CANTON NOTES. (From the Trus Wan Yat Po.]
CRUSADE AGAINst dirt. In expectation of the arrival of H.E. Li Hung-chang the mandarins in Canton have received instructions to clean up and decorate the Viceroy's Yamen, as the late Viceroy Tan had pretty effectively ploughed up and abs- tracted all the riches from the land of Kwang Tung by squeezes, he had allowed the super- fluous earth to accumulate in the Yamen. It get the dirt carried cost the mandarius $50 away. (A nice little sum for our readers to work out, cunlic hire, say 15 cents per day, carrying the average load. Find what was the amount of accumulated dirt?) and about another $1,000 for decorations. The place will look quite smart on Li's arrival.
AN IMPUDENT RASCAL.
A few days ago, a young man, went to a Chinese dispensary, at Fat Shan in a four coclie chair, with two followers. He told the master of the shop that he had been informed that his shop was noted for "As you wish oil and as he wanted a large quan- and ointment tity he had come to purchase it there. After a few minutes conversation, he expressed a wish to have a pipe of opium, and was accordingly taken by the master of the shop into an inner compariment, and both had a smoke. Presently the youth whipped out a revolver and demand. ed the loan of $500. The poor master turned pale and ordered the sum to be given to him. This money was then passed over to one of the followers while the scoundrel took the master along with him in the chair, the servants being afraid to shout for assistance as the robber threatened to shoot if they did so. The master however, was only faken a short distance be fore he was allowed to return to the shop.

BIR HENRY BLAKE'S REPORT.
In
The report by Sir H. A. Blake to the Colonial Office on Hongkong for the year 1898, has just been issued as a Parliamentary paper. It is a somewhat belated document, valuable enough, no doubi, as a record, but ant af much interest to quote from at this time of day when another year has all but been completed. Sir Henry states that the commercial condition of the Colony was never inore statisfactory. The value of property a steadily increasing,
of the companies mentioned and the weekly share lists more than 80 per cent. of the shares are quoted above par. Openings for the investment of capital, if we except trade hitherto been rather perhaps investments, have restricted, but in view of the development of the Kowloon Extension, there will probably be openings for capital in the future. The social condition of the colony, he notes, is fairly satisfactory. There is one other point, and that is the increase of piracy on the West River, which the Governor says is a serious hindrance to the advancement of our trade, and the time is coming, he adds, "when this question must be taken up if our trade is not to be strangled. It is at present one of the most important factors in the future condition of the trade of this Colony with the West the evil has no: lessened, but judging from re- River." Since Sir Henry wrote these words cent advices from Hong Kong, the Foreign Office has somewhat recognised the necessities of the case, and measures have been taken which, it is to be hoped, will prove effective.-- L&C.

PRINCE HENRY,
A TRIP TO CHANGE T
Singapore, 8th January, On Saturday afternoon Prince. Henry of Prussia again indulged in polo. He is not yet accustomed to the ponies here, but he played a very good game. The beauty and fashion of Singapore were present, making an additional attraction to the gay scene. Yesterday the Prince and some friends made a cycling visit to Changi. Government House was left about 6 o'clock, His Royal Highness being accom- panied by Mr. Eschke (German Consul), Dr. Dittmar, the Commander and Officers of the German Fraiser Hunt, Messrs. Puitfarcker, Kesler, Lanz, Winkelmann, Janassen, Herings Winzer, Larsen, Kindlimann, and Riege. A very good run was made, Changi being reached About Bo'clock, and just before 11 o'clock the Sumatra with many of the members of the German Club arrived. Amongst those on board were Mrs, Puttfarken, Mr. and Mrs, Sohst, Mrs. Kersting. Mr. and Mrs. Metz Mr. and Mrs. Withoeft, Mr. and Mrs. Hube, Mr. Becker, und Mr. Schmidt. The whole party sat down luncheon on board the Simeira at 12 o'clock, and just about this time main commenced to fall very heavily, but nevertheless a very enjoyable time was spent. The whole party, returning to Singapore by the Sumatra, arrived here about So clock.
To-morrow also it is probable that the Prince will spend an hour or two at polo-Straits

INTERNATIONAL AMENITIES' AT
SOUTHAMPTON.
The following from the home papers of Dec. 5th telis of an interesting incident which took place when The N.L. ss. Sachsen left Southampton "The hired transport Pinemore left Southampton this afternoon with the second section of the com- posite regiments of Household Cavalry under the command of Col. Calley, 1st Life Guards, a draft of the 5th Dragoon Guards and a detach- ment of the ammunition column, in all 17 officers, and 395 horses, for the Cape. A con- siderable number of people. witnessed the departure of the vessel, Great enthusiasm was displayed earlier in the day.
The North German Lloyd liner Sachsen, moored astern of the Pinemore, paid a great compliment to the troops on their arrival, great Ing them with Rule Britannia, played by the ship's band, spectators and soldiers cheering in response. Later on there was a further ex- change of international courtesies. The Gar- man vessel an leaving struck up the British National Anthem, and dipped her ensign, troops and civilians demonstrating their ap. preciation by heartily cheering their German brethren."
