(With Apologies to the Shades of Bret Hark.): General Kwong Kam Fuk offered the Go- vemment Tis. 150,000 yearly for the privilege of undertaking the collection of-likin on merchandise in Swatow. Viceroy Tao accepted the offer, and the arrangement was to commence from last month; but it appears that General Kwong Kam Fuk's ideas and those of the merchants differ. His little game was to levy a one per cent tax (at selling price) on export and import merchandise. The sum of money that would be derived from a tax of this description has been worked out to be $1,000,000, and the merchants simply refused to pay, Consequently, the general had only one of two things to do, either climb down or try and make them. He chose the latter course, got very angry and made several arrests. Now it so happened that one of the merchants, a British subject, com. plained to his consul at Swatow who communi- cated with the British Consulate, Canton, point ing out that it is laid down in the treaty that na likin shall be levied on any foreign goods sold in the treaty ports, or on native goods. exported to other Chinese pons after the ic-Branch Office at No. 2, Des Voeux Road port Customs duties had been paid: In his turn the Canton Consul explained this to Though he smiled as he chewed and be the Viceroy, and a despatch was sent to the

SWATOW NOTES.

SWATOW, August 23rd.

INJUSTICE TO PRISONERS, In many parts of China it is customary to confine alleged offenders to a custody room, called Ngoi Kee, (outside prison), previous to their being sentenced, and it is not surprising to find that while in this Ngai Kee, they are very harshly treated by the keepers, who severely beat them for extortionary purposes.

Ex-Magistrate Mc Ching, of Ching Hoi Dis- trict, used to employ spies and forthe time being topped these cruelties. This good systém was also successfully carried out by Magistrate Mo Ching's successors till Magistrate Fong Cheng took the reins, when it appears that the spies took a share of the squeeze "pidjin" los and the poor offenders more heavily oppressed than ever.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, was held at the Cannon-street Hotel, London, E.C., on zzad ult, Mr. . H. Gwyther in the chair.

The notice convening the meeting having been read, the Chairman expressed his regret at having had to call a meeting that day, but their charter compelled it, and they had to abide by the law. The following letter had been addressed to the First Lord of the Trea- sury:-"The general public in Hongkong, European and Chinese alike, object to receiv ing payments of even moderate amounts in cash, a reason, no doubt, being due to the un wieldy nature of the silver currency. In conse quence of this, the demand for bank-notes bas increased to such an extent that, especially during the time of the Chinese New Year, great difficulty is experienced by the manager of

THE HONGKONG BRANCH

of this bank in meeting the requirements of bis customers. The limit for note circulation at that branch under the existing charter is not sufficient to enable us to cope with the demands of the community. The matter is one of public convenience, and we therefore ask your lord. ships to consider our request that we should be authorised to issue notes in excess of the total amount of $8,000,000 as provided in our charter against the coin or bullion, or coin and bullion equal to the whole value of such excess issued for the time being actually in circulat- ion. Under the conditions of the proposed arrangement it is manifest that no difficulty would accrue to the bank if the privilego we now ask were accorded. The

however, would be of considerable importance, as cash payments will be greatly facilitated and business transactions promafed generally."

Continuing, the Chairman said they would then see that the company was acting pro bono publico. (Applause.) He would now read the resolution. "That the Court of Directors be authorised to apply for and to take all such

steps as they may deem expedient to obtain such an extension by supplemental charter or otherwise of the Bank's powers under its pre stat Charters as will enable it to increase the amount of its issue of promissory notes above the amount of $8,000,000 authorised by its existing Chairters."

Mr. Levita seconded, and it was carried unanimously.
