Today, the members of the Legislative Council were asked, at the instance of His Excellency the Governor, to vote an add!, tional sum of $50,000 towards the expenses incurred in the survey and preliminary work in connection with the construction of the Kowloon-Canton railway. That amount was in supplement to the $25,000 which was granted by the Council in September last,

It is exceedingly satisfactory to know that all needless delays and lengthened pauses are being brushed aside by those responsible for, the preliminary work in connection with this great under laking; and it bears out our previously conceived opinion that Sir Matthew Nathan

By the instructions of the American Conal General, the party will carry revolvers con- spicuously worn in beits strapped to the waist. It is stated that anti-American feel ing is undoubtedly growing in intensity, "and, owing to the fact that the Chinese Imperial officials, if not actually encouraging the Is movement, are certainly not attempting to divert it into some other channel, another emeute would not come as a surprise to those on the spot. We understand that à mass meeting of Chinese in Honani has been advertised to take place shortly, and that the Chinese officials are taking no steps to pro hibit the meeting. There can be no question as to the main object of such a gathering; it is to stimulate the boycott of American goods and to extend the movement. The American Consul-General, it is believed, wrote to the Viceroy suggesting that the mass meeting should be prohibited, but apparently the Viceroy views the matter in a different light, for he has not sought in any way to repress the agitators. Only the other day an American lady in Canton was foully in- sulted by a gang of Chinese, and, so, far as
