By these variona cases the crops are worse than in pre vious years....

We have to record that the American physi olan from bars has been called to the mines of Ping.tu, where an explosion occurred in the works, and several persons were injured. The injured are reported to be improving.
There have been a few changes song the officials here. The salt Commissioner, Pan Chulu-eni, has retired from poor health.

Owing to certain mistakes in the military records of the province, the Board of Revenue memorialised the Throne, and the Governor was to be lowered two degrees while the Treasurer was to be degraded Probably the matter will be explained sway by the moual methods. It is rather hard for the TreaBRESTE who has been acting in that capacity for only about a month. The Treasurer really implicated had already retired from ill-health. The pro- sort Acting Treasurer has been the Jadgo, and only last year the Teking authorities made a rush for him, and he seemed destined to lose Lis office.
