EXPORTATION OF CATTLE PROHIBITED.
[From Our Own Correspondent.]
Canton,'15th October, The Viceroy has received a despatch from the Shangpu (Board of Commerce) instructing him to communicate with the different Custom Houses under his superintendence, to strictly prohibit the export of cattle. As cattle are mostly exported from Chauchow and Swatow, the Viceroy has issued special instructions to these places on the subject. The Board ad- vises the Viceroy to follow the regulations now in force in Amoy.
THE PENALTY, OF NEGLIGENCE,
In connection with the daylight robbery, which I reported a couple of days ago, the officer in charge of the police station of the locality has been dismissed from the service.
PROPOSED LADIES' INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING COLLEGE Through the suggestion of several well- known and wealthy ladies, it has been decided to establish a ladies industrial college here. The Education Department has sanctioned the opening of such an institution, which is to be styled "The Canton Ladies' Industrial Train- ing College." A nunnery in Yung Chung 'Street, in the new city, has been selected as the site. Subscriptions to the extent of several thousands of dollars have been collected, and a start will be made at once with the erection of the building. It is the intention of the leaders to employ female Japanese instructors and in employ all necessary machinery, etc. from Japan. The school is to instruct persons in the arts of manufacturing cloths of all kinds, reel cotton, stockings and like goods.

MARTIAL STUDENTS. Of late. students are often seen marching about the streets, as soldiers do on parade, wearing uniforms, beating drums, sounding bugles and carrying cosigns. From their ap- pearance it is thought they have devoted too much of their time to calisthenics and too little attention to their books, he students' doings are somewhat of a nuisance to many. It is reported that the director of instruction has consulted with the Education Department with a view to abolishing these parades,
