(From Our Own Correspondent).
CANTON, September 2nd. The British Consul General, Mr. Scott, has got to the end of his term. He expects to leave Canton to-morrow, when his successor is expected to arrive and take over the duties of the Consulate. The new ransel is also named Scott, and it is to be hoped that he will look after the interests of Britishers with a strong hand. There never was a time when a strong man was more needed then at present. The French an German consuls are pushing the EVERAL MODERN BOOKS on En-interests of their countries for all they are

THE HOUSE TAX. As the time draws pear for the payment of the house tax people are growing more restless in Canton there is not likely to be much trouble. The officials have the city we'l in hand and will not allow any disturbance. In the country, however, it is different News has arrived from San Ui city that the people are determined to resist any attempt to collect the tax. The people say thatthey have already paid their share of the indemnity and will not pay it a second time. Moreover, the people declare

By Mr. Nussey He did not know that the British merchant was hurt by this payment. He got his goods into Japan more quickly than he could by British ships.
In answer to further questions by various members of the Committee, he stated that nearly all members of the richer community in lapan travelled by German steamers; they would not travel by the P. and D. They could, if they liked, travel in the intermediate steamers, but these elled at every part in China, and the voyage took two months, whereas by the North-German Lloyd steamers they could do it in 37 days with transhipment in the best class of steamer, so that people haring to pay as high or higher on the P. and O. would not travel by that line. As regards cargo the merchant would naturally go to the "apanese: company which took his goods straight from London to Japan without tran- shipment and in better steamers.
On 18th inst. Mr. Elijah Helm, Secretary of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, gave evidence, and after showing the disparity in freights from Genoa and Liverpool to Buenos Ayres, which came to 23 per cent on the value of the goods and sufficient to turn the scale, the Chairman asked: Have you any other

SANITARY BOARD,
The proposed Sanitary Board is not meeting with much encouragement. The proposed. Board is a company without legal authority. The officials approve of the formation of such a company but have not given the company, any authority to collect money. The people, while anxious to have clean streets, that is the better class of merchants, yet have little confidence that the money-collected will be wisely ex- peaded. The "Sanitary Board proposes to advance the money and, after demonstrating by their work what they intend to do, to reimburse 'themselves.

SARAWAK IN THE NETIES:
“AN EVENTYUL TIME.
The Rev. C.A. Koch, Colonial Chaplain, who has just celebrated the 68th anniversary at his birth,, made a brief reference during the morning service at Holy Trinity Church, St. Sebestiau, recently, to the trials and vicissitudes. he went through during the course of his Mission work in Sarawak, Borneo. Some interesting particulars in this connection art given below as the result of an interview a Times of Ceylon representative had with, the rev. gentleman..
The Rev. C. A. Koch, who has been carrying on Mission work in Ceylon since 1899 left the Island for Calcutta in 182, and, after qualify- ing for the Ministry, went out in 1856 as a Missionary of the S.P.G. to labour in Sarawak, the country of Sir James Brooke, uncle of the present Rajah of Sarawak, who a few days ago. passed through Colombe on his way to Eur- ope. At the time, the country had not been- opened up, and the town of Sarawak on the River Kuching was a very small place. There was only one road into the interior,. about 1 miles long, and this was used chiefly as a promenade by the residents of the place, while footpaths led from the river bank to the palisaded fort and the Bishop's house." Round about was the thick primeval forest, and com munication with the villages was carried on by means of rivers and jungle paths. Travelling in those days was not pleasant. The jungles were infested with snakes, and alligators frequently carried away people from the river banks.. Mission work was carried on among the Chinese gold washers, of whom thera: were several thousands, and the Aborigines, the Dyaks or head hunters, while the Malay popula tion were let alone, for various reasons. few European residents did not live in luxury. Their principal article of food was rice. There was no bread, and beef and milk were not to be bad, though later on the Bishop possessed a

The
The Chinese kept pigs, Pork, with a little fish, caught by the native fishermen, comprised the other articles of food. The place boasted of only one native dhoby, who washed for the Rajah. It was not an uncom mon thing for the residents to do their own washing. In December, 1856, they had much trouble in connection with the
REBELLION OF THE CHINESE.
This Examination continued:
was the measure of the advantage derived from lower freight alone which the American cotton manu- facturer had in 'China markets in competition in the country, followed by massacre and blood- with his British competitor. The witness put shed. "Itarose," said Mr. Koch, "over a triding in statistics showing the enormous relative matter." A Chinaman had been to a distant village 'increase within the last seven or eight and committed something like piracy, for which he was tried by Sir James Brooke and confined years of the imports of American cotton goods to Shanghai. Cotton manufacturers were in the fort. The Chinese, assuming they had now, evi cing a strong, disposition to leoka grievance, seized the fort on Christmas night more closely into the causes of the high charges and were quickly in possession of the village imposed upon the goods they produce for their of Sarawak. It was a complete surprise, Sir tr.nsport to reign markets. So far as the James Brooke barely escaped with his life, but exporting merchants were concerned, excessive Mr. Nocholetts, who was in the Rajah's service freight rates did not seriously affect him, be in the country and had come to spend Christ cause he could supply the wants of his foreign mas with the Rajah, was murdered in the. customers as readily by means of foreign as of bungalow.
