NOTES ON CHEFOO RACES, The Chefo correspondent, writing.on the 15th inst. to the Shanghai Dally Press, says - The greatest excitement of the season, the Races, are now of the past. Probably there are sose who even wish they never had been. The opinion of one who knows very little about ricing matters is that it was a very one-sided meeting altogether. All the honours were easily won by either Mr. Sietas' Na-Na, and Katzen- jammer, or Mt. Random's Daredevil and Whim, As to the Pari Mutuel, it so happened that more often than not, one paid for the privilege getting out less than poo put in, even though holding the winner's ticket. As far as the weather was concerned, nothing could have been better, both days. An enterprising Japanese photo. grapher secured several good views on the first day and

The sentry on the beat observed. these two men hunging around the magazine and hailed them and questioned then what .they wanted.

A GERMAN VIEW OF ENGLAND'S ABSTENTION FROM THE PARIS- EXHIBITION.

Commenting on the telegraphed report that Erish and American exhibitors were with drawing from the Paris Exhibition, the Ostasiälische Lloyd makes the following

suggestion:-

It would be a mistake, in our opinion to regard this as a jewish success, Much more probably the real reason is imt the English manufactur ers no longer have the courage to send their exhibits; for they well know that they cannot now as formerly maintain a comparison in the mass with the German exhibits, Germany has never before been so strongly represented at the Paris Exhibitions as England, and the change seems to annoy Englishmen. The Dreyfus case, which has caused annoyance to so many, will therefore still seem to have its good side, as it will afford them a plausible -pretext for retreat.

What would serve an enemy's cause much of ammunition, and the revolver which was better though, would be to blow up our store discovered on the person of the Spaniard leads strength to the belief that information was not their object. A well directed pistol shot in the right place would accomplish disastrous results.

If these men were in Cavite for the purpose.

THE SHADOW OF THE PLAGUE,

Is the plague coming to England?. Are we to have a repetition of the horrors of the seven- teenth century? These sound rather alarmist questions but it looks as if they would have to be taken seriously into considerations Alexandria is sustaining a severe visitation from the dead disease, and Alexandria is within a week's journey of London. Five years ago, according to the British Medical Journal, the present epidemic commenced its Fogressive career on the extreme cast of the Astatic litteral and during that time it has travelled to the Mediterranean. Will Europe." asks our contemporary," be in the throes of an epidemic plague with all its terrors to life and its dislocation of commerce? It is possible, perhaps even probable, that such will be the case." A disquieting pronouncement surely, says the Singapore Free Press.

A WOMAN MURDERED.

A Siamese woman was murdered on the 11th is reports the Bangkok Times, in the lower part of the town--Bangkwang lane, which is in the neighbourhood of Poh Chin Soo's rice mill. Robbery was apparently the object of the crime. She had come to Bangkok from the country in a paddy boat, and went last evening in the company of a boatuman, a luk thin, to see the wonders of Bangrak. It was on her return that she was murdered. She and her companion by torches. After a little the lights were went down the lane together lighting their way extinguished, one cry was hard from the wonsin, and that was all-till this morning, when the body was found staled in sixteen places. Her earrings and a gold chain that she lad worn were missing, and the boatman is said have disappeared. The murder was committed quite close to a police station, and it is causing much excitement.

On nearing the casco the boarding party found she was aground on a sandbar. Boarding her, clearance papers were found to be regular, permitting her to carry a cargo of rice, vino, hams and potatoes to Negros. The master had a plausible story to account for his nearness to the shore, claim ing the wind had blown him thither, but the boarding officers were not to be hoodwinked by his plausible stories and a comparison of the cargo with the papers showed that half the rice that was destined for Negros had already been landed. This accounted for the presence of the natives and some score of carabou caris an shore.

Half of the rice and all the vino was heaved overboard and the casco at once righted and was towed back to Iloilo and the hams and po tatoes confiscated and the filibusterers marched up to the old fort for confinement.

The track to Angeles will be completed by 10-day soon, and trains will be run the full length of this extension from now on. Though trains have been running over the road the past week the track has lacked a few hundred yards' completion until to-day owing to a tem- parary shortage of steel, but Lieut.

Manuel Oliver, a civilian in the employment of Colonel Parker, was in town from Calambia last Saturday, and reports all quiet at that point save for an occasional exchange of shots by the outposts,

Mr. Oliver, who is a fluent apeater of Spanish, says that in a conversation with the five escaped Spanish prisoners who entered our lines at Calamba about ten days ago, they told him that just prior to their escape an expedition of thirteen pack-horses, loaded with $50,000 in Mexican money, the funds of the insurgent government, had crossed the mountains on the south, attended by a strong armed escort. The money was sent by Aguinaldo in payment for a largo consignment of arms and ammunition which they presumed was to be landed some. where on the soullicastern coast
