Mr. Robinson-It's very easily seen, if you look at any door.
The enquiry was then adjourned. The Court on sitting at to a.m. to-day, adjourned to view the remains of the goods that were in the shop at time of the fire.
P. C. 92 esamined in Chief yesterday, was recalled. He said a communication was made to him by Private Kent to the effect that he, Kent, had seen two of them leave there a few minutes before the outbreak of the fire.
He said nothing until a few days after the fire when he knew proceedings were to be taken.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1901.
We regret to state that Mrs. J. Levy, of 47, Staunton Street, was removed to Kennedy Town Hospital this morning suffering from plague.
On enquiry at Messrs. Bradley and Co. Mr. passed a very satisfactory night, but later we and Mrs. Brownhill were reported as having learn a slight relapse has taken place.

The Sanitary Board 'oflicers were at work at room 34 in the Connaught House yesterday evening. No fault can be found with the general arrangements of the house. No all round fumigating and consequent total closing up is anticipated, people leaving may possibly jump out of the frying pan into the fire.

We learn that the Empress of China that left Hongkong a short time back, is bailed up at Nagasaki, a case of plague amongst the Chinese passengers having been discovered on board.

The tailor's shop in Beaconsfield Arcade is a disgrace.in any civilized place, particularly when one takes into account the fact that it carried on business exclusively with Europeans. The shop is one inufs of filth and rubbish, and we are told that a lot of the stuff caried away by the proprietor had, in be followed up and destroyed by the Sanitary Authorities. The place swarmed with fleas and we should not care to have wom any clothes manufactured there. These shops should be turned out at least twice a year and thoroughly cleaned. It is no use just shifting the filth on one side and whitewashing. All the odds and ends which the Chinese are so fond of collecting want clearing our petiodically, and we think that some steps should be taken to see that this is done, at least in shops which cater for the European community.

SYSTEMATIC SWINDLING,
`A TERRIBLE AMOK IN
SINGAPORE.
An amob of an appalling nature and one- which in point of loss of life has not been equalled in Singapore for many years, occurred on the 4th inst., says the Free Press.
About half-past eight, a Malay, named 15rahim, living at No. 2 Little Cross-st, was seized with that sudden lust for blood comman to anokers, and, arming himself with ́a sharp spear-head, fastened on the top of a long pole, he at once attacked a woman, who was in the house at the time, with this deadly weapon, wounding her in a fearful manner in the stomach, Streaming whh blood the unfortunate female rushed out into the street, where she fell dead. The man now broke down a parti Malay family lived. They, hearing the noise, tion leading into the next house, where a

The next victim was a man, Jab Kasab, another Malay, with whom Thrahim game in contact in the road opposite Little Cross-st and who he attacked, running him through the neck, and wounding the unfortunate man in such a manner that, when the spear was $thdrawn from his body, he dropped dead. The course of the murderer now Thy along Arab-st, and here another Malay man met with his death, though this unfortunate's name is at present unknown to the police.
From here, onwards, the amoker con- tinued his deadly run, soon meeting a China- man, by name Chu Ka Kee, whom he ran through the left side in a dangeous manner. Leaving this victim weltering in his blood in the street - Ibrahim turned down Haji Lane, where he met a number
of persons, at present" unknown, whom he hacked and cut at indiscriminately, until the track behind him was literally one of wounded and bleeding people. How many the mur derer attacked here, the police were at first unable to find out, but it appears on enquiry at the General Hopital, that ten cases have been received there, and of these, one is already dead.
How the amoker was stopped is not known, but he must have been knocked down by some spectator of the fearful tragedy, for he was found by a Bengali constable in Hadji Lane, lying in the drain, and badly wounded. The constable, with great presence of mind, sat on the desperate an, and at length with other help, got him into a rikisha and proceeded with him to the Police Station, but before

Ibrahim is a Malay man and he has been living at 2 Little Cross-st. for two monilis past. He is said to have had friends and to have exercised no general calling, but he appears to have been a sort of doctor, going about amongst the natives, and practising cures by means of certain peculiar devices of his own.
Inspector Macnamara and Sgt. Ashby were early on the scene, rendering efficient aid to the wounded, who were at once sent to the General Hospital, and making the fullest enquiries as to the manner in which the victims met with death.

OUTLANDERS IN HORNEO.
The Bataria Nicmosblad dwells upon the dangers arising from Outlanders in Dutch Borneo. That island will soon be connected with Java by cable from Banjermassin on the south coast. The Shell Transport and Trading Company, which works petroleum fields at Cotie on the east coast of Borneo, wants cable of its own from there to java, and' is moving the Netherlands India Government on the subject. The question naturally rises: Why should these British outlanders have this privilege? Coties is a Dutch vassal state which has done very well without cable com musication of the kind desired. Other places close by have greater, need of a cable. The Shell Company thinks however, that the business i doing, in that quarter is well worth a cable. It had asked that oil from Cotie should be shipped from there to Java under the British flag-a privilege, that the Durch law does not allow-the moment Gotie is brought more directly under Netherlands sovereignty. Now the Shell Company wants a cable to be laid at its own cost should the Government shrink from the expense. in case of failure to gain its end, so that journal thinks, the Company will be sure to say that the Dutch Govemment shuts the door to British enterprise, Borneo. The point is made that the Dutch Government should keep a sharp eye on Outlanders in, the outlying islands and put them down in time.
