THE PEACE PROTOCOL.

(Special wires to the Shanghai Mercury) LONDON, 14th Aug., 7.25 p.m.

Dr. Morrison, the Times correspondent, wires that the Peace Pratocol is really for Signature. The misters agree to Sir Ernest Satow's sugestion to exclude the clause with regard to the appointment of an International Commission relative to the conversion of duties to specific free list, which comprises gold and silver coins, bullion, foreign cereals, rice and Bout.

It is announced that instead of M. de Witte, the Russian President of Finance, his assistint A. Romanoff, Privy Councillor in the Ministry of Finance will tour the Far East.

THE PEACE BROTOCOL SIGNED.

GREAT BRITAIN HAS WITHDRAWN HER

OBJECTIONS."

The Conservancy of the Whangpoo. All the Powers have signed the Peace Pro- tocol which contains all the Articles with the exception of Art. XI, and we understand that. the Wangpon Conservancy Question is also inserted in the Protocol, and that is said to be the reason, the British and German Consuls- General hastened to Nanking to see the Vi- ceroy. We likewise learn that Great Britain has withdrawn her objections from signing the Protocol after coming to an agreement with the Powers. As to further commercial and shipping questions, they are to be entrusted to a Committee in which only those Powers will be represented who have large commercial and shipping interests with China. In fact the Board will consist of those we mentioned some weeks ago. It is understood that these negotiations will take place, as we intimated some time since, in Shanghai, and the different Powers, especially Great Britain, Germany, France, and Japan, will be represented in this International Commission by their Consuls General, and that each nation represented will be entitled to one vote only, which will, no doubt, be very much appreciated by the whole commercial community of China. As former consultations regarding the Whangpoo question in Peking have shown that the Ministers are not well informed as to details and have had to rely upon information given them by. experts from Shanghal and other commercial ports, it has been deemed best for the negotiations to be carried on here. The transfer of the negotia tions on the other hand will facilitate all parties interested, who will be given an opportunity to explain their views.".."

TRAGEDY ON THE L.-C. S. "LOKSANG,"

The N. C. Daily News of the 17th inst. gives the following brief account of the fatality on the Loksang, as published in our telegram last night:

"

A sad fatality occurred on board the IC.S. Lobsang last week, when the steamer was at Mororan taking on a cargo of coal for Shanghai, A shot was heard, the sound of which indicated that it had been fired in the second-engine. er's cabin. On entering the cabin, the body of the second engineer was seen huddled up in the hand. Although the shat had entered en the floor, with a revolver, still smoking, the forehead and gone right through the head, the man was still living when the cabin was entered, but was unable to speak and expired in less than a minute. From the position of the body, it was thought that it was either a case. of suicide, or that the revolver had gone off accidentally.

AN AMERICAN ON THE CHINA

EXPEDITION.

Capt. McCall, U.S.S. Nrwark, says of the Seymour expedition to relieve the Peking Legations:-

At first we bad only the Boxers to contend with. Later we had the Chinese regulars. They were splendidly armed all that a good soldier could wish for. They had the best of Mausers, the finest of Mannlichers and good Krupp guns. Nobody could ask for better than that. It was almost pathetic to see how the Boxers fought. Their religious enthusiain and faith in certain things were extraordinary. They believed that by waving their banners and speats in a certain way and making peculiar motions with their bands, the bullets from our guns could not harm them. Nothing could shake their faith in this kind of defense. They would not run away. I saw a parcel of twenty-five of them stand up and be shot down to the last man. All through the fire they kept bowing and making their strange motions. Even when the last of the twenty-five had been shot to his knees be kept salaaming to the last. could not understand. It was different with the Chinese regulars. They knew what bullets could do. They are not very good marksmen, They would begin to shoot when they were a great distance away, but there were so many of them that it kept one rather busy trying to dodge the bullets. They displayed more order under fire than expected, but that, was due to the German methods employed in their training. I saw one body of them walk off very calmly and in splendid order under a hot fre. But so soon as they are threatened from the rear they give way in bad style. They seem to be very sensitive to the danger of being cut off. That is a Chinese soldier's weak point." Speaking of the Japanese, Capt. McCalla said: "The efficiency of their army is something to marvel at. Think of it, when the allies got to Peking the Japanese had an electric searchlight and a storage battery which proved of the greatest service in storming the wall. They are modest, quiet but businesslike at all times.""

COTTON CARGO AFIRE.

HOW THE CAFTAIN SAVED HIS VESSEL The Hansa Line steamship. Johannesburger, Captain 1..Bioller, which arrived in Bombay recently from Hamburg via Antwerp and Mass sowa was on fire while the vessel was load- ing at Antwerp, on the zind May last. The fire suddenly broke out about 1pm in the main hold, where a lot of New Orleans cotton was stowed. The ship's fire hose was immediately arrived to give assistance within ten minutes of brought into use, and the shore fire brigade receiving the alarm. The fire spread so rapidly that the men employed in the hold barely had time to save their lives. There were soon half, a dozen powerful fire hoses in use and torrents of water were poured into the burning hold, but nobody could really get at the bed of the fire owing to the dense smoke. After a struggle lasting about three hours the fire brigade gave the steamer up and the port authorities sent the boats and pilots take the burning ship away from the quay and to sink her on the opposite side of the river. At this moment, Captain. Moller, the Commander of the ship, stepped in and asked the port anthorities to allow him to extinguish the fire by another method and to allow him to keep the vessel one hour longer at the quay, after which time he was willing to obey their orders, to have the ship sunk, if the fire was not pat out. The shore fire brigade was sent away, and the Captain with his own officers and crew, had all the hatches put on and battened down and also all the ventilators closed and then sent ashore to get fluid carbonic acid. At the same time ho bad. the steam of the ship's donkey boiler blown into the burning hold, and the fluid carbonic acid arrived, he had about eight gal lons of it thrown into the lower part of the hold through another ventilator by means of a long rubber hose. As carbonic acid is lighter than air, it rose from the bottom of the hold and took away all the oxygen the necessary nourishment for the fire, while the steam which was applied from the upper part did not allow any new oxygen to come down. Within an hour, the large fire was extinguished and the steamer was saved. The port authorities of Antwerp and especially the fire brigade men were greatly puzzled and astonished to see the wonderful power of fluid carbonic acid.Cap tain Moller really deserves great praise for using this ingenious means and displaying such presence of mind in saving his vessel-Ben bay Gazelle.

JACK'S PALACE.

THE DUKE OF FIFE LAVS THE FOUNDA TION STONE,

Limehouse was en fete, yesterday, says the Morning Ladder of the 120 ulto, Sailor Town was gay with flaga and bunting even East and West India Dock toads had partially obliterated their usual grey grime by streamers and banners fluttering in the sunshine,

And the crusion? A truly notable one for Sailor Town the public ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Sailors' Home, already christened" Jacie's Palace” by the idiom-loving East ender. And the Lord Grace the Duke of Fife, proceeded to: lay it Lieutenant of the City of London, otherwise his with all due ceremony about half-past four of the clock.

...

It seems tolerably easy to lay a foundation stone. Someone else spreads the mortar, yet another someone lowers the stone by means of machinery, the official layer gives five taps with a mallet, and all is over.

The Lord Mayor, who was "much less ap- preciated by the Limehouse crowds than his own gorgeous footmen, then proceeded to give the usual taps to a Memorial Stone, and to declare it well-and-truly-laid-

CHEERING THE "ENDY" MAN," The Handy Mas formed a very appropriate guard of honour, and did not even smile when Limehouse matron in the crowd lustily cried for "three cheers for the 'Endy Men," during the speech of that "historic personage," as the Duke of Fife called the Lord Mayor.

The National Anthem was started; distant people on distant and diverted trams stood.up and waved hat's frantically; roofs showed loyal enthusiasts waving handkerchiefs with the imminent danger of falling into the street policemen smiled indulgently on the surging crowd trying to sing “God Save the King, and to see the said King's son-in-law at The same time. And they cheered even more lustily and heartily for the "Endy Man" who was going down to the Rectory Grounds to have, a sumptuous tea.
