́EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE IN BENGAL. A statement was made in the Bengal Council during the Budget Debate that the damages arising from the earthquake of 1897 had cost in buildings alone eleven inkhs of rupees. No fewer than 400 or 500 buildings, chiefly in Rajshahye, had been repaired.

THE BUSY HUM OF THE LOOM. BRIGHTER OUTLOOK FOR OUR
COTTON INDUSTRY.
The Board of Trade figures for the past three months, deserve more detailed attention in regard to their least satisfactory feature. They tell us what the country is doing in the way of shipping cotton piece goods.
Though there was a falling off in March, the total yardage for the first quarter of 1899 was pretty much the same as in the corresponding. period of last year, viz.,

There are one or two striking items of countries inking less this year to rather marked extent, viz, Japan, Turkey, and Brazil. Japan is a puzzle in more says than one, and Manchester at the present time is getting anxious at buyers of yarn and cloth at Yokohama keeping out of the market so long, Weaving in Lancashire just now is brisk, and the margin between yarn and the manufactured cloth is wider than for some time
back.
There is no surprise, then, that the operatives are demanding a rise in wages. That they will got what they ask, viz., 10 per cent., is not at all likely, but some who profess to know how things will go say the work people may get 6d. in the £, or 24 per cent. As a matter of fact, there are more looms now at work in the County Palatine than ever known."
Our aggregate exports of cotton yarn continue no wonder, when we send so much poor, and cotton machinery abroard. The figures for the past nine months show that we are shipping on an average three millions of pounds weight less than the same months of the previous year. This is sure to affect the spinners as a whole sooner or later, Still, the South Lancashire spinners of cops for the home trade keep busy, and no stocks can be met with Oldham way The stock-takings of the cotton limiteds just declared for the past three months are not dis couraging by any means. Several new factories are going up. It is feared that in view of the slack export demand prepucers of cops will soon find a diminishing margin. The wages

PROGRESSIVE CALCUTTA. Calcutta is not entirely the Sleepy Hollow we are not to think it is in Bombay. In fact in ont direction it has roused itself and sought to move with the times, whilst we are content to lng and have the finger of reproach pointed at us with unconcern. At last Calcutta is in posses sion of a company prepared to supply electricity for lighting purposes under the style of the Elec- tric Supply Corporation, Limited. Although it is far from desirable that private companies should be allowed a monopoly of so serious a matter tter of public concern as the supply of light by the best and most modern methods, yet of two evils, that, or doing without, it is certainly the best. The Municipality apparently were not prepared to deal with the matter and they have leased out the sight to a syndicate. The machinery is now complete and its starting, says a Calcutta contemporary, marks an epoch in the advance of civilization in India, for it is only the second city in the country, the first being Darjiling, which is in possession of the necessary plant. The new installation is capable of supplying electricity for 60,000 lamps and the mains in the streets cover a a frontage of twenty-seven utiles. An interest ing and creditable fact to the new company is that the cost of the electric supply in Calcutta will be the same as is in the City of London,
THE BUDDHIST RELICS.
AN APEAL TO THE SIAMESE KING,
A meeting was held recently at the Oriental College Hall, Maligakanda, Colombo, to consi der what steps should be taken to make an appeal to His Majesty the King of Sium to ob tain a portion, of the relics recently
found in upper India. It will be remembered that about a year ayo some important archæological discoveries were made to upper India and amongst them Dr. Buller found 5 vessels in which were enshrined some valuable relics of Buddha, All these have been given to His Majesty the King of Siam, who has decided to offer a portion to the Burmese Buddhists and a portion to the Ceylon Buddhists His Majesty has decided upon offering it to a representative body and not to a particular a sect. The venerable H. Sumangala, High Priest, presided over the meeting and Mr. Siman Fernando and Mr. W. A. D. Silva were elected Secretaries pro tem. It was decided to convene a representative meeting of the Ceylon Buddhist Public at an early date, and for that purpose preliminary arrangements were made with the appointment of a committee.
UNCHECKED VIOLENCE AND LAW
LESSNESS IN KALUBOWILA. It has been often remarked that the native villager is enjoying peace and happiness under the benign protection of the British Govern ment, and that his condition is much better now than what it used to be. But the state of affairs in the village of Kalubowila of Salpiti Korle presents an adverse aspect. Cattle-lifting has been carried on with impunity, while theft of prædial products is of daily occurrence.
In almost every household possessing cattle, about three or four animals have been missing, and is same the animals have returned often with altered brand marks. At the time of harvest the poor villager is deprived of his garden pro-

At the Calcutta Police Court, before the Hon. Nawah Bahadur Syed Ameer Hossein, Mr. Manuel, on behalf of a Marwari lady, named Gunga Dabi, applied for summonses against Ram Dabi, another Marwari Indy, Babu Ashutosh Dhur, a well known attomey of the High Court. Babu Radha Prosad Dhut, a brother of the second defendant, and seven others, for criminally trespassing into the house of the complainant at 16, Raj Mohun Hose's Lane and wrongfully confining her. The facts of the case are as follows:-The first Accused was the wife of the complainant's brother, Sham Shunder (deceased), but during his life time she eloped with, a Mahomedan, who, together with tiva. Burmese, wer con- victed and sentenced at the Alipore Sessions to six months' rigorous imprisonment each, för kidnapping Ram Dabi. Consequently, when her husband died, a short time ago, as she was no onicast it was contended by the prosecution that she had no right to any of his property. In spite of this it is alleged that, aided by the other accused named above, she trespassed into the complainant's house, and wrongfully confined her, with a view to taking forcible possession of the belongings af her late husband. Mr. Manuel stated that prior to this, an application had been made by the complainant to Mr. T.subject to rent. A. Pearson, who however, referred her to the police 10 make her complaint to them; but for some reason unknown to them, the police re port was unfavourable to the complainant, and they infonned his worship that she would not come to the Thannah to make a report. All that Mr. Manuel would say in regard to this, was that she was apprehensive lest if the left her house, she would not be allowed to re- enter. It was also a matter of regret and sur prise to him that so old and experienced an attorney as Babu Ashutosh Dhur should be mixed up in a case of such-high-handed pro- ceadings.

The toil area under tea last year in Bengal amounted to 128,067 acres," an increase of 22,360 acres. Of this 103,204 acres were under mature and 25,863 under immature plants. The total number of pounds of leaf manufactured was about two million pounds more than that of the year preceding.

OLD SUGAR FATORY IN BURMA. The Moulmein paper gives an interesting account of the first sugar factory set up in Burns 50 years ago by Messrs O'Riley & Bell. To protect it, the Government of Lord Auckland prohibited sugar imports into Maul mein, and export to Great Britain was allowed on the most favourable terms. In 1843-44 the factory produced 175 tons which was increased in 1846 to 300 tons. Under Lord Ellenborough's rule the restriction on imports of sugar was removed, and the factoy had to close. The machinery was sold at a considerable therifice, and removed to Calcutta. 7 would be interesting to know what became of it Sometime in the sixties, a French gentleman of the name of Courteaux started a sugar mill at Marahan, appailte Moulmein, but this also had to close after working for a couple of years. The high cost of labour in Burma as compared with India, no doubt, had something to do with the failure of both these sugar mille..
