THE SITUATION AT SHANGHAI. A Reuter's telegram from Shanghai on Sun- day, dated 5 p.m., says:—There is no news to-day from the seat of war, beyond the rumour that three Chinese meu-of-wari have been cap- tured by the Japanese fleet. No details are given, and it is thought not improbable that the report is a modified re-production of previous rumours. Shanghai is quiet. Some local rowdies, chiefly Cantonese, show an in- clination to testify their ill-feeling towards the Japanese residents, and there have been a few personal encounters between subjects of the two belligerent countries, but they have not been of a serious nature. The municipal council of lp Shanghai, It European body, have issued a general order to the Volunteers to hold them- selves in readiness for any emergency. No anxiety is felt here as regards the safety of the European population. The Japanese Associa- tion, an influential local society, comprising the leading Japanese, have issued instructions to all subjects' of the Mikado resident here to be- have in an orderly maimer, to combine in the various districts under their head men, and to avoid the Chinese quarters after dusk. For their better protection the Japanese are recom- mended to live- within the settlement.

THE SINKING OF THE KOW SHING-. A Renter's telegram from Shanghai on Saturday morning says —Intelligence has now been received here that besides Captain Gals- worthy, Chief-officer Tamplin and Quarter- master Evangelista were also saved after the sinking of the transport Kow Shing, and were taken by the Japanese to Sasebo, where they were detained as prisoners. •_ i A later telegram states that Vice-admiral Fremantle, commander-in-chief on the China station, on receiving the above news, ordered the dispatch vessel Alacrity to proceed from Su Shima, in the Corean Channel, to Sasebo, to demand the release of the prisoners. On the arrival of the Alacrity at Nagasaki, however, information was received that the J apanese Government would deliver the prisoners up at Nagasaki. The three officers are due to arrive at Nagasaki to-day. A telegram is stated to have been received from Captain Galsworthy to the same effect, and it is imagined by the Chinese here thn.5 the al.iidav.it first made by that officer support- ing the Japanese version of the matter was signed under compulsion. Captain Gals- worthy and the other officers of the Kow Slung saved were first taken to Chemulpo, and thence to Sasebo, on board the Taeyama- kan. Here they were kept prisoners from July 29 to the 4th inst., and they owe their release, it is stated entirely to the action taken by Admiral Freemantle. Quartermaster Evangelista, who was wounded, was placed in the hospital at Sasebo.
JAPANESE MINISTER ATTACKED.

JAPANESE MINISTER ATTACKED. TIENTSIN, Monday. Li Hung Chang continues to direct all war- like preparations. He" reviewed the recently- arrived troops to-day, and appeared without the coveted yellow jacket. The Viceroy sent a personal message to the retiring Japanese Minister yesteroay regretting-that the soldiery ,,0 at Taku had so far forgotten themselves as to attack his Excellency and his suite. The disorderly soldiers will be suitably punished. It seems that when the Japanese Embassy took steamer the Chinese troops mounted the walls of the Taku forts, hurling mud and missiles toward the departing Minister and his entourage, and using offensive cries. The Mandarins were unable for some time to quell the riot. Sir Robert Hart's Customs autho- rities, with their native boatmen, formed the Japanese escort. Taku has been placed in tele- phonic communication with the Viceroy at Tientsin. No naval movements are recorded. The Mandarin commanding at Taku is pre- pared with means of blocking the Peiho if necessary. The placing of sub-marine torpe- does continues unceasingly. All competent men from the training schools have been drafted aboard the warships, and every Chinese vessel that can be navigated is in commission. A iteuter's telegram from Shanghai on Mon- day says:—It is reported from Tientsin that the Japanese Minister and his suite wove attacked by the Chinese soldiers as they were about to leave that city on their return to Japan, and their baggage was seized. The Viceroy, on being informed of the attack, santa force against the riotous soldiery, and order was restored. The Viceroy has apolo- gised to the .British Consul for the riot on board the British steamer Chung Kong, from which a number of Japanese were forcibly removed by the insubordina,te Chinese troops.

NATIYE ANAECHY FEARED. SHANGHAI, Monday. The reported naval fight is discredited. The Chinese Northern Fleet remains at Wei-Hai- Weo, and the Japanese Fleet would scarcely venture there to attack them. Some coasting juaits may have been captured, but even this is uncertain. No Chinese transports have recently ventured to sea. The Russian troops, north of the Tinmen River, on the Corean frontier, have been reinforced. The Russian Fleeet which sailed southward last week from Vladi- vostook, has not yet been reported. Several Japanese transports have- been sighted in the Yellow Sea, guarded by warsiiips. It is conjectured that reinforcements are being conveyed to Chermuipo. Nothing has been allowed to tra.nspire from Japan as to the destination of these ships, or the number troops on boa.rd. Letters from Hankow state that the war is being watched with intense anxiety. It is feared that a Chinese disaster might lead to native anarchy. The European community at Hankow numbers but 80. All the males are enrolled as Volunteers for pre- serving order. The war fever is inflaming Chin Kiang, Hu Hu Tchang, and other river- side towns.. In Shanghai the Volunteers and Bluejackets are sufficient to protect Europeans.

OUTEAGE ON A BRITISH I SIIIP. CRUELTY TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN. A Central News telegram from Shanghai, timed Tuesday, 12.15 p.m., says:—The steam- ship Chung Lung, flying the British flag, arrived here this morning. Her captain fur- nishes a full narrative of the outrage commit- ted on board her, for which the Viceroy Li Hung- Chang has since tendered an anologv to the British Consul. The captain says that while at Tong Ku the vessel was boarded by a number of Chinese soldiers. He had 60 Japanese on board, many being-women with children. The soldiers commenced chasing the Japanese, and the women sought to hide themselves. Each one when found was tightly secured, their feet being fastened together and their hands being tied behind them. In this way they were thrown upon the wharf, where they la.y helpless. Several of them fainted under the treatment. The men were severely handled. Besides order- ing the Japanese to be released, the Viceroy has ordered that the Chinese soldiers implicated shall be severely punished. CONTRABAND OF WAR. A Central News telegram from Vancouver (B.C.) says :Last week, before the official decla,ra,tion of war by Japan against China, four truckloads of rifles were despatched from Mon- treal on the way to China. The Empress of China, however, sailed on Monday night for Yokohama without these or.other contraband of Yo 0, 1.41 w 11 war. The Canadian Pacific Railway has issued imperative instructions that under the circum-. stances their employes are to observe strict neutrality. The mail. steamer sailing from Ban Francisco will adopt similar measures. THROUGH MOVING A BUOY. A Dalziel's telegram from New York sgta t- News from Shanghai reports that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's steamer Empress of China went ashore on Saturday afternoon on the bar at Shanghai. The disaster is stated to be due to the alteration in the position of a. ouoy placed at the mouth of the Woosung River, the change being made in consequence of the decla- ration of war by Japan against China, but it had not been notified at the time the vessel entered the harbour. The bar at the mouth of the river is of soft mud, and it is believed that the vessel will sustain but little harm by the I accident. Considerable inconvenience will be caused by the delay ttris; g out of the shifting of the cargo necessary te enable the steamei to be got off. CHINESE CALLED HOME. A Dalziel's telegram from Indianapolis (In- diana) on Tuesday says :—The Chinese resi- dents in this city announce that they^ have received orders from the authorities in China to return home in consequence of the hostilities be- tween China and Japan. They state that, in all probability, the whole of the Chinese residents in America will receive a similar notification. They fear that the struggle between the two countries will be long and bitter. CHINESE AMBASSADOR IN LONDON. The Chinese Minister, in accordance with diplomatic etiquette, called upon the various ambassadors in London on Tuesday, commenc- ing with Mr. Bayard. He was attired m gorgeous native costume, and accompanied by Sir Halliday Macartney. SUPPLIES FOR THE JAPANESE. A Central News telegram from Kansas City on Monday says:—The Japanese Government has,1 ordered half a million pounds of beef from Armour and Co. DANISH SUBJECT A PRISONER. A Renter's telegram from Shanghai on Monday says: —The Danish Government has demanded the release of a Danish itibject, named Mahienstedt, who was a passenger on board the Chinese dispatch boat Tsao Kiang. A BRITISH ENVOY FOR JAPAN. A Central News telegram from Vancouver 'I'lor n'n on Saturday morning says:—The Hon. Power Henry Lepoer Trench, Minister at Mexico, and formerly Charge d'Affaires at Tokio, arrived here this morning on his way to Japan. CHINESE FLEET RETURNS. A Reuter's telegram from Copenhagen on Saturday morning says —A private telegram c received here from Shanghai of yesterday's date states that the Chinese Sei Yang Fleet, numbering thirteen vessels, which recently sailed from Chefoo, it was supposed for Corea, has _eturned to port; without engaging the Japanese Squadron. SEIZURE ON A BRITISH SHIP. A '"Times" second edition telegram from Tientsin says :—Thirteen Japanese who had been forcibly removed by Chinese soldiers from the British steamer Chan Kin were returned aboard immediately on the Viceroy being in- formed of the occurrence. The Viceroy has expressed his deep regret to the British Consul for this incident, and has issued telegraphic orders for an inquiry into the circumstances, and due punishment of those who may be found guilty. Nearly all the Japanese here now Ime gone to Pekin. Tientsin is quiet. NO NEWS AT THE CHINESE LEGATION. The Contul News says :-The authorities at the Chinese Legation were busy with dis- patches throughout Sunday, and received, amongst other visitors, some officials from the Foreign Office. Nothing has been received at the Chinese .Legation with reference to the capture of three of the Celestial warships- nor have any details readnd them of the lighting- en July 29. They were disposed, however, to consider it as a trifling affair which lias been greatly exaggerated. COMPENSATION FOR SINKING A TRANSPORT. The "Times" Shanghai correspondent tele- graphs:—The Viceroy Li Hung Chang expects that England will claim compensation for the relatives of those who lost their lives by the sinking of the Kow Shing and for the owners of the cargo and of the vessel, which was under the protection of the British flag when she was destroyed by the Japanese in Corean waters before the declaration of war. lie estimates the indemnity due to China at three and a. half million dollars. JAPANESE MINISTER TO WASHING- TON. A Reuter's telegram from Washington on Tuesday says:—A cablegram has been le- Celved at the Japanese Legation here innounc- ing that Mr. Shiniohero Kurino has been appointed to succeed Mr. Tateno Gozo as Japanese Minister to the United States. FRENCH MEN-OF-WAR FOR COREA. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris on Saturday says :—The French fleet in the Far East has received orders to proceed to the scene of the hostilities between China and Japan- Two French men-of-war have already reached the Corean coast. ACTION OF GREAT BRITAIN. A London Gazette Extraordinary" was issued on Tuesday night conta,ining a procla mation by the Queen, stating that, as a state of war unhappily exists between the Emperor of China and the Emperor of Japan, and being de sirous of maintaining a. strict and impartia neutrality, her Majesty commands all her sub* jects to govern themselves accordingly. It is also stated that Lord Ilimberley has addressed a letter to the Lords Commissioners of the Ad- miralty, the Treasury, and Home, Colonial, War and India Offices, containing rules for the observance of neutrality, to be put in force on the 12th of this month.

THE NAERODAL PASS, NORWAY. To hear John L. Stoddard lecture, to lead his descriptions of the places and scenes he has visitect in his travels, and above all to study the magnificent reproductions of these scenes as he has selected them for the port- folio of photographs, is but the creating of an intense desire to follow in his footsteps and 'see all that he has seen. This, however, is a pleasure but a favoured few can But to these who are denied there is yet an enjoyment second only to real travel and the privilege of really gazing upon the sights and wonders he describes. To this end was our magnificent portfolio of photo- graphs issued, and for this purpose aid we inaugurate the plan we have adopted of get- ting "them out among the people, which has proved so enuirly succssful. Listen to Mr. Stoddard as he describes tl-ici remarkable gorge, the "Na-erodai" in Norway, a. country noted for its. wondíerfnl passes and fjords — "The 'Nasrodai' is a magnificent inountain- gorge1 extending inland and upward from the equally sublime 'Naerofjord.' It is charac- teristic of the wonderful coast of Norway, that long arms of the sea, called ".fjords,' wind inland from the Atlantic for nearly one hundred, miles, bordered by gigantic,, gloomy almost perpendicular cliffs, whicn ap- proach each other at times so closely that the spray from their coiuitIess_ cascades may be blown over the deck of the steamer as it glides along at their base. At the ex- tremity of .almost every such fjord the tremity of almost every- such fjord the grooved formation of the coast still continues towards the interior, and no doubt such wild ravines as the Naerodal once contained water the gradual elevation of the shore having caused the ocean to retire. Ages ago, there- fore, human beings, if, any had then existed here, could have 1 sailed through this Naero- dal, where travellers now drive or walk. It is place of great sublimity. On either hand tower dark and almost-perpendioular mountains, without a scrap of. vegetation on their barren sides, though down their savage, wrinkled faces stream numberless waterfalls. One of these mountains, called the Jordalsntit, has the form of an enormous thimble, and, as its composition is silvery feldspar, it presents a most brilliant a.nd beautiful appearance, especially at sunset or under the refulgence of the moon." Who could read this and not wish to behold it in all its gigantic, gloomy grandeur. We cannot trike you to Norway in person, but we can bring before your eyes a per- fect reproduction of the Naeirodal and of every otheir wonder of the earth, every famous city, building, and bridge, every- thing that is sublime, picturesque and in- teresting in the world. All these things are contained in our portfolio of photographs. The views are 11 x 13 inches in size and each portfolio contains sixteen photographs. By conforming to the plan we have inaugurated the cost is practically nothing. Read our advertisement on Page 11 and faithfully follow its directions. 'I'

THE SRVJRN NAVIGATION. I REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE AND ENGINEERS. At the annual general meeting of the Severn i Commission, which will be held on Monday, the 13th of August, the report of the committee of works and finance and general purposes and also the report of the engineer to the Severn Commissioners will be read. The report of the committee states, the time for which Mr. Ed- ward Dimmack Marten was tempoarily ap- pointed engineer to the commission being 1, nearly at an end, the committee, at their meet- ing on the 23rd of June, 189'i, unanimously appointed him as engineer, to discharge the same duties, as his late father, Mr. Henry John Marten, C.E., and on the terms and at the i enumeration he held that office. The sum of -030,000, authorised by the Act of 1890 to be borrowed for the works thereby sanctioned, has been received, and nearly the whole has been expended on such works. The tolls received during the year ending June 30 last are J652 4s. 6d. less than in the previous year, attributed to the coal strike last autumn. The expectations as to a large increase of traffic from the additional depth of water obtained had not yet been realised. The satisfactory completion of the impiovemcuts authorised by the Act of 1590, it is hoped, will enable the merchants and traders of Cardiff and others inte rested in the navigation to bring ci on the river the additional traffic which the committee were led to anticipate. It is urged by many of the traders that the West- l gate Bridge at Gloucester is such an obstacle to the passage of vessels suitable for the traue of the Bristol Channel and the River Severn that it is absolutely necessary the bridge should be converted into a swing bridge. The com- mittee were prepared to obtain powers for, and to carry out, such an alteration on being pro- I vided with the moneys required for payment of the cost of the necessary application to Parlia- ment, and for carrying out the work. The com- mittee are informed that endeavours are being continued to form a oompa-ny for providing vessels, specially designed, for trading on- the Severn to and from ports in the Bristol Channel, and so constructed as to pass under West-gate Bridge, but such vessels are not yet forthcoming. A Provisional Order has been made- by the Board of Trade prescribing the maximum toils and charges to be'taken and made on the River Severn, and various regulations applicable to the traffic thereon. The tolls mentioned in the' Order are the same as those payable under the Severn Navigation Acts, except- that the ioll of 0'40d. per ton per mile is substituted for 0 50d per ton per mile, heretofore payable for traffic between Diglis (Worcester) and Stourport-, and on the other hand, a small toll is made payable for empty boats passing through a, lock, and a. ¡ slight addition is made to the toll for short dis- tances. Applications continued to be made to the committee to join in fixing through rates for certain traffic passing over the River Severn and canals communicating therewith. The committee have caused application to be made to the mortgagees of the commissioners to authorise the committee to agree on through rates, and to make any necessary reductions in the tolls for ordinary traffic, which they may consider fair and reasonable, to meet reductions in the tolls on the canals over which such through traffic may pass. An abstract of accounts for the year ending June 30, 1894, show the total expenditure to be LS,156 5s. Td., which is met by receipts amounting to 89,n6 Os. 9d. THE ENGINEER'S REPORT. The engineer, in his report, states that the locks and other works have been maintained in good order and condition during the past year. Since the last annual meeting the vi dredging of the navigable channel of the River Severn to the minimum depth of 10ft., from Gloucester to Worcester Bridge, had been com- pleted, and there was now an excellent travel- ling waterway between those places at low summer level for the class of vessel for which the works were designed, namely, a vessel 135ft. long, 2.1ft. beam, and 8|ft. draft- In the ordinary state of the water this draft might be somewhat exceeded, but it should be borne in mind that in times of extreme drought the water on Diglis Lock lower sill had been known to fall as low as 9ft. 4in., and that the bottoms of the leeks were in the form of flat inverted arches. iTn to the present time ho trader had taken advantage of the improved waterway. The West-gate Bridge at Gloucester continued to be a, bar to the passage to Worcester of sea- going vessels, unless of special construction. The engineer considers that the converting of the bridge into an opening bridge would be a most desirable improvement. The daily and monthly compensation water had during the past year been regularly and properly dis- charged from the Výnnvy Reservoir of the Liverpool Corporation, in accordance with the requirements of Parliament."

BARING ESCAPE OF SAILORS. l I EXCITING- SCENE IN PLYMOUTH SOUND. About three o'clock on Monday morning two of the crew of the Swedish barque Carlos, tiien lying at anchor in Cattewater, effected an escape from their ship by cutting away one of the boats. They then landed at Plymouth and wandered about the streets. Captain Boberkon, of the Ca.rlos, having orders to sail for Helsing- borg-, communicated with the Plymouth police, and a search was made, with the result that in a, short time the runaways were found and taken to their ship. Later in the morning the steam tug Triumph was employed to tow the barque out of the Sound. When they were between Penlee and the cast end of the break. water these men were seen to deliberately jump overboard and swim towards Cawsand. The men on the Triumph, seeing the occurrence, im- mediately put the boat about and steamed after the men. When they got near they put off in a small boat and soon had them on board.
