We would remind our readers that the final performance takes place this evening. THE Hongkong 'public ricksha does not recom
end itself to one as a means of conveyance, As a matter of fact it is much too narrow inject. build for comport. The passenger, if at all stout, is sadly crumped, and the narrow guage of the wheels renders a sudden turn round a corner positively dangerous. Why is it that we cannot have a vehicle, built on rational lines? The Band of the Hongkong Regiment will play at the Hongkong flotel this evening, from 8 p.m. to 9.30 p.01.-

The magistrate went back to his yâmen and The first speaker was Mr. Winterburn, who issued a notice saying that a reward of $300 had come armed with a pamphlet written some would be given to the man who grrested the thirty years aga on the question of these boilers, assassin. Next day the reward was increased In it the writer spoke of them as being the boil to $1,000, but without result, er of the future and Mr. Winterbura said they were still the boiler of that time, they certainly were not the boiler of the present. He had brought the book in case Mr. Wilks would like
to see it.
Mr. Murphy, who reviewed the whole paper, was rather against the Belleville type of boiler, on account of the complicated and expensive nature of the whole system, and considered that the same results could be obtained by simpler methods than had yet been brought into practice. He called attention to several points in the construction of the various boilers, lustrated, that could with advantage be al tered.
. Hain, who had had some experience with these boilers, while acknowledging their great use for the Navy did not think them so well suited for the Mercantile Marine and gave some very good reasons for his opinion. The first being the casiness with which a damaged tube in the old "Scotch" boilers could be get at and repaire:l, sometimes without even allowing the boiler to cool down or lose its pressure of freshment, either alcoholic or otherwise, it is steam, while in the water tube type the job was difficult to find a better tide for cyclists who are A very lengthy ons as it was difficut in the first place to find which was the leaky tube.

Speaking about these tubes he could not see but that their construction must necessarily give a great deal of trouble on account of the contraction and expansion especially in the bottom joints as the weight of metal would not allow the whole to expand together. In the later constructed boilers this had been allowed for by making the. tubes with a slight bend, but still the difficulty bad not been overcome Mr. Dain then spoke on the "Feed and proposed a way in which much of the oil from the hot water lank might be kept out of the boiler.

PRISONERS ESCAPED." During the thunder storm which occurred on the night of the arst instant, eight robbers in- prisoned in the station of Koon Shan, escaped by breaking their chains and the door. The noise they made instantly awoke the soldiers who after reporting the matter to their, officer gave chase, but without effect.
On the way they were met by a gang of robbers who attempted to rescue their com radles, and fired upon the soldiers. A fight ensued, the robbers having three killed. The remainder escaped and the soldiers returned to their camps.

WEATHER REPORT.
A Naval officer explained how the water amount in the boiler and that it could be entirely neglected as the feed pump could be so nicely adjustedas to feed automatically, and proclaimed this as one of the great advantages that this type of boiler had over the older fashioned
onca.
A meeting of members interested in the ques- tion of Imperial telegraph communication has taken in view of Mr. Balfour's reply to Mr. Staart. Wortley and Sir Charles Dilke, that he would be prepared to give facilities for discuss- ing the subject on an early Friday should there Prove to be a general demand for such a dis- cussion. Sir Edward Sassoon, who presided, explained the steps which had already been taken in connection with the movement; and stated that satisfactory progress had been made in the collection of information, exposing the defects of the existing system. He declared that the cable companies had failed to realise their obligations in the course of the present war, and he laid great stress upon the Imperial character of the Pacific cable in the project of encircling the globe with an all-British cable. Having expressed a devout hope that the appeal addressed by Mr. Chamberlain to the Australian Governments would have the effect of recon- ciling conflicting ambitions, Sir Edward Sassoon referred to the commercial aspects of the ques tion, and, in conclusion, suggested that a re quisition should be signed, for the purpose of proving to the leader of the House that the desire for an early discussion was widespread. Sir Charles Dilke, Mr. Copen, Mr. Maclean, the form indicated by the chairman was drawn and others having also spoken, a requisition in up and signed forthwith by all the members in
Mr. Ham, Chief Engineer of H.M.S. Fame said that for naval purposes the boilers were indispensible, as steam could be raised so quickly in them. One of their great advantages was that owing to the small space occupied the boilers were very much more subdivided and the full power carried was not "con- stantly employed, so that when a tube failed another boiler was available to take its place. These tubes were not always causing. trouble as anyone would be led to think. He had had a large experience of them and very little trouble with tubes It was possible to run the water out of a boiler, fill it again and be under steam within four hours; He would have great pleasure in doing it if gentleman was sceptical on the point. He had used sal-water in them and had not found the effects so disastrous as it was supposed. Speak ing of the accumulation of spot and dirt that must be formed around the tubes be said this had never given any trouble. They had shifted it by means of a high pressure steam jet attendance.
