(N. C, Daily News.) News from Port Arthur.

Chefoo, 20th July, A trustworthy Japanese who bas arrived from Dalny states that the Japanese troops are now preparing for the bombardment of Fort Arthur, and are occupying several important positions round it; but the general attack will not begin yet. The skirmishes that take plare daily are only defensive fights against the Russian at

office downstairs. I think the shareholders will see the force of that argument. It would be unwise to let it get into the papers, as it might interfere with the sale (applause.)

There were no further questions, and the following resolutions were then put and carried unanimously without comment :---

Proposed by the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Prentice: That the report and accounts of the company, mide up to the 30th of April last, as printed and circulated, be adopted and A severe battle took place about the 12th approved; and that the directors be authorised inst at a point about six miles from Fort Arthur. to pay a dividend at the rate of Taels 7 per The Japanese casualties ware 350, but the Rus-share to the shareholders on the register at this sian losses were much heavier.

It is, however, pointed out that the gravest question is still the status of the Volunteer cruisers. The Telegraph understands the Russian Government has been informed that the cruisers will be treated as pirates if they refuse to desist from intertering with British shipping.

On the 16th instant, his Excellency sent on ahead of him a large force of well-armed troops, well provided with quickfiring artillery, with instructions to await his coming in the vicinity of Wachow. It is further stated that while in Kwangsi province his Excellency intends to pay special attention to the effective patrolling of the Kwangsi Tongaing frontier, in order to prevent insurgents from crossing into French territory and so causing international compli-

THE LIUCHOW FIGHT.

The taking of the city of Liuchow by the brigade of mutinous troops a few weeks ago, as already recorded was, as now reported in a Wuchow, Kwangsi despatch, followed by the discriminate massacre by these soldiers, assisted by local desperadoes, of most of the city officials and a number of the gentry of the city, a few of the wealthiest of whom, however, had their lives spared in order that a ransoni might be demanded from their unlucky families. After plundering and slaying for forty-eight hours, the mutineers decided to abandon Lie- chow for the bills by invitation of the insurgents holding those fasinesses. An idea may be formed of the amount of loot taken by inese savages on their departure from Liuchow, says the N. C. D. News, when it is stated that they compelled no less than 4,500 of the inhabitants to carry their plunder for them. Among other barbanties the mutineers are said to have taken more than 800 oníartunate women and girls with them to the bills.

The P. & Times says that Marshal Su is to be sent back to Kwangs to redeem his character by another attempt to suppress the rebellion.

Inspector of Schools regarding the results of the Italian Convent School. Notwithstanding that, as I would admit, there is still room for improvement, yet I think we have good reason to be satisfied with the result of our work, hear ing as we do from this report that the discipline and organisation are excellent and the school thoroughly efficient. Mr. Irving in his report says: "There has been a most praiseworthy attempt by the staff of this school to remodel the teaching in accordance with modern ideas, This attempt has been most successful in the lower standards. It will be seen below that the higher standards are not equally 'satisfactory but they can only be expected to improve gra. dually until they are filled by scholars who have had a better grounding according to the new method adopted. In the Infant School, kinder- garten work has been successfully introduced. Regarding Standards 1-111, history is being taught very well in the form of story-telling, But I think that rather too much work is being put an Standard I. where it had better be dropped.-It will be dropped (Laughter), Arithmetic is taught up to decimals in Standard III.
