Resignation of the load Master of Eton.

LONDON, 18th October.

The Rev. Edmond Warre, the headmaster of Eton, has intimated that he will resign at

midsummer.

The War:

Reuter's correspondent with General Oku, wiring on the 15th inst., says, it is believed that the Russians intend to make a stand at the Hun River. The Japanese propose to force an entrance to Mukden as soon as possible.

The Thibet Treaty. Reuter's Agency learns that there is every probability of the British occupation of the Chumbi Valley continuing for seventy-five years, while the indemnity is being paid at the rate of a lakh a year.

It transpires that the Amban refused to sign the treaty at the last moment, saying that the sovereignty of China was not suf- ficiently recognised; he was thereupon told that sovereignty also meant responsibility, and moreover that Great Britain had not spent a million for nothing,

THE LILLIPUTIANS AT THE CITY HALL.

"THE GEISHA."

There was a crowded house last night at the City Hall to witness the production of "The Geisha" by the Lilliputians. Since the open- ing night, the children have warmed to their work, and things run now as smoothly as ever. It would be waste of time and space to attempt a description of this fascinating musical comedy, so familiar to English speaking people through. out the world. Suffice it to say, that it loses none of its idyllic charm in the hands of the Pollards. Last night's performance saw the midgets at their best, and the prolonged applause amply testified to the appreciation of those present, All new dresses, and pretty scenery, if seen at a disadvantave with such skimpy stage room, the children positively revelled in their work, and the piece went from start to finish without a hitch. Miss Daphne Pollard, as Mollie Sea- more, was in her element, finding more genuine scope for the display of her remarkable abilities than the has even in the "Rells of New York," The toy duct, admirably sung and danced, in company with smart little Leah Leichtner was encorednoless than four times, and both artistes were presented with beautiful floral tributes Miss Eva Moors made a captivating O Mimore San, and was particularly happy in her tender ing of the "Jewel of Asia,” -

WHAT IS CONTRABAND 1

IMPORTANT TO HONGKONG SHIPPERS. The Chief Justice (Sir Henry S. Berkeley) was arraigned before Mr. H. H. J. Gomperts, an application this morning, fraught with on a charge of breach of the harbour rules, in great interest to Hongkong shipping men, rais. that he attempted to leave this harbour with ang, as it did, the all-important question as to number of Chinese passengers on board with whether foodstuffs can be described as con- out reporting the fact of the presence of pastraband of war. sengers to the Harbour Master when applying for this por clearance.

Capt. Helms of the E. and A. s.s. Empir, which arrived from Australian ports to-day, reports that he get instructions at Thunday Island to be on the lookout for two Russian cruisers which were sighted 40 miles from Thursday Island one having been ashore on Cook's Reef and was towed off by the other.bour On arrival at Port Darwin he got information that the Admiral on the Australian station bad despatched two cruisers from Sydney to in- vestigate the inatter,

THE COOLIESHIP “SWANLEY"

AGROUND.

TWO THOUSAND COOLIES MAROONED.

The ss. Swanley 1,900 tons, of London, arrived at Singapore on the 11th inst, leaking and with pumps going. This is one of the vessels employed in the coolie trade between South Africa and China. She left Ching Wang Tao on Sept. 24 and touched at West Island, and all went well till the seventh of the present month when she suddenly ran nground on an uncharted reef in the Natupas istands rather to the south of the group. Every effort was mide to get the ship off, but they were une availing and it was then decided to land the coolies. Of these there were 2,160 on bnard

and after the inevitable bother of getting the Chinese coolic to do what be is wanted to they were all got off safely, -Provisions and supplies sufficient for a month were then sent ashore, and everything possible was done to make the enforced maroonment as easy as pos sible. There was one European lady and three children on board and these the Captain overseer and the third officer of the Swanley decided to bring on. Two doctors, the coolie

were left on the island to look after the coolies, a task they will probably find far from enviable tt was then found that probably owing to this extensive lightening of the ship, together with the influence of a high tide, that the ship was coming off, being considerably damaged. So bad in fact was her condition that the Captain presumably did not deem it safe to bring the with the before mentioned European officers. passengers, and, the coolies were left behind Captain Dawson then bropght his ship safely into barbour here, says the 8. F. Pre‹s, but she seems to be in a bad condition and will have

to be docked as soon as possible. The Swanley has done a previous voyage to Africa, with cooli-s and has landed her living freight safely, and this is the first of these ships to come to grief as far as we can recall. They have since the beginning taken the Suada Straits route, and it appears that the ship in this case was taking the southern channel, by the Philippines It is probable as most of these coolies are said to be advance men, that there will be a good many attempts to escape.

The Agents, Mesars. Paterson Simons and Co., are on the look-out for the s.3. Ascos, coming back from Durban, and expected here in a few days and she may be sent to the Natunas to take the coolies on to the Cape. The Swanley went alongside the wharf on the tath inst, preliminary to being: docked.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR AND

THE NAVY.

Mr. Melver, Boarding Officer from the Har Master's office, for the prosecution, stated that on the 17th ult. he was going down the harbour in his launch in his regular routine, when he saw the Samsen heaving up her anchor, and preparing for sea. He went alongside ind got on board and found that there were some three hundred Chinese passengers there with tickets for Swatow. The Captain was on the bridge, and the port anchor was hove up and the men were heaving on the starboard anchor, while the starboard gangway was also hauled up, the ship presenting all the appear- ance of being about to proceed to sea. Upon inspecting the ship's papers he found no men- tion was made in the port clearance of any passengers being carried. When he interviewed

possible so as to reach Swatow at daylight the next day. He was on the bridge when the Boarding Officer went on board because it is a roomy place, unusually large and a proper deck. Shortly after the officer left the steamer he received the ship's papers from the agents, and among them was a statement of the num ber of passenger tickets they had issued, and in half an hour' after that he would have

Erich Dreud, second officer of the Sam. sen, was called for the defence; but he was so bazy about the facts as to times and dates and so forth, as to render his evidence worthless. Mr Melver, re-called, stated that the captain was on board and on the bridge, and every- thing showed that the ship was on the point of sailing. He did not notice if the steamer was flying the "blue peter," but the harbour rules require that all vessels should fly it 24 hours

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS.

OF CHINESE CHILDREN,

Plans of the school buildings have been pre- pared, and are well understood. in the lowest class we received such replies as "That is a plan of the ground floor of Queen's College, Sir," "The steps are made of wood." Colour- ed pictures as subjects for conversation lessons have only just been obtained.

In a word, we find here boys who at the end of their first term have acquired a considerable | vocabulary, a fair pronunciation and (above all) perfect willingness to talk.

In class VII the improvement was not so marked, but still great. And it must be re- niembered that though this class has been learning English for years, it has only had the benefit of the new method for 5 or 6 months. A map of the city has been studied; and such answers as "Queen's Road is coloured green," That building is the City Hall, Sir,” were readily given. Here again it was at once evi- dent that the boys were accustomed to being addressed and to replying in English. Class VIIC were not always very attentive.

During the early hours of this morning two Chinese children died under, circumstances that are at present shrouded in mystery. It appears that during yesterday afternoon, the two children, a buy aged eleven years, and a girl aged twelve, were playing about the streets in the vicinity of their parents' house, No. 144 Queen's Road West, then being in the best of health. They returned home as usual, about 5.30 p.m., for their evening meal, of which they partook heartily, with fourteen other dwellers in the house, the food consisting of rice and fish, all of which was prepared at the same time. About half an hour after The classes VI and V, under Chinese must- finishing their "chow" the children were sud- ers in independent charge, have also made a denly taken ill, complaining of pains in the very striking improvement.
