great consternation' amongst the people residing in the vicinity. Fortunately for every one, the explosion occurred in the preparatory depart
S.S. Pilasiya.....Fakirmhomed Tandel.ment, and there was none of the finished article or the premises at the time; hence, although several of the buildings in the compoundcollaps. ed, there were no loss of life, nor serious injury to the workmen. This is the second explosion within a twelvemonth, at the works, the first of which totally wrecked the place, involving the loss of many lives, including that of the Man age, a Taotai named Hsti Nêng-hu, a protégé of Viceroy Chang. The body of the luckless Taoui, as was reported in this paper at the time, was blown to pieces, only h` band being eventually recognised and recovered. After the Powder-works, were rebuilt and restored, Viceroy Chang appointed the late Total's elds est son, Hall Hsien-ting, to succeed his parent. The young officer, more fortunate than his father, escaped injury this time. Spontaneous combustion has been given as the cause of the present explosion.

NOTES ON NATIVE AFFAIRS.
(From the N. C. D. News.)
A GOOD APPOINTMENT. IF TRUE News received from Kaifeng states that it is probable that the Throne will appoint Ĥ. E. K'uci Chun (Manchu). Viceroy of Szechuan, to the Viceroyalty of the Two Kuang provinces, vice the late Viceroy Tao Me. H.E. K'uei Chun is a progressive,official who will doubt less continue the reform measures inaugurated, or intended to be inaugurated in Kuangtung by the late Viceroy.If this news be true the highest three mandarina"at Canton will all be Manchus, as the Governor, Tê Shou, is a Manchu, and the Tartar General of Canton is by necessity a Manchu also.
[According to our Canton correspondent the Viceroy was alive yesterday and no news of the appointment of a successor had been received.-Ed., H.K.T.)
'BANDITS IN
'HONAN.
It is reported from Honan that there are large bands of mounted brigands in that province, especially in the prefecturs of Nanyang, Piyang district, and also at Hsüchow in the same pro vince. The family of the Empress Dowager's favourite, Wu Yung (the first official who showed any loyalty and kindness to the Imperial re fugees when fleeing from Peking in August" last year), whilst travelling from Hupch to Kaifeng recently, was waylaid at Hsuchou by brigands, who stripped the members of every thing but the barest clothing, and carried off gold, jewellery, clothes and money aggregating to over Tls. 10,000.in value. Fortunately no one was hurt, owing to the bandits being allowed to carry off everything without any opposition.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
The Universal Garette learns that when at K'aifeng Prince Ching strongly recommended to the Empress Dowager H.E, Hu Yü-fênj former Director-General of Northern Railways; as a person whose abilities fitted him for any of the most important posts in the Government It is further stated that the Empress Dowager appeared to be favourably impressed with
Prince Ching's recommendation.
́STILL DOUBTFUL.
A SEMI-PANIC.
amongst Chinese merchants-is reported from Tientsin, arising from the death of the late Viceroy Li Hung-chang, it being feared that his demise would encourage the Boxers to rise again. For this reason transport of goods, destined for Shanghai had been stopped and agents at Shanghal advised to delay sending goods destined for Tientsin, with the intention of seeing "how the wind would blow." Con- fidence. bas not been fully restored yet at Tientsin, it would seem, for the majority of merchants in the North are still hesitating and unwilling to bring from the interior goods to be exported to Shanghai, THE RETURN JOURNEY OF PRINCE CHINO.
An official dispatch from Weihui, Honan, reports the arrival on the 19th-inst. of Prince Ching at that city, en route for Paking, and that his highness left the next day bound for his destination.
་
THE CHINESE COMMERCIAL COMMISSIONERS.
A Peking dispatch siates that the former Customs Taotal of Tientsin, Huang Chien-yuan, who was recently appointed by the Throne to Assist H.E. Sheng in the Tariff negotiations in Shanghai, was to leave Peking on the oth inst, for Shanghai.
A CORRECTION. The report that a young Mongol 'Prince, son of Na Yen-t'u, Chief Prince of the Khalkbo Mongols, had arrived here from Peking to visit the various treaty ports, is a misapprehension, and it is really the eldest son of Prince Suja "lad of seventeen, who has come south for a.
trip. The young Prince, who is a Duke (Kung). by title, is now at Hangchow, sightseeing at: the celebrated Hsihu or West Lake, but will return to Shanghai in a few days. As the young Duke is supposed to travel incog, there has been no official reception accorded him by the local mandarins. His Private Secretary and Interpreter in English, is Mr. Lo Hain-fu, the eldest son of the Grain Intendant of Soo- chow, Tautai. Lo Shao-keng..
ROMANS V. "BOERS."
A CURIOUS HISTORICAL PARALLEL Dr. Garnett, to whom it is natural but no longer accurate to refer as of the "British Museum," has written a letter to the Timer in which he produces from Roman history curiously close parallel to our present case. The parallel is in deed so exact and interesting that The same paper states that the Empress every scholar raust be wondering why he ́also Dowager was actually intending (7) to leave had not thought of applying it. The story comes for Peking during the three days following her from the Annals of Tacitus and relates to the birthday anniversary, when all her doubts and long-drawn-out war of Rome under Tiberius uncertainty returned by the receipt of the news with Tacfarinas, who plays the the part of Mr. of the late Viceroy Li's death.
