Hon. W. M. Deane asked if there would be residence for the masters at the new Central School.
The Chairman replied in the negative. Hon. W. M. Deane-A large building like that ought not to be left without some, one in charge.
Hon. P. Ryrie-Was if not, the idea they should have a boarding College ?
The Chairman-That has been given up, 1 think. There will, of course, be a care-taker,
Hon. J. Bell-Irving-Will the present Central School be sold?
The Chairman-Ves, and it is hoped the sam obtained for it will go far towards paying the ex- pense of the new building.
The. Chairman went on to explain that 'the addition of $1,000 under the heading of grants- in-aid was caused by the present vote being in. sufficient. The Inspector of Schools had repre- sented that the number of schools was increasing so rapidly and education increasing so much that the present vote of $17.000 was inadequate. The Secretary of State, had given it as his opinion that the sum voted for education should be decided by the Council with regard to the finances of the Colony, and whatever sum the Council put on the Estimates must be adhered to. The result had been that on one of two acensions, the Inspector had had to give less to teachers than they would otherwise have received under the grant-in-nid scheme. It was to prevent the necessity of making any reduction of that kind that the Inspector had recommended this increase. The reduction of $1,400 appearing under the heading of "Quarters for Masters at Central School" was only apparent and not real, the amount having been added to the salaries,
The vote was approved.

The Chairman-Bat that distribution will be iupplemented,
The Colonial Treasurer-How much? The Chairman-If My Price had been here | he could have explained it.
The Colonial Treasurer-With, the present" stribution you cannot make arrangements, counting on fresh water, because there are many houses out of reach of the present distribution Therefore all our arrangements are based on sea water; if there is 'fresh water too, so much "be better, but we cannot count on it.

The only thing needful that such a happy consumination should take effect is the opening of China to föreign enterprise and skilled labour, This is the much desired means: China's economic regeneration and new birth is the infallble end. The main objection entertained In the absence of Mr. Price the maller was by Chinese statesmen of the all school is that Jostponed.

to regenerate the country economically, it will probably endanger 'its political status In other words, China entertains fears of being actually dispossessed of its political and national birth-right by the intruding Western. But it does not require much discrimination to see the folly of such theories. Between conservatism and exclusivism a broad line of distinction must be drawn. The integrity of the Chinese Empire is ent even remotely threatened by the introduction of Western industry and labour. The Europe of today is not anything like the Europe of the middle ages; it is, in fact, an exact counter- part of and contrast to the adventurous, the conquering, and oftentimes, the marauding powers which ruled the West in those dark ages. Prenties and international compacts now mile the day, and the spirit of public and political morality has so much improved, after lime's pro- langed travail, that the rule of iron which was once Europe's system of Government has now been substituted by the rule of intellect and of humanity. As China has everything to gain, and nothing to lose by the introduction of European industry and skilled labour it is fully to be hoped that it will try the experiment to its fullest extent, and that, by following the wise policy manifested in the opening of its first railway, it will reap the full benefits of advancing civilisation and progress,
It may be interesting to note that Prince William of Hesse-Cassel whose death under melancholy circumstances was reported in the singapore papers, was, according to London Society periodienis thought to be an eligible "parti" for the Princess Louise of Wales, being one of the very richest of Continental Princes He was closely connected to the Queen of Den. mark and the venerable Duchess of Cambridge, who are bath princesses of Hesse-Cassel: Prince William passed through Hongkong, some short time age coming from Japan and Shanghai.

before she could transfer them.
Hon J, Bell-Irving-Then it is the same as at Shanghai,
The Chairman-Yes, the sisters are coming from the same institution, the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul.
Hon. B. Layton-It will be a great blessing to the patients.
Hon. J. Hell-Irving-I. suppose there is no objection on the score of religion.
The Chairman-No, I think that has quite disappeared now, and i think it was a very silly

Hon. Bell-Irving--There was at one time. The Chairman-Some difficulty was caused by Dr. Atkinson saying they should be able to speak English, but the Secretary of State refer- red us to Singapore and Penang, where they -have worked so well They speak English sufficiently for the requirements, and they have the advantage of being able to communicate with foreign patients. The vote for the Lock Hospital used to be provided for under miscel- laneous services and kept as a special item, but the Secretary of State has given orders that it in to be past and parcel of the Medical Department. The colony will have to pay the whole of the expenses, all fees under the Ordinance, having bzen annulled.-
The vote was approved. The increases under the heading of police included eight additional European constables, ten Indian, and eight Chinese. Eight of the men were employed by the Registrar-General, but had now been transferred to the police,
Hon. P. Ryrie-Certainly the police want a much larger addition than that.

Hon. P. Ryrie asked if the inquiry about the late attempted escape of convicts was satisfac tory,
Capt. Denne said the matter was not finished yet. It would come before the Supreme Court, but some of the nien were still too ill to allow of the case being gone on with as yet.

CHINA'S NEW BIRTH....
The Tientsin-Kaiping railway which was so suspiciously inaugurated the other day in the Northern province may he considered to be the first self-taught lesson on the progress of industry and civilisailon which China has thought fit to take after centuries of inaction and suspense, Our Tientsin contemporary, in reviewing the development of trade, industry and traffic brought about by the running of the first iron horse in that part of the Empire, is unsparing in its praises of the new departure, and expresses a hope that the em of railways, of rapid Inland inter- communication and extensive mining has fairly dawned over vast Cathay. We fully share this hope, as we feel sure it will find a responsive echo in the immensity of China's bosom. A country that has sin dormant for centuries past, has now fairly awakened at the shrill blast of the locomotive and the steam engine; what puissant vitality it may eventually develop in the course of time, it will rest with the coming generations to see and admire, For ourselves, we find in the movement already created by the Tientsin-Kaiping • railway a sure pledge of mighty changes in the near future of the land of the Hans, and we cordially congratulate the energetic promoter of the concern, Mr. Tong King Sing, and his associates, upon their untiring perseverance and final success,
A
cursory perusal of the effects alluded to by the Chinese Times as directly produced by the first railway in China will convince anybody that one of China's sorrowi—emigration-will sonner or later, but will certainly, be assuaged by the introduction of railways, steam navigation, min- ing and other industries into the vast Empire. The myriads of Chinese who yearly leave their native country in order to sell their labour to foreign capital in foreign lands represent to many economic losses of no mean magnitude to their country. While the merchants of Peru, Cuba, and subsequently of North America, Australia and the Straits Settlements have anriched themselves by utilizing Chinese labour, China has been constantly drained of one of the most valuable resources of a nation,-its native working men.. The causes of this disgraceful system of self-depletion are to be found in China's deep-rooted policy of inactivity. Its statesmen and leaders of men have for ages allowed the country to throw away its labourers; industries that create labour have never been allowed to take firm root in the land, and the result has been a wholesale emigration—that drawing of a nation's life-blood which is sure to bring death and ultimate decay in its train. It has been said that emigration necessarily follows a superabundance of population, and that like a safety-valve, it rids the nation of its redundant vitality for the benefit of
DROUGHT IN KIANGSU,
A Correspondent in Chinkiang sends us the following account of the state of the country to the south of that port and says it is becoming a very serious matter for the peasantry in the interior far from the Yangtan, and any engineer-. ing firm might have an opportunity for intro- ducing artesian well appliances :-Whilst Man. churia, and Kiangpei are suffering from too much water, the country about here extending 10 S., S.E. and S.W. for 80 miles is troubled with drought, and barnt up for lack of rain. Norain to speak of has fallen since the wheat harvest was garnered in. e. since end of May. Occasionally clouds accumulate and rain descends for 2 or 3 hours, but the clouds invariably dissipate and disperse, as if the dryness of our atmosphere absorbed the vapour in the air. Rain has often been known to have fallen at Shanghai, Nanking, and Wuhu, whilst here only the advance guard of the clind battalions has darkened our sky. As a consequence, the rice and other crops to the south have been lost, whilst the lack of water has driven the peasantry to tainted sources of water supply, with the usual result of cholerate and similar diseases It is necessary now in many places to dig down 200 feet before water can be. obtained and there is now an excellent opportunity for introducing artesian wells. The people are clamouring for food. Their stores are becoming exhausted, and local subscriptions are being raised among the Chinese for the purpose of charitable distribution. It is proposed by Chinese to allow a month's house rent to be applied to the above purpose, and a large sam could be collected in this manner. If foreign landlords would jain in this proposition, it would be beneficial to our good name, and would induce a more general acquiescence in the proposal. Unless relief is given, there cannot fail to be much misery and distress during the winter. Refugees, now so numerous, from the North, cross the river every winter and go South to obtain work. The drought and total failure of crops will leave those who arrive destitute, and in the hands of destitute, men. There cannot fail to be trouble if measures of relief, chiefly in the shape of money, are not inaugurated. It is probable relief will be required till the month of April next.
Chinking, 16th Oct,
The same correspondent writes of the state of matters in Honan:
I hear the Yellow River is declining in volume and that the water in the flooded districts is at a standstill, but it is now two feet above last year's level.
As to your query ahout places for the distri- butinn of money I find the prefecture of Ying- chow-fu and Fo-chew in N. An-bui are suffering most from the late freskets, In Ho-man at
Chung-mow, at Wei-shih, and at Chow-chia-kow
there is also severe distress and much water, There is a "wei" at Chow-chia-kow where official relief is given, but the proper and only effectual way for foreigners to give relief is to go from village to village, which are perched on islands of high ground in the midst of the waters, and there to distribute rice; the suffering is very great in these isplated spots, for official relief does not reach them, and they are left chiefly to private charity.
Mr. Yen You-chih a scholar with a Ling-sheng B.A. degree, is now occupied in relieving distress in Po-chow and in Ying-chow. He devotes his life to this kind of work and is entirely trusted by the people. For ten years he has been at work distributing charity in Chibli, Shantung, Honan, Shansi, and Kuangtung, and his services are eagerly sought for by charitable people desirous of distributing money.-N.
