commission to reorganise a Chinese Police Force prior to his arrest in Hongkong.

Matters progressed a further step yesterday, when, it being understood that the authorities were contemplating the deporta Lion of the man as an undesirable, legal representatives interviewed the authorities.

It is understood that the bail applied for was granted, and that the man was released thereon to-day.
