advantages which German trade has gained from the ability of her standing army of scientific men, ready to apply to indisirisi operations overy serviceadle scientific discovery,
If asked wherein German education is superior to our own, I should say in its appliances, in its methods, and in its organisation. The splendid buildings that have recently been erected for the study of applied science, some of which are bele described in a recent report, perfectly equipped and supplied with every kind apparatus peeded for the most advanced sclea "tific research, are the admiration of all who have seen them. No expense has been spared ja rendering these fosiliations serviceable to the industice they are intended to develop. The number of students trained in them is far greater than in our own.
The thrifty habits of the German people, the fact that they take life more seriously than we, and their admitted canteniment with a some- what lower standard of material livlog, are con ditions not to be overlooked, the weight of which cannot be exactly estimated. But when due allowance is made for all these causes, the one, fact that stende out prominently, differentiating superiority of German instruction, and its closer the conditions in the two countries, is the adaptation to the wants and requirements of the people. It is this that has enabled -ikem to gets on as in the science of production and in the it of distribalina. The danger that threatens us, although by no means alarming, is nevertheless evident: the remedy is to our
own hands.
