CASES' FOR INVESTIGATION.
NATURALIZED BRITISHERS IMPRISONED.
L
During the course at the past week we have had occasion to investigate certain reports made to us concerning the apparent hardship being shown by officials of the Chinese govern- ment to maturalized British subjects. It is matter of common knowledge that aims, am. munition, gunpowder, and military and naval stores, and any article which H. E. the Governor may judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Naval stores are not permitted to be exported from here into China, and the Chinese government have likewise issued a decree prohibiting their import, unless with authority. In fact the Viceroy of Canton seems to have been taking special measures to see that the terms of the decree were faithfully carried out, while the Imperial Maritime Cus- toms have likewise been exercising every vigi Lance in searching the baggage and belongings of passengers. It is in this latter connection that trouble has arisen owing to the arrest wed imprisonment of naturalized British subjects. The facts, of one case, so far as we have been able to gather are as follows:-Lim Ab Cheung, a man now over forty years of age, went to
Australia when quite young, and, in 1815, be- came a naturalized British subject, residing in the Commonwealth ever since, with the excep tion of occasional short visits to China to see his relatives. On the 14th of September fast he again left Melbourne, in the s.s. Empire, and

along the Western part of the bank and after going along the northern part left the bank' just as darkness set in. Soundings were taken at intervals during the time the ship was on the bank. At noon of this day, I made an attempt to find the drift of the ship by anchoring a life-buoy and allowing the
ship to drift for half an hour. I failed to locate the buoy again but know the ship must have drifted more than a mile to about S.S.W., because she drifted right off the bank the buoy was anchored on. Believing that the Legaspi would, if broken down, use a sea anchor; estimated the drift on one knot per hous, and after leaving the bank, laid courses that would intercept her between the bank and Palawan

The Hamburg-America Line are building two large fast steamers for the Shanghai- Tientsia trade.
The room for conjecture is illimitable; deductions seemingly logically prosented, can be set forth advocating almost any theory.
In the midst of all the conjectures and suspi- cions there is one man who is hoping almost against hope that perhaps some one of them may turn out to be true, and he is Señor Yribar, the owner of the ship, and the father of her captain,

RETROSPECT OF STOCKS AND SHARES FOR 1904.
Although the result of the annexed table shows an appreciation for all stocks deak in Shanghai in 1904, of over 81 millions of Taels, it will be found in estimating by a rough calculation the proportion which belongs to
us that we only credit ourselves with about tz per cent of this, or say under one million, as the principal stocks which give the greatest appreciation belong to Hongkong, and those which show the greatest foss are Shanghai stocks. Indo-Chinas should have brought us

THE MYSTERY OF THE "LEGASPL" The 'speculations as to the fate of the Legaspi grow more involved as lime passes
and nothing is heard of the steamer,
The latest, says the Cablenews of the 7th inst., is to the effect that she sailed laden with ammunition for some mysterious port in
northern Luzon, and a circumstance in con- nection with the rumour is the fact that Col- lector Shuster admits having received word from Hongkong that she left that port with
considerable munitions of war on board.
A ship captain said that the supposition was altogether unreasonable, and the vitality with which the rumour that the Legaspi is still afloat survives, almost argues that some individual
fenders, brave and gallant as they were, must yield to their assailants the palm for tenacity, resources, splendid courage, and everything included in the widest meaning of the word "heroism." Further, Port Arthur was more than a fortress; in taking it the Japanese wipe nul a bitter memory of unmerned defeat sus- tained ton years ago at the hands of the tripin combination; they crase the stigma fixed on them as a mere Oriental country and not entitled to rank with the supercilious West; moreover, they destroyed the great pal pable symbol of Russian power and supre- macy in the Far East." The Timer con- cludes by saying that the fall of Port Arthur means the attainment by the Japanese of a seconil great object of the campaign. They of it. have destroyed the Pacific Fleet and are now free to deal with the Baltic Fleet if it ventures into Far Eastern waters; they have destroyed Russian prestige, and although the Japanese have not yet reached Mukden they cannot fail to have affected, the general Russian position very profoundly. As to Russia herself this Sir have the honour to report that, in great disaster, coming shortly after the disobedience to your orders of the twenty-third in appointment of the Cear's reform manifesto, can hardly tend to allay the rising discontent.

PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUILDINGS ORDINANCE, A reply from the Government respecting the proviso to sub-section 3 of section 188 of the above Ordinance of 1903 was laid on the table. It reads as follows: With reference to your letter, No. 375 of the 7th ult., I am directed to inform you that the interpretation placed by Government on the provisa to sub-section 3 of the Public Health and Building Ordinance of 1903 is as follows-
r. A house fronting such a street as described may in any case be re-erected to a height equal to one and a half times the width of the street. thould the existing house exceed that height, but not exceed double the width of the street, it may be re-erected to the same height
as at present.

in value of Langkats is due to the fight for supremacy which unhappily took place between the Burmese and Langkat Com. panies resulting in cut-throat prices, but we are given, to understand that an amicable atrangement has now been arrived at by which each will confine itself to its own territory. The loss on the Shanghai and Hongkew Wharf Co.'s shares is due principally to the bad trade caused by the war and also to the submergence of part of the Tun Ka Doa pro- perty. Now that Port Arthur has fallen a revival of trade is confidently expected in the spring and a different result is hoped for in market quotations at the end of this year. Con-
sidering difficulties caused by exchange, the vagaries of which have puzzled our most astute Bankers, and the immense influence that the late rise of silver has had upon, our market, the out-turn for 1904 may be considered fairly satisfactory. The depreciation in debentures proves how difficult it is to prevent money from being remitted home at the present high exchange with the result that our local, loans
are neglected.
