As far as I can lean this is leased to the Hongkong Cricket Club and used at intervals for lawf tennis; what a boon it would be if resumed by the Government and a band stand erected in the centre and thrown open to the public.
No doubt the few young gentlemen who have the monopoly at present will rise up in their wrath at such a desecration. But the con- venience of the few indst give way to the absolute wants of the many.. I have never, in all my travels, come across a city of the importance of yours, with the same absence of any rational amusement; can you wonder at the frequent scenes of drunkenness and disoluteness witnessed nightly in your Aman employed on one of your war- ships, hard worked and ill fed, with as much, liberty as a dog at the end of a chain, is sudden ly let louse in Hongkong. There isonly one po sible thing they can do. Get drunk as quickly as possible, and naturally follow the enormities practiced with the help of a Chinese woman and a dollar. Now, Sir, for the remedy.

With the object of preventing an outbreak of plague in Japanese ports, or its introduction CANTON, June 7th.. A number of deaths occur daily from plague, from Hongkong or Formosd, the Kobe Chronicle but from different parts of the city the disease says the authorities in Kobe have commenced an examination. of all the rats captured and is reported to be on the decrease. In the brought to the local police station or 10 the cities of Tung Ran and Shek Lung on the City Office. Previously such examination was. East River, Plague has been very bad. Inenly made in the case of rats found dead, but Shek Lang the Chinese estimate the number now the examination is made in every case of deaths at 2,000,
where rats are caught, alive or dead. With this object Dr. Murata, formerly, an assistant in The health of Viceroy Tạo Mu gives con- Dr. Kitasato's laboratory in Tokyo, has been siderable cause for anxiety. It is reported that engaged, and the examination is conducted he has asked to be relieved from duly for a under his superintendence. The number of month in order to regain his strength.

The laboratory from the police stations between the Cantonese are not anxious to have the Viceroy 9th and 27th May being. 48,022. retire. He has given very general satisfaction daring his short official life in Canton. He has given the reformers to understand that he is in sympathy with their views. Minor re- farins have been attenipted and the people have been led to expect greater things. His latest strections to the Consuls for the protection shows a desire on the part of the Viceroy to pratect the foreigner, but will not meet with very general favour. He says, "I have instruct. ed the commander of militia to prepare wooden ships for the use of Captain Yang, of the lega. tion guard. Whenever any foreigner travels by Chinese bat from any place within tool of Canton liis name should be given to Captain Ving, who will enter his name on the wooden ship and send an escort with the traveller as far as the first Chinese cruiser. The commande's of the cruiser will then receive the slip and the traveller and pass bath on with, an escort to the next guard bent. In this way the foreigner is to be sent on his way rejoicing. These travellers are also requested to fly their national flags in order that the guard boats along the way may know of the presence of the foreigners and render them protection. The Viceroy may, be very sincere in his desire to protect, but 37

"(From a Corrispondenti)
PARNOI, June 4th. The monotony of this port was disturbed the o her day by what might have resulted in a great rint in Linchow, a town some fifteen miles distant by land, and to the north of this port
It happened that the Gennan missionaries, who settled here scarcely two years ago, bought a house in Limehow recently for the purpose of the mission,
The natives there, who were always against European institutions of all kinds, did not ap- preciate the presence of missionaries in the present instance and they, on the morning of Friday, the 24th May, about 9 o'clock, collected a crowd of rowdies and started to demolish the house in question without any reason what- ever. The Prefect and the Sub prefect, as snom as they were informed of this, proceeded ́in, persun to the scene of the disturbance to stop The people from carrying on the work of dis truction, but the officials arrived too late for that, as by that time the mission property was completely destroyed and they only succeeded in dispersing the crowd of miscreants without making a single arrest. The shopkeepers and traders, fearing that the affair would take big ger dimensions, shut up their shops and busi- ness was consequently paralysed for part of that day.
The German missionaries, who were all in Pakhoi at the time of the disturbance, were only informed of the matter in the afternoon by some of the Native Christians, and shortly after by an emissary from the Prefect of Lim chow, by whom, I was told, an apology was tendered, and an offer made to pay for the cost of the destroyed property,

The rats are usually brought alive to the various police stations in cages, but the fact of their being living or dead when purchased is noted. They are then killed and a wooden tag attached to the neck, giving the name of the person bringing the rat, the house where it was caught and other particulars of identification.

it will thus be seen that the precautions taken to discover the slightest indication of an outbreak of plague are very elaborate and complete. As the pest is a disease to which rats are especially subject, and rapidly spreads among them from their habit of devouring the bodies of the dead among their number, it is by the examination of these animals that it can most easily, bé discovered, whether there are any traces of the plague bacillus, and the origin of the disease at once be localised and precautions Jaken: The destruction of rats is also a measure of safety, as removing one of the chief agencies in spreading the disease. No pest bacillus has been discovered in Kobe this year, and there have been no plague cases. Twenty-three cases were reported in November and December 1899, and three in 1900, but this year has so far been entirely free, and pre. cautions taken by the authorities appear so complete that it may reasonably be hoped the disease will not show itself, or that if an Isolated case should occur it will be at once dis- covered and infection prevented. No less than twenty-eight doctors are engaged by the aut
During the past week a small book has been distributed in Canton. It purports to be a statement of the doctrines of Christianity, but is in fact a vile anal blasphemous caricature of Christianity. This book can hardly be called new, as much of it was published about six years ago and distributed about Canton. How- ever, the book is changed in some respects and made viler if that is possible The writer of the book is a man by the name of tu, a military graduate of the 3rd degree and he gives the, District of Heung Shan the honour of his residence. The book has an introduction by a Mr. Tse, a military graduate of the 2nd degree, who lives in San U. The names of the men who have borne the expense of printing the book are also given. With so many names given it should not be difficult to get hold of of some of the guilty parties. This, I under-horities in these methods of precaution. The stand, some of the Consuls intend doing.
IMPORT OF INDIAN SALT A

PER PICUL,
·SHANGHAI, June 4th.
A Chinking despatch states that it was "currently reported among the salt monopolists there that Viceroy Liu Ken Yi had con- sented to the import of salt from India into Yangtse parts and that the price (as per an agreement entered into between Viceroy Lin and the foreign merchants) had been setiled at 3800 copper cash per picu!. It is thought that the salt monopolists will be made away with or their profit greatly decreased.-New

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
OF PEKING.
The W. C. News of the 6th ist, says dat die local Government of Peking, which was recently banded over by the Allies to the Chinese authorities, on probation, io sce whether the latter will be able to keep order without outside help, is now conducted on the following lines:-The policing of the Tanar City is in charge of the Commandant of the Peking Gendarmerie and his officers, who, together with the rank and file, are all Manchus. On the other hand the various sections, or "catles," priside the Tartar city walls, are under the control of the Police Censors of the Five. "Cities assisted by local gentry and petty police magistrates. Instead of the use. less Green-turban troops (Chinese natives of Peking) who used to act as patrols and police in the Fire Cities the Plenipotentiaries have now substituted foreign-modelled troops from the remnants of the Peiyang Army.

SHANGHAI, June zili.
A HEATHEN ENDEAVOUR SOCIETY. The Universal Gazette states that near Chink kiang boys of 16 or 17 have formed a society. Last year they chose the retirement of two hills for the rightly practice of boxing, archery and knife-exercise. Very few saw them drill- ing, and if they did regarded them as boys out for a lark. Lately the son of Mao Tsai, who was a member, was beaten severely in the street by some of the other members. The father then elicited the truth from his son who confessed that there was a membership of seven or eight hundred, led by the son of a fond seller. A membership fee of one cash Somehow or other the German Consul at
was paid for the use of the "Genert." The Canton got information of the disturbance: father on hearing this was greatly alarmed, and the result was the arrival of the German cruiser was going to inform the officials, but was Jaguar in Pakhoi.early on the moming of exhorted not to Icke so extreme a step. Finally Sunday, June 2nd. The presence of the man-of- the local constables exhorted the parents and war seems to have had some little effect on the elder brothers of the youths to exercise a more mind of the natives, more so when the Jaguar stringent supervision over them, lest they should set her search light to play over the town on Sunday night. Shortly after the arrival of the get into trouble.
Jaguar her Commander landed, and together with one of the missionaries, proceeded to the Yamen of the local mandarin, when a con- ference of short duration took place: probably as the result of this, the Prefect as well as the Sub-prefect of Limchow were sent for to come out to Pakhoi to discuss the matter. In fact, about 5 p.m. yesterday (Monday, June 3rd) the two Chinese officials arrived here as expected. About noon to-day (Thursday), a party of about go German Marines, attended by their 1officers, landed the Customs jetty and marched through the town to the local Yamen,
where a conference was to be held.
To make the matter livelier, the French man-of-war Kersaint arrived in the harbour about 9am. to-day.
I hear that a British war vessel is also coin, ing, but up to the time of writing she has not jey put in an appearance.

PERING, 5th June, 1.20 p.m. Last night a fire broke out during a very severe thunderstorm, probably caused by light ning, in that part of the Forbidden City which is guarded by the Japanese and Americans, Despite a very, heavy rainfall the fire spread. widely, destroying the numerous buildings of one of the Courts, including the Wa-Ying Hall which contained the imper al archives and the library. The large centre halls, the Temple of the Imperial Ancestors, and the private rooms of the Emperor are intact. As far as is known, no loss of life has occurred, Strict onders to keep away the public were issued,' which seemed entirely justified in view of the fact that a numerous international mob was approaching the ruins with carts in order to loot.-Shanghat, Mercury
