Moreover, I would remind you of the state- went in your Despatch No. 73 of the 29th March that house rent is the chief, if not. the only, expense of living which is not lower in this Colony than in most others, where Customs duties are levied and where wages are higher. I am bound to add that in my opinion-the scale of pay of Government scrvants in Hongkong compares favourably with that obtaining in most other parts of the Empire. I would observe, with reference to the suggestion made in your Despatch under reply, that, sterling salaries were in troduced in order to get rid of the system of making payments in dollars at fictitious rates of exchange, and even if I were culivinced of the necessity of taking steps in the direction which you advocate, I could not agree to any arrangements whereby that system would
be revived."

MINING PROSPECTS.
It is reported that there are good mining prospects in Yumehow District of Kwangtung The local gentry has obtained the services of a Mr. Chan Kwong Yin, a mining expert, who has completed several years of study in the United States, to ascertain the value of these mines. He has found out, in Suk Wo. several good gold mining sites, which are worth work ing. The gentry has floated a company, and drawn up regulations to open up these mines. A commencement of the work of this company will soon be mide.
TAOTAL WEN..
As Viceroy Shum will soon leave Canton for his new post, Taotai Wen has resigned and left Canton yesterday. It is reported that it is

The sub-Commitice reported that they had gone very fully into the question of the usass tance to be rendered to the junk and cargo boat population and recommended as the best method of procedure that a cermin șum pro- postigate to the value of boats damaged or lost should be advanced under security for the carrying out of the purpose of the advance.
A large number of losses of registered boats have already been reported to the Harbour Muster and Registrar-General.

The Hon. Treasurer reported that subscrip tions from foreigners to date a counted to
about $90,000, and his list was But yet complete. The Tong Wa Hospital reported about $79,000, of which some $28,000 had been received from outside the Colony and they also hope to further increase this sum.
The amount already collected, while large even while doubled by the Government, wil still full far short of the amount estimated as being required to relieve distress and pressing needs of those who have suffered throughout the Colony by the recent storm.
SUB-COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS,
Fund have had, under their consideration, The sub-committee of the Typhonn Relief among her matters, the question of the relief to be given to the owners of cargo-boats, sam- pans and other native craft lost in the typhoon of Tuesday last. At a recent meeting it was decided, we understand, that the recommenda- tiens to be made to the General Committee will take the following form in more or less, general terms. It is not the intention of the members that the committee should take upon themselves the building of the boats, Money the merits of will be advanced according cach case, in arriving at which the Committee will be guided by the licences on the register at the Harbour Office and at the Registrar General's Department. The approximate value of the boats lost or damaged will be worked out by the Committee and a proportionate amount then advanced by instalments, the balance to be made op by the borrowers them selves. In this way it is believed an incentive will be raised for the last bats to be more expeditiously replaced than otherwise. Those preferring to buy boats from Cantos or neigh. bouring places will be allowed to do so at their option. Guarantors must be furnished by the borrowers is a bona fides that the con ditions of the loan, viz., the prompt supply of the boats, etc., will be carried out.
