The proposed pay of the Chief Inspector, $1,560, appears to me rather too small in com- parison with the pay of the other Inspectors, and I am willing that it should be raised to $1,680-the present personal allowance of Mr. Cradock (supposing he is confirmed in this appointment, as to which I am awaiting your recommendations), being merged in this revised
1alary.
23-Gools-As in the case of the Superlaten- dent of Police explained at the beginning of the Inst paragraph, the salary of the Superintendent of the Gaol should only be raised to $4,146 Instend of $4,566; and I regret that I see no sufficient reason, now that the salary le raised, for continuing to Major General Gordon the personal allowance granted to him on the ground of the Insufficiency of the quarters in the Gaal, tepecially as his family appear to be residing to England and not to the Colony. The salary of the Warden of the Gast will also require revision In connection with quarters, but in this case the value of the quarters in 1875 is not given in enclosure II to the despatch under acknowledge

2-in reply to the 4th paragraph of Mr. Fleming's despatch, I have to explain that it was not my intention that the privilege of making family remittances above the market rate of exchange should be withdrawn except in cases where the increase of salary now granted will more than cover, the loss which would be caused by the withdrawal of this privilege, I am willing to allow those who will receive less than twenty per cent, increase on their 1890 salaries to retain the privilege, but I adhere to the decision that it should be withdrawn in the case of those who are receiving as much as twenty per cent. increase. Those who retain the privilege under this ruling will apparently he Sir. J. Russell, Dr. Ayres, Mess.

I do not know who be 'D, but am certain that only Hongkong could produce such a master of dilatory delicacy and bebetudinous delight. We have masters of delay and children of yesterday in Amoy, anthropold organisms who would decorate a museum, or who would and could edit some Hongkoar journals with rare fitness-but they are unworthy of comparison with the person who delivers our TelegrapA, And the style and variety wherewith the issues are delivered to every person and place except. ing myself deserves, particular mention -and approbatory comment. They are thrown into native hongs where English is as good as Greek; into sailors' boozing kens and Malay oplum- jolats; into disused chapels and ruined järs- houses, One was found in a mortuary chapel i another in the hold of a Matila steamer, and a third in the court-room of the Britlah Consulate.

I have pondered over the evidences of cerebra tion displayed by your delivery clerk and I find that his system is about as follows:-end laste one to Amoy by a sailing vessel; larue two by a fast sleamer which does not stop hers; inste three by favor of a passenger going South four by a rampan; five by a trading funk-but none by the Post Offical

The Toung-li Yamen a short time ago sent a memorial in to the Throne, setting forth that in several provinces mobs of rioters have destroyed the churches of the foreign missionaries, and praying his Majesty to issue (estructions as speedily as possible to the various Viceroys, Tartar-Generals and Governors, for the devising of means to check this destructive rioting. The memorial polated out how in the 4th moon of this year foreign churches were burned, pulled down and looted by secret societies at Wuhe in the Anhwei Province; how similar things happened at Tanyang in Kiangsu Province, and at Wusich in Hupch, two foreigners being killed by the rioters at the latter place. The memorial maintained that the leaders of the rioters should be caught and severely dealt with, and the foreigners and their churches in China'should be fully protected.

*June 6th. His Excellency Li Hung-chang is expected to arrive here on his return journey on the 10th inst, per the China Merchants' steamer Hatan
is reported that Li, by virtue of his office RS High Commissioner for Korean affairs, took in the Land of the Morning Calm in his tour of inspection.
The Board of Admiralty have decided to work. the coal and iron mines about 65 / west of Peking, récently inspected by Messrs. Pringle and Hedgkinson. Mr. John Pringle left here on the and ins, to inspect all the mines lying to the north-west and south east of Newchwang and. Moukden, as far as the borders of Korea and Kirio. The district was survey last year by Messin, Kinder and Company on behalf of the Kalping Mining Company, and the working of the mineral deposits bas been sanctioned by an Imperial Decree, dated October 20th, 1890, and by an Admiralty order of the same date. This decree and order were addressed to Messrs, Sim and Pih, who, on November 18th last year, made an agreement with a British firm in London to work the mines. Some of them have been already tapped, notably that which supplies- the Kirin Arsenal with coals, but the methods emplored are the most primitive in use among the natives, and consequently the output is not at all adequate with the tremendous resources of the mine. But the London firm are sending out expert workers, and when they come we may expect to see very different results, for the regions simply abounds in coal and petroleum.

The first Hanau city at which we called was Yochow Fo. It occupies an elevated, highly ting lake, and is well known to foreigners. In picturesque situation at the mouth of the Tung. former years the people there used to stone all who came that way with the utmost impartiality; it is only within the last year or two that they have learned to deny themselves that pleasure. The shops and business places are all out- sido the walls in a suburb on the south sides within the walls there are only a few residences, and the usual official buildings and temples, otherwise it is an empty shell. Notwith standing, the authorities for a long time were strongly opposed to our entering it. Even after we were able to stay and work in the suburb in peace any attempt to enter a gate was sure to lead to an uproar, Wher, at last, we obtained "the freedom of the city and found nothing there, it reminded one of the Scotsman who fought so long and vigorously, in defence of an empty purse that the highwayman declared "had there been but sixpence in it he would have killed me."
