he was not fit to hold his position, or words to that effect, and there the matter stands. It is not stated whether the en gineer replied with n', fi quoque, but if Chinese engineers resemble their western prototypes he most certainly gave the director a clear and definite view of his opinion of directors in general and that director in particular, probably adding a few choice references to the director's ancestors and per- sonal history. Of course, such contumacy on the part of a nete servant of the com pany is to be highly rebated, but it is a well known fact that men who have acquired a technical education have a pro found and scarcely disguised content for -untechnical humanity. In other respects they may be the most kenial and charming of people, hur in matters concerning their own profession they will not tolerate arge- ment or suggestion. The engineer of the Canton-Hankow railway had, no doubt, the last word in that encounter, but the director has the final say in the matter when it is brought under the notice of the board. Apparently the vernacular papers attach some importance to the incident, for it has been given prominence in the Press and seems likely to lead to fresh developments..

ARRIVAL OF HONGKONG TEAM-
AT BHANGHAI.
What may be described as a matter of supreme public interest was discussed at a meeting of the Kulangsu Municipal Council, Amoy, held so far back as the 11th Septem-duty ber. Some misguided person in that united and bucolic community has lately had the temerity to importa motor bicycle and disport himself along the highways and byways of the Municipality. It was not alleged that the throbbing and clatter of the motor, had disturbed the somnolent tendencies of the inhabitants or that the fact of any one being in a position to import the new-fangled machine had aroused jealousy where all was formerly concord, but it was claimed that the fact of a motor bicycle whizzing at untold speed along the bypaths was a menace and danger to the residents. In fact, the mechanical device was a thoringh neisance and should be suppressed without further delay, for there was no telling whether oiliers might not so far lose their equilibrium in a burst of modernity as to invest their savings. in a similar contrivance. Here was a subject of sufficient importance to receive the profound consideration of the tribunes of. Kujangsa. Should they nip this unwanted and amazing effusion of spirit and in dependence in the bud, and order the motor bicycle to be confiscated while the miscráble owner should be punished the prisoner of Chillon, or should they exercise that magnanimity for which Kulangau is so justly famed? There was no.precedent on which to act; the by- laws made no reference to "puffing billies" or flying Dutchmen " or the like.. Matter for thought indeed. But the Councillors were equal to the occasion and they drew up a resolution which was deprecatory, hortstory and appreciative all at ow and the same time, It was a resolution which

Mr. Barlow applied for leave to amend the statement of claim as his client had made a mistake in the particulars.

Mr. Otto Kong Sing: No, my Lord, I do not object to amendment, whatever, so my
