PROPOSED CHINESE VOLUNTEER

FORCE AT SHANGHAI,

We translate the following Report of the Shanghal magistrate, Wang, to the Grand Secretary and Imperial Commissioner, Kang Yi, with reference to the proposed establish- ment of a native Merchant, Volunteer Force for the protection of Chinese merchants living in the Settlements and native suburbs **** "YOUR EXCELLENCY,

I have the honour to report the receipt by me of a dispatch from my immediate superior, the Sungkinng prefect, embodying. Your Ex- cellency's instructions with reference to the proposed establishment of a Municipal police force, a Volunteer battalion and Reserve gran ary for the district of Shanghai impressing upon me the necessity of earnestly obeying Your Excellency's instructions in the matter and ordering me to report separately upon, the result of the preliminary steps taken by me

under each heading.

"Bearing in mind this proof of Your Excel- lency's anxiety to improve the conditions of the country in the difficult crisis it is now undergoing, it is incumbent upon your pet tioner to use his best endeavours in the inatters. entrusted to him, and I have, therefore, now the honour to make the following circular report, both to Your Excellency and to the. high provincial authorities at Nanking and Soochow

"Now the primary duty of a Volunteer force is to protect the inhabitants of a place, but the Volunteer force to be enrolled by me will not only attend to the duty of protecting the people but also to protect the commerce of the dis- trict.

"Shanghai is jointly governed by Foreigners and by Chinese. Outside the native city

I have the honour, therefore, to present for Your Excellency's approval the foregoing out line of the Force intended to be raised, and, would beg that Your Excellency will see fit to grant a rescript therefor. Should Your Excellency favour me with your written approval' I will again convoke an assembly of those interested in this movement to decide upon rules and regulations for the placing of the proposed Commercial Volunteer Force on a permanent basis. With compliments etc."

UNMUZZLED DOGS AT SHANGHAI,

SHANGHAI, July 25th,

Mr. Cope, in answer to the charge, said that the dog was an imported animal, and since its

arrival in Shanghai had been enclosed in.a space covered by a wire fence which had former ly been used as a fowl pen. It was allright when he want to bed at 10.30, and the next moming he was told the small dog had run out. He at once telephoned to Inspector Kelley at Carter Road that the dog had got away, an he was told that the animal had been taken by the dog-catchers and sent to the Hongkew Police Station. He then drove to Hongkew and was told by the sergeant that he could got the dog. back by paying $to. He said he would give a compradore order for the amount under protest, which the sergeant said he bad not the power to accept. He asked if he could see the Inspector, and he was told he could do so: He saw Inspector Ramsey, who met him very civilly in the matter, and who finally agreed to accept the compradore order given under pro. test. On Monday morning he got the best advice obtainable on the subject in Shanghai, which was to the effect that the Police had no right to enforce the order. When the order which he had given for payment was presented he refused to pay "It, and his authority was nothing less than that of the British Consul. The dog had never been in the Settlement, and every care was taken of it, and it was only loose for four or five hours.

His Worship: Then I understand that you got possession of the dog without paying any fec.or indemnity.

Mr. Cope: Yes, Sir!!

THE STEAM LAUNCH SERVICE

between this place and Chefoo, noted in our last letter as being remarkable chiefly for its irregularities of time and rates, has been dis- continued. When an enterprising firm under- takes this service, which we hope will be done before many years, it will doubtless prevé a success. There is much travel, amid much discomfort, on the Great Road which runs along the coast from Chefoo to the west, but people could not afford to wait indefinitely at any of the ports where the launch stopped, when by pushing on overland they could reach their destination in two or three days at least.
