THI N. C. Daily News. understands that both parties to the late unpleasantness between the Russian authorities and the Viceroy of Hukenang. as to the reception of the Crareylich, have deter mined to ignore the fact that there ever was any difficulty between them. The Viceroy, our old Idend and admirer Chang Chih-tung, is very anxious that foreigners should disailss from their rainds altogether the Idea that he is at all inimical to them, and he deeply regrets that so mistaken a notion should ever have been enter- Lained. We quite believe all the Viceroy says. He is by far the ablest of Chinese statesmen, and the one who has been most unjustly abused and calumniated by foreigners. Li Hung-chang had his great rival removed from Canton because ke foared his rapidly growing influence and Independent policy. It was a bad job for the City of Rams when Chang was transferred to Mokong.
ANOTHER new training ship for prospective sallors of the Siamese Navy is, says the Bangkok Timst, now being got ready at the Royal Dock Yard, and in a few weeks more will be put on the active list. We refer to the Theon Kramon, a very serviceable sailing vessel which has long fain at anchor totally neglected, but is now being renovated, and at very small expense will be made as good as a new ship, This vessel will be of very great use in paying periodical visits to the coast ports, and on such voyage the yeung sailors can be instructed in the principles of their profession and trained in the practice of it. It only recently that train- ing ships in the Siamese Navy have secured the. attention they deserve, but the recognition of their value is, we are glad to see, becoming sufficiently extensive to secure their institution, And in this respect Slam is following in the wake
of other Eastern nations.

This asset, in we learn that the feud has ended at last and accordance with the terms of sale, passes to the that Mr. Mitchell will in fature be allowed to purchasers of the estate. practise his profession, with it is preramed, the gracious consent of the august court in question. We have to acknowledge the receipt of the annual report of the Hongkong Seamen's Chaplaincy for 1890, which is got up in an exceptionally neat and complete style. The report reviews the work of the past year, and dwells specially upon the subject of the launch of the mission team launch Dayspring, and the Sunday labour question. Concerning the latter the chaplain, the Rer. A. G. Goldsmith, days :—“ With regard to the Important question of Sunday labour in the Harbour, to which the attention of the Home Gorernment was drawn during the year, it is a matter for congratulation that there seams now to be a general agreement that unnecessary labour on Sunday should cease, If this feeling grows, it should not be impossible to devise a plan by which this vexed question, may bé set at reat."

The brave" was taking up much more than his legal share of the sidewalk, and when he was passing Messrs. Kelly and Walsh's store, two foreigners had to get off the footpath in order to let alma pass. The foreign policeman on duty seeing this went up to the soldier and told him he must carry his bundles out on the road. The latter seemed inclined to argue about the matter and cammenced talking to the policeman in a very load and rude way. A crowd of gaping Chinese and some foreigners were now gathering round the pair and the policeman seeing that traffic was likely to be interrupted and anxious to cut short the discussion, caught the soldier. ander the arms without another word, lifted him, right up and threw him bundles and all out into the middle of the road. The messure was effective. The soldier rose to his feet quickly, gathered up his scattered goods and chattels and proceeded on his way in the middle of the road So much for lord Wolseley's chosen troops!

THE SONGEI KÖYAH PLANTING COMPANY,
+ LIMITED,
The second ordinary general meeting of share. holders in the above named Company was held at the office of the General Managers, No. 6, Ice House Lane, at noon to-day (Feb. 27th), for the purpose of receiving the report of the Consulting Commitee, with a statement of accounts for the year ending 30th November, 1890. There were present:-Messrs. C. S. Sharp (Chairman); W. B. Layton, W. Wotton, H. L. Dalrymple. (Directors) S. I. Danby, 1. S. Perry, N. J Gomes, S. A. Joseph, A Lun, and L. Hallward (Secretary).
The Chairman said he had to apologise for the late hour at which the report bad heen placed in the hands of the shareholders. It had been. necessary to get certain information, both from drawn up,-however, as soon as possible... It was London and Sandakan before closing the report, and that accounted for the delay. He regratied the report and accounts were not very brilliant, but still they were better than he anticipated at one time. Certain additional items of faforma- tion, which were required by the Board before drawing up the balmce sheet, were to hand, and would be found in the report furnished to the shareholders. He had nothing further to say except to express his great regret at the unfavourable appearance of the accounts. The 1889 crop, be begged to add, had been sold in Amilerdam at 70 guilder cents per pound, us was reported on the talk instant by wire,' That war a better price than they expected it to fetch. The total value of the sales was not stated in the accounts in dollars, because they were not yet in a position to estimate the charges-that would be done later on. As they were aware the sale of the Company's assets had been effected, a good deal of the money had been paid already, and he thought the balance would be forthcoming at an early date. Before moving the adoption of the report and accounts be would be pleased to answer any questions relative to the same.
Mr. Gomes-You have not entered the value of sales of tobacco In the accounts.

I got three more, and also had food, placed near him. He was alive when I was relieved from duty by Inspector Perry at oa.m. on the 19th. He had taken no food. Before the Colonial Surgeon left the station on the previous night, he gave me the certificate produced. I had the chair fumigated.
The Chairman said-Gentlemen, I propose that the report and accounts, which have been your hands for several days, he taken as reid, and in reviewing them in the usual brief manner I think I may say they are, on the whole, very Batisfactory.

The body was then of Chinese male adult, between 30 and 40 years of age, fairly well built, but thỉn. His face was covered with a large scab and some scars which, when removed, showed depression of the skin about the size of a shilling. There was evidence on the general organs of syphilis. The internal organs were sound, and the heart healthy. There were evidences of old syphilitic disease on the lver and spleen. In my opinion, death was Caused by exhaustion owing to want of food. He must have been without sufficient food, for a week or two. 1 attribute his death entirely to the absence of food. I could not say he was a leper from post mortem appearances. He had no post mortem evidences of being a leper. He might have been in an early stage of leprosy without shewing any evidences of the diseand. The scars on the face were syphilitic only. Such marks are distinguish- able from leprosy. One never gets leprosy to such an extent that it arises, to spare on the ce without evidences on other parts of the body. There were no such symptoms visible elsewhere. Another thing, the form of leprosy the deceased was supposed to have was what is called tubercular lepray.

I looked specially for laprosy on the skin and nerves but could not ånd any trace whatever, and yet it might be there.
