THE NEW VICEROY AND THE OLD.

After_all_the_uncertainty which has for weeks surrounded the question of the Liang Kwang Viceroyally the sinuous tactics of His Excellency Shum have prevailed; and a practically unknown official has been ap pointed to be head of the Government in. the Kwangtung Provinces. Whether Shum will actually take advantage of the permission so reluctantly granted by the Throne to retire into private. life is, to say the least, ex- tremely doubtful; for those who have watch

As Adrett is well known at Chefoo, he having kept a bar-room at that port for some time, the news of his arrival travelled fast, with the result that having been warned of the murder, Detective Inspector Quincey, and a number ofother men arrested the suspect in the "Old Kentucky Home" saloon.
