HARMSTON'S CIRCUS,-

A fresh programme had been arranged for Jast night, and those who visited the Happy Valley test were witnesses to quite a cbango. from the performances which have passed, Thoro was a fairly good audience by the time the hour for effecting a start drew near. There were many changes from the old programme, the chiefbeing that Willie and Nellie Harmston Love gave an exhibition of wire walking and it was very good. The latter created a surprise when she was seen swinging in mid air, im- mediately after having exhibited some horse -riding, which was cleverly executed in her neat style. - The item “Visions de Olympia" was well worth seeing, Malle le Blonda and Mr. George Harmston going through some clever work on borseback. Their "bit" was fully deserving of the applause with which it was greeted Next came the performance by the Sisters Frezagondas, direct from the London Hippodrome. Their exbibition can not be seen everywhere, by any means, and the clever way in which their work is dismissed. evidences the fact that they ate no novices at their "terpsichorean revels." It was their first! appearance here last night and they are sure to be popular. The clown ponies introduced by Mr. G. Harmston go through some peculiarly clever and silly antics under the able manage-| ment of their trainer. Ajax was again loudly applauded for his almost innatural contortions and twistings. He is down for the "great crocodile act" and the nature of his exhibition evokes wonder in all directiona It is not often that his tricks can be seen. Altogether the show is a credit to the management; the only drawback being, the distance from the city at which the tents are placed. The fine horses which are put into the ring are a sight to see, and it must also be mentioned that a menagerie, consisting of various animals, is on view.

Matinees take place on Saturday and Wed- nesday afternoons, and a large attendance is a foregone conclusion. A full programme is given at each matinec. Tomorrow night the Jansens make their first appearance in Hong- kong,

Notes from the "Su Pao,"

The St Pas has received a telegramı from a correspondent at Lanchou, capital of Kansu- Province, to the effect that General Tung Fu- hsiang's army has been brought under sub- mission.

Asian telegram, received by the Su Pas states that immediately after the arrival at Hsian of Sung Shou, Governor-designate of Kiangsu, the Empress-Dowager granted him a" long. audience, during which Her Majesty asked many questions concerning the measures taken by the Viceroys of the Southem and Eastern Provinces to defend the territories under their respective jurisdictions.

The Su Paa says that at the earnest request; of Lu Chuan-lin, the Empress Dowager has ordered that, after the restoration of peace, special temples should be built at Paolingfu, Tientsin, and other places, for the warship of the conservative bigot, Li Fing-hing, and Vi Lu, late, Viceroy of Chibli, who committed suicide after the battles of T'urgchou and Yang-tsun respectively, in recognition of their recent services and as an encouragement to other officials to follow their loyal and patriotic example.

Viceroy Liu K'un-yi; says the. Su Fao, has drawn up a memorial to be sent to the Throne, H. E. Shên Chung-li, asking for the pardon expectant Taotai of Kiangsu, who upon his denunciation by Kang Yi during the latter's tour of extortion last year, was sentenced to banishment.

The New Director-General of the Grand Canal.

Chang Jen-chun, former Provincial Treasurer of Shantung, was expected, according to a Tsingkiangpu (Grand Canal) dispatch, to arrive at that city on the 15th inst. from Chiningchou, Shantung, and take over his seals of office on the following day from the retiring Director-General Surg Chun (Manchu), who goes into private life at once. It will be res membered that Sung Ch'un was removed from office by a decree of last November for inacti- vity in pushing supplies and troops through the Grand Canal during the summer to Peking:

ATSINGKIANGP'U DISPATCH further reports the passage through that city of H. E. Yuan Feng-lin, newly appointed Pro vincial Treasurer of Szechuan, en route to hisi post on the 11th instant. The new Treasurer is a retired Governor of Shansi, having made himself obnoxious to the Conservatives in 1898.

The intea- tion of the Governor (Yün Tsu-yi) therefore now seems to be to memorialise the Throne recommending that Pao Thotai be banished to penal servitude for life on the military post- roads outside of China Proper while the hereditary rank of Baron the 1st class held by Pao be takèn away from him and given to his eldest son to preserve the family rank and name to uphold ibe-honour of the ex-Tactai's father, the late celebrated General Pao Ts'ao- N.

DEATH OF A BRITISH NORTH BORNEO OFFICIAL.”

We much regret to have to record the un- timely death of Mr. G. McNish, which took place in the Labuan Hospital on the 18th ult, says the B. N. B. Herald of 2nd inst. Mr, McNish had for some time been ailing, the cause of his illness being tropical livet Somewhat careless of his health be did not p much attention to his complaint and abscess supervened, necessitating an operation to which | Mr, McNish would not submit, His condition rapidly became serious, and symtoms of, a general break-up of his constitution were ́ap- parent, the ultimate cause of death being syn- cope from failure of the heart's action. The loss to the Company of a zealous young officer of Mr. McNish's stamp cannot be over estimat ed, and his death is another example of self- sacrifice to be added to the roll of Officers who have given their lives for this country, Mr. McNish joined the Railway Department in July 1897. Not finding the work to his taste, he re- signed and was attached to Province Dent as a third-class Magistrate in April 1899, appointed a second class Magistrate in May of the same year to enable him to take up the important post of District Officer for Province Dent, which position he held at the time of his death. The Court of Directors once had the intention, in view of Mr. McNish's well-known tact in his dealings with natives, to station that Officer ja "On the roth.

QUEEN WILHELMINA.

In the Second Chamber of the States General at the Hague on the 20th ult. four bills were submitted: (1) approving of the marriage Queen Wilhelmica with Duke Henry of Meck lenburg-Schwerin, regulating the procedure. to be followed in its celebration, and providing for certain contingencies in connection with it: (2) Providing for the naturalisation of Prince Henry, and dealing with certain consequences attendant on his change of nationality. (3) Providing for the allowance to be made to the Duke from the National Treasury in the event: of Queen Wilhelmina pre-deceasing him. (4) Increasing the Naval Budget for 1902. These bills will be printed and submitted to the Bureaux of the Chamber for examination. In connection with the above we understand that there will be no public celebration by the Dutch residents of Singapore on the occasion of their young Queen's marriage.

The Dutch Constitution does not provide any settlement for a Prince Consort, but it if understood, says the World, that the financial?? question is not to come before the Chambers in connection with the Queen's, marriage, as Duke Henry will not receive any income from the country. Queen Wilhelmina proposes that a sum of twenty millions of marks should be taken out, of her private fortune and given over to trustees, who will pay the interest to her husband. The money will be so seitled as to place the income at the disposal of Dakt Henry for his life, after which the capital is to pass to the younger children of the marriage, and, in default of such issue, will revert to the Crown. This arrangement will give the future Prince Consort du income of about thirty thousand pounds a year, which, it will be remembered, was the amount setiled upon Prince Albert in 1840-1
