The St. Andrew's Society of Shanghai held
22nd inst. Mr. C. S. Addis (President) was in the chair and there was a numerous attendance. The report showed that the activities of the Society, both socially and on the charitable side. gave no sign of diminution but rather the reverse. During the year the funds of the Society increased by Tis. 302 to a total of Tls 3,818. The calls on the charitable fund amounted to T1 670, but as evidence of the judicious way in which this help had been rendered, the Commitee were able to point to the significant fiet that Tls. 359 bad been refunded by the recipients. Having adopted the report and statement of accoun's, the meeting decided to give the ustral bursaries of $100 each to the best boy and girl scholar of Scottish parentage at the Shanghai Public chool. It was decided that as St. Andrew's Day (30th November) will fall this year on Sunday the usual ball shall take place on Friday, the 28th November. Certain alterations in the arrangements, including the abandon ment of the 'second supper," were agreed 10.
S. Groundwater Vice-President of the Society Duncan McNeill was elected President and Mr.
forthe ensuing year. The following were chosen

Mr. George Butler said the Chairman had spoken of the conservative action of the Court 14 of Directors. Did he not think it possible Uhat they might be too conservative? Was it in the Chairman's opinion in the interests of the Company that shareholders should be driven to take risks in a rival Company? For such had been his fate in the last few months. The Chairman-Your directors have several times had this very subject ander discussion and they are fully alive in the interests of shareholders. They are hoping to inaugurate such methods in the finure as will increase the Company's earnings.

CONTINGENT.
Mr. Buller thought he had beller explain the 3 circumstance that called forth his remark. Late in july he contemplated shipping 2,00 packages of ten by steamer to Hongkong, and thence shipping it on to New York by the Comet. Being a shareholder in this company he wrote asking for net rates for insurance right through. The quotation be re eived was 34 per cent. Carrying his mind back to the old days before the Suez Canal existed he recalled that 3 per cent, was rarely equalled and never exceeded at that time, and that insurance rates had deceased very inuch since then everyone knew. He wrote, therefore, to another company, for its rates and received a quotation of 23 per cent. The consequence was that, although a shareholder in this com- pany, he gave the business to the other and' his own company lost Tls. goo nỊ Tis. 600,

- The Public Works Department won a stif contest by four runs. The following were the
score:
BIG FIRE AT KWEILIN.
OVER 300 HOUSES BURNER. According to the Kweilin correspondent of the North China Daily News, on the 27th ult., about 2.39 pm. began one of the destructive fires which have caused such devastation in the city during the past few years. It began in a fire-cracker shop, it being reported that they were testing the powder to see if it was good! The result was an explosion followed by two more. Immediately the fire had be come one of some size, and everything being so dry it spread like wildfire. By the time the small manuals began to arrive it was already out of the means that this city possesses of curbing a fire. Fortu ately there was no wind, otherwise it would have equalled the great South Street fire of last autumn. As it Wils the fire burnt over three hundred houses, which included two sections of the main street, viz., the Ho Fu Kiai and the Tsing Teo, and was finally brought to a finish by pawnshops in ei her direction. On the east and west it was bounded by a large pond and the magistrate's yaman. It will be remembered that last year's fire swept down the other side of this same yamên; in fact, all along its southern boundary this fire almost reached the northern limits of the previous one. THE REMARKABLE THING ABOUT THE HIRE was the wonderful salvation of the Alliance Mission premises, which consist of an ordin- ary Chinese house, whose walls are by no means fire-proof or as good as those of rome neighbouring houses. At the time of the outbreak no missionaries were present, one being out itinerating, and the other at the Church Mission house, which is a mile and a-half away. When Mr. Farmer, the missionary in question, with a member of the Church Mission, did reach the scène of the fire, there was no approaching the place by the man street, but after some long time they were able to work round the back and got in by a back way through a house at the rear. The only people in the house were the run- ners and another man. When they arrived Mr. But'er-I didn't ask for any favour, but they found all had fled, the frot preaching simply wrote asking the net rate as I did to chapel burnt to the ground, the dividing dear this Company, and the difference was sonie-down and the flames.pouring through_on_to_the_ thing startling.
The Chairman remarked that this was an individual item of business and he was not, therefore, familiar, with the details, but he could give his own experience as a merchant. in shipping by sailing vessel he had not been able to get less than 3 per cent to New York. Mr. Butler-Well, I insured Tis. 21,000 with a rival company about the 2nd August at 2 per cent and can s' ow my books in proof of it.
The Chai man-You must have been ex- ceptionally favoured.
The Secretar,I think in reply to your remarks I should say we do not seek much for sailing-vessel insurance and we generally quote rather a high rate as these are except ional risks from here.
Mr. Butler-But you are driving business away; you can alwayś re-insure the risk,
The Secretary-it is not so casy to reinsure, and 2 per cent is not a rate I shou'd think of taking on behalf of the Company.
Mr. Butler-Thank you.
The Chairman proposed, and Mr. McLeod seconded, that the report and accounts as now presented be accepted and passed.

One of them then thought that it would be well to see in the way of escape, as it seemed hopeless, and retir ing to the rear found the lane in flames. They therefore beat a quick retreat, leaving the place burning. Some hours afterwards, in the evening, it was thought well to send men to see if any pots and pans, etc.," had stood the fire, and collect them before the petty (bieves got them, when what was our surprise to hear that the place had not been burnt! The fire had gone out of itself, and another place that had subsequently caught fire and burning slowly in the roof of the dwelling rooms was extinguished by one of the returning men.
