PATRIOTIC SUBSCRIPTIONS

AND VICEROY Tsen Ch'Un-H«‹UEN,

A Canton letter states that another attempt by the high authorities of that city to bleed the the unlucky Chinese residents of Australia, the Strai's Settlements, Java, Buraco, Sumatra, etc., by sending a special deputy to those islands to ask for "patriotic subscriptions for the rescue of the Empire from rebellion and famine," has been neaily nipped in the bud by Viceroy Tsen, who apparently perfectly under stood that the monies so obtained ultimately filled the pockets of the high placed collectors instead of rescuing the Empire. It appears that Governor Li of Canton thought the Kwangsi rebellion and famine gave a good opportunity to tquch the hearts and sympathies of Chinese in the island of the Pacific, the more because nine: tenths are descendants of Chinese of, or them selves hail from, the Two Kwang provinces,

The Hon. Dr. Atkinson said-Your Excel- lency, gentlemen. I am sure. I am voicing the opinions of all present when I say how much we appreciate your kindness in coming to night, Sir, to open th's the first session of the Hongkong Branch of the Sanitary Institute. The Sanitory Institute of Great Britain has been established since 1876. Its objects are to promote the advancement of sanitary science in all or any of its branches, and the diffusion of knowledge relating thereto. The council is compared not only of medical officers of health and physicians but also of eminent architects and engineers. The work of the Institute began with the examination of sanitary inspectors, but it is now something more than that; there is a permanent museum-the Parkes

paratus of the most approved forms, relating to health and domestic comfort: there is a large library of sanitary literature, which contains in addition to standard works on sanitary science collection of reports of medical officers of health over the whole country and a reading room supplied with the principal sanitary periodicals both home and foreign; it holds congresses and conferences by means of which many important practical, conclusions have been arrived at. This society although founded H.E, therefore appointed a prefect named Yin London is not only English or British, but to proceed south and incidentally reported the matter to Viceroy Tsen. To the Governor's great surprise, however, he received a telegram from the Viceroy dated from Hsürchou, Kwangsi forbidding the sending of the deputy in their joint names, that is to say, in the names of the Viceroy of the Two Kwang province and the Governor of Kwangtung. In his telegram the Viceroy the Two Kwang said: "object to this appealing for sub scriptions from Chinese of the Southern Pacific, because our Emperor has, so far, done nothing for the protection or the advancement of his subjects in those islands. We, there fore, cannot in reason ask for such help. indeed, had an idea of sending a deputy my self to the Southern Pacific but it was with the intention of finding out the actual con

This hint of course was plain enough to Govenor Li, and he probably saw in the dim and shadowy future an Imperial decree in response to a Conunciation of Vicary Tsen ordering his (Governor Li's) disgrace and imprisonment in the Board of Punishments for pocketing money subscribed by the patriots of the South Pacific countries towards relieving the famine in Kwangsi province. The result has been that Governor Li's project has fallen through, while on the other hand Viceroy Tsen has sent for the prefecuyu, (selected by Gaver nor Ll for the purpose) io go to Hsiachou with the object of finding what qualifications that official possessed to entitle his appointment by Governor.
