Under the latter heading the Philadelphia { Press announces that the President of the United States has appointed Mr. Tain Ching Chung to be interpreter to the U. S. Consulate at Amoy. Now, all the Eastern world knows that in respect to American Consular representation, Amoy is the most favored port in all the Orient, for the noted man who watches over and guard the interests of his nationals there, is not only the wittlest and the, wisest, but also the most "solid" representative that any foreign country can boast of in this part of the world to-day, a In the person of Doctor Edward Bedloe backed up as he is by his bright and cher the Hon.

His early training was gained in the Norwich Connecticut Academy from which institution he graduated with high honors, receiving first prize for thetoric and declamation-no light feat this, for a foreigner to perform. He subsequently followed out a course of scientific studies at Yale, and had the proud distinction of being the only Chinese graduate from that distinguished College. Besides his other brilliant accomplishments Ching has the mastery of nice languages. He also possesses an absolate knowledge of both Chinese and American lawa, and to this as well as to the fact that he is a most enthusiastic American Citizen fed to his nomination, by Doctor Bedloe, to the Amoy Consulate.

THE MEKONG VALLEY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Horakove Telzanath," SIR,-In these days when certain French colonial Chauvintars counting upon the alleged lethargy of the Siamese nation-talk so glibly of the necessary (1) spoilation of Slam; and at a 'time when Saigon and Haiphong newspapers openly advocate such a policy, it is certainly reassuring to a portion of the foreign communky to find that Siam in preparing to guard herself -against any encroachments from the Annam.
Tonquin quarter,
to:
Now that their Royal Highnesses Krom Mun Hichjit, Krom Mun Pracbak and Prince Santrasit, all energetic men, have been charged with administering the affairs of the lower middle and upper Mekong regions, respectively; and while his Excellency Phya Surisak is bound in the same direction, it is to be hoped that our lively friends across the berder will cease to cast longing eyes upon the said territories, or trouble their brains about, "dispelling the cimmerian darkness," which, according to our local oracle, "Still wraps this magnificent valley in its sable mantle," the finding of new trade routes, the ascension of rapids and other fatigu- ing and risky work, they had better leave to Siam, and rest a while on the laurels they have earned. As regards the inhabitants of there regions, and the feeble attempt made by Saigon and Haiphong papers to prove that the Lacsians would welcome French protection in the place of Siamese nile, a Laosians prince to whom I lately spoke simply ridiculed the idea, stating that the Lacsigns dread France owing to that Power having appropriated Annam and Tonquin, It should, however, be borne in mind that while volatile French politicians have, in their fertile brains, already sliced Slam, and while the Press of Indo-China teems with sinister allusions, the French Government remains in a passive mood, thus assuring the amicable relations hitherto maintained between Slam and France.
Considering, however, that it is the constitu tional policy of France, to Increase her power and Influence in the Far East, one cannot help asking why the Siamese Government' has so Long delayed coming to a definite settlement with France in regard to the delimitation of the Annam boundaries ?
In the olden times, under the French Empire, France would have been glad enough to stick to the strip of land along the Annam sea coast; ander the Jales Forry regime, M. de Kergaradec actually proposed to Slam, the watershed of the Mekong as the boundary i And it was only the other day that a French politician stated our Indo-China possessions are incomplete without the Incorporation of Slam."
The sooner the boundary question is definitely settled, the better for Slam and those States whose merchants have bona Ada commercial Interests at stake,
I am, Sir,
Yours truly,

H. M. the King turned the first sod of a Stamese railway, the Bangkok-Paksam line, on the 15th July. His Majesty has subscribed half of the capital necessary to construct and equip the lloe, and the contractors have to hand over the railway, steam up, on the 1st April 1893.
The Slam Electric Light Company, we are informed, confidently expect to commence sup- plying the new illuminant early next week. For this blessing the thanks of the general public and shareholders in the Company will be due to the hard and conscientious work of the engineers and linemen who have worked day and night in erecting the light generators, machinery, insulators, dynamos, and numbers of things we wot not of. The slight delay which has occurred in the opening of the works has been due to the regrettable indisposition of Mr. A. W. Lawson, the able Superintending Engineer.
Between noon on Monday and noon yesterday 1 inches of rain fell at Bangkok which bas aufficed for the farmers to commence ploughing in earnest. But much more rain is requisite before the planting out of the rice can be effected. However, the temperature is much lower (80 deg. F. yesterday forenoon) than it has been for the past three months, the sky is over- cast, and there is every prospect of a consider- able rainfall during the current month.

Canton, 3rd August, 1891. - The typhoon which threatened Hongkong yesterday has not been felt here to-day beyond the force of a fall gule of wind, which com- menced early this morning. The Powan felt the full force of the gale during the night, lying com fortably at anchor in Castle Peak bay, and left at 6 a.m. when the wind moderated and barometer (which went down as far as 29.36) began to rise. and came up in about six hours with wind sad tide to her favour, showing the old craft to be as staunch, and, as well to the fore, as of yore. The whole of the level country on either side of the river for miles inland is inundated, but having, thanks to Dr. Deberek, had timely warning of the blow, the Chinese had taken all precaution and not a single accident to junk or boat is reported, or was sighted.
The steamship Anger Road passed down
from Whampoa at 10.30 am, having completed
| her discharge of Krupp guns..
There has been some difficulty between the out-going and in-coming Provincial Treasurers in settling their cash balances, but this, not an unusual ecurrence with such officials in China, is expected to be adjusted in a day or two, when the late incumbent will leave for Hankow to take up his post as Provincial Treasurer of Hopeh under the Viceroy Chang Chib-tung. Like a prudent man the old Fantal took advan- tage of an opportunity, under cover of the excuse of officially inspecting the Bogue forts, to convey his savings, reported at Taels 1,000,000, to Hongkong, and safely deposited the same in the Backs there, previous to his successor's arrival. At the time of the Powan's departure 5.pm. I was still blowing a fairly live gale, with heavy
rain, with the bas ometer stationary at 29.50,
