mission for the King Corea.
A good deal of interest was evinced in the arsival of the steamer Higo Maru, for rumour had it that Admiral Schufeldt was coming in ber here as successor to Denny. He has not yet arrived, but it may be considered as quite within the range of possibility that the Judge has agreed
to some such arrangement.
It is supposed in some quarters that the Corean Crown Prince (only child of the King) left here two days ago on the steamer Signal a German vessel under charter of the Government. If the Prince leaves (or has left) here it is reasonable to conjecture that he will visit His Highness Min Yong Ik in Hongkong, and thence proce d ip Russia with a view to returning the compliment of Prince Alexander Michaelovitch's late visit to his father.
Mr. Commissioner J. F. Schoenicke, who was lately circted with two others to a seat in the Municipal Council of Chemulpo, has, I hear, resigned in consequence of the action taken by H. I. G. M.

Liao Show-fung, Provincial Judge at Hang- chow, the capital of Chekiang, is having the architecture of his Yamén completely altered, the fungshui, or geomantic aspect of it, having having proved so unlucky in the time of his predecessor, Judge Su. It won't look the same place as it did in Su's time, as high walls are be lowered, and low ones raised bigher, and the outer wall is to be raised four feet allround.
The Viceroy of Fukien and Chekiang has discharged a considerable number of Hupeh soldier from the camp at Limpoo with a view
to economising the Government money. Those discharged soldiers who were not not called upon to return their uniforme bave had the characters indicating the regiment, etc., reinovedfrom them. On 11th March the Thotai Yang proceeded down the river from Foochow to Mamoy on this business, and shipped the soldiers off to their own province again.
The tilin at the Trung-li Yamén on the 7th March to the Foreign Ministers at Peking and the presentation of the Imperial gifts of jade sceptres and silk came off with great success. Prince Ching took the principal part among the hosts, among whom was the Marquis Tseng, formerly Chinese Minister in London, the leading, part among the guestsbeing taken by the German Minister, Mr. von Brandt, as the Minister who fias readed longest at Peking; and some excellent speeches were made on both sides,
A certain high official is said to have addressed secret memorial to His Majesty recommending that, to prevent wasting the public funds, the Nan Ha Palace should be abandoned, and that the smal railway train, steamer, and electric light apparatus should be sent to where they came from or returned to the Viceroy Li Hung chang; also that the (Yu Ho K'iao) Bridge over the Imperial Canal should be reopened to public enfiic, as since the foundation of the Dynasty nearly 3 years ago, bad never been closed
before.
The "Tao" savages down In Lienchow, Kuangtung, near Pakhai, whose strange dances and songs we mentioned some days ago, have been giving trouble to the Chinese settlers in that wild part of the country. The Chinese have a stockaded town called San-Kiang; or Sam Kong, in the sivage country, into which the Tao are allowed to bring what they have to trade, but whose inhabitants have the power to keep
them out if necessary, also. About 10 to 15 February the savages were out on the war- path, and robbed and burned many Chinese houses. A Hupeh man who was caught by the Lien-chow Chinese helping the aborigines to burn the huts of Chinese, was put to death by them by the Ten trians, or thousand spears," form of running the gauntlet which the Chinese have learned from the ravages ;' the victim is laid on the ground tied, andany pas er- by who feels disposed may give him a prod with a spear. The Hupel man did not live long, and after exposure for several days his body was thrown into the river. A small detachment of Chinese troops has gone to Sam Kong to restore order.

ing in any way with municipal affairs. It is regrettable that this official should have put bimself forward as á candidate in open defiance of the wishes of a majority of landowners. As a consequence of Mr. Schoenicke's enforced retire ment the whole election, at which he persisted
in casting a vote, will be declared null and void; erin plain langage a fasco.
It is reported, upon good authority, that Yuen Lately struck General Han Rin Sol, commander of left wing of the Army, a blow on the face with his open hand, and ordered him out of bis

It seems to be impossible to obtain any definite or detailed account of the state of affairs at the scene of the Chông Chou breach in the Yellow River bank, further than that it has been closed by a continuous embankment, which, however, leaks in several places and on this account causes anxiety. On the orber hand, Wu Tr-cheng, the energetic Commissioner, with a great force of men, now wäl trained to the work, and under what is, for China, akilled THE CHINA AND MANILA STEAMSHIP oversight, is working strenuously night and day to thicken the bank, and to fill up the huge cavity at the base of it. It appears that where the flood waters broke out the swirls and eddies of the torrents have excavated a deep hole, by some said to be 60, by others said to be 80 feet deep. The pressure of this mass of water is very great, and when it was pouring out, the rush of it was scarcely to be resisted. Whether the breach repairs will stand the coming floods is question about which the Chinese reporters are divided in opinion. According to all we'j hear, not exact or definite information we conf fess, there would seem reason to fear for the permanence of the northern bank in various critical places. It is said that less snow than usual has fallen in Mongolia this year, a fact, if true, that will ease the coming floods.

There has been very nearly another very serious riot at Chinkang. On foth March four Coolies were carrying firewood through the prin-

A Chinese policeman saw him and advanced to make him move on. The cookie said "Wait till I have taken off my coal, and I will go on," when the policeman impatient of delay, and observing the man beginning to strip, hit a blow at his head with a slick, making a considerable dent in it. The blood flowed, and the man fell to the ground. By this time the crowd stood around like a dense wall, in an angry excited state, and the firewood coolle and some friends lald hands on the policeman, and some holding the latter, some supporting the injured coolie, the crowd ap- grown on the long sterilized and worthles

stablished in Santa Cruz in 1888, and following Iso closely upon the Government relinquishing he monopoly in cigars. Of the 25 brands of cigars, ranging in value (wholesale, of course) from $50 to $7 per thousand, the company divide their cigars into two classes, the one of a lozen brands being enclosed in a spiral wrapper, while in the other thirteen the wrapper is faid' on straight. The first lot include all the nore expensive cigars, seven of the dozen, which are all packed in boxes of go each, varying in rice tam. $20 to $50 per thou- sand. The finest cigars sent by the company to Melbourne are the Alfonsinos, and after it in order come Primos de Estella, Brevas de Perez, Imperiales de Estrada, and Regalias de Jimeno. The Pimos de Estella are the heaviest cigars made by the company, a thousand of them turn- ing the scale at 23lb. Spanish weight. The ordinary trade cigars are very attractively dis- played in this case, and as far as appearances indicale meri', there would seer to be little room for choice, as much the same trouble has heen taken with them as with the more expen- sive brands. The variety' of the patterns in the case is not less noticeable than the sameness in colour and shape of cigars from the same box and bundle, showing that the labour is expert and the sording cleverly done. In the 13 brands, varying in price from 9 to 16 dollars per thou sand, there is wide room for choice without any material alteration in prices. In buying whole- sale, however, the cost varies very materially in proportion as the number of cigars in each box is increased. Cigars which in the price-list of the company cost $14 per thousand in boxes of 100 each are reduced to $10 per thousand 3"6] when the number in each box is increased to 500. The whole of the cigars in the case are made entirely from the Manila leaf grown by the Company. Two of the brands, Leoneies, and Moriones de Oroquieta, each quoted at $20 per thousand, are said to correspond very closely with the quality of good Havannahs.
