The Chinese Delegation desires to offer a few observations thercanent in the hope that the position of China may equally well, be understood. The declaration that Japan succeeded Gerniany in the lease- hold of Kiaochon under the Tronty of Versailles is obviously one unilateral in character to which. Chinn, not being a party to the Treaty, cannot be expected to subscribe. It is, however, gratifying to note the reference to the fact referred to in the statement that Japan obtained her leased territories, not directly from China but from other Powers at a con- LEAGUE OF FELLOWSHIP AND siderabin sacribes in men and treasure.

FILING.

LOBAL AND GENERAL.

While coolie woman, was engaged in carrying stones down the hillside behind the Happy Retreat, at Happy Valley on Wednesday after noon a large boulder which had been loosened by blasting suddenly rolled down the hill and crushed bor. She was immediately rushed off to the hospital by the motor ambulance, but died on the way from terrible injuries recoivel.

A very distinct earthquake abock was felt in Shanghai on the night of December 1, at eight minutes to Eevon o'clock. A very definito impres- Hion of the earth's movement was emphasized by the ewinging of lamps and pictures, the rattling of crockery, and the general disturbance of house- hold movables. The movement con- tinued for a period variously estimated at one minute and apwards.

Reuter's Feking correspondent states that the American Legation has received notification from Washington of the following promotions in the Consular Service: Mr. Gale, Hong- kong, Corsal-General Class three; Mr. D. Jenkins, Harbin, Consul-General Class threo; Mr. A. T. Carleton, Consul Class five; Messrs. T. M. Wilson, E. B.-Price. S. Sakobin and J. E. Jacobs, Consule Class x; Mr. W. A. Adams, Vice Consul de Carriere, Class one.

The Government (says Reuter's Peking correspondent) is stated to have telegraphed to the various pro- vincial authorities, calling their atten- fion to the effect of the financial situation in China upon China's status among the nations. It expresses a desire to consult the provinces regard ing re-organization of the national finances and advances the opinion that the disbandment of superfluous treops is essential to the needed reform." Quite in the best style of the old Manchu reform edicts-and with about as much meaning.

The proprietor of an Electric Fit ting Store at No. 71, Main Street. Aber, deen, was on Wednesday fined' 'SICO by Magistrate Wood for having stolen electric current from the Hongkong, Electric Co., by tapping the mains. A second man, the proprietor of a too shop occupying premises on the ground floor of thesame house was discharged, the Magistrate deciding that although, he had told a number of lies during the hearing of the case, he had spoken the truth about having paid to the other man $5 to put in a Company

meter.

While mention has already been made of the fact that smallpox is ex- acting a heavy toll in Shanghai, the N.C. Daily News deems it a duty to warn its readers that the disease is on the increase and that it is advisable to take the rudimentary precautions of vaccination to combat it. In this respect it mentions that when H.M.S. "Alacrity" and H.M.S. Woodlark" were in port the whole crew were vaccinated and every member of the crew of H.M.S. "Guat," now in port, whs vaccinated. No member of the ships company was excluded from the operation, everyone, from the captain to the stokehold Chinese coolie, having to face the doctor.
