The working account shows a loss of $19,906.21 and after writing off $9,940.26 for Depreciation of Machinery, etc, there remains & balance of $20,846.47 to be carried forward to the Debit of next year's account!

This result must not lpwever be considered as a fair criterion of the Company's prospects, or of what the result should be of an ordinary year's working. No revenue whatever has been derived from the works at Kowloon, as owing to protracted delays which seem inevi- table with all building operations in this Colony, the works over there are only now approaching completion, and at Canion, although the record $25.00 has been one of steady progress, time has necessarily been consumed in obtaining new customers and in installing the light in their 509.44 houses, so that even there we have not had the beneft of twelve full months work. In fact $9,573.85 the result should be regarded more as prelimin- 0.50 ary expenses than as an actual loss on working. .............. 51,632.69.

AUDITORS.

The accounts have been audited by Messrs. T. Arnold and W. H. Potts who are recom- mended for re-election.

The details of the assault on the More fort show that a most stubborn resistance, WA offered by the savage mountaineers who sue shelled by the 27th battery of field artillery with mountain guns, and breaches made in the walls preparatory to attack. The fort have ing been sufficiently battered to allow free ingress, and the natives being evidently some what demoralized, the signal was given to ad. vance, a well-directed rifle fire being mean while poured upon the fort to cover the charg- ing party. At the signal the 27th gave a yail and with fixed bayonets stormed up the slopes and through and over the dismantled and

tottering walls.

The dattos and their men stood firm, cand a

dead and dying being piled up in heaps inside terrible hand-to-hand encounter, ensued, the the fort. It was then seen what deadly execu tion had been done by McNair's battery, in the mangled corpses strewn around.

Finally the Moros broke and fled, leaving over a thousand dead and dying. Among the dead were several of the stubborn and recal citrant dattos,

General Davis in his report of the operations speaks very highly of the work done by the troops under his command, especially, of the charge made by the 27th Infantry. He also pays a glowing tribute to Colonel Baldwin commanding the 27th!500,

The casualties of the battle of Bayan were all members of the 27th Infantry, except Sur- geon Porter and Lieutenant Wagner.

The General in his report says that the climate in that island is favorable for recovery, and that the men are receiving excellent care, but will be transferred to Malabang as soon as possible. He says that the report of Lieutenant Weeks having been wounded was a mistake/

THE KWANGSI REBELLION,”

A NATIVE VIEW.

Many natives consider that the trouble in Kwangsi and Kuangtung, says the Chinese Recorder, has far surpassed in gravity any rising since the Taiping Rebellion. It is reported that the rebels numbered 120,000 well-armed men, three-fourths of whom have Mauser magazine rifles. One account speaks. of these arms as having been chiefly procured from opium merchants travelling across country, but another account says.they were in the pos- session of all soldiers who had been ordered to 3.036-35 disband without their arrears of pay being giving 291.63 them.

started disturbances in the North and fighting Look place in Peking and Tientsin the South Eastern provinces were also much affected and all people were excited, for there were on the coast in this portion of the Empire many chance to rise and rub both foreign and Chinese residents while going away to places of safety Various Powers called fortroopsand war vessels to protect their own people and at all the open ports it was cared there would be disturbances. It was very difficult to deal with the situation At that time we received an Imperial Decree commanding the Tartar Generals, Viceroys, and Governors to defend their own provinces. and we also exchanged telegraphic communica tions to protect each other. Sheng Hsuan bwal being a resident in Shanghai for many years had close friendship with all the Consuls

the late Taotai Yu Lien-yuan of Shangai made of the various Powers and after consulting with an arrangement with the Consuls. Just at that. time communications with Foreign Ministers in Peking were cut off and the Consuls got powers to settle various questions from the foreign offices of their respective countries; then we (memorialists) entered into an agree ment for the Powers to protect the Settlements while the country adjacent to the Yangtse as well as Soochow and Hangchow were pro tected by the Viceroys and Governors, and so there were no disturbances and the protection of persons and property of the merchants and people, foreign and native, was complete. The coast, sivers and sea were protected by the war vessels of the various Powers, which. however were not allowed to approach the forts and arsenals. In this way the memorialists and the foreign officials kept their words to each other, and protected the country. We have also safeguarded our por vinces and suppressed all disturbances, and consulted on various matters with the Consule Thus several months elapsed during which there was happily no disturbance, Now on looking back at the situation of the moment as It was in 1900 our good fortune is apparent. We have done our duty as we always shall try to do, and so we acknowledge the imperial. benevolence, while as for the various Copsule, from the beginning to the end they have assisted us with their advice and co-operation and thus we were enabled to avoid danger and preserve peace. It was they (the Consuls) who maintain- ed the situation and we have here made up the hat giving their names as appended for your Majesty's inspection in order that they may be gamted decorations as a reward of their merits,
