INSULT TO BUDDHISTS AT HANKOW.

CONVERTING TEMPLES INTO PUBLIC CONVENIENCES.

Hamków, October 25.-The ver- nacular press carries the incredible news that the local authorities hav issued definite orders to the city police to compile lists of all the shrines erected to local divinities (Tut Mino) in Hankow, stating whether they were built by public ce private subscription, the sins of the ares they cover and the nature of the surrounding propertica.

The purpose of this order is that superstition may be overthrown ad hygiene promoted by converting all that are suitable into public con- veniences The rest are to be de molished.

This news is the more amazing as it follows so soon on the visit of representative Ruddhists from the Yangtze Valley to Nanking to interview leading members of the Government. This deputation plead- ed for religious liberty and for the right to maintain their external organization, and they received a very favourable reply.
