THE Hongkong and Macao Steamship Co.'s steamer Xiukiang which has been undergoing repairs for some time came out of dock on Satur trial trip yesterday. The Kiukiang will take the place of the Heungshan on the Macao run for a few days, while that vessel is docked for a few repairs, after which, on Monday next, there will be a complete change in the service to and from Canton; the Kirkïang being placed on the day run and the Honam on the night trip. The Powon will be taken off the route on the 29th inst, and be docked for general overhaul,

A telegram from St. Petersburg states decided that the Czarewitch shall embark at Trieste for his tour in the East, and will probably start in a fortnight. A telegram from Washing ton says that he is expected ere long in the United States, and that he will travel incognito, and will not receive public addresses or atten- tions. The Government has decided to reviesa.m. the regulations affecting the rights of foreigners to hold landed property in Russia. The con struction of the Siberian Railroad will be divided into three sections, and 350,000,000 roubles will, it is stated, be required for completing the first portion of the line. In financial circles it is expected that the Government will have recourse to public credit for that amount, giving per- ference to an internal loan.

The importatios of Chinese tea through Kiakhta diminishes to such an extent that when the Finance Minister was recently in Khokaad the merchants petitioned hits to increase the duty on Indian tes, and so protect their trade.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

Mr. Whitehead asked. Is the Govemment aware that the water supply to the Robinson Road district was cut off for several days last week, and that no notice whatever was given of the fact so as to allow the inhabitants to make provision to obtain water from some other source? Will the Government issue the necessary instruc tions so that the public may have some notice In future of when, and for how long, it is proposed to cut off the water supply? 2. Is the Govern ment aware that there is a very great acarcity of water in the Western district at the Peak, and will the Government state what measures they ́are taking, or propose to take to meet the emergency?

The Acting Colonial Secretary said he had to Inform His Excellency that the water had been cut off for a few hours la Robinson Road, in the neighbourhood of Mr. Leach's As soon as he knew of it he gave the necessary house, owing to the carelessness of a turn-cock, orders for the supply of water to be continued to the residents of that road, and by 2.30 pm, on the day la question communication in the "mains," which had been interrupted for a few hours, was re-established.
