General Post Office,

Hongkong, May 13, 1886.

I have the honour to

on.

the subject of

- probationers in this Department.

I find that, as soon as

any promotion takes place, so that the probationer actually employed receives a salary, however small, I have two or three applications for permission to fill the so-called vacancy, the applicants expressing themselves as indifferent to the length of

time that may elapse before

they

receive

any

remuneration. Mor

are these expressions altogether idle.
