The Assembly complacently looks on the working of malicious designs by those persons without trying to stop it. Thus, the highest legislative organ in the land has become the nest of ten thousand evils, and has brought calamity to the country. The Members of Parliament are public enemies.

CANTON, September 21st. From à very good source I have heard that last night a number of important arrests were made as a sort of sequel to the shouting of Chan King-wah. Mr. Wong Pak-ying, the Chief Detective under Mr. Chan King-wab, with his assistant, Ng Kwok-ying, and Dr. Ho, in charge of the Police Hospital, were arrested last night on the charge of being implicated in the ques tions that caused the death of the Chief Also on of Police on Monday night, Saturday were arrested and taken into custody the superintendents in charge

that foot there has been some conspiracy that he needs must put down with a strong hand, and that he means to bo the complete master of the situation.
Whether these arrested person will share the fate of their chief is not known, but it seems very likely. Public opinion at all times is a very difficult thing to guage, and in Canton at the present time it seems impossible to get at what the public really thinks of the late develop ments. Many were quite content to take the execution of Mr. Chan as a matter of course, but who are not prepared to agree with the wholesale rooting out of the modern party, which seems to be the real policy of the new Tutuh. Several of the persons lately reported as arrested arc very popular, and their arrest will not obtain favour everywhere.
Mr. Wong as the Chief Detective was a very fine officer and had a very efficient foreo under him. He had a very good name both in Canton and outside and had done a let during his tenure of office to minimise crime in the city, and it is to be hoped that he will yet continue his The manner in which the good work. arrests were made at the police stations A was anything but straightforward, band of soldiers arrived and said that they wanted to look over the station, and after looking around they went away, presumably to have a look at the district. After a few minutes they returned and said that the officer in charge would have to come with them to make reports, and when the poor man left the station he found that he was under arrest. The officer in charge of No, 2 Station has been under arrest for some days now, and it would seem as if they meant to keep him until they could make up some charge against him.
CITY OUTWARDLY. QUIET, Walking through the city one is led to the conclusion that all is quiet, though the is anything but the case. The people are very much afraid of the soldiers, and in several parts of the city the soldiers have given the people ample cause to be afraid of them. They have terrorised shop- keepers in a host of cases and have been ordering them about as they like. A favourite game of theirs is to go into a shop, say, a pork shop, for instance, and ask for 5 cents worth of pork. After having been served they produce a note and demand 95 cents change. The shop krapers say that they will give them the pork for nothing, as they will save money in that way, but the soldiers are not to be beaten, and stay till they get their change, which the pour shopkeeper has in the long run to fork out.

September 20th. TALK OF MUTINY.
In spite of the fact that there has been much talk of a possible ninthy of the police soldiers (who are now under the direct control of the Tutuh) taking place either yesterday or to-day, as a protest against the treacherous way in which their chief was shot, Canton has remained remarkably quiet. There has been a good doal of alarmist talk, but there seems little reason in it, as under the able commandership of Li Fuk-Jun, who has always been credited with working with
Considerable astonishment has been expressed at the issue of a notification by the Governor-General to the effect that whether by Government ammunition, permit or otherwise, are required to give up some to the offices established for their collection.

The ponies then ran in a close partnership until the village was neared, when Blush was sent ahead and put several lengths between himself and Wong. Entering the straight, Wong made a big effort to overhaul him, but was unsuccessful.

War Office police were acting under Commandant Liu, who was the cause of the arrest of the members of Parliament, which incident led to the resignation of Oliai Ping-chun, because he disapproved of their arrest.
The American legation has made strong representations to the Waichinopu.
Other Legations consider that the time has come for the cancellation of martial law in Peking, which gives Lia undue authority. It is becoming notorious that frequent arrests are being made without sufficient evidence.
The NC Daily News correspondent. cabling on the 17th just said
The case of the arrest of the American citizen, B. C. Yang, has created quite a sensation in American circles. The State Department in Washington has approved of the presentation of demands involving the punishment of the man who illused Yung, the dismissal of the police officer, an apology from the Government, and compensation, the amount to be decided later. Haiung Hsi-ling, the Pranier. called at the American Legation to-day and expressed his regrets for the incident. Yung's father was the first Chinese graduate of Yale University and after- wards Professor of the Chinese at Yale. He married an American lady and settled in America, and his son, being born in America, is in all respects an American citizen. The son also is a Yale gradunte and was recently in charge of the Canton Arsenal and ro his connection with the South is attributed the vigilance with which he has recently been watched by the police
