manner most touchingly illustrated in the recent illness of -H. M. King Edward VII. and it is sincerely to be hoped that no trivial incident will be permitted to create a reach thereof. Speaking on behalf of the Portuguese subjects, the prompt abrogation dication that between the Portuguese Govern of the law would perhaps furnish the best in- ment and its people perfect confidence prevails. The popularity of the high officials might be at once restored and rancour in the hearts of the ninss assuaged if popular demand is yielded to and their public prints given free ingress as hitherto, into the country of their birth without suspicion or distrust. We rely upon the judgment and better wisdom of Dr. Lello to use his independent counsels, dissociated from indiscreet promptings of would-be wiseacres, with the Government at the Portuguese metropolis in order to remove a grievance of which the governed sorely complain.

DANGEROUS The French Hygienic Council declares that one of the imitation cigars now being sold as a cure for the tobacco habit is more dangerous to the smoker than a dozen tobagen cigars.

UNSUCCESSFUL COMPETITION.

The members of the late C machine-gun- company of the Bongkong Volunteers held an unsuccessful shooting competition for the Aggregate Cups and Spoons at the To-lang Range on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Several members were unable to attend the competition owing to the funeral of Corporal C. Cameron taking place at the same hour. Out of the full strength of the Corps as now represented in Hongkong four competitors turned up at the range and two of these failed to score. The other two made a poor show, Whether the cups and spoons are to be given to these four is not yet known..
