LIVERPOOL CELEBRATIONS IN SEPTEMBER.

TRAGEDY RECALLED.

London. July 13

The centenary of the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Rail- way, which was the world's first! successful commercial locomotive railway in the modern sense of the term, will be celebrated at Liver- pool in September, and arrange- ments have been made to make the celebrations worthy of the unique

occasion.

Although during its trial runs in 1830 the speed attained by the train drawn by the steam engine "Rocket" did not reach eighteen miles an hour. when running light, within one week of the inaugura tion of the service it was travelling at thirty miles hourly over the Liverpool-Manchester track.

In connexion with the September celebrations,, which are being or- ganised by the City of Liverpool and Manchester, with the co-opera- tion of the British Railways, a pageant depicting the evolution of transport will be performed in which five thousand men will take part.--British Wireless,

"I am a bad man, my. Lord. I have been convicted several times and when I was arrested I had no other alternative but to confess," said Ho Yan at the Criminal Sessions this morning before Mr. Justice Wood, when charged with theft. Accused was charged with stealing two jackets, a pair of trousers, and a piece of cloth at Aberdeen, the property of Fong Ching-yee.

His Lordship reminded accused that he had denied the charge before the Police Magistrate and accused then said that he did not steal the articles.

His Lordship directed that 3 plea of "not guilty" be entered and the evidence heard.

Mr. Somerset Fitzroy, for the Crown, explained that the com- plainant was asleep in her cubicle on the morning of July 3, this year, when she woke up at about

KWANGSI SITUATION.

Wuchów, July 10, Troops of the 59th. Division have been pouring into Wuchow on their way to Kweiping all this week and Kwangsi is evidently again to become the scene' of another campaign. From reportaj to hand the coming campaign wili be far more complicated than the last one, when, the Kwangst army resisted for six successfully months all the efforts of the Can- tonese to subjugate them.

Now, after an unsuccessful! northern campaign, the Kwangsi army and the Ironsides are re ported to be hoading for South China. However, if the Can- tonese again come to grips with the Kwangal forces there will be another factor to contend with. Reliable information is to the effect that Longchow and Pasch are in the hands of the Yunnanest and that they have a million or so dollars from opium, an asset which might have more influence than their military strength.

Which side the Yunnanese will assist is not known. Theoretical- | ly they have come at Chiang Kai- shek's request, but the Kwangsi party has been negotiating for their assistance. Another factor

followers are reported to be near Nanning. The situation is highly complicated but there is just the possibility that the parties will not come to grips.

Counsel added that certain ques- tions were put to accused at the time and from his answers could be inferred that he had stolen the articles. When charg- ed at the Police Station, however, accused said he had nothing to say, and when before the Magis trate he denied the theft.
