Peking, Oct. 28.

'I'he servants discovered the man as he was attempting to make his escape by scaling the surrounding wall, but though they e-laboured him with sticks and shovels they were unable to prevent him getting over the wall. The police were at once informed and speedily established a cordon around the adjoining neighbourhood and in a little time ran their quarry to earth. When searched it was found that he had in his possession several articles of jewellery and clothing, proving that he had visited several houses in the course of the night.—Reuter. a game of billiards with Mr. Hickling at the Country Club on Monday night, Captain Bar-reft made a break of 148.
