SOME UNFAIR RUMOURS have been circulating concerning Prince Chun, says the L and C. Express. It was said that the Prince, when leaving Bale, in Switzerland, had forgotten to pay his hotel expenses. The director of the hotel, however, Mr. Blecher, has energetically contradicted this statement. It appears that the Imperial Chinese diplomat bad left Bale at

o'clock at night when the banks were closed, but the next day everything was squared by the telegraphic order of Prince Chun, who, during the whole of his stay in Germany, behayed with perfect propriety. Mr. Blecher, in his declaration, adds that many a European Prince might do well to take an example from the Chinese Prince and his followers.

On that day she was, after waiting for the clearing up of a thick fog till 3.30 p.m., about to steam out of the port when a German steamer, the Elba, came in through the fog. Presently the two vessels ran into each other, the German having her how completely broken. The damage of the Kaga Maru, however, was not so serious and after two days in dock she was all right.
