Special Cable to The Herald.
PICKING, Aug. 3.-Native crime has
been greatly on the increase in the British
settlement at Shanghai and the municipal
council has, in consequence, decided to
press for the reinstatement of the caigue
and bamboo methods of punishment. Both
of these things have been long omitted
from the criminal code Of Shanghai.
Native criminals have become increas-
ingly daring, and 1t has been found that
the prospect of Imprisonment in ordinary
jails has no teFrors for ..lem. While they
are in modern jails they are well housed
and fed-better probably than when at lid
erty-and experience has shown that I'M
prisonment, so far from being deterrent,
is actually an incentive to crime
The caigue is a large wooden collar MT
ting closely around the neck OF the GRIM

night during the entire term OF punish
ment which may vary in duration from
fortnight to three months. It's FORM pre-

merchants did starve to death. but some
of their wealthy relatives at Picking had

pressly for the store, which will be
one of the biggest in the United States.
There are two floors and a large mez-
canine balcony. The stock will be shown

The store has always had the patron

will have the best line of cut glas
and silverware in the city and will dis
