THE HONGKONG, TELEGRAPH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1899.
CAPT. RAYMOND'S CASE. This afternoon Captain Raymond was again before Mr. Gompertz, charged with taking the late White Cloud to sea to an unseaworthy condition.
Mr. Bowley appeared for the prosecution and Mn Grist for the defence.
Mr. Dixon, government superintendent Engineer, was Swim and said: According to a certificate signed by him he passed the Iite Clond as a river boût for river limits. She was not in a seagoing condition it 1893. He would not have given her a certificate of any kind for going to sea. Her water-line beam was 30ft, ins; her passenger deck 48ft. 8ins. He had not seen a seaboat with overhanging decks like the Phil Clouds. At a great expense the boat might have been made fit for a trip. If he had been a ship master he would not have considered the 'hite Cloud in a fit slate to go to sea.

H. F. C INTER-CLUB MATCH.
WHITE VERSUS REIL
The teams as given below turned out yester- day on the Happy Vidk Seth and Tullock, who were advertised to play, were absent, su there were only four forwards on each side, Johnston was indisposed and did not don his jersey, but acted as linesman, Cox filling the, vacancy in the team.

Lowe, shortly after the game hat heen started, tried to get away, but Pinckney was too fast for in Whites, however, pressed and kupi ile Reds in their territory, and a corner fell to Whites. They made no use of it, for Blake relieved. The ball was secured by C. Kew, and he sent it back again, Reds once more having all they could do to defend their citadel. Then Libead was given the leather, and he invaded Whites ground, but Hall sent to the centre, and play for some time waged in centre-field. free kick was awarded Reds and Lonker kicked overin essaying at goal. Whites got back again, but Danby secured and sped away, Hancock in close attendance, aiul these twogo well up to their opponent's goal, when Danby shot, but the ball went a few inches wide of the upright. Reds kept up the attack and once more got dangerous, Hall stepping in in the sick of time. Whites then haut à lank in,and" LL Greene compelled Sexton to hit away, but in doing so he gave a corner. Reds secured the ball from the kick-in and Libeaud received on the wing, and making a good run along touch, avoiding Hall, be slut for god, but the ball hit the net outside the uprights. Danby and Hancock were soon pressing again and they took the ball within a few yards of the goal line, where Dagby cluded Hornby and sent in a well- judged centre, which Yule made use of by put ting the ball into the net, scoring the first goal, Up to half-time dhe Reds had a hule the hust of the game.
Lemon-time pust, some changes in the teams took place. Hinds and Smith from their respec- tive sides went under the bar as custodians, Cox and Sexton taking up the formers' positions entside. Reds went off with a spurt, and Libenud, from a kick by C. Kew, diverted the ball cleverly straight for goal. Yule made a rush for the ball, and Smith ran from under the bar; both collided heavily and each was "grassed Smith, however, managed to clear, and so did Yule, who took a rest behind goal for a few minutes. He must have received a somewhat hard knock for him to retire. Play was of a fast order, the ball repeatedly being taken up and down the field at a great pace, each team threatening in turn. Just on the call of time Whites made a determined attack and Cux did the needful, which put the score one goal cach, the game therefore unding in a diary,

Sexton Taking the game into consideration there was some very good play, although there is room for improvement. There was the same. fault noticeable last season when a player was pressed on the wing lo "gallery" with the ball instead of sending right across the field to the other wing, where a rush would be made for it, thereby releasing the first holders from the pressure, when they would be again ready to receive the leather on its being returned. We have heard Hasselt, the crack wing player of the West Bromwich Albion, say that he always found such passing to be effective, for when the bill had been sent back to him again he almost always had a clear field and was able to (4) Any person, not being a natural-born or score, for when the leather had been sent from naturalized British subject, who is convicted of side to side in such a way players had naturally an offence under this section, may be banished rushed for it, most of the forwards thereby hay. | from the Colony by an Order of the Governoring crowded right in the centre; of course, at in-Council, made under any Banishment laws times, Bassett depended on his speed, but we which may from time to time be in force in are afraid our men here depend too much upon it. Neverthless, especially Danby and this Colony.
Hancock, the wing men yesterday did fairly well, and the first-named would have done more had he not such a fast player as F. Kew opposing him. Sexton had so little to do under the bar that we are unable to say how he would come out of the ordeal were he con- tinually and hotly assailed with shots. There is no doubt about Blake and Pinckney being the right pair as backs, and when Jenkins has had more practice in making sure of the ball, he is not a bad player to fill the post of a wing half Looker was conspicuous with some good sprints in pursuit of Lt. Greene. Hinds played a hard game. Of Danby and Hancock we have spoken, so there now remains Yule and Libeaud. Yule, if anything, has improved since last season, and he did well yesterday in keeping close up to receive Danby's contre and score off it. Libeaud is a new player; he was for some- time one of Yokohama's best footballer and ↑ should give a good account of himself in long- kong, for he knows the game well and has plenty of speed in a mile mee he is a good match, we should say, for 'Looker; on more than one occasion, if we remember rightly, he has taken the mile championship of Yokohama. Yesterday he did not shape at all badly, but he must have a strong player to partner him. Of the Whites forward line all were about on.# par as far as brilliancy is concerned, in the half-back line F: Kew was in a now position
Section 30 of Ordinance 9 of 1897 is hereby amended so as to read as follows:-
30-(1.) The Registrar General and any officer generally authorized for that pur- pose in writing by the Registrar General shall have power without warrant to search any ship, boat, house, building, or other place where he has reasonable cause to suspect that there is any woman or girl who is or may be liable to be dealt with under the provisions of this Ordinance or in which he has reasonable cause to suspect that an offence under this Ordinance is being committed, and may remove any such woman or girl to a place of safely to be there, detained until her case be enquired into,
2. The Registrar General and any officer generally authorized for that purpose in writing by the Registrar General shall have power to search any ship, boat, house, building, or other place for the puppge of ascertaining whether there is hajčin any woman or girl who is or may efiable to be dealt with under the pro- vjlions of this Ordinance, or whether į any offence under this Ordinance is being committed and may remove any such woman or girl to a place of safety A be there detained until her case be

for him, but he did very well. His brother seems to have lost none of his cupning lu get ting the ball out of the clutches of his oppo. nents, and also in worrying them with his strong attacks; he wants a lot of beating in the position of centre. Smith did better than we expectate at times. Formby and Hall
judgment are two safe hacks. Cox, nt the finish of the match, played a capital game. Taking the two teants on the whole, perhaps Reds were the best, their forward line being stronger than Whites.

ROYAL ENGINEERS V. II.M.S. "RONAVENTURE."
This match was played at Happy Valley last Saturday afternoon and, after a long game, re sulted in a draw slightly in favour of the Royal Engineers.
Good batting, was the chief feature of the play on both sides, the best scores being made by Lieut. Brown, 47, and Corp!. Jolly, 31 (not out), for the R. E's, and J. Broad 38 for the Bonaventure...
The latter commenced their innings at about p.m. against a score of 137, and credit is due for the stand they made and holding out until the call of time at 5.30, the score being 115 for 8 wickets, thus ending a very even and pleasant game by a draw,

Varella was ttached, thence to arrival fresh consist, we are informed, of some twenty-one anicfes, generally on the lines of the regulation in force in Japanri proper, but with some note-' worthy differences, inost important amongst which are the two following:-
ist: As regards security : Under the Regulations in force in Japan, the security payable in Tokyo is Choco's in Osaka, Hyogo, Kobe and Nagasaki, £700; and in other place £350, with a reduction of 50% in the case of papers published three times or less per month. Ender the Regulations for this island the security will be Croco irre- spective whether the paper is published daily, monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
andly; de regards the freedom of the Press and liberty of publication ----In Japan the Press is now practically free and untrammelled. In Formasi, however, the Governor-General will have the right, under the Regulations, to issue. a special order prohibiting all reference in the Press to any matter relating to foreign affairs, or any matter relating to military affairs, or any other matter that Government may desire to keep secret.
As far as we can learn, however, there is nothing preventing the sending through the mails, or the circulation privately amongst sub. scribers, of a paper published say at Amoy.
THE BANK OF CHINA AND

The following Circular has been issued to the shareholders:-" The working of the New Blank has resulted rather more favourably than in previous years at same date, and it is antici- pated there will be again a reduction, conse quent on recovery of Calls, in the amount of deficiency account at Dec. 31st next. The appeal in the shit in New York Courts against an American shareholder in the Old Bank was not decided in June as was anticipated, but it is expected to obtain the decision during next month. The re-hearing of the suits in the Shanghai Mixed Court against Chinese share- holders was fixed for an early date in August last, but before, this came on the Deputy (Shen Tan Ho) appointed by the Chinese Government to hear the appeal, who had been denounced for bribery, was sentenced by his Government to punishment and the re-hearing is consequently indefinitely postponed."
NETHERLANDS INDIA.
GOLD MINING,
Faith in the gold-regions under prospecting in Sumatra, Borneo, and Celebes seems to be increasing, however slowly. In Java, the investing public are said to attach greater belief to the reports from that quarter, telling of improved prospects. For instance, the Totok Company sought to raise 120,000 guilders. The amount offered was about 13,000,000 guilders. Confidence in the Company mainly accounts for the excess. As matters now stand
in the gold regions, there is every sign of Netherlands India shortly taking a prominent position among gold-producing countries. Naturally, as the Sourabaya Couran! points, out, all these regions are not gold-bearing, and much swindling may be looked forward to among the proninters of the mining companies. Bai, for all that, many are likely ere, long to prove to be paying ventures.
