REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL,

JURTHER DETAILS.

London, October 5. Noibing whatsoever has been received from Lisbon direct. It is supposed that all the brief | undated reports hitherto received came by wire less. Rumours have been frequent of late that the Republicans were on the point of acting. The Poringuese Republican leader Lulus, who is in Paris, declared that all the dictatorial work of Franco remained after the death of King Carton. The Republicans were persecuted on any pretext and every opposition was employed to stranglethe volcà of the people. King Manuel was a prisoner of the Clericals and was power. less over the political chaos. The Davy pro bably headed the movement and the army followed. Senhor Luiua predicts that the-Ro public will emerge triumphant,

CARRIAGES FOR CHINESE SECTION. The carriages constructed for the Kowloon Caston Railway by the Hongkong and Wham- poa Dock Co. bave been the object of admire tion by all who have travelled in them. In all eight of these have been hot for the British section, and it is a matter of gratification that the Kowloon shipbuilding yard has obtained the contract for a. lika number of these carriages for the Chinese Imperial sec tion of the Railway. So far two cartlages for second class passengers have been com plated for the Chinesa Government and they were this afternoon transported to Cautos. They were shipped ou board two lighters of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Go- grandson undergoing one and the same ex-down Co, Ld, which wore this afternoon mination. We may yol experience it that's young'examining commissioner, when rellev ing a griffin from his clotches, will say to him: "Now, my boy, just call your old father, that we may see whether be has learned his lesson well during the great year." Truly, a grotesque idea in Europan eyes, but everything of this sort seems to be possible, in the Customs now. When Sir Robert Hart was directing the affairs of the Customs, he now and then used to draw the reins tighter, as far as knowledge pf Chinese expired' from the assistants was Concerned, whilst at other times he let them go much looser again; Atill events, those men in the lower rask who did not possess a great knowledge of Chloase were gonerally promated pretty much in the same way as their comrades who had learsed mora. It was only in the highest ranks that a greater distinction was made, though it was often whispered that there had been even Commissioners with little proficiency in the difficult Chinese language.

But henceforward, no more leplency at all is to be shown in this respect, according to the, latest ruling by the inspectorate Generaf, Looking at it paraly tichoically, one cannot find fault with this order, as the lustructions say, clearly enough that every assistant must learn Chinese. But the ques ion atises: Is it very wise to enforce these inshuctions too.sa. vercly? The answer is: No, it is decidedly unwise Mony a man who' is a good office man, as long as he does not study Chinese very much, would impair his capacity for doing effice work if he earnestly tried to acquire this un- fortunate language, It is indeed very strange that they disregard this obvious thing at Peking" now, Sir Robert Hart with his koop knowledge of bpman bature acied differently, for he never caforced bis fastractions on this subject very -seriously. He had the reputation of being a strong man, and yet he did not use his strength bere very often. This looks a little like weak. ness, whilst is really it showed great wisdom, Little Chinese is required, as long as a man has not reached the post of Commissioner or Deputy Commissionėj. So why in the name of common sense should unt those assistants who are col strong at Chinese but do theit office work satisfactorily, be promoted to all posts barring only the above-named highest ones? Why should the lives of thany of them be made perfectly miserable by forcing them 1 learn a language which is repulsive to them? And what about thos who, for diber reasons, cannot expect to be made Commissioners, who ther they know Chinese or not? It is almost verging on cruelty to whip the later on to this stady, which will bring them no advantage-but may make them mad.

/

Yes, madness is the lurking danger for men who try to swallow too, much of this diet so uspalatable to the taste of most Westeroe's, The more they have to do it against their own inclination, and auraly through force from above, the more dangerous it is. Not a few assistants in the Custom rozlise this and are thereby deterred from 'crning too much Chi- pese. They know that otherwise they would after a few years not be the rame persons mee tally on before. Suck a price to be paid for a Commissionership is 100 dear for aty level headed man. A little story bearing on this subject may be mentioned here. Two chil. -'dren after the merciless fashion of their ago are reviling each other in various ways. At fast one of them shouts out at the other: "Every one says your father in quite mad, be cause be has gone in too much for the study of

Meanwhile the warships "Adanastor," "Sao Rafael" and " Alcantora " hoisted red flags and bombarded the city, directing their fi.es pecially at this Government offices around the Praca do Commercio and the Necesidades Palace. They did 'copsiderable damage to the buildings. The tower of the Palace and a church were demolished. Mioy spectators in the lower town ware killed dating the street firing.
