NEWCHWANG...
"(FROM OUR OWN, CORRESPONDET.)
October 29th. The frosty weather keeps off unusually long. for although the thermometer has been within half a degree of freezing point, there has not, so far, been any ice, nor have we yet had one of those blustering snowy days, that are apt to astonish new arrivals. In fact the weather is deliciously fresh and pleasant. Steamers and sailing vessels are making their appearance for the purpose of new puise shipments, but some are obliged to be sethfied with such stocks as remala from last year, as new season's peas
To defend the five thousand I' coast-line of this country of inexhaustible mineral wealth, lying so near to both Russia and Japan, ia a problem for which, however difficult, we must find a solution, and that soon. We have now a fleet of at least 60 war-vessels of wood or iron, divided into the Northern & Southern,
no down yet in any quantity. Growers, Squadrons, the former the more powerful. It would be a goodeplan to establish, at some port however, or speculatera are asking high rates, equidistant from north and south, a naval depot and shippers will have to pay or lose large as the headquarters of a fleet of say 15 vessels,am for freights engaged. The Leyken is to be constantly exercised as a flying squadron, taking another cargo of millet for Tientsin, and visiting bytums the Tumeariver on the north, the the Yungching just in, some say, will also Haenan waters on the south, or Tenshims and ship millet, others have it that she will go to Liukiu on the cast. At Port Arthur, in Fêngt'ien, Shanghal Very lary quantities of cotton are Welhal in Shantung, Singi tu Korea Tamsul in coming, a great many bales having already been Formosa, Heihow in Kuangtung, Chusan in. imported. As the season advances, importa of Cheklang, and Tsung-ming in Kiangsu, some all kinds increase, and this in the large men-af-war should be constantly stationed. By exports, make the port look very busy. If the weather keep fine all will be well, but one cannot such a distribution, from whatever quarter a surprise was attempted, a first line of defence tell bow long it will last, although the general would be ready, to reinforce which assistance idea is that the winter will not be earlier than could quickly arrive. If China is strong, Korea last year. This tolerably safe prophecy, and to attempt anything more oracular would. will be let alone, and we may even open new ports in it to foreign intercourse, not only without be ambitious—N: C Daily News. danger, but with increased safety. Such might be in the province of Hawking Lifeng, Sungtao and in Kingyan, Sanshe, Welchen in King. shang, Chang-yuan in Ta'ilanlo, Wuan in Pingan, Sanhwa.
+
Land defence should occupy our attention, an well as the efficiency of our feet. By land we have been even more successful in war than by sea, and attackable points on the Korean coast should be so fortified and garrisoned as to ensure the annihilation of a hostile landing force. They should fare as did the French who landed at Kehung, when Liu Ming-chuan in one action took from them 8 cannon and 3,000 rifles, Along the Tumen, the brave Korean tiger-hunters should be encamped, as the eight banners of the Tartats are camped in line elsewhere, to guard
the frontier.
The Russians (of whose trustworthness as neighbours the Deer Island incident was such a striking instance) began in 1887 their Eastern Siberian Railrand, under the direction of Baron Korff, Governor of the Ussuri province, and General Ignatie. This was to be finished in five years, when from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock, 28.000. Chinese If (9,000 miles), trains will come in fifteen days. Since they obtained from Japan, in exchange for the and Islands (the Kuriles), T'anglaitae (Seghalien) now called by its old name Raych they have been developing the resources of that large island and colonising it with troops, with the greatest energy. By the time the Russian milway is finished, Korea will be in a dangerous position unless we also move in the meantime.
Last year when the Governors of Chinese provinces were reporting on schemes for tailways in Chira, the defence of Linotung was referred to, and it was suggested to carry a line through from Shashaikuan to Fengt'ien, thence N.E. to the N. bank of the Tumen and Kirin. A powerful glenn should be kept on the Tumes to Copriate in case of nerd with the garrison at Kinghing and Kingyuan. In case of bostilities arizing between Russia and Corea, we should then be able to lack the right flank of the invading force with our troops from Ninggata and to meet them with our forces of Feluna. From their rear we should come on them with our fleet attacking Hanch'an, and on the Tumen river we should assail their left flank. With the southern Korean coast in addition strongly forti fied, it is difficult to see what the Russian could galn by an attack on Korea.
Thus Korea may be placed in a good position as regards defence, without making her into province of China, as we are now advised by some to do, but leaving her still out tributary, with internal autonomy, free and encouraged to remove abuses of government and develop her vast resource-mining, commercial, and mill- tary. To defend her we shall not be obliged to draw closer the politicalities that unite her to us, or to throw large garrisons of Chinese troops into the country. All that we need do is to strengthen our naval power and make invulnerable to attack our own Kirin and the classic regions of the Long White Mountain; our neighbour and tributary can do most of the rest herself.

The markets of Peking present some strange fluctuations of late. Althe beginning of the sum- mer, grain was cheap and meats of various kinds very dear. Now the reverse of this is true.Wharf, Muiten can be had for 6 cents per catty, while grain is at the high water mark. The best rice la 8 coals per catly, millet So cents per faw and all grains in proportion. The cheapness of mutton is explained by the fact that during the the heavy rains, the flocks of sheep on the Mon- golinn plains were not driven to Peking because of the impassable roads. Just as soon roads are opened, the flicks pour in and the markets are full of the best meat at the lowest rates. The grain in very expensive; it would seem as though meat was in reich even of the poorest Chopped straw for horses, last year 80 ST. cents per hundred castier, in now $1,20, and the price is still going up.

Fine mules can now be purchased at very low rates, as the farmers from the distressed regions are bringing their animals to Peking in great antrobers of sale. Financial stress seems never to affect one market in Peking, and that is the bird market. On the great street near Four- palow, you can easily find this market by the throngs of people. There you will find fancy. birds at fancy prices, large birds like the haw, owl and falcon, all varieties down to the little

but also by the flocks of people from tant region only by the representations of Father Watson, GRACIE PLAISTED'S "MY SWEET- now coming to Peking to take advantage of the soup kitchens in the outhern city. The suffering there is most real. The writer met an official from Pauti coming to Peking to solicit a share of the famine relief funds so liberally given out by the Government. The remark being made that. his cart seemed heavily laden for the luggage he had, he replied that be was taking a large sum of silver to fee the officials in Peking, so that his communication would be received. The reference in the N. C. Herald to the fact that the people of Paoti were passed by in previous distribu- ilona of grain and their care misrepresented, is true. The sad fact is that doubtless, the bribe given to the officers was too small to secure their interposition. That the management of Famine Relief funds is a most desirable position is proved by the fact that an officer in a lucrative position in Peking resigned in order to take up rel of work with less assured, pay and a precarious tenure of office. It seems the very Irony of fate that these poor people with their benevolent magistrate who has resigned a good share of his income, should be obliged to empty out the few cash they may have had remaining in order to fee the well-paid officers in Peking. Apropos of the above is the fact that the inst inspection of the Imperial granaries reveals a defi ciency of 150,000 fau of rice. It is not the usual time of official visitation and would not have taken place except for the long and loud complaints from the poor people that the black mille and rice dealt out to them could not be eaten. The crafty guardians of the granaries had been dealing to the famine-stricken people grain which was supposed be (and really was) spoiled beyond use, and had been selling the good rice and filing their pockets with the silver. A strict Investigation is ordered and will doubtless result In the conviction of the thieves.
