A Chinaman was killed by a sunstroke the other day in the Legation street; as usual in China the body was kept lying under a mat for several days near the police station, in order to hold an inquest on the spot. The foreign representatives would do well to urge on the Chinese Government to depart from this rule at least in the vicinity of the Legation. if the foreign settlement had been made somewhere outside the city, we should have been spared many such annoyances. Could not some enterprising merchant or capitalist buy some ground in the Western Hills and build a sanitarium there? It would be quite a paying speculation.

THE BISHOP OF LIMERICK AND
THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
On the 11th June, Dr. Dwyer, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Limerick, who has Intely made himself conspicuous in connection with the Pope's interference in Irish politics, delivered a lengthy address to the clergy of his diocese at a synod meeting..
He urged that by the Papal decree the practices of "boy calling" and Plan of Campaige, as they exist in Ireland, stand condemned as a violation of the moral law of charity and justice, "This," he added, "is no longer a matter of opinion. It is now the settled and certain law of the Catholic Church, which all the faithful of this diocese are bound to take from me as their Bishop, that these practices are sinful, and it is even more sinful as being against faith to defy or impugnt under any pretext the right of the Pope to condemn them."
Ha further observed: "Eo for zs my-authority as Bishop goes I will exercise it to put down coyert as well na open attacks upon our supreine teacher in the church. Nothing would give me greater pain than to have to exercite my jurisdic Lion in this regard, but so deeply and strongly do I feel the paramount importance of maintaining the authority of the Pope in his teaching on the question of morals, that to consideration of personal annoyance to which I may be subjected will prevent me from using all the means in my power for that purpose. It would be better, in my opinion, to run the risk by the strong and, determined action of putting a few rebellious Catholics outside of the fold, than to allow a fatal and ruinous principle that goes to the foundation of church authority to pass uncha
lenged and become a precedent,
"But,
very reverend fathers, I hope and trust In God that such an issue will not be forced upon us, but, if it is; we will not shrink from it. This decree of the Pope's is final and unalterable and you might as well expect to put back the sun in its.course as to undo it ; and unless those who ate in opposition to it hope to trample on the conscience of the ecclesiastical teachers of Ireland and terrorize them into revolt against the Pope, I do not see what they expect to gain by their present agitation. I said it before and 1 repeat it, that the result for them will be the wreck and ruin of their own political organiza- and the putting back of home rule for Ireland perhaps for a generation.
"This is not the place to talk politics, and I don't want to do so further than I think ne» cessary to prevent a mitunderstanding of my position at the present crisis.. I am a nation alist, I believe, as true and as sound as the best of y
of you. I have never wayered in my belief in Home Rule for Ireland, I am a land reformer. I detest as camestly as any man the oppression of heartless landlords, and would go to any length sanctioned by religion to restrain them, I believe there will never be prace in Ireland or prosperity until every farmer is the owner of his own farm, and I say prepared to give every legitimate aid, according to my position, any political agitation for these ends; but from that agitation must be eliminated whatever is against God's law, I don't care what advantage brings to the farmers.or others. If it puis a gold mine in the heart of every farmer, and abolishes all rent forever, if it is condemned by the church I will not have it, but accept the decision of our own father, Christ's vicar, who is placed by his exalted office above the passions and self-interest that often blind us, and who has no motive in all he does but God's honor and our salvation. Cut off what be condemns and there is no Bishop in Ireland who will throw himself with more heart or determination into this movement than I."

Since the Cheang Hye Teng | jt. left, no cases of cholera have been reported, excepting the ordinary summer complaints caured by eating unripe fruit, and even of these there have been fewer this year than customary.
