STORM WARNINGS AT PORT ARTHUR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY PRESS.
SIE, Most of the steamers plying along the Chinese boast are not yet aware that the storm warnings issued by the Zicawei Observatory have been for some time and will be henceforth regularly exhibited at Port Arthur. The signals
are hoisted on a mast which has been fixed on the top of the Hwanshiushan and are strictly in accordance with the well-known signal code. As this new extension of the China Coast mete orological service must be good news to the seafaring community. I trust you will kindly allow me to make it public through your widely read columns.-I am, Mr. Editor, yours truly,

THE UNREST AT PÄKING.

ing telegram from its Native corresponden we
There is an ominous rumour that the members of the Hanchun Banner organisations are dis- satisfied at Prince Ching's open partiality for the Manchu and Mongol Banner organisations, the latter being given the highest posts, while the former are generally snubbed. The Em- in the palace are on the point press Dowager's armour-plated three rooms
of co tion. It is conjectured that they are meant comple. either to imprison some important personag as a refuge for herself in case of an attack on the Palace, or for the purpose of securing her bullion and treasures. Four hundred magazine rifles, with accoutrements, were received at the Palace late the other night-stated to have been requisitioned from the Peking Field Fores, The rifles came in large trunks ordinarily used by theatrical troupes to hold dress and para- phernalia, while the cartridges were packed bags. Much secrecy was observed in the mat Liter.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MOVE- MENTS AT PEKING.
We have already noted the report that Hang-ohang has been reinstated as Viceroy of Chibli. The following items from the N. C. Daily News throw further light on the move- ments in progress in the North. The Peking telegrams are from our contemporary's Native correspondent:
Peking, 23rd August.

It is explained that the Hanchun are descen- dants of the Chinese officers and troops who joined the Manchus in taking Pekin g. They are divided into eight Banners like the Manchus, who, however, look down upon them even to the present day. Apparently the leaders of the Hanchun have thought the present a good opportunity to ask for their rights.
KANG YI AND THE PEKING C.INIS.
The N. C. Daily News publishes the follow-
A decree was wired yesterday to Shanghai commanding Kang Yi to start at once for Can- ton where he is to raise more funds for the Empress Dowager's army.
The rivalry for power between Prince Ching and Genera lissimo Jung Lụ, which since Prince Kung's death has so far been a veiled one, has now approached to such a head that both sides have begun to secretly prepare for actual con- fliot. The rival factions are both numerous and strong and as far as regards apparenting telegram dated Peking, 30th August ;— power and influence pretty equally balan- ced. Prince Ching commands the Peking Field Force, now raised to 30,000 men. and other Banner Corps, amounting to another 30,000 men, all Manchas. Jung Lu commands the Wawei Army organised and consolidated by him after the coup d'état. The Army is divided into five grand corps, the middle corps being under Jung Lu's special command, the other four being the troops of Generals Sung Ching, Tung Fa-hsiang, Nieh Sze-ohong, 17 13.8 and Yuan Shih-kai, aggregating over 80,000
men, all Chinese.
Hence if actual fighting commencOS it will finally merge into a race war between Chinese and Manchus, The Empress Dowager remains as inscrutable as ever, showing no marked preference for either of the rival, But those who know seem to think that her policy inclines towards that of Prince Ching. The arming of her ennuch guard is the only indication that she expects bloodshed in the near future. It is understood that Yang Lu and Kang Yi are far from being on good terms.

against Prince Ching.
Changhai, 28th August. A Peking dispatch states that in anticipation of active conflict between their troops and partisans, both Prince Ching and Jung Lu are arming their men with repeating rifles of the newest pattern and that neither of them goes about now-a-days unless surrounded by a well- armed bodyguard of several hundred men. All old-time firearms are being rapidly discarded by both Chinese and Manchu regiments, the only excertion being the Kansu troops under Gen-
Our contemporary appends the following note-This looks like a master move of Jung- Lu in his rivalry game with Prince Ching, as it separates Kang Yi from the latter another · 900 or so miles and will keep him from mis- chief in the Liangkiang, where Jung Lu, in his character of leader of the Chinese Party, has inany friends, and whence the majority of his troops is drawn. It is stated that Kang Yi expects, to leave for the South by the French mail on Monday, 4th September.
The following paragraph also appears in the same journal According to Chinese officials fresh from Peking it appears that Kang Ti previous to the open rupture between Prince Ching and Jung Lu, had made himself obnoxious: by his narrow conservatism to both these wret Ministers of the Empress Dowager, and be tween them they succeeded in getting. Kang- Yi transferred to the South where he could not interfere with their designs. Of late, however, Prince Ching has been trying to win Kang XI to his side, and getting wind of this Jung Lu has exercised his whole strength to frustrated his great rival, owing to the fact that Kang Yi i has a powerful party of his own among the ultra-conservatives in Peking, chief among whom o are the Grand Secretary Hsu Tung and Chao Shu-ohiao, formerly Governor of Kiangau and now President of the Board of Punishments, Jan
