THE SERVANT QUESTION.

The coolie servant question is quite
as vital in Hongkong as 1t Is in Homo
lulu and IL presents many of the same
phases, n fact which the reading of
this extract from an article in the
Hongkong Weekly Press sufficiently
attests:
Unfortunately. the servants are now un-
licensed; and, In consequence, play fast
and loose with the many Immediate adj
vantages this fact gives them. Native do
mestics were never so troublesome and
unsatisfactory as at the present moment
The servant question is as Vexed and
acute In Hongkong as IL Is In London. The
convenience of these menials has TO be
considered to such an extent NOWADAYS
that II Is becoming a serious question in
many households of doing with a smaller
number OF them. They are insolent and
supercilious. II the slightest objection Is
made TO their mode OF work. they at once
threaten TO leave at the end of the month,
and In some cases will go away ct a mo-
ments notice: or. after some disagreeable
incident, they will allege a dead grand
mother, demand, and in many cases OBJ
tain, wages up to date on condition of
supplying a substitute. who Is oftener
than not bogus. and who, by a judicious
smashing of valuable crockery. or by one
OF the thousand and one methods of tor

A glimpse of characteristic Russian
dupliclty is given by returning Picking
refugees. 1t seems that the Russians
undertook to steal a march on their al
lies and get into Picking first, but fail
ing that they managed to get the news
agencies to change the date of the cap
ture of the city so as to deprive the
Americans and English, who were
there first, of the honors they had won.
The incident Is full of Russian trickery
and shows how difficult 1t Is for the
world to deal with the Cars empire on
any basis of confidence.
