The sending of more troops to Chihil will, we presume, mean that the return of the Court to Peking will be still further postponed on the ground that the foreign troops have not as yet withdrawn. If more troops are sent to Chihli, we really do not expect to see the Court back in Pcking this year and, as the Empress Dowager cannot fast for ever, it is somewhat rash to try to predict what is to be the outcome of it all

The Tattine by Chater Road, in the Kowloon Go downs, is horribly effluvious and poisons the surrounding atmosphere for a long distance. This may be a good method of advertising the latriae, but it is not pleasant to those people who have to pass along the road. As we said before it was all very well to wall up the latrine, but some method should have been found whereby the stink could, have been walled up at the same time
THE survey party under Major Renny. Tailyour, Attached to the China Force, has returned to India. It did excellent work over fifteen thousand square miles of country, though the staff was hidiculously small for such an important expedition, Major Renny-Tailyour had only originally a native Sub-Assistant Superintendent and some native surveyors, until he was joined by Captain Ryder from «Yunan - Wo (Bemony Garella) pointed out the inadequacy of the staff at the time... One would have thought the lessons learned in South Africa, where even Natal was unmapped, would have influenced the Government in this matter of survey work in China.

AFTER all the books of travel in China. that have been written showing the complete knowledge we have of the country and people, there is a man right here in Hongkong that it will perhaps take a week to find anyone that can talk to him.

A HOME paper to band by the last mail says:— Bryant and May shares have fallen pretty sqb stantially since first the unfortunate Diamond amalgamation scheme was mooted. There is now afoot a movement, with every promise to be abortive, to prevent the amalgamation by refusing to confirm the resolutions at the forth- coming meeting. We do not see that the shareholders will benefit. If facts are as the directors alleged at the recent meeting, thed although an unsatisfactory slate of affairs is
revealed, it is evident that the Bryant and May Company is helpless. It was a sickening, spectacle to find directors of a British company, which has for years past been giving invitations to support home industries, protesting that. their company was not able to compete with the American concern. In other words, they had allowed themselves to be outmanoeuvred and found that the Diamond Company had all, the most modern appliances, whereas they themselves were ill equipped for the tride gele.
