THE collier Mercedes with a cargo of 5,020 tons of Admiralty coal, arrived in port early this morning from New Zealand, and is ordered to proceed to Weibaiwei at once in discharge there.

As the passenger rates upon the Siberian Rail. way are very low, the cost of a third-class ticket nom Hamburg to Shanghai by the Siberian and Eastern China Railways, inclusive of food during the journey, being little over £ro, whilst from Hamburg to Shanghai costs £30, the great difference has led the German Govern ment to decide to send soldiers serving in the Far East, and who return to Germany either on furlough or on sick leave, by way of the Siberian Railway.

A CORRESPONDENT writes to a Ceylon con- temporary-A coal lighter, which had gone into disrepair and had been under water for same months, was raised to the surface some days ago to be refitted for use. It was discovered that its keel was studded with countless pearl oysters instead of barnacles. The oysters were rf different sizes and very young, and in those opened no pearls were found. But their num-
ber was very large, and there was no mistaking the species of the bivalves. The interesting question is now whether the sea buitor of our part is going to turn out a mine, and if there are oysters there now, or whether these oysters were limited to the lighter keef? The lighter

The Mohammedans of China are also nearly forty millions strong.

CITY REFUSE NUISANCE.
A correspondent draws attention to the nuisance created by the mooring of the dust boats on the praya front a little to, the east ward of Blake's Pier and almost directly opposite Messrs. Douglas, Lapraik & Co.'s new premises. Ile urges that if the antiquated system adopted by the Colony for the disposal

POLLOCK'S QUESTIONS AT THE
SANITARY BOARD.
MR.
To the Editor or tux "Hongkong Telegrázie"
The Bathhouse Sub-Committee (Messrs. T. Meek, W. A. Crake and M. McIver) say that the bathhouse has maintained its popularity with the members and no falling off has been noticed in this part of the Club, in spite of its remote situation. They regret. to report the sudden death of Ah Yow, in whom the Club had lost a faithful and hardworking man. At the Aquatic Sports held on 5th, 6th and 7th September the Colony championship was won by Mr. N. H. Alves and the Club championship by Mr. M. A. Razack. Considerable interest had been manifested in water polo throughout the season, and the Committee had to record with satisfaction that the Club team successfully defended the shield after some very hard games with the naval and military teams. It was also satisfactory to note that the standard of play was improving very much and the roa-Club teams were more difficult to beat than in former years. The Committee hope that young members will come forward and enable the Club to enter at least two teams for the ap proaching competition. The best thanks of the Club are due to Mrs. Robinson for kindly pre-living above and under the flat in which a case seating the Aquatic Sports prizes.
The Gymnasium Sub-Committee (Messrs. E. M. Hazeland, W. 5. Bailey and A. Rodger) report as follows:-
Sir,-in the answer given by the A. M. O. H. to Mr. Pollock's question No. 1, 7e dead bodies found in public streets, I noticed that 37.5 per cent. of the plague cases were dumped and that the figure is the highest compared with the returns for the last five years. The main reasons, I understand, are that the Chinese in this Colony are afraid' of the Sanitary Board more than the pestilence itself, as they know too well that, if they report a plague case to the Sanitary Authorities, both the living and the dead are to suffer alike to a certain extent either their property destroyed or, in many instances, valuable articles lost or stolen during the disinfecting operations, and that people,
of plague occurred, arc also to share the same suffering by being forced to remain inside the | house for a considerable time waiting for the arrival of the disinfecting gang for their "torture,”
in taking up in detail the various points raised by "Anti-Dumping."
The A. M. O. H. has also mentioned that the Heard are now offering compensation for articles destroyed during disinfection, which seems a very wise course; bu: I should like to know how many of those disinfecting inspectors and their underlings have been informed of the Board's intention. I should suggest that these inspectors and the whale gang of coolies should be held responsible for damages done all articles, and that the necesary compensation should be paid out of their salaries and wages, and not from the Government, so that they may | know that by onreasonably throwing away other people's money, they themselves have to lose something as well.

ELLIS RADOORIE CHINESE SCHOOLS SOCIETY.
Th: second annual report of these schools for 1002-03-is just to hand. It is as follows:
In presenting the second annual report on the work done by the society, the council hopes that the record of progress and achievement during the past year will micet with general satisfaction. One circumstance it can point to with special pleasure. The efforts of the society to enrol members among the gentry in the neighbouring ports have roused the inhabitants of those cities to their educational needs with the result that at their instigation the provincial authorities have taken steps to open free schools in those districts modelled upon the plan of the society. This fact is a strong practical endorsement of the society's objects and methods, and it is gratifying proof that, at least in one corner of China, the rulers, and the masses are beginning to realize that education on Western lines is essential for the progress and welfare of the empire.
The alterations and repairs of the buildings at Ngau Chow, Honani, were not complete till the beginning of March so that the school established in that district was not opened til the 8th of the month. When the opening was advertised, more than 600 applications for admission were received, whilst the accommo dation was suthcicat for only half that number strict entrance examination had therefore to be held, and only those who successfully passed it were admitted. The building is situated in a very convenient locality, and has received every attention as to Sanitation. All the houses

since been purchased with a view to their demolition and the turning of their site info a recreation ground, where the pupils may have drill.
In connection with this school it may as wel be mentioned that its expenses have, so far, been defrayed by the Head Office, the local committee having contributed almost nothing beyond their original subscriptions.
Shortly after the Honam school was opened, the president, accompanied by the secretary, proceeded to Shanghai, and, with the assistance of the local committee, opened a school in Park Road on the 1st of April. On the opening day only so candidates presented themselves; most of those who had previously registered their the tomb festival. This school has accommo- names having gone up-country on account of dation sufficient for 300 pupils, and is now filled to its full capacity which alone limits the number of the scholars.
fur
While on the subject of the Shanghai branch. the council deems it advisable to inform the members that the Cantonese merchants at that port almost simultaneously opened a school for the education of their own children, and it is being conducted on practically the same lines as the society's school. Had it not been this competition, the society might have met with better success as regards subscriptions. In admitting scholars, the local committee were very particular as to the social status of the pupils' parents. They had, no doubt, good reason for being 30, and, conse quently, Messrs. Kadoorie and Lau Chu Pak did not think it advisable to interfere.
On their return from Shangbai, the president and the secretary made preparations for the opening of the Canton school, Originally it was the intention of the Council to secure a place in the neighbourhood of the Western suburb, where the well-to-do people reside, but as all the efforts of the local committee failed, they were compelled to rent the present premises in Yuet Shau Street, in the old Manchu city, at a rather inconvenient distance. This school was conducted differently from the others. The officials, who are siembers of the local committee, planned out the work after the manner adopted in those institutions which The Committee regret to report that the

In H.E. Tao Mo the society has lost a most sympathetic friend 'and hearty supporter. Owing to impaired health, he had to retire into private life, ut died shortly after his resigna- tion was accepted. At this stage of its progress, the society cannot but feel deeply the loss of the help of such an influential and enlightened. gentleman.
|
As regards the financial position of the society, the council regrets that it cannot report similar progress. The president and the secretary, with the assistance of the subscrip. tion committee, have exerted themselves to the utmost, but bad times, famine, and other causes have militated against their efforts to such an extent that they failed to collect even half the amount expended last year."
Deducting 39,845.00 paid to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for the 30 years' lease of the Hongkong school, and $11,178.58 spent on the Houam premises,-which appear in the balance sheet as assets in hand, the society bas, in reality, on this date, only $49,000.

The alternative has, therefore, been forced upon the council to charge fees in all the
schools, Notices have accordingly been dis- tributed amongst the pupils of these institutions to the effect that, from the commencement of next scasion, each pupil will be required to towards the support of the school at which he make a contribution at the rate of $24 ay an
receives his tuition, and it is but just to state that there are indications that the fees will be paid ungrudgingly, and that this ides of the council will prove a complete success.
Efforts have likewise been made in Shanghai a raise funds, and there the president's appeals seem to have met with a better response. The Shanghai choot has, sa far, been self-support- ing, requiring no assistance whatever from the head office. The council highly appreciates the hearty spirit with which the local commil. tee of that branch has taken up the work.
With refer nee to the work done in the various schools, the result is eminently satis- factory. The English headmasters and their staffs have stuck to their dalies manfully, and in spite of opposition and discouragement, have carried out everything committed to their care in a creditable manner. Their reports, hereto appended, speak for themselves.
In conclusion, the council avails itself of this opportunity to thank all those friends and sup- porters, by whose advice and assistance the Society has beneftied since its formation.

SITUATION IN YUNNAN.
According to despatchea received at Haiphong from Laokay the troubles in Yunnan Provinces, as recently reported in our columns, have been brooding for some time past, Chinese troops were sent against the rebels, but were so com pletely routed that foreigners were advised to assemble in the cities of Yunnanfu and Mei glsz, which were subsequently besieged. A proclama. tion issued at Kiotcheon was to the effect that who had been in charge of some mines where he the rising was directed against a certain tnotai
is said to have extorted money and decapitated some of the employes. This proclamation set net'that it was his head that was wanted and foreigners would have nothing to fear. Latest information to hand is to the effect that the siege of Mengtsz had ceased, but that the rebels still held Linangfu, The French authorities have troups in readiness to enter Yunnan, and the workers on the railway line to the frontier are protected by soldiers. At the date the despatch left Laokay, 27th May, there were 3,000 Chinese troops in Yunnanfu
and 2,000 in Mengtsz.
