and died an hour later. The carpenter, who also received severe injuries, died five days after, on the 27th September. The ship got fato the typhoon the day after she left Nagasaki, and though the Captain did all he could to get to safe shelter, it was impossible to see land, even a distance of ten yards, there being in a thick fog All was hopeless when her anils went. Ten of the crew and the Captain's child perished in the disaster. The body of one of the unfortunate men, was washed 'ashoro minus arms and legs. The survivors are staying in the Seamen's Home, utterly destitute.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1890.
quite probable that we should encounter him The vicious creature was in the habit of coming to the village, where the blood of the little child still lay on the ground, in search of the prey that had been taken from it; ot fading this, it would gallop off rapidly to the other village about two miles distant, where the boy had been bitten. The people for miles around were cuttin grass on the hills, so notice was given that if any ugers were seen, word should be sent to head- quarters. We posted ourselves on a knoll is a clump of pine trees just in the line of the tiger's operations, and awaited the appearance of the game. But wo walled in vain; although we kept in position until 4 p m., no tiger rewarded our patience. Not only this, but since that time In this vicinity no tigers have been seen at all; so, that the object which we had in view, namely the expulsion of the man-caters, has been accom- plished without loss of life or limb to either tiger or man, Whether the cutting away ci the jungle by the people keeps them back, or whether they are frightened or disgusted by the appearance of foreigners, the reader is left to judge. The expedition was meanly provided for and but poorly equipped ; one mule (the reported cause of the Chungking riot, a noted kicker), an ass, and a musket similar in some respects to those of the reign of Queen Anne constituted the furniture.
22nd October, 1889. The serious troubles arising out of an attempt by the local officials to levy extra lakin taxes on kerosene oil, piece goods, matches, etc., etc., have subalded, labour having so far won a complete victory over unscrupulous officialdom. As I mentioned in a previoss letter, the people flocked in from the surrounding districts In tens and bundreds of thousands, completely scared the rapacious officials, ducked the superintendent of the head fahin station in a horse-pond, had set-to with the military-lo A temple to the Ite Admiral Peng Yü-lin I« which eight civilians were shot dead and several | being wrected by the Emperor on the Kom-la chü women and children seriously wounded-and | Hill near this place, at a cost of Tis. 100,000. caused mob rule to triumph over gross 'mis-rule | In clearing away the rubbish for the foundations, for the space of fully two weeks. "This state of a number of old bricks bearing curious Inscrip. affairs existed until the obnoxious extra felis. tions were found. manifesto was withdrawnand an assurance given by the Taolaithat no further attempt would be made to increase the present heavy taxation of an oppressed people.
From this strike it is evident that the Celestial working classes have come to the conclusion that by united action they can insist on justice being meted out to them just as successfully as trades-unionists have done in Europe, America and Australasin. They have put the experiment to the test and scored a complete victory, which must inevitably lead to the much-to-be-desired curtailment of the power of the official classes in. China. The Chinese people now know their power, and given proper organisation they will before long cause a revolution in the social affairs of the Middle Kingdom which no foreign minister at Peking, however influential, could have hoped to bring about within the present century. This knowledge of their power of united action will do more to bring about the freedom of the millions of China from the oppression of the mandaring than the latter can even approxmiately estimate at the present time. Bat come it will. The world is moving onward and China, conservative though she be, will also have to move, reluctantly perhaps, but nevertheless she
must move..
Llu, superintendent of the Lekin office, who was ducked in a pond during the late riots, has, now learn, cleared out for Canton vs Hongkong, having been smuggled an board the German steampship Marie prior to her last trip up to your port. He took all his goods and chattels with him, likewite a couple of wives, so he evidently intends to make himself scarce around these parts ad infinitum. The vox popull.anys it is
good riddance of utterly bad rubbish. Captain Bisbee, Coast Inspector, and Mr. David Marr Henderson, Engineer-in-chief of the Imperial Markime Customs Service, are here, and have, it is reported, decided to build a Highthouse on the point known as Western Cape, at the extreme S. E. ead of the Manai Straits. Captains who often pass through these straits say that Cape Cami, on the mainland, would be a more suitable site for the lighthouse, as the land being low, and a long and spit extending close opon a mile out to sea from the shore, light were placed there steamers could cut the point pretty close at night and thús save about 20 miles, a very important matter which should have the careful consideration of the authorities concerned.
Just as I close this, news of the massacre, by pirates, of the son of the Governor of Hanol bas reached us. A large body of French and Annamite troops have gone upriver on a punitive expedition. The French scem quite unable to ensure anything like good order in Tonquin, What with disease, pirates, doods, droughts, and frontier disputes with the Chinese, the authorities bave, their hands full of unprofitable business from one year's end to the other.

Sandakan, rat October, 1890. Mr. D. Haagmans, of Dell, the Administrator of the Arendsburg Tobacco Company, having Lately Inspected the different Kinabatangan estates, has taken a concession for his Company and will begin to prepare for planting next year. Capt. R. D. Becaton left Sandakan on Sept. a3rd, to inspect the Kinabatangan estates. We understand his report is very favourable, all the six estates looking well. The health of the coolies in all has wonderfully improved and the tobacco cut up to date is satisfactory in quantity, and of first class quality.

The alarming increase of opium dens and "devils" has evoked a proclamation from the Tactal. It is put up on the city gate, and sets forth the evils consequent upon the use of the drug, and the difficulty of restraining the people who smoke it. In forming opinions of the effects of opium on the Chinese It is well to consider the opinion of the people and officials themselves on the subject; and the intelligent traveller in China will find the universal consent to be that opium is an unmitigated curse which is sapping the life of the nation.-V.

KEEPING NITRO-COMPOUND
CARTRIDGES.
To the Editor of "The Field." - Sir, I noticed in one of your answers to. corespondents in The Field of Aug. 23 that you recommend cartridges loaded with Schultze or EC powder should be kept in a cool place. I also observed that Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey in one of his letters to prug shooters advised cartridges loaded with nitro-compounds being kept in a room at a temperature of 40 Fabr.
When I read the letter I was staying in a well- built country house, and the temperature in the coolest room was 70° Fahr. To-day it feels chi'ly, but with no fires lighted the temperature Indoors is 65° Fahr. It therefore appears to me that it would be very difficult to find a dry room at a temperature of 40° Fahr. during the summer months in this country, and therefore there must be thousands of cartridges loaded with nitro-compounds kept at a temperature between 60 and 70° Fahr.
Knowing that a warm, dry place was the best. for cartridges loaded with black powder, I have kept them in a cupboard with the kitchen chimney at the back of it, not being aware that cartridges loaded with nitro-compounds should not be kept in a warm place. I have had some cartridges loaded with EC and Schulze in this feel much obliged if you would kindly inform me cupboard for over two years; 1 should therefore whether there would be any danger in using
them.
Lymington, September and.

[Our correspondent has not read our reply to "Beginner" in the sense we intended it to convey-which was; that there is little trouble In keeping Schultze and EC cartridges to proper condition, if the extremes of damp, on the ast hand, and over-dryness on the other, are avoided. What we sald was; "All you have to do is to keep the cartridges in an ordinarily dry place- avolding, on the one hand, anything like a damp cellar, and, on the other, a constantly-beated closet where the air is rendered unnaturally dry. A few degrees of temperature, more or less, are of little effect in comparison with extremes of damp and dryners." The nitro-compounds are more sensitive to humidity and desiccation than black powders are. If loaded cartridges are kept in a -damp place, the moisture permeates through the paper and weakens the shooting. On the other heated closet (even if only of the temperature of hand, if the cartridges are kept shut up in a yo per cent. or so), which is kept continually warm by the proximity of skitchen flot, or some much contrivance, then the air of the closet will become unnaturally dry, and the normal amount of moisture i be greatly reduced or altogether abitrarted. This abstraction of moisture has more effect nitro-compounds than on black powder, and may possibly cause them to shoot with greater violence than is desirable; therefore then, parched- air closets should be avoided. If, however, any cartridges have been subjected to such an abstraction of moisture, the evil may be remedied by letting them lle uncovered in the air of an ordinary dwelling room for a day or two, when they will re-absorb from the atmosphere an
