Ou the other hand, His Excel ouey the VICEROY in his amoyance at certain newspaper reports, has taken steps not easy to justify, and in one particular may be said, as a trampacific ndngo has it, to have "bitten off more thou be can chew." At one meeting of railway agitatore some very strong language was used, and one enter prising editor, who managed, to secure a full report, was arrested. It was not alleged that his report was unfair or inaccurate, and he offered the characteristic and shrewd excuse that he had done no more than bia duty in recording the proceedings, maintain- ing that it was only right that officials and others should know what was going on. The apshot was, apart from the release of the editor and the arrest of the Brator, that Viceroy Chou Fir decree that in future no public meeting of more than fifteen persaus may be held without an official per- mit.
