AMOY NOTES.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Amay, 16th April, 1894. This is a great reason for tigers in the Amoy district. Thus lar six large ones have been killed andabour fil y cubs captured. The lncrease of igers is the vicinity is probably dee to the six months* drought which has prevailed in Fokien andwhich, by culling short food supplies in the interior, his driven the ferociens denizens of the jungle Iowards the cast.
There was a very heavy squall in Amoy harbour on Thursday the 5th instant, by which four junks and several sampans were upset and one hundred and two Chinese drowned. It was a genuine surprise to old residents when the sampan men of the place went to the rescue of the crews and passengers of the unlucky junks and brought many sufferers in safety to the shore. A new reef of coat at Keiung was recently discovered by the natives, who began to work It for their own benefiton the 2nd lastant. It is maid that the it cal magistrates have prohibited further operations, in addition to punisblog several of the men found with the black diamonda in their position.
The Tamsul gold-fields are proving larger and richer than was generally anticipated. Five coolles, one of whom had worked in the mines in California, la'ely found dry bed about seven miles from Twatutis and took from it over twenty pounds of good dust in a fortnight. Every new discovery confirms the prediction of Mr John Dedd and General Le Gendre that Tamsul would be found to possess the richest "placer", and quartz mines in ite world.

March 15th. The terms of the Anglo-Chinese Convention regarding the Burma frontier have not been yet made public, but it will probably be found that the Chinese Government abandons its contention for the evacuation of Sadon, thus recognising accomplished facts in the debalable terslory to the east of the Irrawaddy north of Bhamo, while China gets compenmilon in the shape of certain concessions east of Bhamo in the direc tion of Klang Hung.

The deceased was 'very bright and popular young man who came to Amoy about five years ago as tea-exert for the old hong of Featon, Low & C., and when that firm riired, he remained with the business under the manage- ment of Mr. Frank Leyburn, and akerwards joined the princely house. Mr. Donaldson was social favorite la Amoy, and in builness matters had given videoces of high ability and promise. His death creates a vacancy in local ..circles which it will be difficult to fill
The even tenoor of things in Amoy has been, again interrupted. The last time it was a zow about pilots; now it is a question of mooring receiving-hulics in the channel opposite the Band. Butterfield and Swite want a hulk, and so do the China Merchants' Company. Jadine, Matheson and Co. are on the fence'; they want halk and they don't want one. The other shipping people want no hulle and are therefore opposed to the proposed innovation. The bongs which are interested in sailing vessels belleve that their occupation will be gone when receiving hulksappear upon the scene, and they aretherefore bitter against those who are striving to introduce them into tblsport. The matter after being talked over by the merchant was referred to the consular representatives, who la due course sent a protest against hulks to the Commissioner of Custom at least the consuls for Great Bekain and Germany did so. The Commissioner very pro- perly answered that he had no option about the proposed method of discharging cargo, adding that any protest or objection should be addressed to the Inspector General at Peking. Thereupon two consuls forwarded protests to Peking, where probably they are now. To the meantime the first balk is being made ready at Shanghal to decoraisthe waters of Amoy.

Sir D. Macfarlano naked If, in the event of the Government of India agreeing to charge an excise duty on cotton goods manufactured in India, the Secretary of State would went to charge a corresponding import duty on cotton goods imported from the United Kingdom into India.
Mr. Fowler replied that if the Government of India were able to propose a countervalling excise duty on cotton goods manufactured in India, it would, in his opinion, remove the serious objection to the import duty, bat at pre- sent be could only say that such proposal if received would receive the careful consideration of Her Majesty's Government.
