that during previous more acceptable Executive administrations the estimates for the construc. tion of the Tytam Water Werks most marvellously decreased while under the present universally admitted Impotent and incapable administration they have just as marvelously increased, and we put the question to our Lallow tax-payers Would you rather have Tytam Water Works costing £50,000 built under the supervision of Governor Sir John Pope Hennessey and Councilor would you rather have a Tytam Water Works costing €166,400 balll under the supervision of Governor Sir George Ferguson Bowen and Surveyor General Price?

THE GREAT SHIPPING SCANDAL. "The quality of Mercy is not strained,
At drippeth as the gentle rain from heaven."
TO THE BOTTOR OF THE "Hongkong (Telegrarn." SIR-These touching lines of the immortal bard contain the essence of our privileged existence past and present, and of our hopes for a fature; and he who dares to abjure their beautiful meaning must be at once contemned and forthwith treated as a tyrant of the basest
land.
In the case of Mr. James Wiltshire, late second officer of the steamer Swngkiang, commented on in your valuable lesuo of Saturday last, when the Magistrate, "an upright judge, a noble judge," prompted the prosecutors in the interests of a merciful forbearance; the decision or verdict demanded, In opposition to this prompting, with its degrad ing penalty, the most severe in its form possible to the character of a man who during the Sity years of his life has never entered a prison cell, was undoubtedly the most terrible effort in the direction of fendal administration that "has ever come to the light of day in the history of this Colony,
Now, Mr. Editor, there is only one way of effectively dealing with this grievous scandal, and that is to treat Butterfield and Swire to a ralutary dose of their own medicine. The remedy, a perfectly legal and justifiable remedy, la in the hands of the ships' officers themselves, and the loca! Mercantile Marine Omicers Association should at once take the initiative, Mr. Edwin, Mackintosh has had his pound of flashy let him enjoy his temporary triumph, and deal with him according to his own standard— as he dealt with Mr. Wiltshire.
It is not necessary for me to say more." If the Marine Officers' Societies in the Far East Eave any backbone in them, they can at a glance discover the mode of action necessary to obtain ample satisfaction for this cruel and utterly sojustifiable wrong to which one of their members has been most unjustly, and unmercifully subjected. And they ought to set forthwith,
not a mommt should be lost,
Wishing a hearty success to any, effort that may be made in this matter..

The natives here never stem to be without some general ailment of one kind or another. The latest is lnfidenza, caused no doubt by the sudden change from the antumn weather of a week ago to the summer closeness now prevail. ing. Their poor feeding renders them, very susceptible to sudden atmospheric changes, and when one considers the dirty state of their streets and dwellings, the wonder is that the general health is as good as it is.
The destitution at this port at present is shocking, and it is no doubt on the increase as winter draws near, A warning that has been given to the rice dealers by the authorities, shows that the latter, are fully alive to the seriousness of the situation, and they are certainly doing all in their power to alleviate the existing distress.

We learn on good authority that some of the up-county men made fina teas this year in obedience to the orders of the Government and they are landed with heavy losses in consequence, buyers preferring the lower grades. Instead, therefore, of being able to bless their Govern ment, they are pouring forth their maledictions upon it. We can qulte understand this. We know that such orders or recommendations were given. The middle men have done their best and been disappointed, not knowing that the orders were intended for the growers. These latter folk go on placking tea from worn out plants, growing in exhausted soil which is never Inovated by manure of any kind. How is any better ten to be obtained under these circum- #tances?
A meeting was held at the Club on Thursday evening, Oct. 15th, under the Chairmanship of H.B.M's Consul to discuss the question of arms, The Consul said that he could procure from Hongkong to Martini-Heary rifles and ammunt- tion for 150, and would like to know the views of those present with regard to buying the said rifles.
After a discussion as to meeting this expendi- ture, or the usefulness of procuring the rides. Mr. Slemasen said the first question to decide was, now that affairs seemed quiet, the advise bility of continuing the formation of a Volunteer Corps. A subscription list had been on the table at the Club for many days and only a few men had put their names down for subscriptions.
Mr. Chambers proposed that the Consai tele- graph to Lord Salisbury, that as our only pro tector, H.M.S. Plover, had been withdrawn from the part, we should be supplied with rifles to protect ourselves.
The chief obstacle to the proper formation of our Volunteer corps is the question of arms. It is undoubtedly necessary, lfthe community wish to arm themselves to resist attacks from a mob, that all the rifles should be of the same pattern, as in such case all would be able to procure soltable ammunition.

RENEWED RURAL RUMBLINGS ROUND AMOY.

Amay, October 24th, 1891.. The recent riots, repeatedly recurring in the rebellious regions of this rural district, have lately occupied a prominent place in the public press thanks mainly to the continued series of reliable and trustworthy reports which, at great personal risk, a distinguished fellow resident has had the courage to furnish you with, so your readers will be to some extent prepared for the startling news I am now about to relate.

After dinner Mr. Vaughan and Captain Daly sat chatting together on the quarter-deck until 9 o'clock, when the captale went below, leaving Mr. Vaughan on deck, and it was supposed that he retired shortly afterwards. About 6 o'clock the following morning the boy went to call Mr. Vaughan to take his bath, which he had ordered the previous night, but could not ånd him. The ship arrived at Port Dickson about 7.30 and was then searched high and low for the missing gentle. man, but without success. In the cabin were found his coat, with the watch and chain in the pocket, and his email skull-cap. The ship is well ralled in, and it is practically impossible for anyone to fall over through the ralls. Captain Daly is at a loss to understand how M. Vaughan got off the ship. Mr. Superintendent Bell was on board investigating the matter at Malacca and he telegraphed to the Singapore police to continue enquiries. Mr. Vaughan's effects have been handed over to the authorities.

Mr. Vanghan was a midshipman in the Bengal Marine, and had a good deal of hard experience in the China War in the forties.
