Wing Chung Lee sued Tan King Taung and another, the alleged partners in the firm of Chun Wn. bakers, formerly at 3 Peel Street, in the sum of $71.60, bring the balance due by the bakery to the plaintiffs on account.

Cable Communication.

New York, September 15.-The Philippines are to benefit more and more by the possession of an American cable company's wire at Manila. After a couple of years of effort the necessary permission has been obtained to extend the lines of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company to China and Japan. The landing privileges have been secured and not a day is to be wast. ed in rushing the work of laying the cables which will mean so much to all the countries connected by then.

There are a few mistakes in The Far East which may be attributed to the printer; although why the port of Newchwang should be spell "Newchwang" at pages 158, 161 and 163, and "Nieuchwang" at 167 and 168 is beyond our comprehension; however the Mr. pleasing vanety may meet all tastes. Little has the modern habit of speaking by analogy to perfection. Shansi is a second Pennsylvania; Chingking is the coming St. Louis (according to Wells Williams); Hankow bids fair to become the Chicago of the Erst; Kiangsu is the Holland of China, the Yangtse being the Rhine; Shanghai is to the Yangtse what Chatham is to the Thames; Well Wil- lians compares Shanghai to New ualeans, but Mr. Little holds that Shanghai is to China whe New York is to the United States; Osaka is Persian Paner the Manchester of Japan; Mukden is (or rather was) a small Peking, and so on. Of course these analogies all help the reader to under. stand the relative importance of the cities and districts described,

The steamship Salus left Kuchinotsu on the 27th ult. for Singapore. When she arrived off the Gotn Islands, says the Nag mabi Press, the captain discovered that some Japanese women were stowed away in the bottom of the hold. An investigation proved that there were no less than 49 women on board, enticed there by two Japanese and a Chinese, the latter a member of the ship's crew. The captain immediately returned to Kuchinotsu and reported the affair to the police. The men were arrested and charged with a violation of the Emigration Laws, and the women were handed over to their re latives. It is reported that the police inspected 'the steamer prior to her departure without dis- covering the women.

THE "SERADLER"

OFF THE ROCKS.

The German cruiser Breadler, which ran

ashore off Tree Island on Friday evening, has been got off the rocks by her own steam, says the Singapore Free Press of the rith inst. The Marudu, a North German Lloyd boat, went out on Saturday evening with the object of rendering the cruiser assistance, but when the arrived at the scene of the mishap the warship was not in need of her aid, and on Sunday morning had anchored at Pastir Pan- jang. The Commander, Capt. Puttfarcken, sent his own divers down to ascertain the extent of the damage to the Sesadler, and whether it would be necessary to dock her.

From odd sentences which crop up here and there, we find that Mr. Little has an immease il somewhat grudging admiration for the southern Chinese. In one place he say "The southerners are of purer Chinese type, and this fact is confirmed in their language of

emigrants; 70,000 are recorded as leaving the

one port of Switow annually for the Straits Settlements and beyond." But after all Mr. Little is fond of muscle; he loves the breezy uplands where "strong-limbed giants are bred, where the natives wear wadded garments all the year round.

Hongkong, we are glad to see, is "one of the most beautiful cites in the world," and

favourable comment is made regarding the afforestation scheme, The description of "China proper" taken altogether is admirable.
