SICKNESS IN THE CITY.
During the past few days the weather has boon more than usually bet and a largely in- creased amount of sickness is the result. Plague is still very had and various forms of skin disease is rife. I hear that the Viceroy was inoculated against plaguo a few days ago, and that he called upon the citizens to follow his example. He has also given a handsome dona.
The Viceroy Las just appointed a unui pemed Kong, a resident of Honam, to clear out the bad characters from the Kwong Chow Prefecture This man, who iɛn Hau-lin graduato, is to receive a salary of Tis. 300 per month together with exponacs and the supreme control of his subordin aten.

Wasting and Weakness-hat a doctor's reputation depends on his skill
Happy and cheerful with abundance of energy and good spirits, is how Miss Dunford describes herself from the day she commenced to take Phosferine. Yet before she found relief in Phosferine words failed to express the miserable torments she endured from the effects of pneumonia and pleurisy, the aches, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and wasting, which even doctors failed to remedy. No wonder Miss Dunford feels (after two years of such suffering without ease or rost for the body) that Phosferine "has given her a nety and leller lease of life," for she driclares it is entirely. owing to Phosferice that she is actively busy again. Every overwrought wage carning woman will find a message of hope in Miss Dunford's experience, with its splendid assurance of renewed nervous vitality, and absolute prevention of tissue wasting.
Completely Overcome.
Miss Daisy Dunford, High-Street, Shrewton, Wilts, writes: 1 have. found Phosferine to be a wonderful remedy, Some two years ago I had paeumonia and pleurisy, which left me with terrible pains in my back and legs. Two doctors prescribed for me, but gave me not the slightest relief. I could not sit, lie down, or sleep, on account of the incessant agony, and I became so exceedingly weak and wasted that my friends were seriously alarmed. My appetite failed, and the little food 1 ate caused indigestion; my life was nothing but a prolonged torture. The doctors sail it was a form of neuralgia and sciatica, but the words do not convey any idea of my feartal state. I thought I world give Phosferine a trial, which I did, and after taking it for a little while, the pains were not nearly so acute, and finally left me altogether. I regained flesh, felt stronger, the indigestion entirely disappeared, and now, thanks to its marvellous aid, my health and strength, is completely restored. I cannot put into words my gratitude for the good Phosforiné has done me, for I feel it has given me a new and belter lease of life,”

THE VICEROY'S FATUER.
In spite of the protest from the Press the Viceroy's father ius refused to stay here lenger and yesterday he went on hoard the river cruiser Po Pik en route for Shanghai ri? Hoogkang,
MUZZLING THE PREAR,
I reported Isst-work, the Prose is not allowed in publish my telegrams in connection with the railway nationalization scheme, and for several days past no telap rows bure appeared. This' hasteaused a good deal of indignation among the people. as it Is feared that the Government is working against the wishes of the people and is afraid that the news of its actions will areuse public remonstrance. There is consequently much suppressed excitementaud Jarger ambers of soldiers bave been put on night-duty to be in readiness in onse of an
emergency,

EXCHANGE.
Yesterday the exchange between Canton sub- sidiary coin and Hongkong þauk-uotes was only 154 per cout, while in the evening the rate was a little less. This is the lowest that has been known for some years past, and the reason is sait to lie in the fact that during the past for "days" a very large number of Hongkong notes have been brought to Canton and there is now not much domaud for them.
A LEGAL ADVISER,
It is reported here that the Viceroy has engaged the services of a well-known Deng-
į kong lawyer to net as his agent in all negotia
tions between the Kwangtung and Hongkong authorities. This gentleman's nervices will be of particular value ju extradition cases and in invoking the aid of the Hongkong authorities in the capture of rebels or criminals excaped from this province.
BAD CHARACTERS.
As formerly reported, the Provincial Clovorne. ment is taking active slops to drive out the hud characters from the various districts, but the work is greatly hemperod from want of men. The Viceroy has therefore ordered. General Lung to remoro three additional regimonta from Kwong Sai, and there will assist in the "pacification" of the Ying Tak and Ching Yoon Districts.
ROBBERS AT LIN CHOW.
The Lin Chow Prefecture is again in a dis- turhod stats owing to the large number of banditti in the district. There have carried on their depredations to such an extent as to cause the local landowners to raise a militia among the villages.

There has been a good deal of trouble in the Ying Tak District lately, and the gaol attaabed to the District Magistrate's Tamen contained over 80 of the most desperate raians in the locality. At 11 pm. a few nights go they managed to make a great hole in ous of the walls. 750 through which they got into the Yuman grounds. They then found the gaoler, whom they gagged, and bound. Escaping from the Yarden they were opposed by a gate-keeper, whom they stabbed. They then divided into two bodies, and, at different points, swarmed over the city wall and escuped into tho open. country. Only four havo been re-arrested, and those were strangers to the district. A reward has been offered for the apprehension of the fugitives, but they are not likely to be found.
A GENERAL IN DISGUISE. General Lang, the offer in command of the troops from Kwong Sui, foars that his men may disobey the military rules when off duty and so cause a disturbanco in the City. To find out for himself what the men really were doing during their hours of liberty, he disguised him. self on several occasions as a humble eitizon and took walks throughout the city.but happily found nothing to complain of in the conduct of his men.
