'AN ÚNPOPULAR DECISION. After a brief Lant between a couple of youngsters (three rounds of two minutes each) which calls for no mention, Newman and Roberts entered the ring in a ten-round contest of three minutes each round. Both men strip ped in the pink of condition, and there was no apparent advantage in weight or reach. Each tactics. In the second round, however, they warmed to their work, and some very heavy body work was put in by either, while ewman got his nose skinned as the result of a well directed blow from his opponent's left.

A CONTRADICTION."

It is officially stated in St. Petersburg that the Magna Charta report is incorrect: it was based on the following circumstances. A council of Ministers rejected a motion by M. de Witte to record its opinion regarding the incidents of the 22nd January, and to adopt measures to prevent a recurrence, M. de Witte, whose motion was minuted, there upon submitted a memorandum: to the Tsar who approved it. A council extraordinary was sitting on the 31st January to discuss the memorandum, when the question of an inquiry into the incidents of the zand Janu- ary was considered, the Minister of Finance being empowered to prepare a scheme of social legislative reform with special reference to the labour question.

3rd February.

With reference to one section of the Tar's Reform Ukase, the Committee of

Ministers have decided to recommend a series of measures limiting individual initia- tive of Ministers with the Tsar, especially with regard to alterations and suspensions of laws, and increasing the control and initia tive of the Senate in connection therewith, facilitating prosecutions of officials by private individuals for illegalities, establishing local courts in connection with the Senate, and educated juries where the loss of civil rights

is involved.

EXORBITANT CAR FARES.

TO THE EDITOR OP Tits Toyarong TaleGHAMIL." SIR,-11 does seem unfair that on the very

day when the average resident in Hongkong has an opportunity of taking a long ride on the tram car he should be charged double fares.

And the curious thing is that when he is called

upon to pay to cents for a 5 cents ride he is pot banded a 10-cent ticket but a 5-cent one. It is quite true that at home there are oc casions when double fares are charged, but the payer gets a ticket showing the amount he has paid. However, it cannot be argued the

because increased expenses may have had to be incurred by the Tramway Company it was necessary to double the fares; for the simple reason that the immense traffic done by the cars yesterday would easily cover expenses and leave a good bit over, or I'm a Dutchman, I suppose it is useless to appeal to a private. corporation to consider the public's purse in a matter of this kind, and doubtless an extra to cents here or there does not matter to the average individual, but I think this growt will not be unsupported by a good many people in Hongkong who took the cars yesterday.-1 am,

"Do I ever beat or abuse any of you?" ask, for this form of Oriental hyperbole offends

They cumport themselves in a manner wholly different from that which is their ordinary habit, and they look and act like a pack of animated china dolls. My dog, who shares his master's senti- ments, flies at them, and they break into splattering cries, like nothing so much as the twittering of frightened birds, and then fall headlong over one another in panic-driven flight. Ah Ting comes to their rescue, and welcoming them with wreathed smiles and profound bows, he leads them to the back of the bungalow. I follow round the verandah and find that the servants' quarters are decked

the better of the encounter. At length another cry of foal was raised for striking in a clinch, and the referee stopped the fight, disqualified Newman, and awarded the victory to Roberts, The decision was received with cheers, and counter cheers, with much honting and cries of derision. Newman and his second loudly protested against the verdict, and offered to fight his man over again, at any time, for stake. The referee's decision was undoubtedly wrong, and our opinion is shared by all im- 1 am left to my work, somewhat ruffled in partial observers. It was most unfortunate, my feelings, for I pride myself upon always inasmuch as it brought to a close what treating my people as human beings should be promised to be a highly interesting, en-treated, and it is galling to me to be asked not counter, as both men were "going for it," and each bad a proper knowledge of his business.

he recites the formula. I cut him short with a promise, and he removes himself, with flat a footed dignity, to the servants' quarters at the

rear of the bungalow.

A LITTLE MERRIMENT.

Then followed a merry little entertainment, Marriott and Sutcliffe, light-weights of H.MS. Tamur, engaging in a six-round bout of a couple of minutes each round. The "men were willing, if the pace was killing," fairly describes this item. The men went for each other hammer and tongs, Marriott creating much laughter by his furious antics, and wind mill-like blows. Mr. Manser, of H.M.S. Ven geance, refereed and gave the verdict to Mar- riott, who, if he has no particular science, has plenty of life and agility, and the bout did much to restore the tranquility of the specta tors, and prepare them for the event of the

evening,

CHRISTIE V KING.

This was a fifteen-round contest of three minutes each, King being described as the middle-weight champion of the Regi. ment. He certainly entered the ring in fine feltle, his muscular development be ing much admired. Christie was likewise in good trim, whilst his previous record in the ring here, is too well-known to require com- ment. Mr. J. Burke was in this event appoint. ed referee, Mr. J. D. Logan once more appear- ing in his familiar role of time keeper, The first round witnessed some very pretty orna- mental sparring, until just on time, Christie rushed in and floored the soldier. The suc

ceeding rounds saw Christie persistently forc ing the game, and although King was' as cool and calm as a man could be he was kept main- ly on the defensive, and very rarely opened

out. It was

in employ methods of which I disapprove on principle. Ah Ting, however, is no waster of words. He knows what he is about. The nerves of the "Red-headed Foreign Devils," whom he and his Hai-Lam fellows serve and rule, are tricky, incomprehensible, unhandy things. Even after years of experience, of study of them, a human being (for 10 Ah Ting and his comrades Chinese alone are altogether human) does not know quite where to have them. One may run right up against them, come into violent collision with them, without reason and at unsuspected moments. They are incon- sequent, becoming acutely irniated without on New Year's Day will be fraught with fearful cause, and since their untoward exacerbation results, it is only fair to warn the Devil of the flouse that he owes it to his superiors to main tain his calm unruffled upon this occasion. Also Ah Ting, who is something of an observer, has noticed in the past as a fact, at once in explicable and undeniable, that the Chinese New Year is apt to have a peculiar effect upon the temper of the Red-Headed Ones. This, he thinks, is probably due to the sheer perversity of their semi-human nature, and, though he may pity it, it cannot win his approval. It is his business, therefore, as the head of the household, to take such precautions as may suggest themselves to his prudence.

The incident passes from my memory, and go to bed, after an unusually heavy day's work, dog-tired and aching for sound sleep. I am troubled with dreams. I fancy that I am steaming down the Straits of Sunda, when suddenly I find myself sitting on the top

MASONIC QUADRILLE CLUB'S

MONTHLY DANCE

The Masonic Hall, Zetland Street, presented once again a gay and lively appearance on Friday night last, the occasion being the fourth of the very popular series of dances given under the auspices of the Masonic Quadrille Club. There were over one hundred couples present at une time, and dancing was kept up with great spirit. until a very late, or rather early, hour on Saturday morning, arrange-

ments having been made for special late ferries for the convenience of guests from Kowloon. The arrangements were excellent, and the floor, one of the best in the colony, under the care of Mr. J. Vanstone, was in the pink of perfection for dancing purposes, while the mu sic seemed to have a mesmeric effect upon the feet of the "trippers on the light fantastic toe,"

From a climatic point of view, it was an ideal

sight for such a function, as the dancers were

able to keep going without getting unpleasant-
