LEGEND OF THE * PETRO- 605-PAVLOVSKA, SAUN
The Moskovski Listok, states the Chronicle, contains a curious. legend contributed by a correspondent who heard it in the village of
Talitsa.
The story purpons to be the experience of a dives who went down to the bottom of the sea to inspect the sunken Petropavlovsk. He saw Admiral Makaroff and his officers and sailors all standing do the deck of the ill-fated battle- ship, together with Father Alexis, the priest, who went down with her. They were singing, and praying for the Czar, crying. Lord have vanished, and the diver was left alone with Father Alexis, who drew nearer to him and

claiming the reward. The scheme was car ried out, and the body of the unfortunate victim, foully murdered in a house in Des Voeux Road, was smuggled out of the Cokay and, thanks to the complicity of Admiral Ho, conveyed to Canton on a Chinese gunboat. When the crime was dis. covered and this daring violation of British territory by Admiral Ho made clear, the matter was at once referred by the Gover, nor, Sir Henry Blake, to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, by whom a demand for immediate satisfaction was dispatched to Peking. From the papers laid before the Legislative Council, we learn that as a result of the attitude adopted by our Gov. ernment ample satisfaction has been given by the Chinese Authorities.

THE SUEZ CANAL.
EFFECT OF THE war upon THE TRAFFIC.
They rapist of the administrative council, which was to be presented on June 17th to the general meeting of shareholders of the Suez Canal, sjotes that the receipts for the financial
year 193have increased to 1c6,875,865f. and the total expenditure to 41,396,518f. The surplus of the receipts over the expenditure exceeds the profits of the preceding financial year by 901,8276. Two circumstances, in parti- 418cular, have comsibuted to the increase in the traffic. The first, and the most important is 187 3 7 the splendid wheat harvest in India. The second is the increase in the export of coal-and various supplies from Europe for the Far East during the last quarter of the year in anticipa. otion of the outbreak of war between Russia' and Japan.
