Later accounts increased the mortality to 11, a statement which has not been contradicted, and is to be feared may prove correct. Various reports are current as to the cause of death, and at first an impression, prevailed in Chefoo that a terrible outbreak of cholera had occurred. The symptoms
proved themselves to be those of some poison and it is presumed that it was conveyed by means of tinned food of some sort. There has presumably been an enquiry and inquests, but, in the meantime the greatest sympathy is felt with all the teachers. The school is conducted on the most careful princi. ples, and everyone is assured no blame is attachable to the school folk, and that the calamity has been due entirely to misadventure: YUAN SHI-KAL

All his memo. rials, in fact all memorials sent in have to pass through the hands of a member of the Grand Council named Chu Hung-chi, who does not appear to be very partial to change of any kind.

EMBEZZLEMENT.
Edward W. Langley, harbour runner, in the employ of the Victoria Dispensary, was charged by the Manager with embezzling, on the 14th May 1901, and the 5th May 1902, the sums of 542 and $30 respectively, which were entrusted to him. He was arrested on

The ten chosen are: Princes Ching and Su; Jung Lu, Na Tung, Wang Wen Shao, Liu Chuang He, Chu Hung-chi, Yean Shi Kai, Kwang and Chang. The two latter are un' known to me, but the others are rather a mix-
ture. Out of the lot Prince Su and Yuan Shi Kai are the only ones worth a rap. I need hardly say this Board will only add to the historic record of uselessness established by all other Boards and Councils ever since we have known China, and no expectations need be awakened by its creation. It will do nothing but possibly add to the confusion of incompetence already rampant around the Throne, and whose happy thought it was is not stated.

An official has memorialized the Government concerning the misunderstandings continually cropping up between native Christians and new converts. He suggests that as the pro- vincial officials are so ignorant a specia official' be appointed to each Province to devote his time entirely to the settlement of these disputes, but then such officials must have some foreign education and possess some knowledge of international law, fle suggests that those who fill such a post creditably for three years should be singled out for promotion. Yuan, has tried to get a foreigner to fill this position, and may possibly succeed in getting a suitable man if he stays here as Viceroy. I should have mentioned above, however, that so many want to get him out of the way that he may any day be trans ferred to Canton.
