HM.S." CENTURION",
HMS Centurion has been docked at Kowloon and we are pleased to say that the 'Naval Authorities find that she has not been sq. seriously damaged In her collision with the Glory as was at first supposed. The Naval Authorities are, however, very relicent as to the full extent of the vessel's injuries, and "snap: shottists who have been to the Dncks to record the damage by means of the camera have been politely but firmly turned away. In fact the Naval Authorities seem to look upon photo. graphing the vessel as being somewhat in the nature of photographing a fort.

GENERAL FOST OFFICE.
The following is the Report of Mr. E. Core wall Lewis, Action Postmaster,General, for the year 1907, as published in the Gazette :--
DAPÁNTMENTAL CHANGES.
The Postmaster General obtained twelve months leave of absence and left for England on the 6th March. The Assistant Postmaster General was appointed to act during his ab- Sence, and the duties of the Assistant Post master General were divided between the Ac- coffintant and the Superintendent of the Money Order Office. "On the 1st lanuary, the six Armenian Glerks, referred to in last year's Report as having been engaged, entered upon their duties. I regret to say, however, that after two or three months experience of Post Office work, to which they were quite, new, they all more or le49 become dissatisfied not only with the hard work and long hours, but also with the salaries which they received, and which they considered were inadequate, owing to the fiet that they were stringers to Hongkong..

After a short interval Mr. Kissick, R.N., opened the second part with a "Stomp Oration" which caused much musenient, as did also Mr. Allen's recitation "My first od lasi appearance" which was rendered with good histrionic effect, The other items on the programine were "The Holy City by Mr. Warder, "Th for tat, hyment.

(From Our Own Correspondente SCHOOLS FOR CANTON.
CANTON, April 30th, It is reported among Chinese here that a company has been formed, with bead quarters at Hongkong, fer the opening of schools for Chinese. It is said that Fung Wa Chun, a man well-known in. Hongkong, is at the head of this company and has subscribed 810,000 towards its expenses. Already 560,000 have been subscribed. This company wishes to open schouls in Canton and Hongkong in which trained techers shall be employed to teach Western studies according to Western methods. The Cantonese seem to be much interested in this scheme and there will be no trouble in securing all the money that will be required. As I have already written, the Viceroy is interested in securing a better Bystem of education for Carton and he is likely to encourage this company in its endeavour to open schools. The difficulty will be in secur- ing the teachers. It is high time a school was opened for the sole purpose of training teachers.
A PUNERAL WITH A HISTORY. A man by the name of Chan was buried at Fat Shan the other day, about whose death there is some mystery. The man had been high in official life. He had been connected. with the Chinese legations in Washington and in London. Some time ago, at the instigation of Prince Tuan, he was ordered to be beheaded. Official notice was published that the sentence had been carried out. However, after. this notice was published the man appeared at his home in Fat Shan and shortly after his death was announced. It is supposed that the man was allowed to return home on condition that he would commit suicide.
GERMAN, CONCESSION.
It is reported that the Germans have chosen for their concession a piece of land on Fa Ti between Dr. Ken's Insane Asylum and the German Mission. The preliminary steps have all been arranged for taking possession of the land, and it is expected that ere long the whole transaction will be completed.

to credit of the Hongkong Post Office on the year's transactions, as will be seen, amounted
to the large sum of $90,340.25.
MONEY ORDERS:
In Table (G) will be found the Summary of the Money Order business dang during the year, compared with that of the previous year. The detailed statement usually forwarded, owing to the Money Order Department, with the small staff, being barely able to keep pace with the greatly increased daily work, could not be completed in time to be attached bereto. The total amount of Orders issued and paid in Hongkong and Shanghai was $1,102,140.62, which was an increase on that of the previous year of $468.743.90. The increase in the number of Indian Regiments stationed at Hongkong will account for the larger number and amount of Indian Orders drawn in 1900. The sales of Imperial and Local Postal Notes similarly exceeded the sales of 1899 The total of the former amounting to 6,149 275. 28. and the latter to $6.401.50. The increased sale of Imperial Postal Notes was largely due to such being applied for to a greater extent by the Naval men on this Siation, particularly as their number had of late been so much added to by the additional Ships sent out to augment the China Fleet.
GENERAL..

Owing to the troubles in North China, and the consequent despatch there of British Troops, including a large number of Indian Regiments, it can well be understood that the work of this Department was considerably added to,
The Indian Postal Administration, however, sent out along with the Troops a fully manned and equipped Field Post Office Establishment. After consultation with me, the Chief Super- intendent, with my consent, arranged to open a Base Post Office in Hongkong, and to this Office everything received here for the China Field Force was to be sent at once to be dealt with. That Office having more complete knowledge of the location from time to time of the different sections composing the Force, it was also setded that it should make up into Closed. Malia addressed to the different, Field Post Offices, sach mail matter so received, and hand these bags to the Hongkong Post Office to be forwarded to destination by the shortest route passible.

time. It appears very much as if this Conven- THE ABOLITION OF THE SHANG- tion will be hung up indefinitely. One of the Articles of the Convention would have dont the Chinese Imperial Post Office an advantage away with an anomaly, which certainly allowed over the British Postal Agencies in China. It was this: The longkong rate on letters is for all places in China (exclusive of Canton and Macao) 5 cents for each halfounce, where as the Chinese rate is a cents for each quarter of an ounce or 4 cents per half ounce. I cer- tainly think that this anomaly should cease without delay.

figure. But the proclamation of the Mixed Court Magistrate leaves no doubt that the abolition of lotteries is due to the combined Action of the Consuls of all nations and not merely to the Municipal Council. The Consula in their despatch say that lotteries are an in- mixed, evil and therefore lotteries of all kinds, native and foreign, must be forever discon tinued in the Settlements. The plan of lotteries originated from Manila, whose Government used this plan to aid the resources of the kingdom of Spain. Some may say that the cessation of lotteries will affect Shanghai financially for evil and the Council will suddenly lose a vast revenue from the licenses. Why then do they forbid lotteries? The an; swer is that foreigners know that lotteries and gambling are skin, and therefore are not res pectable. On-investigation il is seen that they ard wholly injurious to the interests of the
