FIRE AT SHANGHAI,

SHANGHAI, March 12th. Last evening a fire of a particularly destruc tive nature occurred in the godown of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Peking Road, which was entirely gutted. The alarm was given at about 6 pm and a few minutes after saw, firemen hurrying from all quarters. Some bluejackets of the. Bonaventure, who were taking an Biring

all tels. When the Fire Brigade came along, of them with commendable promptitude, it was seen that the Job was a serious one. The building concerned was a one-storey affair, about 80 yards lang, stored principally with silk, cocoons, piece goods, cotton, and it was reported, luggage of people by the C.P.R, mail, and saltpetre.

It was a dirty and unsatisfactory fire from a fireman's point of view, but the local fire fighters worked splendidly. Despite heat and smoke they fought a hopeless battle and in their efforts they were ably helped by the blue. jackets and officers of H.M.S. Bonaventure and Peacock. A tribute of praise is due to the captain of the Russian warship Kortets, who vsent, with two officers, a party, of a6 men, 10- gether witr hose, pumps, and other fire ex tinguishing appliances. The fire itself was of such a natute that the firemen could do little with it. The flames caught the scaffolding of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson's new premises, but the French Fire Brigade attended to this and also a catch on the roof of Messrs. Sassoon's servants quarters. The fire in the godown blnied for over an hour, and when die heat reached the wetted bags of saltpetre there were dull ex- plosiona that suggested gunpower, and one particularly lurid flame that shot up and as quickly vanished, indicated the loss of a stock

whisky. The two fire floats were on hand during the fire, but were not called into play. After over an hour's hard and fatiguing work the fire was subdued, though it smouldered long after,, and the western wall of the building showed a de- cided inclination to fall out. Altogether it was a matter of blinding smoke and steam, with a considerable element of risk, and our fire and fighters deserve all credit for their plucky and self-sacrificing efforts.

of

It is anderstood that the loss will amount to

something like. Tls. 100,000, but nothing will be definitely known until to-day.

Inspector Matheson had charge of the police and the splendid control of the crowd, that would otherwise have seriously impeded the firemen, is to be commended.

The godown had been entirely closed since Saturday afternoon, and the fire must evidently. have been smouldering for some time before it was seen.

Some thirty-five years ago the godown now destroyed was the Lyceum Theatre, after which it was occupied by the shortlived fim of Arclid, Campbell & Co., and then by Messrs. Reid,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1900.

A LEGEND OF SPION KOP.

The Daily Telegraph' tells this native legend of Salon Kop-Many years since there died a celebrated Zula chief. At his funeral an enor mous python put in an appearance. A youth. ful warrior, thirsting for glory, sprang forward and struck the reptile, cutting its tail from its body. The chief witch doctor averred the python was the spook of a warlike ancestor of the recently-departed chief, so the stump-tailed This stump-tailed": python became sacred. anake or another of the same pattern-appeara from time to time. At every appearance, the Boars say some event. of great portent is about to happen. Spion Kop, which is "little more than a kopje," means the hill of spying, and

called

because the Hoer Foertrekkers, flying from-British law, paused at this hill when they crossed the Drakensberg, to decide in what direction they should move. There are," says the Teligraph, "difficulties of a natural order lying between this spur and Ladysmith, which is 14 or 16 miles distant,"

THE DEATH OF YOUNG ROBERTS.

Mr. Frederick Treves, Consulting Surgeon to the London Hospital, who was present at the battle of Colenso in his capacity of Consulting Surgeon to the Forces, has sent an interesting letter from Frere, written a few days after the battle, to, the British Medical Journal. Mr. Treves writes :--"After a heavy afternoon on the field I returned to Chieveley Field Hospital in the evening, but had hardly got in when a galloper arrived to ask me to see Lieut. Roberts, who had just been brought back, 1 returned at once with a full equipment of instruments, and much regret that the valiant soldier, was from the first quite beyond the reach of surgery.

"

He was pulseless. I slept outside his tent. that night, and saw him up to Chieveley on Saturday morning. He never rallied nor re- gained a pulse, and died on Saturday at mid- night. Before he was brought in he had been lying for seven hours in the sun in a donga. Here he was attended to by Major Babtie, R.A.M.C, who rode into the donga through a hail of Bullets, and whose horse was killed under him. Major Babtie kept by the many wounded men in the donga until the battle was over, and as he alone find water in his water bottle he doled out water to each man in a minim measure, one drachm to each. The courage and daring of Major Babtie on this occasion calls for some recognition from the medical profession, if not from the military authorities."

a dramatic contrast the conduct of their ancestors. Norfolk Island is a high cliff 400ft. above the sea, and 13 square miles in area, which-Hamilton, Capt.-E.

For the first fifty years of Australian convict settlement. When that was this century it was first a British and then an was given up it was decided to transfer there the Pitcairn Islanders, the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. These seamen had married native women in Fiji, and taking them to Pitcairn Island settled down to drink and murder. Their half-caste children so multi- plied that Pitcairn's Island, which has only three square miles, was too small. Those who consented were removed in 1850 to Norfolk Island, where they and their children constitute two thirds of the population of 730 The, re- mainder belong to the Malanesian Mission, which was settled there in 1867 by the British Government as a centre of mission work in Polynesia-not quite to the satisfaction of the ex Pitcairners, who alleged that they were pro- mised the whole island, and that the mission settlement restricts their "expansion." The mission church on this lonely island was erect- ed to the memory of Bishop Patteson, who was murdered by natives who mistook him for "blackbirder," or labour recruiter. This church has a stained-glass window by Burne Jones and William Morris.

WAR BABIES.

In Govan United Presbyterian Church an infant has been baptised as "Robert Baden Powell Goudie." The officiating clergyman expressed his hope that the child might grow up to emulate his famous name-father, and prove as valorous, as heroic, and as patriotic all through his life. He added the hope that the news of the event" might be conveyed to the hero of Mafeking, who, he was certain, would be pleased to learn that he was so much. in the minds of his, countrymen at home. Another Govan infant has been registered as "Redvers Buller." (We suppose that we shall next hear of a girl baby being balled "Tugela," quite a pretty name).
