actions of the officials of this province regarding the Transit Pass system and the collecting of Lekin on foreign goods, but there still remains much to be sat on the subject. Recent develop men's show pretly conclusively that the actions of 'the local officials are and have been in Accordance with fastruesions received from the Viceroy, who in this prince is about as much an absolate rannaich is the Case of Rusals in his own dominions. The Traball Pass system is practically non-existent in this province gonds have heen went away from here, which have been delainer at the Lekin barriers and forced to pay Lekin alter they had paid the half Tract duty.: others have been allowed to pan the barrier but on arrival at their destination forced to pay Lekin was any Lekin collected before, and by the district magistrate who ordinarlly has mithing to do with such matters. Not only were the goods compelled to pay this illegal tax, hat the man in charge of them was Imprisoned and fined for no other reason than avalling himself of the rights granted the goods by treaty, regardless of ownership. The official at the barrier at Ho Chow declared that he knew nothing about the Transit Pass and would not regnise de uniess ordered to do so by the Viceroy, and this it is very clear the Viceroy dia not do. It is perfectly well known that no petty official will refuse to recognise. Any Treaty segulation unless he is certain of the aperoval of his superiors. If he did so it is quite certain that he would inė his situation. I learn from what I consider a thoroughly rellable source that the Vireray has circulated private Instruc- tions to the effect that all goods going into the Interier under Transit Pass must pay a lote tex of three per cent, on arriving at their destination. It matters net whether there is any lote collected In the district or not; goods arriving under Trans! Pass must pay this tax of three per cent. which is more than the half daty and is also more than the full amount a Lekin Pass would be. if there was no Transit Pass taken out.

This was all very well. and would, no doubt, have made an end of the matter had not Mr. Hodge previously promised to give the native workers some little compen salon for the trouble of moving their houses elsewhere. This action of the manager seems to have given a certain number of the Chinese gold diggers the idea that their claim. la grad; and though the majority of the native works bave joined the coolies of the company, there is still a recalcitrant minority who may cause much more trouble,

Further, it appears that Mr. Hodge has caused some little offence to the Singapore Director, who considers that the Chinese had no claim whatever to compensation, and that the maunger exceeded his powers in giving. such. It is contended, and with reason we think, that ns the concession was granted by the Government It was the bounder "duty of that Goverment to remove the Chinese workers, and protect the staff and coolles of the compray. However, we trust that any misunderstanding between the Directors and managing engineer will not tend to jeopar dise the success of the venture. Mr. Hodge, we understand, bas had great experience both in Pollyla and Chill, and from his repate, and previous success we should say that he was a very valuable acquisition to any company that is anxious for success. Good managing engineers are scarce at the present moment in the Far East, and it would be a pity if any pelty difference of views cost the Company the services of an experienced and successful man.

We have heard much of the auriferous districts of Siam, and we have been disappolated in the resalts of the working and management of most of the ventures started in the country, This may be as much from lacompetence as on account of other difficultic; but we would wish to see every mining enterprise is Siam given a fair field, for proving its worth, and by being worked on a and commercial fooling remove the stigma

NANKING, June 26th, 1897, We are beginning to have hot weather now, and a pankat is a real pleasure in the sultry evenings. I have already mentioned something about the new management of the Naval College, I may add' that, the Viceroy, on coming inio office, removed Mr. Shen Yun-bo, to appoint one of his own creatures to Mr. Sho's post, and the new Incumbent conscientiously squeezed as many dollars as he posuibly could out of the appointment, with the result that the College was very, nearly ruined. Seeing how matters were going on, the Viceroy very wisely recalled Mr. Shen and sent him to take up bis old post.

A few days ago eight of the soldiers engaged In killing focusts, entered a farm-house, and finding only two defenceless young girls, korribly outraged them.
