NOTES ON NATIVE AFFAIRS.

November 19th.

H.E SHENG ON SICK-LEAVE. As may be remembered by readers of these columns it was expected that HE. Sheng, Director-General of Southern Railways, etc. etc, would go up in a few days North to Peking and thence by rail to Chênting to have ap audience with the Empress Dowager. We now learn that H.E. has been detained by indis- position from leaving Shanghai and has, more. over, received permission from the Throne to take a rest of twenty days to recruit bis health.

A SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AND HANDICRAFTS AT T'AIYUAN,

A Taiyuan dispatch to the Universal Gazette states that a School of Agriculture and Handi-. crafts was opened in that city by the Governor Ts'ên Ch'un-hsien on the 29th ultimo, and that HE. had also telegraphed to the Chinese Minis- ter at Tokio, H.E. Li Sheng-tu, to select and engage for the School a qualified Japanese in structor who will take charge of the institution for a certain term of years.

THE MIN-CHE VICEROYSHIP.

About three months ago it will perhaps be remembered that a certain Censor denounced H.E. Hsu Ying-k'uci, Viceroy of the Min-Cho, or Fukien-Cheklang provinces, at Foochow, on eight various counts, in consequence of which H.E. Viceroy Liu of Nanking was secretly ordered by the Throne to send confidential, deputies to the spot o investigate into the truth of these charges. There are strong sus picions that the Censor in question got his tip and a promised reward from the Tartar Gone ral of Foochow, Ching Sing, who has always been a bitter enemy of the Viceroy Hsü to make the charges. It now transpires that Viceroy Lia K'un-yi has reported to the Throne against his brather Viceroy with the result that. an edict has been issued ordering Hali Ying-k'uei to resign his past and attend at Court for some other appointurnt. Apropos, it was rumoured in local mandarin circles yesterday to the effect tha H.E. Li Ming-ch'éng, Governor of Kiangsi. is about to be promoted to the Viceroyship of Min-Che, vice Hali “ing-k'üei called to Court, as above noted, while Chou Lien, Provincial Treasurer of Fukien, would probably be select ed Governor of Kiangsi, vice the above named Li Ming chiêng.

THE INSURRECTION OUTSIDE SHANHAIKUAN, or Chaoyang, as already noted in these columns a couple of weeks ago, is still flourish ing and active, the Boxers and Taili having lately been reinforced by a strong force. of well-armed Hung Huitze (Red-beards), the famous mounted bandits of Manchuria and the terror of Russian patrols and native sympathi- sers with the Russians. It is also reported that General Ma Yü-k'un with a brigade of his so- called disciplined and foreign-modelled? troops, consisting of seme 4,500 men, including. cavalry and field artillery, has reached the frontiers of Chaoyang and that a battle was imminent on the 9th instant, between the two forces.

THE SIXTY-SEVENTH BIRTHDAY:

ANNIVERSARY

of the Empress Dowager, Tre-hsi-tuan-yu, etc, etc.. yesterday was celebrated by the local civil and military mandarins by attending at 4.30 am in full force at the Imperial temple or "Wanshou-kung" inside the West-gate of the native city, and prostrating themselves before the tablets containing her name and that of the Emperor In the afternoon the Tactai gavo a dinner in his yamen te his principal subordinate officers. All present attended in full Court robes, profusely embroidered in gold and silk flost.

THE FIGHT AGANST MALARIA IN ITALY

Since the discovery that Malaria, is certainly propagated by the bite of the mosquito, the Italian Government has been taking steps for a systematic attempt to drive the scourge frem their country. Malarial fever, as is well-known, renders extensive regions in Italy practically uninhabitable and its extinction means for the country àlvery large increase in material respuices. We translate below part of an article contributed by Dr. Albert Battandier to Cormor (Paris September 21st), which indi- cates the Italian plan of campaign. Dr. Bat- tandier enumerates the particulars of it. First, is the suppression of stagnant pools, by the betterment of the land. This will be necessarily slow and it will be hard to make it complete.. The second, precaution iş the preservation of man from mosquito-bites. Hers great progress has been made. All the workmen's houses of the Mediterranean Railway. Company, from Rome to Pisa, have been fitted with wirh screeat, and the same thing has been done in a large number of houses in the country, though the occupants do not all understand and ap preciate the benefits of this protection: Veils that hang from the hat below the shoulders, are used outdoors, and the kands are guarded by gloves. Dr. Battandier continues:

"But the third precaution is even more

mdical. To suppress malaria we must do away with those who have malaria. It is well known that the Anopheles when it bites a healthy person will communicate to him, at worst, an excessively light type of fever, which may pass unperceived. But if a mosquito bites this person so affected the fever bacillus reaches a fuller development in his intestines, becomes virulent, and when another person is bitten will cause malarial fever in that person." The Anopheles does not fly far. ... If, then, we can cure all the individuals who are found in a place reputed to be malarious, the bites of the mosquitos will not be dangerous, because they can not take up from the inhabitants the the weak virus that becomes virulent when it passes through the insect's intestines. Thus the Italian scientists attach great importance to what Dr. Gosio calls the amelioration of the man. To try this new cure the Govern

ment has sent a commission to Grosseto. This Tuscan city has so bad a reputation as a malarious place that the Italian Goverment sends periodically to Scansano, an elevated and healthy town, its affices and department of justice (prisoners excepted) and all its sub- ordinate officials,"

The commission has chosen five special localities, and has begun, in the first place, an exact census of malarial patients, basing thi exclusively on microscopic examination of the blood-the only means by which we can ascer tain with certainty whether an individual is subject to marsh-fever. The prophylactic method employed is the administration of quinin, We quote again:

"Although this new therapeutic is now re cognized as scientific, time has been required to bring this about. The suspicion that mosquitoes communicate malaria by their bites is no thing of recent dste. Twenty years ago the question was on the tapis ; the mosquitoes were declared guilty, but, it must be said, without positive proof. Then scientists conceived the idea of analyzing the blood, of mosquitoes that had bitten men, and to their great astonishment they found traces of quinin. See, they said to their opponents, not only is the hite of the. Dosquito ipoffensive; but it is even curative, since it applies to the disease its sole remedy quinin.

In spite of these experiments this method of cure never had the least success, and it must be confessed that it did not deserve it." Translation made for The Literary Digest.
