He is trying to transform the military runners in the capital into bona fide municipal police, and has opened seven large police stations, the superintendent of exch of which has power to summarily deal with criminal cases, only sending a detailed report up to head quarters, In this he of course makes a grave mistake as the trusting of judicial authority to police must always prove, and did prove under the T.

TYPHOON WARNING.

NOTICE FROM MANILA.

Mr. W. A. Rubler, U. S. Consul-General, kindly forwards the following copy of a telegram which he received from Manila to-day-

MAN STABBED.

A Chinaman was charged before Mr. Kemp at the Police Court this morning, with assaulting another native on the 25th ultimo. It appears that on the night in question four Chiname aitacked the complainant, on the Praya at Wanchai: they kicked and stabbed him, pulled This queue, knocked hing about and left him senseless on the road. He was found in this condition by a Chinese constable and was speedily removed

to hospital.. Inspector Warnock appears to have got a clue to the whereabouts of the criminals and eleven men were taken to the patient at the Civil Hospital. The prisoner, however, was the only one identified by the invalid. From the com plainant's evidence it appears his aggressors desired him to leave Hongkong for Singapore, but as their request was refused they conspired 2 to kill him. On this statement being made is Court the prisoner became very noisy and it took the officials same time persuading him to be quiet. Prisoner was found guilty and sen- tenced to four months with hard labour,"

EDUCATION.

The Cantoneso seem just now to have a craze for Western education. Thousands of dollars are being wasted because of lack of method and because there is no qualified person to superintend the development of the new educational craze. There seeins to be no end of money. Almost any one with a smatter. ing of English and a little acquaintance with rich man to Western books can get a pay him A good salary and fit up a school. The Kwong Nga. Shu Un, Viceroy's College, is among the institutions that are wasting money.

Just now a lot of costly apparatus for experiments in chemistry and physics has been ordered. There is not a man in the institution who can take care of this apparatus, nor is there a man in sight. The outfit is ordered, that it may be waiting when a man turns up. Then the men who have ordered it do not know what is wanted and more than likely will have a lot of old material foisted upon them.

The latest move in the educational line was made known a few days ago. Some enter prising gentlemen petitioned the governor to have a certain percentage of the revenue from night-sol devoted to education, The sum collected from this source is large. The three tenis that the petitioners ask for would bring in a sum of $100,000. According to the petitioners this sum divided would be sufficient to support 250 arhools, giving $400 to each school. The money is used at present for street theatres, Fa triu and idol processions, idol worship, etc., ie, it is wasted. The governor has replied that he is willing that the money should be diverted to educational purposes provided the people in the wards are agreeable. This is a way of shelving the matter. The Kai fong will not consent until directed to do so by the governor Many of the people would be delighted to get rid of the Turin altogether on account of fires and interference with business. But it will be

impossible to get the people to move until instructed to do so by the officials. However if those interested in education will only ham mer away the change is sure to come. If Sham bad come as governor many believe that he would have taken up this matter and would have pushed it through.

THE IMPORT OF CHINESE EGGS.

The increase of the import duty on eggs comes into force on the 1st October next, says the Kobe Chronicle. On the authority of an

of the District Magistrate (Chih-hsien) of Hsi. ch'anghsien Ningyuanfu prefecture, had been guilty of favouring the Boxers and was a rabid hate of missionaries and converts, against whom ere appeared reason to believe that he was secretly platting, the Prefect of Ningyuanfu obtained the man's removal from his post. The diamissed official did not, however, leave the place but continued to keep company with sus picious characters and well-known desperadoes of the vicinity. In consequence of this, fearing that there was mischief in the air, the Ningyuanfu prefect boldly serred the bull by the horns and suddenly arrested the ex-official under cover of the night, when least expected and therefore unprepared, and escorted him in person 10 Chèngiu for trial, the result of which is being anxiously awaited. Of six Boxers leaders who were recently executed at Chinyanhsien, in Trechou sub prefecture, where the first Boxer distmbance in the province occurred about four months ago, one was a military graduate of the second degree (chujën) and two of the first or licentiate degree (hsiuts'ai), all belonging to leading families of the vicinity. The result of this has been that a numerously signed petition has been presented to the Viceroy (K'uei Chun) accusing the magistrate who condemned and executed the men of having wantonly taken the lives of innocent mien. magistrate," said the accusers, "has a son who being a gambler lost a large sum to these men.

TOLSTOI'S PUBLISHER.

PROSECUTED FOR BLASPHEMY AT LEIPZIG.

All Germany was astounded a few months age on hearing the news that the German edition of Count Tolstoi's works had been con- fiscated by the authorities. The reason for this step was that-the edition includes a trans- lation of Tolstoi's famous reply to his excom- munication by the Russian Holy Synod, and the Public Prosecutor Ends that several passages in this reply are directly blasphemous.

The reply, it may be noted, circulates freely even in Russia. The German publisher and translator have appeared before the Criminal Count at Leipzig, charged with circulating: blasphemous literature, and holding a religious' body up to disrepute.

Fortunately the Court, in a very few minutes, acquitted both defendants, and ordered the books containing Tolstoi's letter to be restored, It is stated, however, that the Public Prosecu tor intends to appeal against the verdict,
