The correspondent of the Times at
Hong Kong declares that in the
event of war between England and
Russia, China would make a despe-
rnte effort TO reconquer Manchurio,
the province captured by Ignatieff in
1858. The Chinese could, says the
writer, bring the whole army employ
ed against Ton1uin, 100, 900 men, 10
the North, TO support a Northern
Army even now cautioned along the
border of Manchuria; ard the com.
bined force under English officers
would conquer the whole valley OF
the Amour. The prospect has a
certain attraction, because the loss
of the valley involves that of ports,
and would leave the Russian Fleet
in the North Pacific, always On OBJ
ject of anxiety to our admiralty, in
the air, with no dock. apd no coal
ing station; but Russia would not
thereby be much weakened. st.
Petersburg would hardly feel the
blow any more than she felt the sale
of Alaska to the United States.' More
over, an alliance with China would
require very strict stipulations az TO
her mode OF warfare. She il too apt,
when really in earnest, to erase hos
tile populations.

and therefore it was also considered right
at the same time to grant to the Island a
subsidy that could enable it to do away
with the export duty. at least / year. Ac.
cordingly another Bill to the effect named
was submitted to the Diet, and he would
beg to hand a copy of it to be placed on
the Councils table, for the information of
Members. The two Bills were favourably
received in the Landsthing, whore hey
were passed with some slight alterations:
but he was sorry to say that the two Bills
were rejected by the Folkething, and the
practical result was that the e%ndeayours
to help Sugar Production and The Islands
ON the whole were frustrated. However,
it is important to the colonies to know that
the Home Government, the Landsthing
and part of the Folkething are SO favour
ably inclined towards the Island we may
reasonably hope that in time to come the
rest of the Diet will be equally favourably
disposed and that our financial affairs then
will be properly arranged; in the mean
time, we must go on as hitherto, mourning
debts to the Mothercountry. AS regards
the Crisis itself, it is fortunately so, that
the present improved state of the sugar
market makes it unnecessary TO afford any
immediate assistance to planters of the
Island, as the crisis may be considered as
past. without, as far as is known, having
had hitherto any marked effect on the su.
gar production. But although the crisis
is so far past, still there seems to be good
cause to take under consideration what can
be done in future to protect the agriculture
of the Island in any future crisis, which,
we are taught by experience we can not
expect to escape, they will certainly return
after some time. We have lately seen
that in such cases will not do to rely solely
on obtaining assistance from the Mother
Country for even if all parties concerned
have the best will to render aid, circum-
stances might prevent the aid from being
given in time. We should be prepared III
such cases to help ourselves at least in the
first moments, and hence it is very deSira-
bile to have means to meet the most press,
ing demands he would now therefore pro.
pose that the Council appoint a Committee
to confer with the Government on methods
for that purpose. Herewith he had con.
cluded what he had to communicate to the
honorable Colonial Council.

About this time Broadway claims to have dis covered photographs and letters in the pos session of his wife which were convincing proofs of her unfaithfulness "A scene" en- sued and Brockway left her. During the last weeks encampment he met his wife and ap- parently 'fmade up" with her. They were seen at camp together on Governors day and went home together to the Nelson Baldwin place in Waterford. When Broadway shot his wife in the outbuilding no one was pres ent but four shots were heard and the Bald win family and neighbors rushed to the spot. His wife was lying on her back with two bull let holes nearly together under the right shoulder blade and another in the middle finger of the right hand. Brockway's self inflicted wound is not dangerous. He says he is now very sorry he shot his wife and hopes she will live. He regrets that he did not kill himself and says he was perfectly sober when he fired, but was overmastered by something like sudden attack of insan- ity. He has hitherto borne an irreproachable character and was one of the best and most genial sportsman's guides in his section. Directly after he shot himself he got into 8 small boat and pushed out toward deep water, and just he was apparently about to plunge overheard Constable Hart called on him to return and give himself up. Brockway did so without word.

CASE CONTINUED. Merrick Hitchcock And The Passing of Worthless Cheeks.


 Merrick T. Hitchcock, well known in New Haven was prisoner yesterday morning before Judge Calef in the Middletown City court charged with passing bogus check for $1O drawn on the Yale National bank of this city and given to Walter Il. Smith, a livery man in Middletown. The case went over until to-day, Hitchcock desiring to obtain counsel, pending which he was remanded to the care of the police. Recently he present. ed worthless checks for small amounts at the ticket offices in the Grand Central and Bridgeport depots of the Consolidated road in payment for tickets, receiving both times the change due him as if he had presented bank note. Before arrangements were com pleted to secure him he honored the checks and the complaints were dropped. Hitch cock was arrested in this city by Detective Brewer at the request of Chief Chapman of Middletown, who had warrant for him.
 MT. Diebel, the caterer of this city, had just given case against Hitchcock to the prose- cutting authorities here, Hitchcock having cashed two worthless cheeks at Diebels in pretended payment of bills against him at DiebePs. The checks were for larger amounts than the bills and Hitchcock received the balance in cash. The first check went in the course of business to Bradley & Lee and lay in their possession some time, and the sec- ond check was found to be worthless before the first one presented at the bank. The amount MT. Diebel finds himself out is $3O. The prisoner on examination said he was hard up and meant to have strengthened out matters before the trouble came.
