THE RETREAT TO LIAO-YANG,

Reuter's St. Petersburg corespondent wires that General Routkovsky and Colonel Deraaben were killed during the retreat to Liao-Yang.

Three Russian sailors clung to the rudder of the Chihli and lines were thrown to them but they would not go on board and they were taken up by the Chinese cutter. It is surmised that the Russians would not go on board the Chihli as it was 100 near the Japanese. One of the Japanese ships sent a boat to the shore I while the other towed out the Russian ship with a wire line.

that the terms offered by the Japanese to Port Arthur were to the effect that the garrison should leave the fortress with all the honours of war, and was to be permitted to join General Kuropatkin, but the surrender of the fleet was insisted upon.

Russia's Losses. BATTLESHIPS RIDDLED WITH SHELLS.

London, 23rd August. * The Daily Chronicle's correspondent at Chefoo says that Admiral Prince Ukhtomski, who succeeded Admiral Witgert, has sent in a report of the naval battle of Fort Arthur.

The report which is dated at Port Arthur says that the Pallado had fikeen spotholes in the action on the roth inst. and the Kelvisan had eleven shotholes and fifteen torpedo tubes destroyed.

In various vessels the casualtics came to 330 wounded. The number of killed is not stated.

News from Port Arthur.

Chefoo, 23rd August.

It is stated by a refugee from the vicinity of Port Arthur that on the 21st the japanese occupied the fort on Yitseshan and the posi tions surrounding Taipingchi about a mile and a-half off the town,

It is also stated that the Japanese were be sieging Peipushan, the hill adjacent to the old

Tokio, 25th August, Two Russian destroyers struck mines yester day evening off Liaotishan; one was sunk, and the other towed into the barbour.

Chefoo, 25th August.

It is stated that nearly all the forts on the l'ort Arthur defence line are now in command of the Japanese, but as an excavation feet wide and 16 feet deep surrounds the town from the east of the railway line to Golden Hill, even if the Japanese infantry began the assault on the 23rd, it would necessitate a two days' engage. ment to reach the town, where perhaps to-day or to-morrow a hand-to-hand tight will take place.

A further two days' engagement would pro. bably be required for the capture of the last defensive position on Tiger Hill, where Gene- ral Stossel is expected to fight to the last.

Two forts at Chiaochengkou, at the end of the town, were destroyed on the 20th, and or the following day the powder magazine was blown up.

A Protest now Needless.

Tokio, 25th August. Japan has protested against China's granting the Russian men-of-war in Shanghai five more days' delay.

Capture of a French Blockade-Runner.

Tokio, 25th August. The Japanese have captured a French steamer from Port Arthur with her cargo, and she is to be brought to Sateho.

The Beauty of Patience.

Takio, 25th August.

In well-informed circles in Tokio patience as regards the capture of Port Authur is being urged. There are indications that the resist- ance will be stripborn, and the difficulties of attacking a fortress are not generally realised.

or defendant. It was true that when the matter

was before Sir Wm. Goodman he indicated that his clients should appear as plaintiffs, but there was nothing expressed in the order in the year 1895, a man named Lee Wun leased the premises in question to them for 30 years, and it was not disputed that they were in pos- session and paying rent for the premises. They had been told to get out but they would not go. They produced the lease, which prima facit was a good title. onus of disproving the validity of that docu ment lay with the other side.

KILLED BY A TRAM.

An inquest was held by Mr. Gompertz at the Magistracy this afternoon on the body of an old Chinese coolie, named Lum Luk, who was knocked down by a tram and killed on the

31st instant.

Messrs. E. C. Georg, Julius Focke and J. B. Scott constituted the jury.

The evidence of a tram conductor was to the

effect that on the day in question near Wilmer Street, deceased, who was carrying a pickaxe, walked on tothe track, and despite the fact that tre blew his whistle, and slowed down, the car

advantage of the ignorant, who probably, ou finding that only Straits dollars were legal ten- der, would sell their alien dollars to 'sharpers ' for a title of their real value. He thinks that the new order will have a beneficial effect on

trade, as business people will now know how they stand. If the ordinance against the im portation of alien dollars into the colony were repealed as soon as the alien dollars cease to be legal currency, Mr. Nicholson is of the opinion, that it would have a still more bene- ficial effect, as in the recept past-since the passing of the ordnance in question-dollars were smuggled in from outside ports to take advantage of the premina they possessed in Singapore, thus denuding of coinage the places where they came from, and thus causing much incouvenience. If the ordinance be repented, the alien dollar will be in exactly the same position as the guilder.

THE STRANDED " UNISON,"

The steamer Chefoo returned about one o'clock on Sunday morning (21st inst.) from the Mieutau 1slands, where she went, with lighters and the launch Christa, to attempt to remove the cargo from the steamer Unison which struck a rock there some days ago. The work of removing the cargo has progressed fairly well, and most of it may be saved. The steamer is still in pretty good shape, though listed heavily. Her damage has not been as certained, as with a strong current where she is lying it has not beer possible to make a thorough examination.

The cargo consists mostly of meat, potatoes, onions and condensed milk and cream.-Chefoo Daily News.

Well that action lor ejeciment was tried in 1901 before Sir John Carrington, and the trial lasted eleven days. question in dispute was the validity of the lease of 1895. The Chief Justice held that it was a valid lease for 30 years, and an existing lease, and gave judgment for his present clients.

The one

His Lordship: Then what are we trying? Mr. Pollock: That was by no means the sole

question.

Mr. Slade: That is my argument.

The record of the case was then put in as evidence.

Mr. Pollock said that all Sir John Carrington did was to find that the plaintiff had not made out his case; it was quite sufficient for His Lordship to say that plaintiff had failed.

His Lordship said Sir John Carrington had held that there was no surrender of the 1895 lease and that the lease was a good one. These were the two questions put before the

Court.

Mr. Pollack, continuing, urged that it was not necessary for Sir John Carrington to have stated that, it was not a necessary part of the

judgment. The Court was not satisfied with a monthly plaintiff's evidence that it was tenancy, but it did not follow that it was a 30 years' tenancy..

His Lordship said that there were only two conclusions for the learned judge to have arrived at, either that there ::S a lease granted in 1895, or that there had been an agreement whereby the 30 years' lease was terminated.

Mr. Pollock said there was a third possibility that the judge thought (plaintiff's evidence was not sufficient.

THE STRAITS CURRENCY.

BANKERS' OPINION.

The Straits Times of the 14th inst. prints the following editorial on the subject of the demonetisation of the alien dollars in the

Straits.

A Government Gazelle "Extraordinary," issued this morning, proclaims that the British, Mexican, and Hongkong dollars will cease to be legal currency throughout the Straits Settle- meats after Wedoesday next, the 31st inst., I and similar proclamations have, we under stand, been issued by the respective Govern ments of the various Malay States in the Federation. The announcement reads as fol.

lows;-

Notice is hereby given that after the thirty- first day of August, 1904, British, Mexican and Hongkong dollars will cease to be legal tender and will be no longer received by the Govern

ment

or by any public department. The Treasuries and Sub-Treasuries will give Straits dollars or notes for the old dollars being of full weight and unchopped, so far as their balances The Court was adjourned at 4 o'clock till to will permit, up to the date above-mentioned.

morrow at noon..

This notice is not extended, and will pro- bably result in loss to various small holders of

alien dollars, as well as considerable incon. venience to collectors, bankers and various other persons concerned, during the next six working days. Why the final advice should have been so short, it is difficult determine It would have been equally as easy to garette the date on the 1st of this month as it is to day, the 24th, and it would have conduced rather more to the convenience of the public. Possibly, however, some reason other than a whim prompts this shortness of the period given by the authorities for the demonetisation of the various alien dollars now circulating in the Colony. As stated in the Garelle, all Government Treasuries will continue te exchange the old dollars for new until Wednesday next, and the banks will con tinue to accept them at par for the same period. It is suggested to us by the Colonial Treasurer that it would greatly facilitate the general work of the demonetisation if all employers of labour would collect from their employees and servants whatever old dollars these latter may have on hand, and exchange them at the Treasury or pay them into the bank. This would materially facilitate the general scheme, and would also prevent employees baving to leave their work in order to change what few

also requested that firms and chops pay out no more old dollars, as that means keeping them in circulation. They should either bank or exchange them.
