The laiter probably went to sleep, or imbibed, 100 freely of their favourite beverage, and allowed the prisoners to get behind them. With the hatchets the prisoners were working with, an attack was made on the Sikhs, one of whom had his head cut open, the other decamped into the jungle and there commenced a fusillade against the jungle trees.

CANTON NOTES.
EXAMINATIONS.
(From Our Own Correspondent),
CANTON, August 24th. One striking feature in connection with the examinations which are being held this year is the extraordinary decrease in the nimmber of candidates. If we take the case of the Nam Hoi district, which includes a large part of Canton itself, we begin to realise that the change needs to be explained, for, instead of the usual Ove thousand Nan Hoi candidates for the B.A. degree there were only half that number present at the examination held abou a month since.
Literary men, themselves, suggest that the eause of this falling off is the unsenied state of China, and the probability of great political changes which will render the fossilized essay examination more obsolete than-intended even by the Emperor in 1898,
The papers sat were niso afropes of the times. One question was on the government
of a country; and another tested the breath of the candidates knowledge. It was this!-'Why is Great Britain the ricitest country in the
World'?'
In two days' time the preliminary M.A examination, termed, Wai Tsoi,' will be con- ducted, and lience there are crowds of graduates in the city, who have come from far
and near.
EDICTS.
The Edict issued by the Empress during the second week of January last to the effect that Chinese residents in foreign countries were always well treated and protected, and that officials must at all-hazards protect foreigners resident in China; was supposed to be placed in prominent places in permanent form. The latter and inconvenient part of the injunction, of course was not carried out.
But the Consuls have kept their eyes and cars open, and, as a result, copies of that edict have been pasted on boards made for the purpose,. and varnished, and last, lunday the authorities caused these boards to be suspended outside prominent places in the city. So far 1 learn, that there is one outside each of the four gates leading into the city, and also one outside each mission chapel.
This is a step in the right direction. The ordinary copies posted on the walks months ago vanished in a few days, notwithstanding the fact that figures of dragons-a sign of authority seldom used in this way--embellished the document.
TUE HOUSE-TAK.
The streets in the city and suburbs have been thoroughly canvassed, and the name of Each shopkeeper or householder; together with the annual rental, has been recorded in the deputy's book. But this preparatary step, I am afraid, baş, 10 a large extent, been a farce and may, therefore, lead to trouble as the edict decided that the new tax should only be levied on those paying a rental of $2 and upwards per mensem, Join Chinaman saw a loophole through which he could escape, and I have it on the authority of a business man' in the city, that many in his own street, whose rental ́exceeds the minimum several fold, reported to the officer that they paid less than two dollars a month. People are not forced to produce their rent-books, and so it is at a premium. "That nouseholders should have resorted to this subterfuge to avoid this extra burden imposed on the nation appears strange, when one remembers that it is the landlords, and not the tenants, who are to pay ultimately. The impost is to be collected from the occupier'simply for the sake of con- venience.

been caught. As the country mund Ambong has been for some time past in chronic rebellion, it is not likely these prisoners will be heard of, any more than those who killed the resident of Gantian about a year ago. The escaped pri soners are said to have been all desperate characters. Here the much overestimated Sikh is in evidence again.
We have no Eurapean plice officer in Labuan now. Sikhs in charge even of the gnol. When it is considered there is hardly a native in the place not, under monetary obligations in these creatures at usurious interest, as much as 10% per mensem, the un- desirability of such a state of affairs is obvious, The buoy marking the "Abona" shoal has been temporarily removed for repairs.
Hard on the utterances of Lord Roberts came the fine speech of Lord Milnes on the occasion of his receiving the Freedom of the representative of all that is best and meat hoteworthy in the national life, assembled at the Guildhall to do honour to the man, who, more than any other single individual, is responsible for our maintainance of Empire in S.

nation, and Lord Rosebery's speech in the city explanatory of the manifesto he issued in leiter form to the Nat. Lib. Club is still the central topic of discussion.
Among Liberals generally, there appears to be a growing feeling that, owing to the failure of the official heads of the party to openly and emphatically dissociate themselves from the discreditable utterances and actions of the Pro-Boer faction (which numbers less than one fourth of the Parliamentary opposition, exclud- ing Nationalists) the only possible remedy for the present deadlock is the recognition, under the leadership of Lord Rosebery, of that now party which already exists in fact.
The tenets laid down by the committee of the Imperial Council at their meeting, a night or two ago, may be said to endorse and cry stallise. the recent utterances of Lord R. and indicate that he is already far from ploughing a
"lone furrow."

On the day that Mrs. Kruger was buried in Pretoria, the commission of women scht by the Government to inspect the camps of the Boer women and children left England. The personelle of this commission is excellent, including as it does a lady, doctor, a hospital matron, a sick nurse and a sanitary inspector, but considerable indignation has been aroused that it should be thought necessary to send out such an inspecting committee to report upon the Boer camps, while the unfortunate families of Colonial loyalists, unprovided with food, clothing or medical attendance, are allowed to starve, uncared for, and unconsidered in the wretched refugee camps of which the latest accounts run "40 of the tarpaulin shelters (sic) were last night blown away in the storm, and the inmates-invalids, women, several recently confined, and children-lay out in the wind and pelting rain unprotected.
