The vessel stopped at ing a passenger boat. the native Customs Station above Shivhống tài report and proceeded on her way. Just as she was leaving Wong Kong, twelve pirates, who had come on board the passenger boat at one of the stopping places, commenced to ga though the passengers' luggage and rob them.

The passengers raised a great shour and attract- er the attention of a guard hoat which happened to be near at the time. The guard boat came alongside and her crew boarded the passenger boat, seizing six of the pirates. The remain. ing six promp:ly sprang on board the Wang Fat and, overpowering her crew,

On further questioning by the Magistrate, Mr. Crisp testdied that he understood Im Chan Ki was the owner or lessee of the premises and acted as his own contractor.

Owing to the gravity of the offense, the Magistrate fined him $100, on the first charge of beginning work without a permit, and 50 on each of the other four charges, in all $300:

TIENTSIN DAY BY DAY.

(Front Qur Own Correspondent),

TIENTSIK, January 6th. The unexpected has happened after after all and the Court is almost at the gates of Peking Tomorow the final stage of the return journey will be taken, the Court leaving Poating early in, the day and reaching Peking about noon. We do not know yet how the Empress Dowager has enjoyed her first railway journey, but one can easily imagine that she has taken a keen interest in the novelty. Some Mission- aries who were at hengte-fu and stood close to a bridge over, which the procession passed describe the Emperor as being quite listless and inattentive to everything around him, while the Dowager was keenly on the alert, spotted the foreigners at once and returned their salutations with bows and smiles. They report the people being very polite and friendly. 'Imperial Edicts issued on the 2and of the 1 moon, or January 2nd, run -

It's all over even, to the shouting! A 1.30 to-day the Court actually did enter Peking. The Emperur first, by the Chien Men or front gate, the Dowager by the West gate some bour later, where the Emperor met her as in doty

bound. It was not much of a sight as n pro cession, and as for order probably boasted little more than the exit fo eighteen months ago, differing mainly in point of speed, though it is true there were neither yellow silk chairs or banners then. Coolies, outriders, eunuchs and officials seemed to jostle each other in hideous confusion, I am told, and a terrific duststorm, which blew throughout the day, did not enhance the scenic effect, or the comfort of any concerned. It is stated that the Foregin Ministers did not adhere to their first intention to meet the Court at Machiapu, where the Imperial party alighted from the train, and if they were present at all it must have been at the Chien Men. It is to be hoped however, they upheld their dignity by remaining at home. The Chien Men was cunningly decorated with a huge frame tower, red-draped, which concealed in some measure the damage done by fire in 1900, which entirely destroyed the superstructure held sacred. Screens were put up on either side to conceal as far as possible the presence of the French and British railway terapini, but the Temple of Heaven station still demonstrated its existence and refused to blush unseen, or in fact blush at all. All foreign troops were confined to, barracks, but à goodly humber of civilians crowned the walls on either side of the Chien Men; and cameras There must have

The Emperor and Dowager alighted near the tem ple of Heaven to worship at the shrine of the God of War, and took that opportunity to return the salutions of the officials and people by bowing three times. The Dowager is said 10 have been so well made up that her face looked young and smooth, like that of a woman in her prime, though there was no apparent use of rouge and power. The Emperor is vari. ously described as imbecile looking, and
