The outlook for the future of the postal service is bright and continued advanzo may be rolled on. Among its 38 districts ethers, se u dozen as large as most countries in Europe, all with teeming millions. What has been achievet in this immense Empire is but a call beginning and it is easy to foresee that the wave, of progress now passing over China can but favour its tapid development and basur its complet Jon. So much for the Service as a whole. May I be allowed to add a few particulars regarding qur own district. We had on 31st December last $1 offices and agencies with a paid staff of two Foreigners and 197 natives. Dor courier lines are estimated to total over 1,600 miles. We handled ove and qvafler núllion articles in addition to one third of a million covers enclosed in re- gistered postal hong clubbed packages, Of parcels over 50,000 weighing nearly $70,000 pounds passed through the office. Coming to receipts the public patronago produced #revenue of nearly 638,000 or only about, $9,000 short of our ordinary disbursements. Tiess Figures are netand do not include the issue of over $80,000 worth money ardors and paymentɛ amounting to nearly 329,000 on the same account. And in addition the „quola ofgbe postal grant sanctioned by In- purial Edictam sapportioned to this port for payment has been regularly handed to us by the Customs Superintendent and for-| warded to the Inspector General.
