The air has naturally been slightly ugated by rumours of war and speculation on Russo- Japanese u ovements, and what was considered "a good joke" was circulated in the Club the other day, namely, that the Hongkong Authori- ties had bought up every ounce et coal in the Colony and the Russian fleet could procure none. Another version of the story substituted "a private syndicate" for Colonial authorities, but the moral of the sta y remained the same, that the Russians could get no cual A few of us saw something more than a joke in the story ; a quite possibly sinister, object Jesson We also heard that Russia in her turn had cleared up all the available fuel in Chefoo, but as this only amounted to some 30, 00 ions it was not alarming.
As matters now and it seems extremely likely that huraia will entirely crawl down or paper, and that her absolute withdrawal from demands (and Manchuria) will be and unced in capital letters in the House. She will never- theless not budge an inch sive perhaps in the matter of Newchwang, and the Dual Alliance will be under the necessity of using force or figuring in the long list of Russia's "b.fooled," Finances in the city, although there is much talk of reform, and the recent edict is supposed to comprehend much, are still at dead lo`k, and business remains aralized. The Viceroy sent a dispatch to the leading officials that native orders were formerly used in addition to bank notes in lieu of silver, and the method is approved by business me. But since the trouble owing to the scarcity of silver, when such orders are cashed discounts have been allowed, and unscrupulous persons have made, profit therefrom. This discount went as far as 30% and in this way the native orders became discredited. I then issued potice stopping these orders, and this system of discount was thereby broken up, I now authorize these native orders to be used again, but neither discount or premium must be allowed, and all the depart. meats must make this known to the merchants.'
All this is, of course, mero talk and does not affect the main fact of there belog no silver. To relieve the people: somewhat The Taxation Department, Tientsin, has issued a notice that "1. Sinall dealers passing isin stations with goods of less than $ics all be exempt from all charges.

The fine was arbitrarily imposed, it is alleged, on the mere report of certain Customs officials. The master and agents of the vessel refused to pay the fine and asked for an investigation.

It appeared that in the year 1897 plaintiff was a navy contractor in Manila and had a number of steam launches plying He desired to extend the service and ordered fournew launches from aChinaman,and ordered the engines and boilers for them from Messrs, Riley Hargreaves through their Manila agents Galen and Fuster. These engines it was alleged were never delivered, and the plaintiff's claim in all probability amounts to a rough sum of about $150,000. For two of the launches they claimed at the rate of $40 each day, and for another at the rate of $50 per day. Evidence as to the earning powers of the launches would be derived from a chatter party, and from sums actually paid by the Quarter Master General of the American Army at Dagopan for the use of the larger launch, whenever it was possible to use it. 'The claims for the damages on the smaller launches were calculated from March 1,1898, the date of contract delivery, to April 30, 1901. For the larger launch, which at one time was used by the American Government, they claimed at the rate of $1,500 per month.
