The Empress Dowager read the Censor's memorial and naturally the accusation upon herself, as what the Chinese Minister, at Washington had done was on be- half of the Govemment, while she had laid hands on the major portion of the money for her own special benefit. The Censor is now ́in her black list, and probably will not remain much longer in Peking as such.-N. C. D.

A NOTORIOUS, BOXER" AND

REACTIONARY.

Yi Ko (Manchu), Vice-President of the Board of War, writes the native correspondent of the N.C.D. News at Peking, who, in spite of his notoriety in the capital as a reactionary, has been step by step promoted by the Empress, Dowager from a Hanlin Academist to his present bigh post within a space of not quite twenty months, is to be sent on a secret mission | by way of North Kansy to ex-Prince Tuan, owing to his (Yi Kô's) influence over and in- timacy with the former. It would appear that the Empress Dowager is so alarmed at the receipt of certain news about ex-Prince Tuan's rebellious intentions, first, against the dynasty for disinheriting his son P'u Chun, the late Heir-Apparent, and, secondly, against foreign nations to whose instrumentality he attri butes his present circumstances, that steps are being actively taken at her orders to entice the ex-Prince to some

spot where

he may be captured and placed in a posi

kong and Shanghai Bank to draw cash on a draft of $500. The two apprentices went re- peatedly to the office to get the money, and at last they gave the receipt to the bankers, telling them that they would stay in the Waiting Room and call later. While they were talking a mań was standing by listening very attentively to the conversation. After a lapse of five minutes this man approached the boys and began to talk with them and in a short time they grew friendly,. The stranger then told them that be also came to dmw some money; but

After sitting there for about half an hour the stranger said he would go and buy some food for them so he left, promising to be back in a short time. But instead of doing as he said, he ran straight to the bank. By that time the number of Niou Kib Bank was out and he stood up and falsely represented him- self as the collector sent by the Native Bank. Meanwhile, the bays in the ten-shop knew no- thing about this swindle. They returned to the bank and found some one had already drawn the money. Careful search is no being made by detectives and the apprentices have been locked up at the station pending en- quiries.-Times.

THE HSINCHOU MURDERS.

A Correspondent at Taiyuanfu writes to the N. C. D. News to point out that vigorous and sincere as the efforts of the Taolai Shen Tun ho have been to suppress the anti-foreign feel-

to succeed entirely. He says -" What hap, pened at Hainchou is dreadful beyond descrip- tion. Eight missionaries, including four ladies, were imprisoned for days, were induced to leave the Yamen on specific promises of protection, and were deliberately murdered because two small officials had looted their houses and were afraid they would be called to justice. One of these officials is dead, and and the other was allowed to return home

NEW ENGLISH POSTAGE STAMPS.

What the "shanghai TIMES” THINKS.

The new English postage stamps are now to be seen as every home.mail arrives. They bear some resemblance to the Belgian postage stamps. In the penny stamp, however, which is of the hue of a London draper's shop window illuminated with gas during a thick fog, King Edward's features are rather obscured by the prevailing mist His Majesty's expression, which is that of a police magistrate just saying "Six monthshard, "is more clearly brought out in the halfpenny article. Due to the International Postal Usinn, another injustice has been done to Ireland in using green colour for the stamp of the lowest value in current coin of the realm; also in the fact that the King's head is surrounded on one side by oak leaves and on the other by a vegetable growth which might be either lettuce, sprouts, pea pods, leaks or laurels butis certainly not shamrock. (The above expression surrounded on one side" is here used in hon r of the approach of St. Patrick's Day.) We suggest to the local St. Pathrick Society the advisability of taking up the grievance of the green half penny stamp, We have no further remarks to offer upon the subiect of the new designs, except to say that his Majesty is representedunnecessarily bald-headed, and that the crown which surmounts it is plainly a misfit, having about half the circumference of the soyal head; sish that in every country but England, figures as well as letters are used for indicating the values of the stamps.

It is generally understood that round about the Rifle Range one has merely to scratch the ground to find a corpse of something, and, we think the time has arrived when the further use of this pauper cemetery should be forbidden, and that some other spot should also be found in which to bury the various animals, which die or are destroyed. It is a pity there is no crematorium or incinerator here, but failing that it is high time a new burial whereas with the other exchange books the ground was established for paupers and animals, process would be as follows: of which the Rifle Range has already received more than its fair share.
