state of affairs: That he did not, and moreover that he had forgotten all he ever knew of the subject, was only too evident. Mr. RYRIE was perfectly well aware that all passengers travelling from Macao or Canton by the steamers of the Company, of which he is Chairman of the Board of Directors. are liable to search by the exelse officers employed by the Opium Farmer, and he also knew thoroughly that, as regards Chinese; the right has been rigorously and offensively exercised for two or three years past. As a matter of fact the honorable gentleman was present and in his place at the Council cable when the infamous Opium Ordinances. Nos, 16 of 1886 and 22 of 1887, became the law of the colony, and had it been otherwise it was his business in his various public capacities to have made himself acquainted with their special provisions. The latter Ordinance provides in section 21 that-

We have personally seen these excite officers (7) forcibly searching passengers' luggage on the Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company's wharf on the arrival of the steamer from Macno-after they had been unceremoniously ejected out of the ship-and conducting themselves like licensed bullies and blackguards of the first water, although they were acting quite illegally as the ordinance gives them no power to interfere with baggage on the wharf without a special serrch warrant from a police magistrate. And the seizures of opium these men make are so insignificant as to be quite unworthy of serious consideration.

But, if the senior unofficial member elected to play the goat' for once, that was no reason why the Government should have followed suit. A simple, and admittedly foolish, question was asked, and a simple, but not necessarily a foolish, answer could easily and ought to have been given. The Government knew that the Opium Farmer's officers had the right to search suspected persons for contraband opium, and also that such right was daily exercised; yet this is the reply the Colonial Secretary is reported to have made
"In reply to the hon. member's question, have to state that the Government has not given or refused sanction in respect to any searching on behalf of the Opium Farmer. Such searches either are, or are not, in accordance with the law. Ifey are not there is a legal remedy."

PLUTOCRACY AND AUTOCRACY,
One very dark night in February last, when the temperature was something under sixty degrees and the tide just beginning to ebb. strongly, a woman either jumped or fell into the Harbour from the Canton Wharf. P.C. McDougall was near by, and on hearing the hahbab ran up. On learning what had happened he jumped straight in after the drowning woman, although dressed in heavy winter clothing. His collie dog, which never misses doing duty with him, lollowed, and between, them they managed to get the woman to a place where she could be bauled out. In doing so, however, McDougali was unfortunate enough to lose several links: from his gold chain.
On Tater date, one afternoon, the Water Police boat No. 15, in charge of Corporal Lun and on rowing alongside heard some one Sau, saw an overturned jank in the Harbour, knocking inside, After vainly trying to right it the corporal decide to dive inside. He accordingly plunged in, and after several attempts got through the narrow entrance to the "cabin." There were two girls inside, and both at once clung to him desperately, but nevertheless he managed to get out with them and bring them, to the surface.
We regret to hear that at the Ice manufactory recently erected on the Klong Kut. Mai by that enterprising firm, Messrs. F.

Four persons were day, June and, which may possibly "interfere seriously injured by scalding, but no deaths have occurred, and we understand that in spite of the accident the factory will be started again in a very short time.
The accident at the Ice manufactory of Messis: Chit and Sons, reported in our last issue, was much more serious then was expected. Four | deaths have been the result of the explosion of one of the drums, The machinery is not damaged much
Bangkok enterprise is developing in a practical way, and gives promise of yet more to come. The shipments of rice and the quantity to be. depended upon have proved sufficient to war- rant the owner of the barquen Elísabeth Rick- mers and Etha Richmers to send them. to Bang kok to load rice on owners' account, the cargoes being purchased in Bremerhaven where the vessels belong. This is possibly the first in- dication of the sailing vessel trade that is to be advanced to some extent between Bangkok and Europe. According to good authority, no doubl the trade will be well sustained within a few years, as the new area of cultivated land in- creases, and larger crops are harvested.
Fruther particulars regarding the advancement of the sailing vessel trade between Bangkok and Europe have recently been obtained by u. That a regular line was to be established to carry rice from Bangkok to Europe we were w aware, but the details were lacking. We lea now definitely that the two vessels mentioned.m our last issue, the Elizabeth Rickmers, and Elka Rickmers, which formerly belonged to the firm of R. C. Rickmers & Co. of Bremen, now belong to the Company which is known as the Rickmers Reismühlen, Rhederei and Schiffban A-G This firin is now the largest rice import- ing firm in Europe, and they own a great sumber of vessels and steamers. A son of one of the partners was lately in Bangkok, the guest f Messrs. A. Markwald & Co., after having visited .;, the rice ports of Burmah and other places. It is certain from what we hear that the rice export trade of Bangkok is largely to be increased in
the near future.
Through the courtesy of the manager of the Bangkok Tramways Company we are able to publish the returns for the month of May :---

Here we have two undoubtedly brave men. Well, a "certain rich man" in Hongkong, Mr. E. R. Belillos, a gentleman whose princely fortune has been mainly derived from local industries and works of philanthropy in con- nection with providing cheap palaces for the poor, bas kindly patronised them! It is not the first time he has done this. In 1884, by gener- foudly wetting aside about two hours' income, he founded what is ostentatiously called the "Belitios Sir." He put something under a thousand dollars in the hands of Dr. Eitel and Mr. J. J. Francis, and authorised them to invest it for the purpose of buying a sort of medal to give to any body who performed specially heroic deed. The star was designed-it is a fire-worky plate of metal about three inches across, surrounded by wavy spikes, and with a kind of a sort of a bas-relief in the middle showing somebody running away from a fire. It is about five times too big for a medal and a little too small to be of utility as a frying pan, and probably it cost a dollar. No well regulated policeman would dream of | Ponina, food and suble requistics weyring it. To make its acceptance more probable, therefore, a twenty-five dollar note generally accompanies it, together with a printed guarantee, signed by the trustees, that no harm is intended by the donor. One example of this moneycratic medal is donated about once a quarter, so that four times a year, in perpetuity, Mr. Belilios smells the sweet savour of notoriety as a philanthropist, all for a thousand dollars spent in 1884. Strange to say, H. E, the Governor actually lends himself to the farce, and almost makes the presentation a real one by taking the principal part in it. He did so to-day.'
