ORGAN RECITAL,

AT.S. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL. Another of Mr. Denman Fuller's always successful organ recitals was given in S. John's Cathedral, at 5.30 p.m. yesterday. There was a fairly large congregation present, in anticipa tion of musical good things to be put before them. The recital opened by Mr. Fuller's playing of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Andide con Malo which was followed by Grice's Peae an Printemps; both speakingly rendered, both pieces being well care sed to show the possibilities of the fine Cathedral organ. The quartelle "thod is a Spirt," was very beautifully rendered by Miss Seth, Mrs. Perkins, Mr. A. E. Phipe nad Me, J. Whittall, the voices blending in must perfect harmony, the be fut lines being so rendered that bad it be anywhere else than the sacred precincts of the Cilledral an nudeniable envore must have followed. Wagners Trauermarsh, Massenes's "The last sleep "and MacDowell's "To the sea" were exquisite items unsurpass ally rendered, while Tamer's Motely Sun of My Soul" sung by the full Cathedral Choir, was alone worth going far to hear. Tschalkows- ky's Romance, and Elgar's Grand "Imperial March" were the well-selected and well-execut ed closing items, after which a collection was maite on behalf of the Cathedral Chuir Fund; and then the Benediction, pra«unced by the Rev. F. Johnson, brought another very en- juyable function to a close,

luis still raging, and nobody can tell how far it will progress.

THIRTEEN HOUSES OUTTED.

According to news received in Hongkong to-day, thirteen houses were gutted in Canton as a result of the fire yesterday. No particulars

are ta band regarding the origin of the fire but that it raged with great fierceness for many hours is established. The fire broke out in the row of houses on the canal facing the Shame en. So strong was lite outbreak that in a very short time the whole row of houses was ablaze. A high wind was blowing and sparks were flying over the canal, alighting on the foreign houses. The foreign staffs abandoned their ledger, to keep the stray sparks from setting five to the houses onte Shameen. It is reported that Messrs. A. S. Watson and Co.'s staff were kept busy fighting the fames and preserving their pre- mises front attack by the fire on the opposite side of the canal.

The Chinese houses which were

ablaze were in the centre of the business quar ter and were occupied by weal by firms. The outbreak occurred almost directly opposite the Shamcen Hotel. No estimate of the damage has yet been obtained, but the damage may be anything up to half a million dollars.

་

The Hongkong insurance offices do not seem have suffered very heavily. One office bas last [2,000, and another $6,000, and so far as we have been able to discover that is about the total extent of the damage. The only foreign fem which appears to have been involved in the fire is the British-American Tobacco Com. pny whose godown has been utterly consumed. There was a large quantity of tobacco in stock and that has disappeared in smake, but not in the way intended. No other foreign firm has apparently suffered, but in great measure that to the exertions of the foreign

A great conflagration broke out at Canton al four o'clock yesterday afternoon, caused, we pre mformed, by the dropping of a hanging lamp in one of the houses The outbreak occurred at Sha-kee, facing the Shameen Hotel, from which a is divided by the canal. The Canion brigade tained out, and soon seven playing on the limes. A strong wind was blowing at the time and it was feared that the flames night reach the Settlement.

Then Mr. Lee Chung Yeç observed that the trunk strap had been cut and the lock forced. More than ico other trunks had been shipped al the same time.

OSAKA SHOSUN KAISHA.

`THE SHIPPING TRADE AND UNFAVOUR!

ABLE RUMOURS.

It appears that the unfavourable conditions prevailing in the Japanese shipping trade consequent upon the large number of vessels available are giving rise to various rumours with reference to the situation of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, and some of the larger share- holders of the company are said to be selling. In reply to these rumours the Osala Auhi states that of course the Osaka Shosen Kaisha cannot be exempt from the difficult position in which all the steamship owners in Japan find themselves at present.. Vicissitud's are liable to attend business, but there can be no cause at present to fear for the prosperity of the O.S.K. The Osaka journal gives the position of the company as ascertained from the proper

The month of February is generally a bad one for the ship- ping business, and so far it is impossible to hope for any better result than in the previous month. The paid-up capital of the company' in the first half of last year stond al Y8,250,000, and it is now Y10,000,000. On this increase in rapi al, the profits for last month showed a heavy decrease as compared with January last year-a decrease caused by the advance in coal and increase in general working expenses, but little increase in receipts.
