THREAT OF MURDER ON THE." AMERICA MARU."

It seems that a, disturbance on the T. K. K. America Mart on New Year's Day was a somewhat serious affair. The Japan Herald, which published an account of it the other days now.writes that it has received information from an unquestionable source, that the incident

The Hamburg-American Line has augmented its already enormous squadron by another large new steamer, which vessel deserves the more attention, especially of people in the Far East, as it is the first steamer of the company which has been built after the treaty by which the Hamburg-American Line parti einates in the subvention paid by the BIG CLAIM AGAINST YOKOHAMA German Empire for the mail service be. tween Germany and Eastero Asia..

THE LOSS OF THE "STELLA.”

COMPENSATION FÖR DAMAGES,

In the London Sheriff's Court recently, before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and special juries, various claims for compensation brought by Stella victims were dealt with,

The first action, reports the Westminster Gazette, was one brought on behalf of the two children of McJoseph Walter Henney, picture framer, of 174, Fulham Road, who was a victim of the Stella disaster, Mrs. Henney, his wife, being also droward. There was practically no defence to the action, as the London and South- Western Railway Company had recognised their ability but it remained for juries to assess the damages to each particular claimant. The case was a particularly pathetic one, as the two little girls were, thrown upon the world totally unprovided for.

ZOLA AND THE" PETIT JOURNAL,"

The trial of M. Emile Zola on a charge of having libelled M. Judet, director of the Priit Journal, in accusing him of using forged documents in an attack upon Francois Zola, the novelist's father, was adjourned on Decem ber 20th, says a Paris dispatch, for a month on the request of the defendant's counsel, Maitre Labori, who appeared in court with his client.
