Ta is reported from a sellable quarter in Peking that the Empress Dowager bay, after all, cam- pissed the death of Chang Yin-huan in spite of ibe appeal for mercy on his behalf by the British and Japanese Ministers, It is stated thri Chang's death had alwayı bean Intendef. 10 that even while leaving the Western gate of the capital there was in Ching's trala, consisting of himself in a male liiter, two servants sad a cook and a grid of ten soldiers under a. Captain, 'an extra man, aunner belonging to the Board of Punishments, carrying on his person Chang's death wariat.
This warrant was to be executed at a distance from Peklog where the victims would not be known, so that his death by strangulation would not excite the people, and the new would be grevealed from getting to Peking. Bat the ran ner apparebily was impatient and executed his orders when only four days' Journey from Peking Another reason was that one of Chang's body servan's managed to escape the late destined for his master and the three servants, and herce the news of the unfortunate officlsl's death.

1. The enormous volume of Fire InverANGE business now transacted in Shanghal is, of Itxell, #efficient on for the formation of a new Local Company.
The opening up of Chine to Railways, tha establishment of numerous Industrial enterprises, and the ever increasing naive and foreign trade, must be followed by a corresponding increase in the demand for intarence against Fire.
3 The probable extension of the Foreign Settlements in Shanghal, the opening of Was song and other new Tresty Ports, as also the Incase of tertiary ceded to Foreign Nations, shou'd be followed by a large addition to pro- pertes requling insurance.
遁
4. Two very ECCEerstal Offices, domiciled in Fengkong, have for many years justly com manded large share of the Fire Insurance business in China, but they are unable to satisfy the demand, and consequently a large number of Fire risks are placed with European and Australian Compsules.
