THE WRECK NEAR SWATOW..
NOT A STEAMER.
When the C. N S. Hangyong arrived at Shanghai from Hongkong, she reported that the wreck off Kupchi Point, is not that of a steamer but of a 1 rge junk, the mat of which projects about 15 feet out of the water. The exact position is Long. 116 245 E., I.al. 22 43 45 N., Kupchi Point bearing N. 26 E, distant 6 miles, in a depth of 15 fathers. Soundings over the hull of the wreck indicate 13 fathoms. The other masts may be still standing, but if so, are under water. A flag (Blue Peter) was nail. ed to the mast to make it as conspicuous as possible and could be seen in a calm for 4 miles. The wreck, lies beading S.S.E. It would be right in the track of vessels passing four miles off Breaker Point and steering for Waglan, and is a serious danger to navigation.
-MUSIC AT THE THEATRE.
"HANSA" BAND PERFORMANCE,
Yesterday evening the band of S.M.S. Hansa gave ano.hef" orchestral performance in the Theatre Royal, at which Herr Bertram directed the fortunes of a concert devoted entirely to foreign composers. The dress circle was crowded, and the audience listened with rapt attention to a selection of pieces played with perfect sympathy and a great deal of musi cianly feeling. Wagner's Tannhauser and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 11, were ren- dered with singular success. It was certainly a great undertaking on the part of Herr Bertram in present such items with so small an orchestra as was at his disposal, but so easy appeared the mastery of the performers over their instru- menis and so responsive their emotions towards the music of his choice that it certainly struck us ar being quite extraordinary that should accomplish such great things as he mainly did in the Bungarian Rhapsody. It was com mented on, however, that the impressiveness of the two items was almost entirely last when, as an encore to the for.ner, a Cake walk was rattled off, while at the close of the performance an equally marked diversion was rendered prior to the playing of the British National Anthem. However, these were exceptions which Mr. Bertram will doubtless bear in mind should he again be called upon to play publicly in Hongkong and we have the pleasure of listening.
THE PLAGUE,
sionary General, Kashitarinsky, and the commanders of the 11th and 19th Infantry Regiments, and the Artillery Battalion of Sharpshooters were killed. Many other su- perior officers were also killed or wounded.
Many refugees subsequently returned and
surrendered.
The total number of prisoners taken was: 30 officers, and 300 non-commissioned officers and men. Details of losses are under investigation."

Whether the 1888 for the Russians are likely to surrender Harbin easily may be gathered from an account of its build ing. Harbin is on the Sungari river, at the point where the Manchurian branch of the Siberian railway meets the Chinese eastern branch which runs down to Port Arthur. It is about 350 miles west of Vladivostock and about as far from Port Arthur as John of Groat's is from Land's End: It may be said to be the geographical centre of Manchuria, and is sur-mouth of the Sehur River. rounded on all sides for hundreds of miles with

There is plenty of timber and much mineral wealth Here, in this land of promise, the Russians have built them a city-and he that in the twentieth century buildeth a city is greater than he that ruleth his own soul. Harbin has sprung into being in much the same way as Daloy. Magnificent buildings are either finish. ed or near completion, and the place is as dia- tinctly a Russian city as though it were located in the heart of European Russia. The land for many miles in each direction has been secured to make it impossible for any foreign influences to secure a profit or foothold, and foreigners are not recognised as having any right whatever.
In 1930 Harbin began to assume importance as a railway centre and junction; in 1901 the population had grown to 12,000 Russians; 1902 to 20,000; by May, 1903, to 44,000; and in October last a census showed a population of

ON THE FRENCH SHORE
in exchange for the abandoned fishing rights, France obtains three concessions regarding territory in West Africa. Under the terms of the first, there is to be a territorial re-adjust. ment on the Zambesi, giving France access to the portion of the river navigable by ocean- going ships; under the second, France secures
the six Los Islands, and under the third there
is to be a readjustment of the frontier line between the River Niger and Lake Tchad, giving France a route through the fertile country.
In the case of Siam, the two countries con- firm the Declaration of 1896, determining its precise meaning, with regard to pre-existing differences.
With regard to the New Hebrides, the gov craments agree to appoint a commission, which will decide the land disputes between the
inhabitants.
Mr. McNeill, for plaintiff, submitted that the contract as between defendants and plaintiff was before them, in that Bill of Lading, and it was for his Lordship to decide how far the de- fendants had carried it out, and how far they were protected in regard to what they had not carried out. He submitted that it was suffi. cient for plaintiff to prove a prima facie case of the shipment of 55 chests of opium and after wards to prove to the Court the short delivery of half the contents of one chests.
Subsequently Mr. McNeill explained that the cargo was transhipped at Hongkong, and one ebest brought forward in a different ship,
