(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LIU MING-CHUAN AND HIS TROUBLES.
Tambul, 17th Octeber, 1890. It is about time that the highly-coloured accounts of this island and official "mores" therein should receive some contradiction and correct interpretation from one who, in common with many others, has often been completely taken aback by the almost inconceivable dights of imagination in which several correspon dents of Shanghal and Hongkong papers (the Talagraph excluded of course) have, of late, freely Indulged in. „Such reports are grossly mislead- ing and, presumably, written with the set object of puffing" some pet scheme, or of haring a slap at those who had, inadvertently, trodden on the toes of the learned correspondents.

It was preceded by red parasols and followed by an. immense portable white screen, beblad which rude some thirty women, their faces protected from public gaze by apparatus resembling lamp shades. A tablet chair in the form of a pavillon, bell-ringers and men bearing large red planks for use at the grave, with several hundred coolies all scorted by mandarins and police, more pocity bearers, guards, and hundreds of reserve coolies destined to relieve the other bearers from time to time. Standards of the guilds and the great bier containing the coffin with Her Majesty's remains, similar in construction and appearance to the smaller ons, only much larger, carried and dragged along by means of a system of cables, by a force of eight hundred men. Its massiva timber frame fifty by eighteen feet required this

Many of the southern officials, members of powerful familles, are very hostile to Liu, and it is only necessary for a European to have a slight knowledge of Oriental "olo custom" to under- stand what up-hill, work the Viceroy has to plod along with. Liu has undertaken a Herculean task and with grim persistence is making gradual headway. Is the course of his multi
The pageant swept on out towards the East Gate, bearing with it all that was left of the sovereign who during her eighty-pue-years of life had seen so many changes of solemn Import to her country.
Taking it all in all the affair was not well managed, less so even then the third rehearsal. There was too much space between the different parts of it. It was very disorderly, the coolies and followers smoking, laughing, and talking, and the troops doing likewise, jostling each other in the ranka, leaving them and failing to keep their alignments. There was a lack of seriousness, and it might just as well have been a carnival procession as a funeral. There may have been nometwenty thousand men in line, for the passage took an hour and a half,.

Tarious duties it is often necessary for His Excel- excy to place important matters before the Central Government, and as he is undoubtedly a progressist it is natural that his views should often chafe the nerves of sordid conserva- tives who "rule the roast" in Peking. It is therefore not surprising that the Censors have been making it hot for him-owing to a sharp note which he addressed to a certain northern 'big.wig." The upshot is that Liu's rank has been suspended-as is customary in such cases--pending the investigation of groundless charges preferred against him. The concensus of opinion here is that this ablest of Chin se vicerovs will come out of the scrimmage with flying colours. It is extremely doubtful whether the Pcking authorities will allow him to go away from here, for some months at any rate, although he has tendered his resignation. There are few, if any, other Liu's in China, and the Central Government surely knows it. He is the one Viceroy that showed himself to be a statesman and a soldiers during the trying times of Courbet's
blockade of the southern coast of the the Great
Middle Kingdom in 1885.
THE KKLUNG FORTS.
The forts at Kelung have been completed, and the big Armstrong guns placed in position by Lieut Hecht. These guns are warranted to knock any Russian ironclad into atoms at a four-miles range! Just fancy what monsters they are! Ain't it funny how any man can mount them? Yet Hecht talked of "mounting" these guns with the sang froid of a gourmand who had just "bolted" a leg of mutton and was patiently awaiting the arrival of a platter of roast beef and Yorkshire padding!-Alas! such is life.
THE COAL MINES,
4
The Kelung mines are being worked by a Chinese company, and the "foreign devils "are therefore bested. The managers are, so it is sald, going to have a regular daily out-put of 500 tons. Since the transfer of the mines to the Celestial syndicate His Excellency the Viceroy. has nothing farther to do with them, of which he is probably very glad indeed.

In the pre-ent instance, if the magistrate of Ta Chu had come out after the row on the nineteenth with a strong pro clamation denouncing the rioters and threatening vengeance on all law-breakers, there is not a doubt but that ringing would have ceased.

A TALE OF THE SEA.
A Naval Court of Inquiry was held at H.B.M.'s Consulate, Nagasaki, on the zand alt. into the loss of the British ship Lizzie C. Troop, Captain B. G. Fownes, off Yerabu, one of the Loochoo group, on the morning ofthe 22nd September. The Arst mate, J. R. Rawlins, said that the vessel was wooden, with a capacity of 1791 tons. She left Neganski on the. 15th September, with 600 tons of ballast, for Friget Sound. On the 16th she met bad weather, increasing to a typhoon, which blow away most of her sails. "On the 22nd," be continued, "we sighted the land close under our lee, although we had previously supposed we must be quite 16 miles to the eastward of the land. On sighting the land we cut the foresail adrift, put the helm up and tried to "wear." The ship, however, was too close; she fell off a little and then struck, and in five minutes was in pieces. We had struck on the island of Yerabu, one of the Loochons Captain Fownes had been on deck since Sunday noon. We had had everyone "standing by lace that time; no one went below, A look-out had been kept all the time, but we could not see a quarter of the length of the ship through rain and sea. We had lost nothing but our sails. The vessel was gone in a minute from the striking, and it was each man for himself. When we struck the captain said, "We are all gone," and his wife, who had come up with the baby in her arms, said, "Well, am Ito die alone 7 and the captain said, "No, I will come with you." and he joined her in the companion way and took the baby. She had been on deck before, but had had to go below as she could not hold on against the wind. No orders were given when we struck; k was every man for himself, but the second mate sung out, I believe, "Jump and swim" He and some others went over the stern and were drowned. I was knocked down and got Jammed in the deck, with the carpenter in the same praition three feet from me, When I got Joose I jumped on a pile of wreckage, thence into the surf, and so nshore. The ship was only about 15 feet from the shore, against a ledge of rock against which she had come broadside on The third time she struck she was beaten into pieces, and the masts came down in a heap. I next saw Mrs. Fownes on some wreckage and the captain on a deckhouse. Mrs. Fownes's dress had previously been caught and she was tearing it away. I and another man hauled her off some wreckage on to a ledge of rock about 6 feet out of the water. I dan't know who got the captain ashore. The carpenter, who was a very old man, lived five days and then died. The captain was insensible when brought ashore and Dever "came to." The carpenter, I think, must have died from the shock, as he died between dinner and supper time, in his sleep. I never saw the child or knew what became of it. I have been at sea 21 years, and in my opinion nothing could possibly have been done to save more life. Life-buoys were no good, I had one, but I threw It away. It was still blowing a typhoon when we struck, and in a case like that it was each man for himself. The people on shore must have seen us before we sighted the land, or struck, as there were quite a hundred of them on the beach when we got ashore. One of them carried me up to a house and another carried Mr. Fownes. The atones were like knives, wo could not walk on them. We stopped at this place until the Captain died, and then went to village about three or four miles off, where the This attack appears to have been entirely Governor lived.

25th August, 1890, The latest and apparently most reliable account of the trouble at Ta Chu Hsien is that it arose out of a celebration beld at a village called Loong Tuy Tsin, distant some twenty li from Ta Chu, on the sixteenth of the sixth moon, in honour of the Lin Kuan joss, who is appar ently the patron deity of the Ko Lao Huy, which is a well-known interdicted secret society. After the ceremonies, which lasted several days, were over, and the seniors were duly elected, it was proposed to enquire of the oracle connected with this jom if it would be safe to plunder the Christians; the answer was fo the stfirmative, So on the nineteenth, that is the nineteenth of the sixth meon, the brotherhood, which is composed of the bad characters from several of the neighbouring districts, made a raid on a
