450 li or 150 miles distant. The season being that of harvesting, we found some diffoulty in seguring coollen, and I seut some of my books-seven cases—by launch direct to Idenchau. This, though the freight was high, was cheaper than coolle hire. Finally, after securing coolies, wa were ready to start on what proved to be the hardest and most discouraging journey I have yet taken. I purposely chose the overland route, my previous experience had led me to expect good sales at places less frequently visited by foreigners.

But the times and things were under- going radical changes here in this vicinity, though I little realised these changes would in any way interfere with our work. The first I noticed was at Pingnam, a place just 1876 below Konghau, where the officials had prohibited idol processions. Money had been subscribed for the same, and the merchants and elders held meeting after meeting to discuss ways and means, but the magistrate remained:

We learn from this letter that there are certain important facts to be taken in con- sideration when a judgment is belog formed on the Lienchau massacre. There is the criminal dissemination of boycott literature all over the Two Kwang, which has stirred up the people against foreigners generally and against Americans particularly.' - This boycolt literature is full of gross exagger- ations and misrepresentations, and the Viceroy and his staff and subordinates are highly culpable for allowing this literature to be distributed broadcast even after their attention was called to its nature and dangor. The native officiale, by des

1 disestablishing temples troying and in order to convert them into schools of Western learning, have aroused a hatred of Western innovacions and West erners in the minds of the ignorant people, and made them believe that the object of foreigners is to destroy their temples and suppress their religious ceremonies. This doubtless helps to account for the massacra at Lienchau. On the other hand, it is gratifying to see that Mr Burkwall, tra elling through a country full of exci- tement, met everywhere with friendly treatment, and he appeare never to have been asked whether he was Eng- Tishman or an American, and he was able

One of the partners in the firm was call ́ed and stated that their assets were about 86000 and debts about $5000. The whole of the liabilities were good debts and should

Mr G. F. Dizon, for the creditor, said that he made an application under section 33 of the Bankruptcy Ordinance on behalf

of the Sam Tung Cheung for payment of taxed costs in a recent action. ・・

Mr O. E. H. Boavis said the act

Mr G. H. Wakeman (Official Receiver) said that he thought the application wae rather premature as the firm had not yet been adjudged bankrupt.

Mr C. E. H. Beavis, on behalf of the petitioning oreditor, applied that the debtor should be adjudged bankrupt. He did not appear and the creditors had resolved that the debtor should be adjudged bankrupt.

This application was granted and Mr Dixon's application ordered to stand over until after the Official Receiver had drawn up his report.

To arrive at that conclusion the interests of the candidates in the wolfare of the Colony must be considered; their public actions and general capabilities must be weighed, and then the vote given, to the one who 'tips the beam.'

It transpired during the investigation that a serious attempt was made to organize a rebellion immediately after the massacre. The leaders of the mob approached the elders of the twenty-four wards, into which Lienchau is divided, and urged them to co-operate, but they refused to do so. It was very difficult to secure witnesses.
