Sir Alfred Jones, chairman of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, has received a letter from Maj. Ross saying that Dr. Dutton, at Bathurst, has made a most important discovery of a new kind of parasite which causes a fever in human beings that closely resembles that pausing the fly diseases in horses in South Africa. Announcemeut is made that the Amerl-esn-Chiun Development Company has been organized on a firm basis, and that an official demand has been made on the Chinese government for the issuing of bonds against the construction of the Hankow-Canton Railway, which has been undertaken by the company.
