Chinese artisap labour, and adds that during' the last year "several lots were imported from Penang and Singapore by influential and reliable contractors, who worked for short periods and left in debt to their employers.” THERE are pleasing signs of a coming- rennaissance of industrial art in India, and shrewd business men are convinced that if properly pushed, the handicraft of Indian work. men will find a ready sale in the European markets. We'(Indian Engineering) have long entertained a similar opinion and are looking forward to some practical measure which will place the manufacture`` and sale of Indian specialities on a sound financial basis.

SPEAKING of Prince Chun, Sport & Gossip says-One cannot help admiring the Prince for having countermanded the order given by Li Kun-yi for the Imperial yellow satin chair and umbrella to be prepared for him, remarking at the same time that "his present mission was not one requiring pocip or magnificence." In this matter he has shown common sense and discretion that has been absent in some articles I have read upon the subject of his arrival.
Mog. Chapelle, Arclibishop of New Orleans, and Apostolic Delegate for Cuba and the Phi- lippines, is at Rome. His deep knowledge of religious matters and of the American law, coupled with the possession of both English and Spanish languages, and his frequent stays at Cuba and in the Pinilippines, render him most fit to accomplish the inission he is en- trusted with, which is to conciliate the interests of the different religious orders with American

apparently unable to cope with these bad characters, despite the number of heads that have fallen of late. Now comes news of an anti-foreign placard posted in Canton (as will be seen by reference to another column) and a placard, too, which is evidently a Boxer manifesto, or directly inspired by them. The pretext, given for this denunciation of foreig. ners is that the house tax which has lately been inposed in Canton is occasioned by the necessaity of paying an indemnity to the foreigners, and it hints that until such time as these same foreigners and Christians are bundled out neck and crop, such demands will be made, for they, the foreigners, are. insatiable.
We do not know whether there is much io be feared, from a placard of this sort. It may be the work of some idle vagabond, or, on the other hand, it may be the first sign of the population of 'Southern China being stirred up to deeds of bloodshed such as occurred in the north last year. The floods on the rivers in the vicinity may have some
placards always crop up whenever any thing to do with it, for these anti-foreign
disaster falls upon the people.
One thing, however, the placard shows plainly, and that is how very small is the impression which the expedition of the Allied Powers has made on the people. The document states that the Middle Kingdom has never been defeated; and goes on to say that if funds are forthcoming, the Boxers are ready to oust the foreigners and have already an excellent plan for doing so.

Then his voice dropped a little, and he added, "Of course, you know, men, if a sheep attacks you, should you, in self- defence.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN,
Late last night Hongkong was all ugog on account of H. M. Ships Eclipse, Daphne and Pigmy having sukienly received orders, to leave. The two smaller craft got under way at about nine o'clock and the Eclipse left some- what later, but what, or where for nobody knows,
Last night and this morning it was freely rumoured that the flagship, H.M.S. Glory, with Admiral Sir,Cyprian Bridge on board, had come to grief by going ashore somewhere up. the const,, but we are pleased to say' that Commodore Powell, when approached on the subject, denied that this was the case, saying that no news had been received of or from the
Glory and that she was expected some time.
to-day.
.. The Commodore, however, "would throw, no
light upon the destination of the vessels which left last night. All we know is that they have sailed under sealed orders.)
The town is naturally full to overtlowing with ruugurs, but nobody secins to have any very good idea of what is happening or is about to happen. Some say, and there seems to be a good deal of probability in the report, that particular despatches regarding the state of affairs in Shansi were received last night by the Commodore and that they were af so important á nature as to necessitate their being sent to meet the Admiral. Hence the sudden de-
parture of the three vessels, each of which is said to carry a copy of the despatches.
Another rumour says "trouble at Foochow," another watching the French in Amoy", but as we have received no special wires from these places they may, we think, be dismissed. A day or two should show the true state of affairs.
THE SANITARY BOARD
BYE-LAWS.
It is one "thing to make Bye-laws and another thing to put them in force. The Sanitary Board are particularly fortunate in having all officer so painstaking and careful as Inspector Hoggarth. But the cases (and their name is legion) he brings before Mr. Hazeland are, (in many people's opinion) treated far too feniently. A woman, take for instance, is warned that her cubicles are contrary to law, time is given her to alter them and she, in real eastern fashion, promptly takes no notice. A notice is served on her, the meaning of which is thorough- ly explained, she still keeps up a position of masterful inactivity and at last gravitates to the Police Court. The above mentioned pro- ceedings; owing to the overwork of Inspector. Hoggarth, sometimes take a month; and then His Worship from his kindly heart asks "Issho a puur woman?" the answer is generally "Yes!". Then the court says through the interpreter, that another week should be allowed and the defendant warned that she must not take so
long to do nothing. A few good fines would time and a number of warnings have already alter matters, as in nine cases out of ten ample

LAUNCH AT KOWLOON DOCKS.

An interesting ceremony took place at the Kowloon Docks this morning, when the Mellong, the first of two steel twin screw steain lighters building to the order of the Norddeutscher Lloyd for river service Uangkok, was successfully launched in, the presence of a large gathering, which included Mr. Haupt, Capt. Meissel ind Mr. O. Michael, the representatives of the owner; Mrs. Meissel, and Capt. Innes (Superintendents for Messts, Mrs. Michael, Mr. Fernald;. Mr. W. Runsay Butterfield & Swire); Mr. Ferald (Chief Constructor, U.S.N.) Mr. R. Cooke (Acting Chief Manager of the Dock Co.); Mr. Wilson, (Manager of the Kowloon Docks), &c.
The christening ceremony was gracefully performed by Miss Meissel and the vessel glided into the
water amid the cheers of the spectators. The party then adjourn-
ed to the office, where cake, and wine were partaken of Mr. Cooke toasted success to the vessel and the Norddeutscher Lloyd, which was responded to by Mr. Haupt, who referred to the excellent work turned out by the Dock Co. and wished them every success. The health of Miss Meissel was then proposed by Mr. worded speech. Cooke and Mrs: Meissel replied in a happily
"A RUSSIAN submarine bout, designed by the engineer Sakovenko, which will, it is said, be able to cross the Atlantic from England to America in two and a half days, is being built, with the utmost secrecy, in a French port. The secret of the extraordinary speed of this boat lies in its peculiarly constructed screw. The boat itself is in the shape of a double pointed cigar. It is expected that she will be reaïly in August next?" From time to time we have accounts in the papers of these wonderful submarine boats, air-ships, etc., but what event wally happens to them?
