Jecwah Singh, P.C, 584, stated :—About 9.05 tast night I heard a man cryfag "policeman" in Queen's Road Central, near the City Hall. On running up I saw defendant with his ricksha, followed by complainant. I asked defendani what the matter was, but he did not auswer. Complainant then told me to take defendant to the Station. Defendant was about opposite the laze between the Bank and the City Hall, to the west of the fountain. Complaisant was about three yards behind the rickshawhen I came up. I did not see the rickiba go out of the lane. The position I saw it in led me to believe that the rickska was coming from Wanchal. Complaisant appeared to have been drinking, though******** walking

A rather strange outcome of this terrible accurrence cropped up at the Magistracy this morning, when, upon a charge of maliciously daing damage by throwing stones on the roof of house at Sbaskiwan being called before Mr. Sercombe Smith, Acting Inspeater Hall explained that the case would have to be dropped as the complainant bad been shot. He then explained, saying that the youth shot at the station last night had arrested the defendant and brought him to the station, and would have been the chief witness for, the prosecution. Ar the youth in question had been "done for " by a Sikh tranper who had blown his own brains ont, there was no alternative but to withdraw the case altogether, no other witnesses being pro- curable.
His Worship agreed, and then gave orders for a fost mortem examination of the bodies in the Mortuary, and fixed 2 p.m. on Wednesday for an Inquiry into the maider and suicide” abore recorded.
THE SANITARY BOARD. A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held this afternoon, Mr. F. A. Cooper (Director of Public Works) prealded, and there were also present Dr. J. M.

Mr. Hugh McCallum (Secretary),
MINUTES,
The mingles of the last. meeting were read and confirmed.
CONSERVANCY BOAT ANCHORAGE.
A vast amount of correspondence, which bas passed between the Civil and Military authorities, relating to the anchorage of conservancy boats off Stoneciters' Island, was laid on thé taħla, The officers in command of the barracks there complain that an abominable steach reaches them at times, and ask that another anchorage be selected. The Secretary of the Board reported that he had been over there several times and could detect no stench, even when close
to the boats.
The following minutes were attached to the correspondence —
Mr. Ede. From my own observation there is no doubt that the stench is abominable at least half a mile to feeward. The question is, can an anchorage
age be selected which will prevent the smell teaching the shore, whether Stonecutters
or elsewhere?
The Health Officer-I can see no reason for
altering with great case and with every regard selected with
to the surroundings and prevailing winds.
The Colonial Secretary-It bi zanzonable to expect
during the N. E. monsoon the boats that will be anchored in the west of the Island, as a
been agreed
Captain Superintendent of Palice-Shift them fofa mile das west of Stonecutters.
The Chairman proposed that, as it would be well to look into the matter further before recommending « change, the Colonial Secretary be informed that the Board is investigating the matter and at present has no definite pro-
boats.
LUNSHADES AND AWNINGS.
Two
petitions having reference to the orders Issued by the Secretary of the Board for the removal of awnings or tunahades were read,
The Medical Officer of Health strongly recommended that he be given power to order the removal of such sanabades or awnings as is bly opinion constituted a nulsance eliber by excluding light and air, or were so delapidated as to be a nuisance.

SERIOUS OUTDREAK AT ICHANG.
BRITISH BLUEJACKETS SILENCE AN
ANGRY MOB,
ICHANG, December 23rd. A rather serious outbreak occurred here on Wednesday, the 18th, which luckily was nipped in the bad by the prompt actior of the Consul to signalling to the Erk for a landing party and in dealing with the native officials. Wednesday was to have been quite a gala day, as the men of the Esk were having sports on ground kindly lent by the Rev. H. community was out in force, as the day was fios, Collies, of the American Minion, The Iching Crowds of Chinese were everywhere and every thing seemed to be going alongnicely, when a sad occurrence happened. Accidentally wetyson In the Castoms was hit by a ballet from sa:als The fadles gua. Instantly all was commotion, were hurried home and the sports postponed,
We had hopes the people and event was used but lastend of doing so the sad event was as a pretext to give vent to the spita and lil-wili existent in the breast of the students, literary and military. Soon there was
A HOWLING MOB,
The Consul and others were stoned and followed off the grounds. The mob came all the way to the Consulate, smashed in the door leading to the Commissioner's house, entered his grounds and broke some windows, Stones were also thrown into the Consulate grounds, and the back door of the Rev. W. Deans' compound was nearly bowllage were heard and the mab seen the Indies was

In Congress, and this act of the President proposes to deal with more than half of the service by executive authority alone. In commending the reform, the New York Tribun (Rep.) says:-
"It is the humlitating truth that not a few of our consular representatives have to conducted themselves as to cause open scandal la foreign lands and to bring disgrace upon the flag thay were sent to protect and serve. -----------
"In
of cases they perhaps the majority of handicapped at first by lack of experience and special knowledge of their duties; and when, after a few years of hard work and study, they have fitted themselves to do the best possible service to their Government and to thele country- men, they are removed and sent to shift för themselves, and other novices are put into their places. A natural result is that, av a rule, really good men are reluctant to take such offces.
and
The permanence of the British foreiga service Is one of the principal causes of Great Britain's commercial pre
preeminence, we-doubt not that American commercial interests have suffered much because of the lack of that In our
quality consular force, Nor is that the only Ill result. This
changelulness of consular representation, as well as its offentlines infestor character, leads other powers to think mere lightly of this nation as a whole. However a nation's domestic Politics may vary. the promotion of fis forelgą
commercial interests should be continuous and Consistent, and to that end nothing would much more conduce the personal stabiilly in its wall”. of consular representatives abroad. ....
"What is now needed is to proceed to such further reforms as will make that service comparable in permanence and efficiency with the army and navy. It shou'd be made worth while for a young man to fil himself for it as he would for any honorable profession, and to enter it with the idea of devoting his life to It. By taking such men into its employment, and keeping them permanently there with ach promotions frem rank to rank as their achieve. ments and experience warrant, the nation would in time get a staff of foreign commercial representatives as far superior to the present, as an army of veteran regulars is to one of iaw volunteers."
It has been intimated that the order is merely device to protect the President's appolatees against removal by a Republican administra- tion. Upon this pilht the Chicago Times- Herald (Ind.) says:-
The public will not be concerned about the motives that lie behind the President's action in extending the cleli asrvice system to the con slabips. The thing that interests the public most is the fact that a very important branch of the public service has been raised above the peculations of cheapspoilsmen, who seek through the President to use the consular positions to reward party servitude... Under the new
order there is reason to believe that the consulae service will be elevated lo diguity, lone, and general efficiency.".
It amuses the average Briton Immensely to hear Americans talking about their Consular Service. The United States should have ano efficient a Consular Service as any other nation, but at present the system on which it is based is sadly at fault.
