ANOTHER MASON IN THE FIELD. To the Editor or the "Hoxokong Telegraph," Sta. As your paper is particularly given to straightforwardness and bold declaration of views, permit me, In default of other means of speaking out, as the most honest course and fa| hoper that albers will follow my example, to announce that I wish to join the Kolao Hul.
My reasons are so simple that I am surprised they have not let many to adopt them, and the foreign Governments to show some favour to the
movement.
(1) China is badly governed. Her administra tion is in such a state of chronic chaos, so con- stantly condemned by everybody who encounters It in any of its innumerable and unconscionable tortuosliles, that I need not dwell on it.
(2) The Chinese national character la so unal terable and an crystallised that there is practically no prospect of smelloration. The millennium will have to leave Chins oUR.

may deem advisable with reference to the directors' remuneration. With these remarks, il and, as recommended by them in their report, an move that :-The directors' accounts be passed
interim dividend of 7 per cent, be paid for the last halk-year.
Mr. M. G. King seconded the motion, which! on being put to the meeting, was carried unanimously.
Mr. G. S. Murray--I think that thanks are due to the directors of the Company for their very excellent report, which has been issued to you, and which you have just teken as read. The Chairman in his speech has referred to the very paltry remuneration which the directors' have drawn during the past half-year for altending to our interests in, I may say, a very careful and satisfactory way. I do not think any of us can, for a momenty say that the fee of $485 paid to the directors for their services in. earning the sum of $18,000 is adequate remuneration for the services rendered. The directors have benefited by their past experiences in other companies and have brought that experience to bear in the interest of our Company and I think we ought to show our appreciation of their services in soma substantial way. I beg therefore to bring forward two propositions:-
That in recognition of their past services a sam of one thousand dollars be paid to the Directors to be equally divided amongst them.
When that first resolution has been passedil have another to bring forward :-

The right wing, from Messrs. A. S. Watson by the English, French, and the Customs Corps, & Co.'s to the French Consulate, will be defended under the command of Caplain de Fleurac.
The left wing, from Messrs. Collie & Co.'s Germans, under the command of Major Richter, to the Temperance Hall will be defended by the and the Japanese under Commander Hosora.
The Russiansand Americans, with missionaries and other gentlemen not grouped fo the above sections, will form the Reserve, at the Town Hall,

It is more than I can do alone to develop the programme in detail, but with a few good men it would not be difficult to secure so much outside ald that the reform party's demands should be entertained, their justice recognised and urged on the Emperor by his own advisers and the friendly Powers. It all depends on the extent to which foreigners will openly express what in private they all feel.
In now appealing to all white men to aid in this bloodless revolution, I am aware that the question arises--what if it falls ? If negotiations are unsuccessful, and the members of the Kolao, European and Chinese, are declared traitors? If the Society is cornered and compelled to defend itself-by-force? The answer is that at the point, where violence beglas (the recent rlots being dissociated from what I am now discussing) at this point, Europeans mart cease active connection with the Society, or they continue, as few might, they take their chances, knowing that they are at once out. lawed; they declare war against China, and with the Kolno zink or swim.

1. At the public meeting held in the Gordon Hall on Saturday, the 76th September, a Defence Commitee, const og of Messrs. Buckbeister, Detring, de Figurac, Gritor Hosoy, Kingsley, Maitland, Michie. Pothier," Poutlata, Richter, and Startsch, wra appointed to mature and decide upon the merits 13 by taken (subject to the endorsement of the Br!''sh and French municipalities) In defence of life pod property in the Foreign settlemen', in css of rots.
11.-Residents should keep their arms and signal of alarm being given they should repair
at once to their respective posts,
12.--In case of alarm the following signal will
be made :-
Two buglers will make the round of the settle- meat and sound the alarm; the bells of all churches will be sung continuously; a red fing wil be displayed from the Town Hall by day, and a red lamp. by night, when three rockets
also will be fired.
13-On the alarm being given all women and children will repair at once to the Town Hall, where every comfort, medical and other, will be provided that may be possible under the circumstances.
14-When residents abandon their houses they should see that all entrances are close and barricaded,
15.In case of fire occurring within the milltary lines, the force will be called out to guard the approaches to the settlement and prevent crowds collecting. The Fire Alarm will be: Gongs rapidly beaten through the streets There will be no occasion for families to leave their houses as in the case of a general alarm..
16.-It would be desirable, if possible, that the occupants of houses on either side Victoria Road should provide means of communication from one compound to another parallel to the streef, so as to admit of the force while leaving the street itself clear for artillery fire.
17-In addition to the military and other precautions above referred to the residents may be further assured that such diplomatic resources as are at the disposal of the Committee for the maintenance of peace have not been, and will not be, negincted."
18Finally, the Committee have perfect confidence in the efficacy of the delence, so long as the community remains united.

The motion was then seconded by Mr. Nathan. Mr. Graham said that, before the motion was

if the directors proposed a small bonus for them
would be for the good of the Company, '
Mr. Reid pointed out that a percentage on dividends declared is given to the manager, and new arrangement of a similar kind was under now declared Mr. Dunman would draw about consideration for his assistant. On the dividend
$600 of bonus. The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously.
The Chairman on behalf of the directors thanked the shareholders for having passed the resolution. It was graillying for them to know that their services had been appreciated; and for himself and his brother directors he would say that so long as they remained on the boared the laterests of the company would be at heart.
Mr. G. S. Murray then moved that an extra- ordinary general meeting, be held on Friday, 23rd instant, for the purpose of submitting the resolution of which he had given notice in the terms mentioned above.
Mr. Nathan seconded, and the motion was carried.
Mr. Reid further offered the remark that the bonus system to the manager was quite auto matic in its action. The sum he would draw for bonus was already treated as a ilablity of the Company.
The Chairman having intimated that the coupons were payable at the New Oriental Bank this day, the meeting closed with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.-Straits Times.
