THE VICEROYALTY OF THE LIANG' KIANG.

The N.-0. Daily News says editorially We wrote on the 9th of October, when dealing with the transfer of H. E. Chang | Chih-tung to Nanking: It is not gener- ally believed by Chinese herb that H.E. | Chang Chih-tung will remain long at Nan- king, where, as we have already said, it is imperative that the Viceroy should be'a Hunanese; and it is expected that the sub- stantive appointinent will be given to H.E. Wei Kuang-tao, Viceroy of. Yunnan and Kueichou,' An imperial decree issued yesterday appoints H.E. Wei substantivo. Viceroy at Nanking and Superintendent of Trade; and confirms the statement that wo have often made that the Viceroy at Nanking must be a Housnesc, H.E. Wei's record leads us to expect that. ho will make дл excellent successor to his countryman, the late Baron Liu. Like so many of his countrymen who have obtained high rank, it was as a soldier that ho first attracted notice. Employed almost exclusively hitherto in the north-west, he was never a friend of Tung Fu-hsiang, and ho was transferred from the Shen-Kan pro- vines to the Yun-Kuei in 1901 because it was feared that Tung Fuli-siang would not be very comfortable under Woi's rule. By those who know him be is reported to be an official of strict integrity,, moderately

THE LATE CONSULAR POLICEMAN.

The training of the other two nullahs should be carried higher up the hill, and until this can be arranged, temporary me gares such as those in progress in the eastward nullah should to used for some distance above Bowen Road. The middle nullah should receive throughout a floor of concrete over its present pavement; and certain breaks in the concrete floor and sides of the most westerly nulluh should be

repaired.

3. Efforts should be made to give free concreted runnels to all oozing water; and the hillside oozing should as much as possible be received on well-slopo 1 concrete surfaces, to prevent the presence of little stagnant pools of water.

4. It is essential to take into account the district well above Bowen Road in all the operations for improvement of the health of MacDonnell Road, in which as well as in Kennedy Rond below it malaria is severely prevalent. Otherwise the presence of such swarms of Anopheles as I found in the larval stage just ahuve Bowen Road will nullify the efforts made on the slightly
