OFFICIAL MURDER BY CHINESE IN HONGKONG,

The news conveyed in the telegram from our

correspondent in Hongkong that we publish inst.) that the murderer of the school teacher this morning, (says the N. C. D. News of 235

in Hongkong more than two years ago has been convicted there and sentenced to death, will be learnt with great satisfaction. A more cold-blooded murder for political purposes was never perpetrated. The victim was killed at his desk, while engaged in teaching a class of Chinese boys, by a ruhan who had gained access to the room, a paid assassin of the Chi- nese government. It was believed at the time

at the teacher was killed because he was a reformer. Satisfactory as it is to see that the actual instrument of the savage duplicity of the authorities at Canton has been caught and will be punished, it to be hoped that sooner or later his superiors, who

London, 20th May. Lord fosebery, speaking at Burnley, said that he questioned the possibility of framing any practical scheine of preferential tariffs, but pending the publication of the details of Mr. Chamberlain's policy, he would preserve an open mind. He did not regard Free Trade as a divine dispensation.

The Australian Press is disinclined to endorse Mr. Chamberlain's preferential policy.

Replying to the Corean government's pro- tests as to timber-cutting on Pengma, and the settlement of Russian subjects at Yongampho. the Russian Minister at Seoul has replied 'curtly that Russian subjects are exercising privileges acquired under the lumberconcession of 1896, and are therefore entitled to the protec- tion of the Coleat government.

CONDITIONS AT PORT-ARTHUR.

A Japanese report from Port Arthur states that cocetns of coal are stored there at pre- sent and 40,00 tons at Dalny. The Russian authorities intend to store 30,000 or 400,000 tons of coal at these ports. At the last call of the Thiren Maru at Port Arthur there were ten coal carriers in that port, of which three vessels were British, loaded with Cardiff coal. A large number of junks were also in the port and these were all loaded with hay and proven der for horses. The Russian warships which (according to the information received on board were formerly anchored inside the harbour

the Tairen Mari) had all removed to anchor- ages outside the harbour. Four torpedo des- troyers are in course of equipment at present and three others are in course of construction. One warship was a dock.

SHANGHAI SHARE REPORT.

The following extracts of the week's share transactions are from Messrs. J. A. Sullivan & Co.'s report published on the 20th inst.

The successful manipulation of the beats in the early portion of the week ran our markets for Indos and Langkats down to an alarming point but the determined buying of the op posite faction has brought about a reaction during the past few days and has carried rates up to former quotations. To-day there is a slight full and the tone of the market is quiet, with an inclination to realize at present prices. The strained conditions of our native money market curtails financial facilities and there is not any freedom in buying cash shares, but speculation for futures is dangerously rife and may cause considerable trouble during the next few months.
