One OF the advantages derived from the use of
Marconi telegraphic outfits on boats crossing the
English Channel is that notice can be given to
connecting railways regarding the number of
passengers for whom accommodations are re-
quired. In such instances the proper informa-
ton Is transmitted to the port which the
steamer is about to arrive. But a Belgian yes
sci demonstrated another interesting possibility
the other day. She left Ostend for Dover in an
exceptionally heavy gale, although she carried
a number of Government officials desirous OF
witnessing test of the system. The two ports
are seventy miles apart. Yet until within
a few miles of Dover the steamer continued to
report back to Ostend her progress and safety
besides dspatching numerous complimentary
messages. In boat should be disabled it
would be more desirable to maintain COM
munication with her owners than if unharmed.
The line to which this particular vessel belongs
will equip its whole fleet with Marconi
apparatus.

FOREIGN TRADE OF CHINA,
Commercial and Financial World

NohueTCldl anu rlnanClAl World.
China's foreign trade, and es-
pecially her trade with the Uni
ted States, developed very rap
idly in 1899, as is shown by a
statement just received by the
Treasury Bureau of Statictics.
The statement in question, from
the "Returns Of Trade" by the
Imperial Maritime Customs Ser
vice of China, shows especially
rapid development in the sec
ton where railways have recent
ly been opened.
The following are extracts
from the report in question:
"The foreign trade of China
during the year 1899 was char
acterized by an astonishing de-
velopment, and merchants, both
foreign and native, made hand
some profits in almost every
branch. The political situation,
although still unsettled, gave
rise to no immediate fears ex-
change remained remarkably
steady the rice crop was abun-
dant; the Spring weather dur
ing the critical period for the
silkworms was unusually favor
able and, except for recrudes-
cence of piracy on the West
River. there were no disturban-
ces to check trade. The graf
flying result was that the year
beat all previous records and
showed an advance without pre-
cedent. The total trade was
valued at 460, ,533 ,2SS haikwan
taels, (the average value of the
Haikwantael was $1.14S in 1890.
$O.697 in 1898, and $0.722 in
1899) rise of 81 ,916,S05 haik-
wan taels on 1898, and more
than double the figures for 1890.
The internal trade of the coun-
try was also unusually brisk,
and the very important changes
which will be brought about by
the extension of railways have
already been proved. Newch-
wang and Tientsin have prompt
ly responded to the stimulus of
better means of communication,
and the trade of those ports has
leaped forward, although the
former suffered from a severe
outbreak of the plague. 1t is
found that Immediately trains
begin to ran, districts through
which there was little traffic,
such as between Paoting and
Pekin, suddenly commence to
hum with life and activity and
there spings up a hourishing
trade which was formerly
nudreamt of and IMPOSSIBLE
for want of cheap transport.
The Russian line has bt en- COM
pleted as far north as Moukden,
and the extraordinary richness
Manchuria will soon become
evident. The Lu-Han Railway,
from Pekin to Hankow, makes
steady progress. Within six
months it is expected trains will
be running as far south as
Chingting. The difficulties in
the southern section, where ex-
tensivc tunneling is required,
make construction slower there,
but rails have been laid for 40
kilometres northwards from
Hankow the track is now being
made as far as Sinyangto which
place it is hoped to run trains

Massacre on Board q Passenger
Ship.

Copenhagen, May 16 "A dis.
patch from Koping, Sweden, re
ports that as the steamer Kaping
last night was passing the Prinz
Caria a man sprung upon the deck
OF the latter vessel and shouted:
IF any one comes near | will
shoot" at the same moment a
woman was seen hanging over
the ships eide shrieking for help.
The man escaped in a boat.
When the t'rlnz Carl was board
ed it was found that II men on
board had been shot, six of
whom, including the captain
were dead. The rest were found
lock ed in their quarters. One of
the wounded has since died.
The murderer is being pursued.
The wounded say they were play
ing cards In the smoking room
about half past II with other men
when somebody put his head in
the room and exclaimed: Look
out, there's 1. massacre on board"
AT the same moment shots
were heard and all sprang to their
feet In order to leave the cabin {;
but they found the door fastened
on the outside. While they were
trying to force the door q shot
was fired through the window
and hit one of them. a man named
HARRISON, who fell to the floor.
The other three. Schneider, Kon.
dltor and Lindqulst bust the
door Lindquist, who was the first
to step through, received bullet
In hs head. Disregarding the
wound, he ran after the assassin
70 the steering room. The fugi
tive shouted down the speaking
tn be: Foil speed ahead" Then
engines were already at full
speed, and the engineer replied
lis that the captain ?" receiving
the answer, "Certainly. Drive
her to the devil"
The engineer put the engines
at full speed astern. The assassin
then ran down to the engine room
and threatened to shoot the en-
gineer if he didn't obey. The en-
gineer barricaded himself in the
room.
At that moment the Hoping
came along and the murderer
fled in boat.
Further details from KopIng
show that the man suddenly
started shutting all the doors of
the cabins and saloons and the
man, with a revolver in either
hand and with a dagger and
knife In his belt, he began firing
at every one he encountered. He
stabbed the captain in the back
and lady passenger in the
breast with the dagger and hack
ed boy with the knife.
He also shot the mate through
the shoulder, and of four gentle.
men who were playing cards in
the smoking room, one was shot
