The Nanikan was moired to a buoy, and some distance' off the Shahjahan was lying at anchor. When the former went adrift she was carried, by wind and tide in the direction of the Shahfskan and a collision "reemed imminent. For (unslely the crew of il a Namıkan were on the ater, and managed to get the anchor over board before coming into contact with the Shahjahan, but it was a narrow escape, and created considerable excitement among those who witnessed from the shore the uncontrolled moviments of the vessel,

It will be remembered that when the salvage: party which was sent to inspect the stranded steamer Cao Bang at Pulo Canton and report as to the possibility of salving the vessel, re- urned to Hongkong, they expressed themselves rongly of the belief that successful salvage operation could be carried out. On the relure Juurney the engineers drew up estimates of the cost of refloating the Cao Bang and they caine

the conclusion that the operations would involve an expenditure of £80,000, which would include repairs and refitting the vessel for That report was presented to the Hongkong Salvage Syndicate and there the matter lesin. It is understood that the members of the Syndi- cato have been considering the question of offering to undertake the salving of the steamer,

Peking, 22nd January.

Russian Minister has 'protested against China-Japan Treaty, on the ground that a's proclamation of the opening of Harbin Greign trade is a menudé, in Russia's com- rcial interests.

►

Mr. Pokotiloff also protests that China's in- ition to cancel the concession given to the so-Chinese Corporation undertaking the amber business in Kinn and Heilungkiang provinces, on the plea that the term has ex•· pired; is unjust, in view of the fact that China has allowed Japan to cut timber in the forests along the Yals as join enterprise of China and Japan.

Mr. Pakotiloff insists that China must allow Russia to build a branch railway to Heilung- kiang, since China has given Japan the right to build a branch line to Antunglsien.

Defendant said he was a. lieutenant in the

12th Baluchis. Plaintiff had been a repoy in the 27th, and about three years ago he came to defendant and said he could not get any work, and asked defendant if he could give him. work. Defendant took him on and appoint- ed in his syce. He brought him to Hong. kong. In India he paid him zo rupees, and when he got to China he sail that would find out what was the custom here and pay him 'accordingly. He had paid the man up to the, 7th-inst. And his private accounts would shew it. On the Bili, inst., a Sunday, plaintiff came and asked defendant to check over his cluties and he did so the same day, but had a lot of trouble in getting all the einhes from him. Plaintiff said he could not live on $20, and this other thy paid $33'

mth, and mentioned Licul. Usher one. When defendand asked Lieut. Usher he said it was all a lie. ^-

Crass-examined by Mr. Gardiner, witness, said it was quite true that he hat had some

debis in india, but no bad ones and had paid them off. He had hormowed 1,090 rapees from Messrs. Grindlay, Groom and Co. to cover his expenses on going up for his examination, but had paid that off. He had sime debts here-nothing more than the twual subaltern's debts. He had paid plaintiff regularly and did not know why he brought the suit.

His Honour: Ask the plaintiff.

'Plaintiff': 1 had nothing to eat. His Honour: Just so, but who told you to bring this suit? Those is someone at the back of it.

Plaintiff: No one told me; he owes me. money.

Defendant: He's a liar, sir. He owes me money. He kept L2 of mine in Singapore on the way from lede, and when I asked him about it, he said he had changed it and was $5 shart. He's a budmash.

HILL LINERS AND HONOLULU.

I has been decided that the Hall liners will pot call at Honolulu on their return trip from the Orient. The question has been under con sideration for some months, and it is now stated that to call at Honolulu would necessitate steaming from the northern to the southern route and would add two or three days' extra time to the Seattle route. One of the principal advantages of the Seattle route is that it is the most direct line to Oriental ports and that the steaming time is shorter than to San Francisco. This advantage would be thrown away Honolulu were made a port of call.

The principal repairs. having been effected, the vessel had left the dock on the 17th, and had since been moored to the buoy off Wada Paint. Owing to the gale which blew on the night of the igih inst. the cable parted at about 2,30 a.m. on the fol lowing day, and, as the engines could not be used on account of the repairs, the vessel drifted out of the harbour to the south-eastward, and eventually went ashore some six hours later at the mouth of the Kilsu-gawa, Osaka.
