RECKUDUSCENCE OF PIRACY,,
Piracy in the Canton delta has reached such a pitch that nothing but the most vigorous action and repressive measures will nox exterminate the disease. Some few days ago a case of piracy occurred in the vicinity of Macao, when a native junk was attacked and valuables to the amount of $3,000 stolen.
Prior to that a steamboat was "held up" by a gang of pirates in the West River and several thousand dollars' worth of goods carried away. On Friday lası, the pirates, emboldened by the criminal apathy of the Chinese Government, and the disinclination of foreign warships to breed trouble by interfering with what is in reality a matter.touching the internal government of China, surrounded a steam launch belong: ing to the Standard Oil Company, between Canton and Kongmun, overpowered the crew, and stole whatever they could lay their A.
