H.E. SIX HENRY BLAKE.

Sir Henry Arthur Blake, the Governor of Hongkong, who succeeds Sir Joseph West Sheffield Daily Telegraph as a witty Irishman, Ridgeway in Ceylon, is described by the and a writer as well as an administrator. He has been all over the world in Britain's service and it is a unique testimonial to his personality that wherever he has gone as a Government official there have been petitions and prayers to retain him. Sir Joseph West Ridgeway pro- bably is not sorry to get away from Ceylon. As the chief gaoler, so to speak, of the Boer pris. oners he had not an enviable time, and then 'came the death of Sir Hector Macdonald to cast a gloom over the whole island,

Speaking of His Excellency, the Pall Mall Gazelle says: Colonial Governorships found their 'man in him, and he administered the Bahamas and Newfoundland so successfully that when a vacancy eccurred in Queensland, he seemed the fittest Governor to fill it. This was 50 apparent that the Irish party raised a howl over the appointment. So-Jamaica got a Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief, whose term of office was twice extended, and whom Hongkong will be equally sorry to lose.

very generally set the present Viceroy down as of little good to the province. He is regarded as insincere and unfair in all his dealings with others. Whatever may be the motive that prompts the Viceroy there seems to be little hope that during his reign over the Two Kwang any marked improvement will take place Certain it is that at present the country round about is as unsettled as at any previous period in its history. There are more cases of robotry and piracy reported than usual. The silk growers of Shun Tak say they were never so badly protected. The passage boats never had so much trouble with the pirates. The Viceroy may be too much absorbed in the pacification of Kwangsi to care what goes on nearer home, but he is fast lasing the little con- fidence that is left him by his carelessness in looking after the interests of the people. Fur ther developments are awaited with much interest.
