The rebellion in Yunnan recently an- nounced by REUTER turns out to be of rather insignificant origin and dimensions, Linan-fu is the centre of a mining dis trict, and it seems that it was merely an outbreak amongst the minors, moved thereto either by the scarcity and dearass of rice or on account of the imposition of new taxes, which is always resented by the natives. The mob rose and murdered the profect, and committed other acts of violence, but the demonstration was neither political nor religious, nor auti-dyaastic, nor was it in any way connected with the rebellion in Kwangsi. On receipt of the news of the disturbance at Yunnan-fu, the Viceroy ordered three battalions of troops to proceed to
Linan-fu on the 23rd ult, and this force would no doubt prove amply sufficient to deal with the rioters and suppress the movement, if isdeed it had not already subsided. There was nothing in the outbreak to occasion alarm" except locally. The district is famous for the production of copper ore, the variety kaown' as pattung or white copper:

The fifth annual meeting of the China Mutasi Life Insurance Co, Ļ, was held at Shangliaf last week, Mr. John Ford in the chair. In the couras of his speech the Chairman said that the business had shown a very substantial in. oroase over that of former years. Ja spits of the ingreased income it was decided to pay the same dividend as last year, i e., 8 per cent., order that the Company might be still farther strengthened during the next 12 months.
At this time when there are so many sailors out of berths in Hongkong it is interesting to note that there is a scarcity in San Francisco. The British ship Conway is said to be the first sailing vessel to fool the effects of the grest exodus of sailors. For weeks past the ships of the salmon foot bad been going to soa, taking all the able asa con in sigat, and the skippers of skips about 10 stil in other directions had riowed the situation with alarm. The Conway dropped into the streaza, preparatory to going north to land lumber for Callao, and would have to wait until a crew was secured.

·MISS BLAKE'S WEDDING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE “ DAILY PRESB," Hongkong, 3rd June. Sre,-I think "Old Resident's" proposal for a public holiday on the occasion of Miss Blake's marrings nest Monday is a good cao. The event will be unique in the domestic history of the colony, I believe, and should be celebrated accordingly.

GOOD LUCK.
SERIOUS FIRE.
An outbreak of fire bigger than those which lately have been calling the members of the Fire Brigade from their rest occurred at half- past one o'clock yesterday morning in a medicine shop at 9, Hilller Street. The firomen were under the superintendence of Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, and after two-and-a-half hours' hard work they were successful in overcoming the flames, which completely gutted the build- ing, a four-story one, and did damage to the estimated extent of $20,000. The insurance amounts to $27.000, and is made up as fol

Notwithstanding the incoming of the dry weather, the plague returns do not show any stoppage of the epidemio. Mr. Pollock, K.C, will at the Sanitary Board to-day ask for some important information bearing on the matter.

The China Toutes of the 25th ult. says that an interesting ceremony took place at the British Legation recently, when a magnificent lectern, in the form of an eagle, was dedicated in the Logation chapel.

THE meeting of the Navy League at the City Hall, on Tuesday, was enthusiastic and appreciative, and the attendance, for Hong kong on a hot day, when the attractions of a cool swim were so obvious, was fairly good. Mr. Wrarr's remarks were listened to with the greatest interest, as he traced the rise of Britain as a sea power and pointed out, in simple but forcible terms, the necessity, after winning the mastery of the sea, for presorting the same by the maintenance of an adequate Navy, Excellency the GOVERNOR algo made a great point when he drew attention to the fact that the efforts of the Navy Leaguo were really directed to maintain the priceless blessings of peace. The Navy League was, he considered, the greatest Peace Society in the world. This was most entirely the right note to take. Whatever misgivings we may have for the future, born of the ceaseless strivings of the nations and, more particularly, the restless aggression of Russia, all members of the Navy League by a couple of friends or at least by one of the London United Electric Tramway inaugurated must ever continue to cherish the hope that Both of these were taken to the station, and the evil day when a great-and we fear it at the Magistracy yesterday one was flued $45 would be titanic-struggle is prevoked, mayor six weeks.
