"I believe we shall be able to prove beyond doubt thint this church is the ancient Christian Church of London," said Father Roe to a Daily Express representa- tive. "No doubt we shall discover that the church dates back to the fourth or fifth century."
"I am basing my conclusiona en- tirely on archaeological grounds.
The first is the site which "the church occupies in the ancient stretched Holborn-road, which from-South Wales, across the Cot- awolde, to London. An ancient British church was always on the north side of the old Roman road.
The second argument is that a British church always stood on the top of a low hill.
The third argument is that the church is just outside the walls of Roman London, like St. Martin's of Canterbury, which is acknow ledged to be British, and St. Julius and Aaron at Caorleon."

VERANDAH STRUGGLE.
INDIAN'S PLUCKY FIGHT WITH BURGLAR.
Thanks to a plucky struggle put up by Mr. Sirdar Khan, of the Harbour Offico, living on the top floor of No. 32, Russell Street, a Chinese, believed to be a burglar and to have been in possession of à razor blade, has been arrested by the polico. During the strug- gle, Mr. Sirdar Khan was badly cut in the loft shoulder, and was lator admitted to hospital where he was detained. His wound is not considered to be serious.
It appears that Mr. Sirdar Khan, who was sleeping in his bedroom close to a window looking out on to the verandah, was disturbed at two o'clock this morning, and, look- ing through the curtain, he saw someone moving outside, On in- vestigating, he found a Chinczo on the verandah and a long strug- gle occurred when Mr. Sirdar Khan succeeded in overpowering the man. The alarm was given and just before the police arrived the Chinese succeeded In slashing Mr. Sirdar Khan in the loft shoulder with what is believed to have been a razor blade.
TRADE OUTLOOK.
LOCAL CONDITIONS STILL DULL
Enquiries in local commercial cfreles show that of late there has been little Improvement in the general trade of the Colony, affect- ed as it is on the one hand by the operations of an adverse exchange, and on the other hand by condi tions which are connected with the recent boycott.
The settled position In Canton, from the political and labour na- pects, viewed" with anything but confidence by Canton merchants: and the expected big orders for Hongkong-transhipped goods have not been forthcoming. In spite of this, however, it has to be recorded that British goods are being ship-. ped if not in large quantities at. least in a steady volume to the Chinese port, and the settled con- viction of many businessmen here fa that for the moment they have: to be grateful for small mercies. In view of the long period of trade depression through which the Colony has passed, it will take some time before local business ré covers ita full pre-boycott vigour.
"In the meantimic there is hardly: any buying on the Stock Exchange, even in landed property, and the general reluctance all round to set liquid money again into circula tion has resulted in a glut of silver in the vaults of local banks. The rise in the cost of certain no cessities, corresponding with the fall in the rate of silver exchange, has been a factor in this direction Market prices are on the upward: trend, as are rents, except in cases, where, to attract tenants for new houses which have been left empty, fower rates than the average are being charged, such to the gratifica tion of tenants who have been fore- ed into cramped conditions in overcrowded tenements.
