A traveller from Manchuria says that Russia has built a lime of Custom Houses beyond her Siberian Frontiers to the extent of 100 miles, notwithstanding her open declaration which she made to the Powers at the beginning of the Boxer uprising that she would not take advantage of the Boxer complications to obtain territorial advantages. Her recent movements tend to show a permanent occupation of the

PIRACY IN 1901.

In his annital report for last year the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police says

BREACH OF QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.

On the 1st Instant in the Danish Consular Court, Bangkok, before the Acting Consul (Mr. A.-G. Lyssakovsky) and the Vice Consul (Mr. W. F. Jacobsen), a charge was heard of breach of the Quarantine regulations, preferred by the Medical Officer of Health against Mr. F. Haged, master pilot of Bangkok.

The nature of the offence was that he went on board the 9.3. Diamante lying outside the Bár, and went from there on board the 5.8. Singapore along with the captain of the Diamante before the latter vessel had com-

plied with the regulations; The Diamante had
