HOSPITAL AFFAIRS,
A correspondent reports, that pickets have been stationed at the door of the Kwangtung University Hospital (Kung Yee), and anyone coming out with a parcel is made to open it for examination, Even the foreign docters are not exempt from this examination.
Dr. P. J. Todd and Dr. F. Wright, the only two foreigners on the staff of the Hospital, will leave their positions at the end of the month. The resignation of the latter was voluntary, the former having been, however, fore- ed out by the Government. Dr. Todd was, it is understood, told that if he did not leave willingly ho would be forced to go, although he was working under a signed contract. In all probability these two foreign gentlemen will tablish a private hospital in Can-
