in reshuving a lot of the cargo and baggage, thereby enabling the hore to play on the seat of the fire which was extinguished before 6pm. A large quantity of the pasangers' baggage has been destroyed, while several chests of opium and same scores of hales of jufe were damaged. How the fire originated is not yet positively known, but there seems to be some truth in the theory that the fire was kindled by suspicions 'characters who were on board for the purpose of having an opportunity of looting the baggage of several wealthy passengers who came up from Batavia and Singapore." That a large number of passengers' trunka were smashed open and the contents strewn about there can be no doubt whatever and several passengern allege' that they have lost all their valuables and a geod deal of hard cash. Whether the fire originated in the manner suggested, or by pure accident, or owing to enrgo in an improper con- dition being stored on board is a matter which can only be settled by the Court of Inquiry which will doubtless be held in the course of n' day or two. The Marine Surveyors, Captains E. Burnie and G C. Anderson, were on board this morning in the interests of the insurance com- pantes prior to the order to break balk" being given. The total loss incurred by the fire is as yet unknown, but $10,000 will hardly, it is said, cover the passengers' and shippers' claims, en well as costs of general repairs to the ship herzelf.
"PIGEON" LOTTERIES IN CANTON.
One of the greatest existing evils in Cantos, according to a Chinese contemporary is a mode of gambling called "Pigeon" lottery, which was prohibited by Viceroy Chang Chih-tung, who saw-the evil effects on the people. It induces people to be idle and leads them to commit most atrocious crimes. Many man has been reduced to abject poverty by attempting to obtain wealth by one stroke of good luck,
Since the appointment of Li Han-chang to the Viceroyship of Liang Kuang, the "Pigeon" lottery, has again been opened in the streets, where the people resort most, and legitimate business is greatly interfered with. The pro- minent business men and the citizens have sent In.numberless memorials to the authorities ask- ing them to check this gambling, but none of the bigh officials have given any attention to their petitions. It has been discovered, that the reason of their juaticntion is because a son of one of the highest authorities is a shareholder In one of the largest concerns, and bribes have been accepted by the officials, The streets are. constantly filled with men of uncertain character who are the cause of much nnxiety 'among business men, who fear lest their shops might be robbed at any time. The people actually rob the country folk who think that they might get rich by trying their luck.

The petty thieves, who abound in the city, were originally the reduced poverty-stricken country people. During the years of prohibition the city was almost cleared of them, but since the 7th moon of last year, by the opening of these gainbling Pens, the city is again in danger of being over-run with them. If they are not probl bited, the place will be filled with a dangerous class of people. They will be in time so in- poverished by their gambling proclivities that the Government will have to support them from the revenue. During one year of the reign of Tang Chib, so many people were reduced to deatitution that numbers died of starvation, and Lieut-Governor Chiang issued a very stringent proclamation without the consent of the Viceroy prohĺbiting gambling. If the present high au thorities connive at this great evil, the surely approrching calamity of their subjects. will be attributable to them.

OTTAWA (Ont.), Fehimary 4th. It is understood to-night that Sir John Mac- denald hna received a severe rebuke from the British Government for having made public the text of the proposal of reciprocity he has made through the Bitish Government to the Govern ment of the United States, before it has reached the nuthorities at Washington.
The Canadian mes has not been slow in call ing attention to this great breach of international courtesy, and only excuses the Premier an account of the desperate measures he has been driven to save his Government from an igno- minions defeat when it goes before the country for a vindication of its policy next month.
The British Government insisted upon a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the country upon the question of extended com- mercial intercourse with the United States, in the hope that by some such measure an amicable settlement of masters in dispute between Canada and the United States might be reached. This was the Liberal platform, and how to recede from the position he had taken in opposition to such a measure required all the tact and resources of Sir John.
A few weeks ago, in view of the approaching elections. Sir John informed the country that the United States Government had approached him on the subject of reciprocity, but Secretary Blaine spoiled this by giving an emphatic denial to the statement of the Premier, whereupon Sir John gave a copy of the document to the press before it had reached the United States Govern
ment.
That the Government is fighting a desperate battle is evinced by the means adopted to delude the public into the belief that it is sincere in its efforts to secure more extended trade relations with the United States.
An official dispatch from the Governor-General to Lord Knutsford, Imperial Secretary for the colonies, about Canada's desire for nego- tlations with the United States, has been made public.
It seems that wher the Canadian Gaveminent learned a few weeks ago that negotiations were in progress between New foundland and the United States they made ad. vances, bat Secretary, Bisine insisted that the negotiations be carried on separately. He asked upon what basis the Dominion Government proposed to negotiate, and the dispatch sent to They propose a renewal of the reciprocity treaty the Imperial Secretary outlines their desires. of 1854, with the necessary modifications; re- consideration of the Atlantic fisheries treaty to secure the free admission of Canadiag fish in return for facilities to be granted United States fishermen ; protection of the mackerel and other fisheries in the Atlantic Ocean and inland waters; the relaxation of the seaboard and infand navigation laws; mutual salvage of wrecked vessels, and an arrangement seitling the bound.
