This appeared in our columns of yesterday in French..

Returning From Port Arthur.. During the past year quite a number of native artisans, masons, masons especially, have crossed over from Shantiing to Port Arthur, and not a few are returning in state of disgusted poverty. They make no complaint against the Russiane, who while strict in regard to keeping order on the streets, and not permitting alterations or other mis demeanours theroon, yet treat law-abiding labourers well. They were eloquent though!. against the Chinese compradores through whom the Russians pay their employees 1 all accounts are to be trusted these gentry make very poor conductors of the preciouts metais; their high inductive capacity permitting then to retain at least, half of the original charge.

Fire at Tientsin.

On the 24th June in the afternoon, a slight fire took place in the Godowns of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, but being slight and span, discovered, sit, was easily extinguished, carising very life damage. The next day about z'o'clock another fire started, and whilst investigations were being made as to the cause, and the daninged cargo was being separated from the undamaged portion and about to be removed, another fire started from another heap of the cargo which consisted of peanuts. This line however the blate was very. sudden and the flames rose high. A strong

TOBACCO IN BORNEO.

According to the report of the New London. Borneo Tobacco Company for the year ended Dec 31st, last the Company's 1897 crop was 4,695 bales, as compared with 6,696 bales 1896. The average price obtainted was e87 per half kilo, or about 19. 340, per lb, against 15. per-lb for 1896 crop, and tad, for 1895 crop. The 1897 crop realised £44.855, and, allowing for expenses, there is a credit, of 5.748, from which has to be deducted £4,048, debit balances for 1896 and 1897, leaving an amuunt of 1,700 available for distribution, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of a percent free of income-tax, leaving a balance of too, which the directors suggest should be given as a bonus to the assistants in Borneo. The crop of 1899 is estimated to produce about 0,350 bales, of which 2,205 bales have been sold at an average of c. 153 per half kilo, or about 4d. per lb."-Tlic expenditure to Dec. 31st, amounts to £27,257, as against. 31,084 i 1897, when the production was 30 per cent, less. It believed the entire cost will represent the the company, and wil.compare favourably with lowest avenge per half kilo in the history of the best results aplained in Sumaira: As the sales effected are estimated to yield an excess above the total cost of the emp, the directors propose to distribute an interim dividend on account of 1809 of 5 per cent, making, together with the dividend for 1898, a total of 78 per cent, upon the paid up capital of the 80,000 ordinary shares.
