A
AN OFFICIAL SCARE, The Canton officials have bad a stare. night or two ago some one started a rumour that some Wai Chau rebels were marching on Canton city. These men were reported to be members of the Triad society and were deter- mined to loot Crinton. It is well known that the Viceroy has taken most of the soldiers with him to Kwangsi. No more than two hundred braves have been left to guard Canton. The Viceroy has also taken the money chest with him so that those in charge of the government have a sorry time. When the officials heard that the Wai Chau Triads were coming lanterns were displayed on the walls and officials rushed about in great excitement. Of course, the rumour proved false. It is more than likely some one aware of the state of the city and the anxiety of the officials started the rumour to frighten the guardians of the city. If this was their purpose they succeeded admir ably. There have been rumours for several days that the Triads are unusually active. From different sections of the city there are rumours that Triads from Wai Chau are coming to the city in unusual numbers.

The President said that with regard to the first proposed standing order, he had received a communication froin the Colonial Secretary to the effect that it was the wish of the Govern ment that applications revarding exemptions from open spices should be dealt with at a full meeting of the Board. Therefore he would not proceed further with the question. He moved that the Board inake the second stand- ng order.
The Vice-President seconded.
Mr. Hewett and Mr. Pollock spoke against the proposal, and upon it being put to the meeting Messrs Pollock, Hewett, Fung Wa Chun, Messer, and Lau Chu Puk voted against, and the President, Vice-President, Capt. Lyons, Col. Webh, and Mr. Kunjahın for the motion. The President gave his castina yote in favour of the proposition which was carried.

The merchants of Wing Lok Street and Bonham Strand request the Government to select another site for the purpose of erecting a public latrine and not on the site at the triangular space on the south of the Harbour Department which was proposed by the Sanitary Board. On the triangular space in question there was once erected a latrine which was demolished by order of H.E. the Governor Sir Richard G. MacDonnell, and about ten years ago, the erection of a latrine was again pro- viewed and objected by H.E. the Governor Sir G. W. Des Voeux. They further state that public latrine has been already erected in the Vicinity of Wing Lok East, and so it will not he necessary to erect one in Wing Lok Street, Central, as latrines will be built in the New Market.

THE DEFENCE OF CHINA.
A meeting, the like of which has never before occurred in San Francisco, took place at the Washington-street threatre in Chinatown, San Francisco, last month. Nearly 20co Chinese were wedged into the building, and they listened carefully while a number of their coun- trymen discoursed on the needs of China and the methods whereby she could gain her right- ful place in the political world. The most sur- prising feature of the whole proceeding, how- ever, (says the S. E. Call), was the fact that the adherents of the Empress Dowager and those who opposed her sat on the same stage. The opposition is largely made up of what is called the reform element. The former Chinese Minister at Washington, and, in fact, most of the Chinese dignitaries, have frowned upon this faction, and for this reason the gathering is notable. The speakers ardently advocated the spreading of education through. mut their native country and the provision of ways and means for defence against the in- cursion of foreign powers particularly Russia,

BAD FREIGHTS.
THE SAD CONDITION OF THE BRITISH SHIPPING TRADE.
At the present moment, when the Zollverein with all that it means in the way of damage to the carrying trade, is bring considered, the cardition of British shipping is of special interest. There is no doubt that the shipping com anies are passing through a serious crisis due to insufficient heights.
It is true that there are only some half-dozen vessels lying up at the London and India Docks, a number which does not represent any serinus increase; but, according to the editor of the well-known shipping ngan E-play the number of ships lying up is so test of the state of trade, and for this reason ma y of the shipowners are running their vessels at a loss.
Some of the ships are mortgaged to bankers and other people. When the mortgagees see money passing and an att' m at tride going on they fe1 satisfied. But the moment they sce shipowers ceasing to trade they become alarmed and threaten to foreclare In a good many cases, the foreclosing has actually taken place.
The depression, according to this authority is entirely unprecedented. It is not so much the result of shrinking trade as of over-build. ing. The building of ships, in fact, has out. stepped the progress of trade.
