this report, though I have it on fairly good authority, may prove to be incorrect in some measure, and the Minister's destination may have been otherwise than represented. The story of any trouble in Peking may have originated in the fact that one of the ministers was alitmed by several rifle-shots quite close to him when out walking a few days ago, and on making complaint was informed it was the Tariar troops practising, but that orders, would be given for them to be more careful.

PLAGUE.

Very few

cases are reported. To the south of Canton at Shui Tung and other places along the coast plague has been very bad. It would seem that Canton is to escape a visit- ation of plague this year.

STREET CLEANING.

Notwithstanding all that has been said about cleaning the streets, nothing has been done, at least, so little that it cannot be noticed. The Officials issue their proclamations and that is the end of matters. The Canais sat run through the city have been in a mest horrible con- dition, If the authorities could be induced to fill these up after putting in large sewer pipes and thus turn the canals into roadways for rickshas it would be a decided improvement. This could be easily done at a very moderate cost. Boat travel by these canals is not ex- tensive at any time, and those who live on the canals could easily find another and healthier place.

LEPROSY.

I wrote you that Dr. Razing of Vienna was in Canton treating lepers. He has five or six men under treatment and in the short time be has been at work the appearance of the lepers justifies all he has said. There is not one that does not show a decided improvement. The large ears have almost disappeared and the swelling on the body has been reduced at least four-fifths. The men have a different appearance altogether. They all receive massage, treat meur, and to see Dr. Razlag giving this treat ment with his own bare hands would bardly
