NOTES AND COMMENTS.
MORE EVASION! The reply given by the Government to Mr. WHITEHEAD, in answer to his question as to the causes of the fallure of the Government to obtain bids for the Taiping- shan lots, is, of course, un evasion, not to use any harsher word. The Government has certainly not so far falled in its duty
to the public as not to have called for and
obtained reports on the subject from those. in a position to afford full and accurate Information. Mr. Chatex, a member of the Executive Council, and the guiding spirit of the Land Investment Company, has not left the authorities in the dark we may be sure. In making, and the Governor, in sanction- Perhaps the Colonial Secretary,
ing, the reply that was given to Mr. WHITEHEAD's question, were sheltering themselves under the strict legal signi |fication of the verb "to know." We
can quite belleve, that they don't, either of them, know much, but they surely have been "Informed" and they "belleva" that the absurd terms and conditions on which the property was put up for sale were undoubtedly among the reasons why there was no bid for one single lot, and they know equally well and on equally good authority that unless these terms and conditions are very considerably varied and altered, they will never get a bid for the lots in question. We hope the hon. Member will at the next meeting of Council move a resolution on the subject_ and compel the Government to make the explanation they are evidently so unwilling to afford..

(Special to Hongkong Telegraph.) GREAT EXCITEMEN AT TIENTSIN.
OFFICIALS CUT OFF THE MEAT SUPPLY OF THE FOREIGNERS,
TIENTSIN, August 27th. The High. Officials of this district have. Juddenly forbidden the slaughter of cattle and have thus, in great measure, cut off the meat supply of the residents.
It is impossible to procure beef at any price.
The action of the officials constitutes a violation of treaty rights.
The proclamations issued by the officials have been posted in the native city and suburbs.

The foreign Consuls have protested against the prohibition and reported to their respective Ministers in Peking.
There is great excitement here among the natives,
About two months ago great excitement was created among the ignorant and superstitions Datives of Tientala owing to reports being circulated that foreigners were buying children for the purpose of using portions of their bodies to mike medicine.
