AN IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT DECISION.
We have been courteously favoured with a communication which reads as follows: Among articles and letters in your paper which testify to the great interest taken in the indian opium trade, it will be of interest to you je know that, the Indian Government have de cided that the quantities to; he sold at the monthly public sales will be reduced by 200 chests of Paton and of Benares which is less than at present. The total sales for the year will therefore, be 48,000, instead of 57,800 chests, formerly sold.
THE IMPORTATION OF ARMS
INTO CHINA.
The following rules for the prevention of the smuggling of fears into China by revolu- tionary associations, or members of secret organizations have been passed by the Manchu General Tich Liang in his capacity as the Controller-General of the F M. Customis, 'and issued by the aspector-General (Sir R. Hart) for enforcement by the Commissioners of Cus toms at the various Treaty Ports :-
1-If the Chiness Coverament or any of the Viceroys or Governors want to purchase arms from foreign countries, the Commissioner of -the Customs at the port of entry must be noti
fied by the Customs Tantai beforehand, other- wise they cannot pass through the I. M. C. at any of the Treaty Ports for China. "
2-No foreign firm in China is allowed to import more than six fles and 12,500 cartrid. ges, at a time. Full particulars should be re- corded in the book of his firm in case the arms are sold to others for future investigation por. poses by the Commissioner of the Customs at that port if necessary.
3-The quantity of arms imported into China by any of the foreign firms as examples for the Chinese Government is not to exceed two with ice cartridges, while to eign merchants and other respectable subjects of the Treaty powers are only permitted to import one rifle and sco cartridges each for self-protecting put posts. In all cases the importer must first furnish full particulars to the Commissioner of the Customs at the port of entry prior to the landing of these arms. In the case of firms the importer or manager of the firm is not permitted to sell the arms to other for other purposes,
4-All, descriptions of arms imported into Chion from foreign countries must pay five per cent, Customs duty at the port of entry, G. D. News.
CHINĄ PAMINE,
AMERICAN AID DECLINED.
·
The S. C. D. Journal says :-On the recom- mendation of T. E. Sheng Kung-pao an! Lu Hai-huan, of Shanghai, the offer of the U.S. Government and people to despatch shiploads of flour and other foodstuff to China for the relief of the famine-stricken people in the dis tricts of Hsuchow, Huaian and Usichow bas, been, politely refused by the Peking Govern ment, on the ground that the Chinese Authori- ties in Kiangsu find no difficulty in purchasing cereals and beans fram the neighbouring pro vinces for relief purposes, if funda permit, that is as much as to say, the Peking Authorities shall be more than glad to receive monetary con. tributions from the U. S. Government and peo- pla instead of shuploads of foodstuffs, with a view to saving trouble and expense.
The Chinese Minister to Washington has been instructed to formally communicate this iden to the U. S. Secretary of State, and thank President Roosevelt for this charitable move ment for the poor famine sufferers.
THE WEATHER.
The following report is from Mr. F. G. Figg. First Assistant of the Hongkong Observatory:

pean firemann on the scene. When he arrived on the scene the entire building was on fire and flames were bursting out of every window. At this stage the Coroner called Mr. Hag. gard, an engineer "from the Public Works Department, who submitted a plan of the building to the Court.
Mr. Hazeland informed the jury that the reason why the inmates of this house were unable to excape was because the bamboo ladder which led to the road of the house took fire and shut out all means of escape. Mr. Clarke, one of the jurymen, asked Mr. Haggard if, for instance, the ladder leading to the roof of this house was made of ordinary wood, instead of bamboo, would it have taken fire so easily. Mr. Jaggard replied that it was a question of time. He said that the wood used to make Stairways in Chinese houses is usually of so common afnature that he doubted whether any Chinese staircase would last long in any fire,
Juryman Clarke, who said he had had previous experience with fires, declared that he was in favour of a moveable ladder, as it was in this case, than one which is a fixture, and liable to take fire quicker than the other., Iron ladders, in his opinion, would not have been any better for with the fire nearby it would get hot and would be impossible to mount.
The Coroner thanked Mr. Clarke for his opinions and said he was pleased to have had a person on the jury who had some experience of fires.
Sergeant Fenton, who is A foreman in the fire brigade, continuing, said that after the fire six charred bodies were found. He also spoke of a few other unfortunates who had to be taken to hospital suffering from burns.
Dr. Heanley, medical officer of the public mortuaries, was the next witness called, and he referred to examining several bodies that were brought to the mortuary, after the fire: He was of opinion that death was due to suffoca. tion and extensive hands,

question of pirates being.ou board the „Sainam was the fact that a few minutes prior to the Sarnam coming in sight, off 'Tai-ping-shah, one of the goaboss noticed a small junk, apparently making hurried attempts to get ashore near the river bank. The movements were suspicions, and a boat's crew was sent to intercept the junk, and this was accordingly done. The junk contained some 10 men, and were identified by some of the Chinese gunboat's crow'as being some of the most notorious cut-throats and pirates on the West River. These men wäre. immediately, put under arrest, and it was pre- sumed that they were part of the gang who had just pirated the Sainam and had got away. A sharp look-out was then kept for the Sairam and her approach, resulted in the boarding of the russel by the crews of the gunboats, when it was learns that the Sainam was not pirated and that nothing suspicious had occurred dur ing the trip. So ended the great piracy of the Saina. Various theories are advanced by various people, for the above in

The entry includes also some rather heavy damage caused by the typhoon last summer, which cost us, between Tls. 3,000 and Tis. 4,000. Fire Insurance, as well as the arges for lighting and water, naturally increase as our buildings extend. You will notice that the credit for interest account shows smaller fi gures. It accounts for the reduced total of Working account and is attributable to the fact that we have used more of our funds in new buildings and in the purchase of new pro- pertes, which though non-productive for the moment, will be remunerative in the near future. We have invested during the year Tia 38,500 in new buildings, Tis. 195,900 in va cant land, and Tis, 250,100 on land and build ings together a total of Tis. 807,600-all of which should do well. On the other we have sold three properties giving satisfactory profits which are credited in Profil and Loss account.

The working account shows n decrease in charges owing to there being no passage monies paid as was the case during the precedcident, but the ing year. Salaries for the staff are rather more, is that the pirates bad worked up this also legal expenses, due in great measure to hoax to see if the foreign gunboats on the work connected with the new ipsue of capital. river were on the alert.

It is to be hoped that these rumours will cease, as after a while they get on one's nerves, and it is also devoutly to be hoped that the originator of such ru mours will be caught and suitably punished.
A Chinese gentleman, who was asleep in one of the upper floors when the fire broke out on the ground flour, told a story of how he rescued six persons from being burnt to death, which was proved by, a glance at his hands. Two fingers of each hand were in bandages, the result of severe burns. He said, in telling' of what he had gone through during the fire, that on the morning in question he was awakened by the sounds of a police whistle heing violently blown in the street. H. jumped out of bed and found the room full of smoke. Not much time was lost before the flames wie through the floor, and he started to leave the burning building. The main stairway leading to the street was on fire. There was a panic, he continued. The inmates of the floors below-he lived on, the top for-all made a rush for witness's flat to escape by the roof. Several succeeded in doing so, whilst others met their death ascending the 1.dder. In a very few minutes the trap-door was blocked by, these fleeing persons.

A question of fire escapes in Chinese build-and stand at Tis. 1,821,801.42, being about Tis ings was then brought up. The witnein said that the ladder--or what was left of it--was his property. He had occupied two houses in this Colony and in each case he had to buy his own ladder, no ladder being supplied. by the landlord which could be used in cases of fire to escapá by the roof. The Coroner could not get from the witness whether this was the general custom among the Chinese, so another person was summoned to speak on the subject. He said that in his opinion he did not think ladders were supplied by the landlord. If there was no ladder then he believed it remained for the tenant to, get one at his own expoate or go without any.
That concluded the evidence in the inquiry, after which Juryman Clarke read out part of a section of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinancein reference to fire escapas in Chinese (enements. He said that according to the Ordinance he would think that every house was supplied with fire escapes. He would suggest that an Ordinance be passed making it compulsory for every building to have a stairway leading to the roof and made of hardwood which would take a longer time to burn. The wood-China fir-be stated, that is used by
