UNREST IN CANTON. MR, LAI KWAI PUI REFUSES TO LEAVE PRISON,

[From a Correspondent.]

Canton, 20th January. The excessive demands of the New Year on business generally has to some extent diverted attention frain the questing of fresh taxation to meet the requirements of the Canton Bankow railway.

I understand that Viceroy Shuni has received a reply, by wire, from Peking with reference to the imprisonment of Tautai Lai Kwai Poi for opposing the Viceroy's scheme of taxation.

Mr. Lai-Kwai Pui, however, is still confined io the police station at the back of the Shameen, having remained there since the night of his 'arrest.

It will be reisembered that six years ago, the Hon Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockbait, when he distributed the prizes here, said that Queen's College ought to have a gymnasium. In 1901 affairs had reached en advanced a stage that

In conclusion, the headmaster said-Uwing to a break down in the machinery of the ship: our school prizes will not be here for a week ar two. The winners of prizes will receive eard, on which thenames of the books allotted to them will be written and they will receive their prizes at the beginning of next term. It is just six weeks since your Excellency visited every class and inspected the work of the school and is 24 classes, and after you had been continu ing your examination for about four hours you exhibited no signs of fatigue, and it become. necessary to inform you that it was close on half past one. I can only say that the warmth of the welcome you received on that eccasion is only equalled by the warmth of our welcome on this occasion, and I have now to ask your Excellency to distribute the prizes-(load applause)

His Excellency then distributed the prizes. THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. His Excellency then addressed the gathering And said

Ladies and Gentlemen-To assist me in coming to a conclusion as to the value of the work done at Queen's College during the year 1905, I have had not only the Head Master's report which has just been read to us but also the report on the independent examination held in the middle of the year at the request of the Governing Body, and further the advantage December of every class and division of the of the personal inspection I made on the gth school, Jam satisfied that there has been pre-

THE CAPACITY OF CHINESE BOY'S. The great difficulties that have to be over- come at Queen's College, as at the other Anglo- Chinese Schools of Hongkong, are that a large proportion of the boys' time is necessarily taken instruction in all other subjects has to be given up by the study of a foreign language, and that in that language. It is of course out of the question that in a British School of this char. acter the study of English should not have the

But si place, and if other subjects were not taught in English it would not be passible you will realize the difficulties thereby in volved to Chinese boys if you consider what would be the position of an English boy at a school where not only he was at once pul to learn Greek but where all instruction was master English reading, writing, and compori reason of the vastly greater difficulty of reading tion. Even then the parallel is incomplete by

speaks volumes not only for the memory bus and writing in Chinese than in English. It also for the mental capacity of Chinese boys that in

in spite of such disadvantages they can as they do in the Oxford Local Examinations compete with English boys in English subjects

Viceroy Shum does not seem inclined in press the charges against Mr. Lai. Indeed, the police would gladly get rid of Mr. Lai if they could. They have pressed him to leave, hut his answer was-" I refuse to leave the police station except in the same manner as I entered it." All the officials, from the Provincial Trea. surer downwards have called upon him at the police station.. Mr. Lai received them asap standard, class V, og instead of 57, is evid-given in Greek and he had at the same time to friends; he refused to recognise them in their official capacity.

The Provincial Judge invited him to lodge at his yamen, where he could await the develop ment of the case. To that offer, Mr. Lai gave a direct refusal-unlest he was dragged through the streets by policemen is happened when he

was arrested,

The 7 guilds called on Mr. Lai in a body to express their sympathy with him. The gentry of Canton have also visited him in prison.

So far no reply has been received from Peking in answer to the telegrams sont by the merchants and gentry. The bitteress feelings prevail against the Viceroy. No one can guess what may happen after the Chinese New Year. The telegraphs are still closed to outsiders who wish to send telegrams to Peking; consequent ly telegramu are being despatched via Hong kong.

Judging from the multitude of rumours which are flying about, the excitement seems to be growing on every hand. Inflammatory sheets are being sent out. A very dangerous situation exista,

Dr. Bateson Wright thanked His Excellency for his instructive and stimulating address, and concurred in the remarks referring to the de padure of Mr. May.
