IT is asserted on good authority from Peking that China is net opposing the scheme for ems ploying Chinese coo se labour in the Transvaal. Wu Ting-lang hopes the Government will as sist the scheme, and relieve, the pressure of over-population in the Southern provinces.

Beyond the numerous figures and statistics and reports of speeches which have reached us from home, the only public attention which has so far been given to the controversy in Hongkong was a most interesting debate al the Union Church Literary Club in December last, when MÅ W. A. Sims placed the question before a crowded house in most explicit terms. Subsequently; the members carried the following resolution unanimously:-"That this meeting, believing that the changes which have taken place during the last-fifty years in the conditions | under which British trade has been carried on necessitate the reconsideration of the Fiscal system which we as a pation have adopted during that period welcomes the inquiry which has been instituted by the A.

It was curious that the next time the Excise Officer was seen was about rio'clock, and lie was then near the Yaumati ferry launch wharf. It was quite evident, as far as time was concerned, that he could have gone over and done the measuring and placed the opium on the premises and be back at the Yaumati launch wharf at a quarter to 11. That being so, Mr. Smith observed, he could come to no other con- clusion than that the opiam was placed on the premises by the Excise Officer, and tipt accus ed was in no way responsible for it.

As it is, the Farmer must, generally speaking, accept the Colonial coins only as legal tender and no other. But he has, instead of this, altogether done the contrary, lle will only accept Bank notes, which are not issued by the Government and refuse the Colonial Government coins. le will never accept the latter unless one pays him a premium of 6 cents for every dollar.
