THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1888.
THE RIOT AT, WUHU,
The correspondent of our Shanghai morning contemporary, writing on the 23rd ults, gives the following account of the attack made on the officers of the steamship Pekin by Chinese robbers at that port, some particulars of which, have already appeared in our columns-
A thief was caught on the steamship Pekin yesterday morning, and as this was only one of many cases of a similar nature, the Captain of the steamer decided to take the thi: ft Shanghai, and have him tried at the Mixed Court." He accordingly locked the man up on board. The confederates of the thief, forming a very powerful body, became so incensed at this that, when the quartermaster of the Pekin was sent on shore to clear the vessel, he was attacked by some of the band and had to beat a retreat to his vessel. The second officer was then sent in a ship's boat to avoid the strong current he hugged the shore. when the gig was suddenly drawn in by long boat-hooks and the officer attacked with swords and daggers by a large crowd. This occurred about 8.30 am. at a spot just below the new Custom House. The officer fought most pluckily and succeeded in wrenching a cutlass away from one of his opponents and with it keeping the crowd back, but not before he had received two deep cuts across the forehead."

NOTICE.
Kelung, 27th August, 1888, The Chinese corvettes Chih-yuen and Chine yen, the former vessel Blying the flag of Admiral Cing, arrived at Kelong from Wei-hai-wel on the 26th instant. The probable destination of these vessels is Pi Lam, on the South-east coast of Formosa, where hostilities have recently taken place between the troops and aborigines, The Chinese transport Fu-pe and Governor Liu Ling-chuen's newly acquired steamer Cass have already landed troops at the disturbed locality. The arrival of this powerful detachment of the Peyang Squadron augurs well for Formoan. It appears to indicate a reconciliation between the powerful Northern Viceroy (Li Hung-chang), and the intelligent, energetic and progressive Southern Governor. The men of the Peyang Squadron are well drilled, well disciplined, and'
Fortunately the fight was witnessed by Mr. well armed. If they are sent to suppress a Gregson, from Messis, Jardine, Matheson & revoh, the chances are that, in that particular Co.'s hulk, and he and the Customs officer on part of the island where they are called upon to duty on board the hulk, put off in a sampan suppress it, a second revolt will never occur. to the officer's assistance, anil it was, no doubt, This is a different state of affairs compared with greatly owing to their arrival that the crowd number of years ago, when the " Japs actually gave way.

been made of people living near the seen of the attack. A gunboat was at once applied for by, the Consul and that official has, in every way done all that could be dung and acted in a mast chergetic manner throughout, and. it is to be hoped that this; coupled with the arrival of a gunboat, will have, the effect of driving out of this port a band of the most determined robbers, which is a well-organised secret society feared by officials and people.
It seems incredible that a foreigner couring on shore in a steamer's gig should be actually, in broad daylight, dragged to the bank of the river and half murdered. The agents of the different steam-boat companies can by united and deter-game is carnestly requested. mined action greatly assist the Consul in his endeavours to bring all offenders before the proper authorities for punishment, and if success attends their efforts they will have gained the gratitude of not only foreign ipsidents but, to a far greater exten, of the enormous number of peaceful citizens of this empire travelling to and fro daily..
HONAN:
Mr. J. J. Coulthard writes from Chou-kia-k'eo, Honan, on August 9th as follows:
If the inltabitants of this district have never had occasion before to: praise God from whom all blessings flow, they inost certainly have now. We have been saved most opportunely from what was threatening to prove a calamity-the want of good water.
This summer has been exceptionally hot for Honan the torrid days have been succeeded by almost equally sultry nights for a considerable the and there seemed to be' no relief from the oppressing atmosphere. Night after night we retired to bed with the thermometer indicating a heat of 95 deg, and rose in the morning anything but refreshed to find that the mercury had only fallen 2 or at the inost 3 degrees. Upon one occasion after an intensely hot day the thurmometer indicated a bent of 95 deg, at the coolest part of the night or rather morning, when sleep becomes possible.
It has occurred to me that this continuous and excessive heat is caused by the present state of the surrounding country E. and N.E., which is one vast expanse of water: this water is heated by the scorching rays of the sun by day and gives off the heat hy night. In former years the heat seldom if over exceeded 98 deg. by day, while the nights were comparatively cool.
|
And yet this incessant heat so trying to the human frame is 'nothing to be compared with the other great danger which threatened to deny us one of the essentials to existence-water.
Here as clacwhere in China the public obtain their drinking water from the river since the wells are more or less contaminated with sewage and unfit for drinking. One day last week the tea tasted very queer as if mouldy: we thought it must be the fault of the teapot which was imme- diately changed, but with no difference in the mildew flavour. Supposing the kettles must be the cause they were carefully scoured under foreign uperintendence; still the flavour remained, Then the water k'angs were examined, and the water. The water-camier was ordered to bring the water from different parts of the river, still there was no change for the better. We could do no more to find out the cause of the unplea santness. Yesterday, however, we heard that a proclamation had been issued by the Mandarins condemning the river water and advising the people to use well water. This official mandate greatly relieved our minds for though it did not profess to make bud water good, it assured us that the water was really bad and the flavour not imaginary. The river water at once became the principal topic of conversation, and many are the conjectures as to the cause of the unpala- tableness. Some say that the dead bodies of" those recently drowned at the breach have impregnated the water. You will have heard long since that the sudden rise of the waters of the Yellow River carried away a large portion (some saya) of the newly erected embank ment and a number of workmen were drowned.] Some attribute, the cause' to the arrival of a large number of Government rice boats which have on board immense cargoes of musty rice. In addition to this, the river since the rise has scarcely any flow, especially at the confluence of the Ing and She rivers where the water eddies rouid and round without any per eptible current downstream. As the river receives all the drainage and garbage of the city the water paitakes of the nature more of a ditch than of a Rowing river. Thirty below the current is very swif there the water from the Yellow River rejoins this (Ing) river after taking a short cut across the land from the point, north of this, where they paned company, The river water having been condemned by the authorities, we resorted to well water. Ala, 1 we jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. The well-water though it smacked not of mildew was very unpalatable. Moreover oke's mind was prejudiced against it and became haunted with medical reports of bad well-water. An experiment with Condy's fluid did not remove these fears but only strengthened us in the belief that the water was totally unfit for drinking purposen. Moreover milk (condensed) boiled with well water curdled as if mixed with tennet. We were at our wits ends. Water cooked in any form was most unpleasant and how to relieve our thirst became a difficult if not an insoluble problem. Thanks be to God, timely deliverance has come. The sky which has witheld rain for so long until the ground is to parched that scarcity of food was almost anticipated is now "sending down copious showers of rain. I cannot express to you our feelings of gratitude for such a mercy and now we are enjoying an abundant supply of fresh and good water. How enjoyable a cup of tea is none but those who bave passed through a similar experience to ourselves can fully realise. To be able to drink without fear and without a nauseous or unwhole, some flavour is most delightful. None can fully tell what a blessing such a downfall of rain means to us not only to the scorched land but to the 150,000 or 300,cho souls who cannot dispense with such an casential to existence as water. From how much sickness and mortality we have been saved but few have any conception, Imagine the distress that would exist throughout central China should the Yangtae be affected in the same way as this river. Can we be too grateful for Good water? One looks forward to the day when we may have the same privilege as you have, in Shanghai, and possess, good waterwork

CHUNGKING,
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
14th August, 1888. Time was when Szechuen had a reputation for quiet and peaceable people well-governed by able and energetic oficials. The nots of two years ago seemed to disprove this, and i am sorry to be called on to relate more in the same line. A short time ago word came down from Ta-tsu Hsica, about 100 miles north-west of here, that a Catholic place of worship had been destroyed. What seem to be reliable accounts of the affair have just come to hand, and I hasten to lay them before your readers,

Within the borders of the district of Tatsu SEVERAL is the large village of Sung Shui Chen. During the riot two years ago the Catholic buildings were destroyed. This year their place of worship was being rebuilt and was almost under cover when an unfortunate accident occurred. A workman either fell from the build- ing, or was injured by-something falling on him. The accounts do not agree. He was kept on the place and given medical attendance, but, in spite of all that could be done, died after a few days. 20,000 cash were given his family to pay the expense of the funeral, but a younger brother spent the meney and bought no coffin. It happened about that time that two guilds held their meetings there on the same day, and this young brother circulated rumours among the the crowd to the effect that the dead man had been killed and his eyes taken out. Thereupon the crowd burst into the place, and there lay the corpse as evidence of the truth of the story.
The building in process af erection, and over twenty others belonging to private Catholics were destroyed-some say burned. The above is the story which comes through the Catholics here. The affair occurred on July 27th, No foreigners lived there, it is said. As soon as the news came a Welyuan was sent to inquire into the matter, and the Chungking Taotai is having proclamations printed for wide distribu- tion, calling attention to the privilege to build given the foreigners by treaty, and warning people against the repetition of like attempts. The Ta-isu Magistrate desires that the matter shall not go before the Emperor, and promises compensation for losses. As the riot occurred in the country it is not likely he could have prevented it.

For a fortnight all was quiet, when suddenly nearly a score of beg. gars came in a body and took up their quarters in | the "shop.". The neat day as many more came. An appeal was made to the magistrate who sent runners to clear the place, but no sooner were the runners gone than the beggars returned to their former quarters Evidently the "beggars had come to town," and some to stay. It seems the literati had hired them, at 37 cash each per day. They said, "You have come here to good deeds, now here is your opportunity." The afflicted missionary was having a very striking illustration of the text, "The poor ye have always with you!" He has recently come up to Chung- king and reported the matter to the Consular Resident, who laid it before the Tactal, who promises that the matter shall be attended to. The newly appointed Magistrate for Wan-haler happens to be stopping here on his way down from Chents, and will doubtless leave with due instructions.
