JAMES GORDON BENNETT Cables from Rome, under date the 16th ulta.-I forecasted last week the candidacy of Mgr. Sigliara to succeed Leo Xili. It is now a public matter. His Eminence is the youngest of the college of Cardinals, being in his fifty-sixth year. He was [5 born at Conifacio, Corsica, and took orders as a Dominican monk. The Italians affect to look upon Sigliara as the candidate of the French Government, but, although born in Corsica, his citizenship. His candidacy is supported by the Dominicans, and also by the Jesuits, who at first were inclined to support Cardinal Farrocchi. He, aise, is on the best of terms with Leo XIII. The most formidable competitor of Sigiliura for the triple crown is Monsignor Sanfelice, Cardinal.

A GOVERNMENT notification above the signature, of Mr. A. Lister, Acting Colonial Secretary appears in the Gazette of Saturday last. Alfred wants lenders for the purchase of waste food from Victoria Gaol, for the ensuing year, com- mencing 1st December, 1899. Thli, the Honor able gentleman informs us, consists of kitchen refuse and waste rice, congee, vegetables, fish, etc., averaging 100 lbs. daily." What a falling off is there! Only fancy the British Govern ment of Hongkong huckstering over waste food, kitchen refuse, etc., etc. What will the success ful contractor do with this garbage, eher Allred? If it is fit for human food, are there no starving beggars in the street, to whom it would be a god-send? If it is not, what about the danger of spreading disease throughout the colony? Mr. Lister, if he were asked to come down from the lofy pinnacle his own imagination has elevated him to, would possibly say that this waste food, kitchen refu e, congee, vegetables, fish, etc., is used by Chinese for feeding their pigs; but he would be very far from the actual state of the case in this assertion. It would be well worth while i quiring to what actual purposes this kitchen refuse and waste food-are-applied. But anyhow, the Government is playing the game very low down when it calls thr ugh the official Gazette for tender for decayed rice, vegetables and fish, the "leavings" of the not too bounteously-fed prisoners in Victoria Gaul,
A RETURNED. Chinese from California was brought before Mr. H. E. Wodehouse this morning at the Police Court for having assaulted Mr. Clerihew, Inspector of Nuisances. The Inspector stated that as he was strolling along the Praya' at the foot of Centre Road last evening, about seven o'clock, he saw the defendant standing across the gangway plank of one of the rubbish boats moored alongside the Praya, As the road at that point was being mended and in a great state of confusion he thought the defendant was obstructing the rubbish coolies in their way to the boats, and consequently be gave

Mr. Wodehouse, apparently detecting something very much like what prize fighters call a "mouse" on the left optic of the defendant, thought possibly that the "assault" might have been all the other way, especially as the Inspector acknowledged that he did not give the defendant his reasons for asking him to move away from the rubbish boat's plank. The Intpector's story, therefore, evidently being required to be taken cum grano salis, his Worship dismissed the case."
