of Kwangsi. A large and influential meet |ing, presided over by His Excellency the Gov- ernor, was held this morning with the result that a committee was appointed to deal with

the collection and distribution of funds. In this respect, we note with pleasure that the Tung Wa Hospital, always to the fore in benevolent work has already been for warding substantial aid to the district, while several local gentlemen have notified their willingness to help with the funds. With commendable forethought, His Excellency, after making numerous inquiries in Hong kong, despatched Mr. C. Clementi to Wu- chow with instructions to transmit an account of the state of affairs, and, in case of urgent nucessity, expend $1,000. Sir Henry had every confidence that his action would be endorsed by the public of Hongkong, and in this, there is no doubt; for, we believe, having read the details furnished by Mr. Huss, and published in a recent edition, general opinion will recognise with Sir Henry Blake that the famine in Kwangsi is a matter calling for immediate action. Not only is it a question of the preservation of the lives of thousands of

H, E, the Governor-Ladies and gentlemen, I have asked you to meet me here to-day for the purpose of laying before you some facts that have been brought to my notice with re-, ference to a famine existing in a portion of the province of Kwangai. On the 17th instant a letter, written to the Bishop of Victoria, by the Rev. Mr. Byrdie, of Wuchow, was submitted to me in which it was stated that in certain dis-

icts of the province of Kwangsi a famine existed that people had no food, that the rice crop had failed for two years, that people ware dying with hunger, while others were selling their women and children into slavery for the purpose of saving their lives. 1 madé, some further inquiries. On that day Mr. Fox, the Brit sh Consul at Wuchow, was in Hong. kong, and I spoke to him on the subject, and heard from him a confirmation of the statement that had been made by Mr. Byrdie. He told me that every day there might be seen children sold in the streets of Wuchow and that at least 100 poor women and children came down in launches from the Nanning side, in addition to numbers of people coming down in 'native junks, and generally bore,ut the statement that a famine existed in this province. I then communicated with the Rev. L. M. Piazzoli, who was kind enough to make inquiries among his missionaries in Nanning. One of asked him to give him any information he could the rev. gentlemen present wrote to him and

IE. the Governor-1 should lave asked Mr. Gershom Stewart to kindly take the office of secretary. You know what has been done up to the present moment, and there are three things that we have to study: first, the extent of the famine, next, the collection of necessary funds, and third, the mode of distribu.ing those funds, I would ask you—if you accept the proposition that " there is distress, and I think we have sufficient before' us to enable us to accept that to allow me to propose that a committee for the purpose of carrying out these three suggestions, be fim.d. The committee, I would propose to you, would be the Colonial Secretary, the Registrar Gershom Stewart, R. Shewan, J. R. M. Smith, General, Sir Paul Chater, Messrs. Dick on,.

D. R. Law, N. A Seibs, Shellim, A. J. Raymond, H. N. Mody, C. Michelau, Dr. Ho Kai, Wei Yuk, Fung Wa Chun, la Tung Chau Tung Shang, Chau Shin Kịc and Ho Fook. If you are satisfied, I should, likel some gentleman to propose, that this Com mister be formed to consider the matter and to carry out whatever resolution may be prop sed with regard to the famine in Kwangsi.

Archdeacon Banister gave a corroboration of the statements made by the Rev. Hess and told his experiences on the Saïnam whin returning from Wuchow to Canton yesterday morning. He was fully pursuaded that all the statements which had been made were tun in. every particular, and intimated that both the Church Missionary Society and himself would be glad in any way to co-operate in the movement (applau ́e). :--:

The Hon. Dr. Io Kai proposed the thi gentlemen suggested by U.E. the Governor be appointed a commitee for the collection and distribution of funds, and suggested that Sir H. A. Blake's name should be ad-led as president, Sir Paul Chaer's and Mr.J. P.. M. Smith's, as treasurers, and Mr. Gershom Stewar, as secretary,

INTERVIEWED on behalf of a Sydney paper, Chamber of Commerce, said trade was suffering greatly in Hongkong as a result of the trouble in China, and there was a general feeling of unrest apparent in Kwangtung. He did not put the trouble down to the lloxers, but to the manner in which the people are oppressed in' regard to the collection of taxes to pay off the indemnity to the foreign Powers. "The taxa- tion imposed," said Mr. Sharp, "is very heavy, and the mandarins see that they have never had such a chance in their life-time of feather- ing their nests. They collect the taxes and a great deal of it goes into their own pockets. When the people rebel against this the man darins say that it is all done for the purpose of paying the foreigners. Thus the feeling of enmity against foreigners is worked up among the Chinese. "It is hard to say if there will be general rising, but there is a general feeling of resentment at th taxation and without doubt a rebellion is smouldering. The opinion of a great many people is that there is trouble ahead in China.".
