MORE ABOUT THE LOSS OF THE "ANGLO- INDIA."
THREE MEN BEHEADED..
KIND BEHAVIOUR OF THE COVERNOR.
Tamsui, atst January, 1889. We have had some very rough weather here lately from the north-east, and rain has fallen heavily for the past twelve days. Our rainy season has set in a month earlier this year than usually. The strong north-east gales we have lately had raised a very high sea on the bar, which has kept the Feima weather-bound since the 17th. She arrived from your part with cargo of 4,000 cases of kerosene oil. She cleared on the 17th for Shanghai, tis Kelung, but it is
doubtful if she will cross the bar to day or to morrow, as there is still a very fresh wind blow- ing, and a high sex running.
The Cockchafer did not go to the wreck of the Anglo-India as she intended to do, and as I wrote in my last, it having suddenly com- menced to blow a N.E.galo, so she was unable to proceed out. Capt. Maxwell and Mr. Bourne, our Acting British Consul, went overland to the wreck on the 18th. The ship is buried down to the copper, and most of the deck out of her, and her two iron masts are lying across the ship The beach near the wreck is covered with wreckage for over a mile,
There is no news whatever of the fourteen missing men belonging to the vessel, and if they have not been picked up by a passing vessel, there are fears that they foundered in the gale of the 7th ins, and all drowned. It will be very sad if such is their fate, for it seems almost certain that their lives will have been.aacrificed on account of their being afraid to land, seeing the rough way their shipmates were used by the natives on landing, who stripped them of their clothing, only leaving just enough to cover their nakedness.. It is even stated by the crew that the natives were not satisfied with this, but that they actually stoned them. The Governor has sent several hundred soldiers down to the village nearest the wreck and he has beheaded three of the plunderers, and their heads have been stuck on poles on the beach as a warning to others, but it is very doubtful if they were the guilty ones, for no doubt they ran away as soon as the soldiers made their appearance. I have also to inform you that the Governor when he heard that nine poor shipwrecked mariners, who were lodged at the British Consulate, had lost
everything, sent down $500 to be distributed amongst them, but probably he will have to pay considerably more than this for the looting and tburning of the ship. The wreck will be sold by public auction at the end of this week, and will, very likely, prove a good investment for some native, as she will not fetch a very high figure, therefore will turn 'out-a handsome profit to the buyer. If the bailast is thrown out she can at high water be floated high and dry on the beach, when the old iron and copper can easily be

law, or even with open reviling, a more daring methoil was adopted. A mob was formed under she leadership of the gentry, and remembering Their success in previous years against an American missionary they boldly entered the house, dragged the Englishman from bis room,, and amid boots and derisions the gentlemen of silks and satins trampled on their foe, hauled him around the court, and then Jocked him. up, while others seized his worldly effects, and either smashed them or appropriated them for
private use and as a pleasing memorial. Werd
having gone into the city, two of the American missionarice at once hastened to inform the. Distlet Magistrate, who despatched some anldiers
A few ragamuffins to the scene and arre
han, accompanied Later on the injured. En by one of the Americans, and an interview at the Tantai's yamen, in which not only was he favoured with words of cens Ixtion, but in which he learned that his house must be sealed up till the matter had been investigated. Considering the glaring outrage-more glaring than any hitherto committed the English and American mis. sionaries present in the city, consisting of the
Anglican Mission, the English Baptist Mission and the American Presbyterian Mission, united in strong presentation to the British and American Ministers of all the outrages that have occurred the last few years not only in the capital but in other cities.
This last occurence proves more plainly that the real responsibility rests with the Governor Chang Yao. He has failed to give justice to the lawful petitions of the missionaries, and has defiantly ignored the action of the Legations and the Tsung-li Yamen. That he is reported to be on familiar terms with the Seventh Prince is a matter of congratulation, if he would only show some of his power in suppressing riots and protecting the peaceable and well-disposel. We wait to see which Legation will be the first to bring about a more commendable mode of management of foreign affairs among the officials of Shantung..
An American missionary who has visited the city of Chi-ning Chow reports that the property purchased by the Roman Catholics and which led to a riot is still sealed up, while the, German Bishop continues to agitate his cause. The Protestant missionary on referring to the local official the question of reating property as in the last ten or a dozen years, secured permission so to do along with the promise of protection, Owing to the excited state of feeling existing" against foreigners, be contented himself with a mere stay at an inn in order to avoid further trouble and opposition.
It appears that the south-western part of the province is largely exempt from the famishing condition of the central or northern parts and especially of a portion of Honan.
There has lately fallen a large amount of snow,
which has cheered the people by its promise of good spring crop. Such indeed is to be hoped for by us all.-N. C. Daily News.

of frost. The cold is only felt when strong N.E. wind prevails, to face which on horseback is almost impossible, as the least moisture on the skin will cause frost bite. Added to the unpleasantly cold wind, one has to submit to a still more uncomfortable breathing of dusty atmosphere, and the cry now is for snow, which judging from the arrival of myriads of Sand- groase, must have fallen plentifully in Mongolia. The Taotai has some fear that supplies of grain and other produce will fall short, as carters have been plundered on the roads by the poor starving people and do not care to risk iravelling without protection. Parties of soldiers have therefore been detailed along the principal road to keep off marauders. This would be all right if the remedy be not worse than the disease. One's experience anent the operations of braves is not quite satis- factory, but we trust it will be found so now, as at present the arrivals of carts are far less than in previous years, Perhaps it would be a better speculation to lay out In food for the poor starvelings the expenses of the soldiers, for the longer the winter Insts the greater will be the distress, which claims its victims daily,

After an interval of 15 minutes, the gem of the evening was offered to an audience only. too ready to enjoy the good things arranged for its pleasure Uncle's Will" calls upon the characters of the plece for great nicety of acting. The plot is easy enoug's to underland. Two young people of loving temperaments have the condition of £50,000 attached to their marrying. They are really in love, but the money which will go to Mr. Barker, the guardian, if they decline to marry, interferes very much with the naturally sweet disposition of both lady and gentleman. It all ends well and the money does not go either to Mr. Barker, or to the dig We have only to say that it would be invidious. to single out for praise any one, of the three actors but we must add that Mr. Howard
This would be a handsome, sum indeed if they could only make sure of it. It looks very plausible on paper, but the thing is to do it.
