A LACK OF INFORMATION I
Yesterday's meeting of the Legislative, Council was not unproductive of good "copy" from a newspaper point of view notwithstand ing the fact that the discussion of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance was postponed till the arrival of Sir Henry Blake. The meeting was proceeding amoothly enough until the first reading of the Rating Ordinance was in progress, when the Hon. Shewan awoke to the fact that another item on the agenda respecting the Widows and Orphans' Pension. Fund had been passed, and the following discussion ensued:
for the widows and orphans of public officers and every public officer joining the Service after a certain date has got to contribute to the fund. The resolution before the Finance Committee

it will not be a very large one.
Hon. Shewan :-Then, sir, I beg to give notice that I will ask at the next meeting of Council that the despatch from Mr. Cham- berlian to the Colonial Government, No. 33 of 1902, which has been laid on the table to-day, be published in the Gasette,

Memorials have been sent in to the Throne about the abolition of likin and increase of tariff pointing out that though the former would represent a loss to the revenue of 15 or-16 millions, the latter would mean an increase of 23 millions. The Throne has accordingly signified approval that the change should take place within the next two years, and those who may now be carried through.

It was not so long ago that imperial edicts abolished purchase of places the time- office; but in certain honoured custom was maintained with the result that Yuan fired by ambition to participate in. the handsome profits being made openly re-established the offices, though the edict of abolition has never been cancelled. So and so would it be with the "abolished" likin.. China cannot give a guarantee, and however much we may talk of it as an "experiment," once the tariff is raised it would not be lowered again, and it would simply mean a déliberate handicapping of trade in baste which would be deeply deplored at leisure.

DARING ROBBERY.
At a recent audience with a member of
bave complained that while apparently the best men were chosen for Viceroyships, in times of danger and difficulty they invari ably shirked their responsibilities and left everything to the Central Government. Tao Mu had proved rather an exceptional Viceroy in this respect and she regretted his resignation. She also pressed to be told the truth in regard to this, and at last asked straight whether it was not in consequence of his having memorialized against the eunuchs. The Grand Councilman while endeavouring to evade this cross-questioning gave himself away by his very confusion and the astute E.D. drew her own conclusions."
