Canton, 1st December,

FIRE:

A fire broke out in a shop a little to the north of the Canton Hospital this morning at one o'clock. The wind was high, and it looked as if the fire would spread. The Hospital Church is being, enkarged and repaired and a large matshed has been put up to cover the build- ing. The sparks from the fire fell on this shed and for a time it seemed that it would catch fire. Water was played over the shed and the danger ariested. Three shops were burned, It is rumoured this morning that the shop in which the fire originated took out a fire insure ance policy a few days ago and that the fire was caused to clain the insurance.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CANTON,

There are several important improvements being carried forward at the present time,

The Bund moves forward slowly, For a time there was great activity just below the wharves of the Hongkong and Canton steamers. The filling in was done and the stone wall built for a considerable distance. Then come orders for the work to be pushed at the east end of the city. For some time active opera. tions have been carried on in the neighbour. hood of the official landing. It is said that in some places the filling has been carried too far out into the river and must be removed. Of course it is natural that the Reclamation Com- pany should wish to reclaim as much as pos-

sible. The reclaimed land is selling from six to ten dollars a square foot. -

THE CANTON CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, Plans have just been completed for the first permanent building of the Canton Christian College. The estimated cost of this building is something over $80,000. It is hoped that work will be begun upon it before long. Mr. Stoughton, the architect from New York, has prepared the plans, but the erection of the buildings will be under the supervision of Messrs. Pearnell and Pagett of Canton. The building will be of iron and cement and will be practically fire proof. It will accommodate 200 boys.

The following extract from the New York Times gives some idea of what the College is

to be -

Our prices are fixed, and you can buy at ease per messenger or entrust us any orders from lecal distance, but we never ask two prices whether you or another come.

For local customers, we will take the most convenient way, though money not remitted in advance, we will not fail to excute order on receipt, and carefully packing, mail per parcel post with payment against acceptance.

For convenience of our customers, we will issue handsome tickets of goods which are most conveniently used as presentations.

She is built of Siemens-bered according your commands, to any places Martin steel, and is a three-deck steamer with if in city. forecastle and poop connected with the mid- ships deck house, and has two pole masts fitted with, fore and aft sails. She can carry about 1,000 steerage passengers in great comfort and with great safety. A very agreeable feature of the ship is a large dining room, with serving pantry adjoining, in the fore part of the deck house, and quite distinct from the berthing accommodation, capable of accommodating 200 persons. The entire spacious promenade and upper decks are at the disposition of steerage passengers. The middle part of the promenade deck is covered with a permanent awning deck upon which the lile boats are carried; the remaining part of the promenade deck, and the poop deck, are protected by a canvas awning. There is a double bottom available for water ballast, and 8 transverse bulklicada dividing the hull into 9 water-light compartments..

The cargo space is equal to 7,400 tons capacity, calculated at 40 cubic feet. The arrangements for the rapid handling of the cargo include five large hatchways, six powerful steam winches, two steam cranes and numerous derricks. The machinery consists of two triple expansion engines, aggregating 2,5ro indicated horse

power.

Hape, was placed in charged, and he discovered that at deeper levels there had existed thick and rich coal beds which had been completely worked out by perpendicular stufts, denoting in every way a high degree of scientific skill which is entirely lacking in all Chinese mining industries within historic times. by a somewhat curious coincidence, some further light has been thrown on the same subject by a correspondent of the Sydney Bul letin, who, in looking through Marco Polo's HARMSTON'S account of his travels in the latter part of the thirteenth century, found the following reference to "stones which are burnt instead of wood:- "It may be observed, also, that throughout the whole province of Cathay there are a kind of black slones cat from the mountains in veins, which burn like logs.
