A few weeks ago we came across plan being worked in Hankow, which might be termed the operation of the foxes.
In one of the various "Lis," or collections of native houses located in the foreign concessions, lives a young native female who among her other and varied accomplishments, numbers, that of smoking opium. She is known as being able to get opium when she wants it and holds Eerself out among her friends as baving a osy place where smoking

She pays the Soi required tax to the native police whond to the tax gathering in their rticular part of the conces sion. d they pocket it as a portion of the sum due to them over and above the honourable retainer paid them by the Municipal Council.
THE LADY.
The large income of the lady in question however comes about in the following manner. Apart from the native constable and other special plain clothes men, there is the Vidocq, or detective, the man in the European story who uses all kinds of disguises. and can do all manner of things. le China he depends more upon the work done for him by a bard of run- ners or assistants which he does not maintain out of the ten dollars or so allowed him by the Manicipality. And the lady in question has a friend who is a detective on the staff of the - police force of the concession where
she operates.

At the opportune moment however, generally about three in the morning, he appears at the front door. The servants inside are much disturbed and announce that police are at the back door, the windows, and

THE MISTAKE,
The little arrangement became know one night recently, when the runners in dashing to the rear, made a mistake in counting the houses from the alley at the end and landed in 24 instead of 25. It so happened that 24 was occupied by a respect. able citizen. His servants held the intruders under threat of prosecution until they had told the their story and made arrangements also for a little wine money as compensation to them for being disturbed, and also for the suspicion and siur attached to their reputations.
PHILOSOPHY..
And there it ended. The police superintendent probably heard of it and said to himself
Well what can you expect when a Council asks for honest men at ten dollars a month and ten times as much to be bad for being crooked. They pay us for eigners well and we can afford to be straight. If I fire this man I will get another whose ways I less, under- stand. So I can only carry on."
So long as there are mзry geese there will be foxes who are siy en- ough to prey on them without using rauch effort.

FURTHER ACTION BY THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT.
The Canton District Court on July 26 heard the application of the Ministry of Finance of the Military Government for an order directing the managers of the Sincere Company to pay over the $300.000 due, to Dr. Wu Ting-fang to the Ministry instead, as Dr. Wu is no longer the Minister, the applicants alleged. Neither Dr. Wa Ting-fang nor the Sincere Com- pany was represented at the bearing, and therepresentatives for the plaintiff.
