Postal Agent Appointed.›. After considerable correspon- dence with Hongkong the local Government appointed a corporal of the 44th Regiment to go to Shanghai as Postal Agent, and in this way the Post Office was severed from the Consulate. In all other of the old Agencies, a Consular Oficial always remained

in charge.

Professor R. K. M. Simpson, M.A., was elected as Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer.

...

At the request of the District Attorney Inspector Schmidt read the confession made to him by. Tobias, in which he stated that the murdered man and another Filipina passed him in ricshas on the night of the murder and called him an objectionable name. An affray in which a knife was used resulted, Garcia being stabbed above the heart with a penknife wielded by Tobias.

A charge of murder in the first degree will be brought against Tobias to-morrow but it is expect-

to await the return of Judge Purdy who recently left for a holiday in America. Our Own Correspon dent..
