CHINESE VOLUNTEERS VOR HONGKONG, The latest fad taken the shape of a contro- veray for the creation of a Chinesa Volunteer Corps, which, by the way, was first brought to the notice of the Government in su interesting editorial in the HX.T. The Hongkong into insignificanes and judging from the amount of public attention which the question has claimed, it can safely be presumed to die a natural death. The idea is not a bad one and has the sympathy of some of the leading Chinese citizens, but when its most ardent supporters seek to hide their identity behind the mask of anonymity, then it shows a half heartedness and undue modesty which are hardly consistent with the apparous enthusiasm evilced. Oh, dear me, what next? I Fincy we shall next hear the clamorous cries of the Germans, French, Americans, Japanese and all the rest of them for the formation of their respective units à la Shanghai.

SUBSDIARY COINAGE.
The vexed question of subsidiary coinage, which has always been a thorn in the side of Government, has not yet reached the stage, of solution and therefore the terms of the Mackay i reaty remain, to all intents and purposes, a dead letter. The reference to the question by His Excellency the Governor in presenting the Colonial Estimates threatened to give rise- to a wardy warfare between two prominent citizens, but, furtunately, wiser counsels pre- vailed and as far as the public are concern. ed, they have missed things. Maxnwhile, the local Anikorities are patiently waiting with an unruffed dignity somewhat after the fashion of après vous for China to take the much-desired step, but I fancy they might as well wait till Doomsday for aught the Chinese officials care so long as the money comes rolling into their coffers.
