The Protest of the 35 Co. Royal Artillery against their Cup Tic with the Club has been over- ruled in its entyety by the Shield Committee. There were6ar7 grounds set out in the protest bit there was really only one which, if substantiated, would have justified the Committee in ordering the match to be replayed, viz, the one which was based on the ground that MacMurray had been wrongfully ordered off the field. As a matter of fact the grounds on which competition inatches can be ordered to be replayed are rather limited in number. The chief ores are in the first place the of the ground and the fact of the match Being commenced after the time limited by the rules for the back of to all there cases it is, of course, essential that a protest be entered before the watch. The other grounds are a goal being wingfully allowed or disallowed by the referee, the weather or darkness intertering with the proper playing of the match, and the crowd interfering with the play, and the playing of an unqualified person. These are almost the only grounds for ordering a match to be replay ed. A wrongful decision of the referee in respect of a foul or off-side or anything of a like nature is one of those things which is to be regretted but must be put up with. The pro- bability is that it does not influence the result of the match in any way, with the exception above alluded to and also of an objection in respect of the time the match commenced. All the grounds in the Gunners' protest were founded on wrongful decisions, or alleged wrongful decisions of the referee. In all the cases the Committee rightly decided that they could not go behind the referee's decision.
In the case of McMurray, being ordered off the field, if, as a matter of fact, it had appeared that he was wrongly sent off, the Committee would have been justified, if they thought fit, in ordering the match to be replayed. It appeared, however, from the referee's evidence that-MeMurray-deliberately charged into him. remarking at the time "There take that" and, when asked for an explanation, consigned the referee to the infernal regions. This being so there was no question that the referee was fully justified in ordering him off. That the Com
nittee, which was at its full strength, was quite right in overraling the protest there is no doubt and we have equally little doubt that the Gun ners themselves, although burning with indig- nation against the referee, will be the first to acknowledge it.
It has, however, bad the beneficial effect of select a list of causing the Commince 0 Approved referees which is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.

Tel-grahic news was received at Govern. ment Headquarters yesterday that all of the Americans who have been held prisoners in the hands of the insurgents in Northern Luzon have been liberated, and are now in American hands. The telegram state's that Colonels Harc and Howze have come in after a tour lo the surrounding country, bringing with them all of the American prisoners, but no further telegram was received to the effect that the details are obtainable. A short time ago a Americans, had been liberated according to information from reliable sources which was not authenticated, but generally believed to be cause for speculation. true, and now this later message removes all

The most important among them, however, and those whose cases have amused the greatest interest are lieutenant Gilmore, of the navy, and his party, who were captured whilst reconnaitring up the Baler River when the effort was made to relieve the beroic little Spanish garrison. Gilmore's party was ambushed and sone killed before surrender was made, and since then they have been car ried from point to point in the North and subjected to much hardship and suffering From time to time news has reached us of their

Her son, seeing his mother murdered, tried to escape by a side door but was caught and niso slain. The blind man. hearing a noise, picked up a wood chopper and went in the direction of the noise.

THE R. C. MISSION IN BORNEO.
At the autumn meeting of the St. Joseph's Society, Mill Hill, held in London on the 8th November, the following extract was read from the report of the Prefect Apostolic to the Society of the Propagation of the Faith-Sarawak, Sep- tember 13th, 1899. During the past year the pro gress of our mission has been much retarded by the long continued sickness of our workers, both priests and nuns. One of the latter, Sister Leo, of the Convent at Sandakan was taken to her reward in the early part of the year. One of the latest missionaries to arrive from Europe has been obliged to retire perman ently from the mission through ill health, and four others of our missionaries have been absent a considerable time from their stations, owing to sickness, all this sickness has been likewise a heavy drain on the limited resources of the mission. During the year ending June 30th 1899, the number of baptisms has been 126 adults and 1oo infants. The number of cate- HONGKONG, Friday, January 12th.

The Boer artillery at Ladysmith, according to the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail, consists largely of guns manufactured at Le Creusot, and known as French Krupp guns. The Transvaal and Orange Free State Govern- iments placed a very large order some time ago with the Creusot people, and, although a certain number of guns and ammunition were. delivered, the correspondent has reason to be- lieve, on the best possible authority, that the suddenness with which war broke out has prevented the delivery of an
