THE CRISIS IN KWANGSI,

The N.-C. Daily News of the 7th inst. reports:-

The local mandarins have received news from the South of the capture by rebels of the prefectural city of Liuchou, not far from Kecilia, the provincial capital of Kuangsi, in consequence, of which the situation of the last named city is now very serious, there, being not quite 5,000 men holding the place. The loyalty of these troops, even, is suspected, and it is thought | that the moment the rebel forces appear in strength before the provincial capital the garrison will hand it immediately over

the rebels, who intend to make Kueilin the capital of the new Chinese dynasty. What the leaders of the rebel- lion really want, however, is some seaport; so as to have the means of

tion with theirfriends outside. Once Kueilin is captured and they have a regular base to work, from in extending the rebellion to other provinces wo may expect them to make a decided effort in capturing some in- portant city on the sea const. Whilst people in the provinces receive authentic news of the numerous successes of the rebels whose oporations have extended even into Hunan province and whose partisans are con- stantly increasing in Yunnan, Kueichou. Szechuan, and Kuangtung provinces, the powers that he in Peking are being fed with telegrams from Kuangai officials reporting 'glorious victories' over the -rebola. So infatuated has the Central Government in the capital become on this account that they refuse to believe con- trary accounts from high officials in the vicinity of Kuangsi province who are independent of those in the latter pro- vince. It is stated that one high official in Kueichou writing to the Grand Council concerning the large quantities of maga. zine rifles and ammunition in the hands of the Kuangsi rebels declared his suspicions that some foreign Government was scoretly assisting the movement;' to this the Council replied that as China was in the closest friendship (sic) with all the Powers it was absurd to entertain such suspicions. The high official in ques-Kinghorn & Macdonald,

tion then denounced Governor Wang Chih-chun unequal to deal with the situation and recommend either Chang Chih-tung or Wei Kuang-tao as Coin- mander-in-chief over all the forces opera- ting against the rebels, at the same time suggesting that the troops of the Yun-Kuei provinces be ordered to combine with the Two Kuang forces. The Grand Council pooh-poohed this also and replied that Governor Wang Chih-chun was quite exp- able to deal with the situation with the troops he now has under him in Kuungsi. ¡ As proof of this Governor Wang's telegrams announcing successive victories over the rebels wore copied and transmitted to the high official above noted,

OLD & YOUNG

the vigour and buoyancy of health are secured by the timely and regular use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup-a natural tonic and blood purifier compounded of fruits, roots and herbs. It tones the liver, regulates the bowels, promotes the thorough digestion of food and thus sustains and neurishes both brain and body with an abundant flow of pure rich blood.

SEIGEL'S

"Six years ago," says Mr.T. Martin,

of 91, Brougham St., Sydney, N.S.W.,

SYRUP

"I began to suffer from quite a complication of complaints. I

was both bilious and dyspeptic, and suffered excruciating agony

in my back. One doctor told me I was suffering from dyspepsia and enlargement of the liver, but his treatment failed to cure

me, and not until I used Mother Seigel's Syrup and Plasters

did I find permanent relief. I continued with the remedies for nine weeks, by which time I was permanently re-

stored to good health.”

An Expert on Silver.

The writer of the City article in The Standard of the 4th ult. wrote: The re- covery in the Silver Market has proved of short duration. Dealers have by no means come to the conclusion that the proposed Conference on the Currency Question in Mexico or in the East will not take place, but, until fuller details are forthcoming concerning the lines of such a Conference, there seems to be reason for supposing that any attempt to fix the value of the Mexican dollar artificially would lead to a deprecia- tion rather than an appreciation of the white metal. Should some scheme be contemplated for limiting the output itself, thore is, of course, a greater possibility of steadiness, but the difficulty of such an operation is so generally recognised that for the moment it is not seriously consider.

The Delayed French Mail.

The Singapore Free Preas of the 5th inst, says :-The M. M. Sydney arrived this morning about thirty-six hours late. It appears that on the run between Colombo and Acheen Head the bearings of the con- necting rod became heated, and it was found impossible to proceed till time had been given for the bearings to cool and for temporary measures to be taken. In all, tlie matter lasted some fifteen hours or so, the rest of the delay being the natural out- como of exsier steaming after the occurr

ence. The damage done was not sufficient

to occasion any repairs here, and the vessel leaves for Saigon this afternoon.

At the present moment, politics at home seem bound up in the doings of Mr Chamberlain, and there is to be found hardly dissentient voice- as regards the wisdom of the principles he has enunciated on his South African mission.

Needless to say all the genuine notes were immediately cashed, whilst the forged notes, of which, we understand, under $40 worth have been presented, were stamped for gery and handed back. The imitation of the genuine note is a very clumsy one and nobody but the veriest ignoramus could be decived by it. The Police were on duty at the Bank during the day, but their services were not required.

Yesterday evening a Japanese, who Hongkong, was arrested by a shopkeeper described himself as having come from

in North Szechuen Road and taken to Hongkew Police Station on the charge of having attempted to pass a spurious 85 noto. On being searched at the Station he false $5 notes on the H. & S. Bank and was discovered to be in possession of five

three of the Imperial Bank counterfeits. A formal charge was laid against him at the Japanese Consular Court to-day, and he was remanded in custody of the Jaan- ese authoritis. It is confidently expected that the arrest of this man will lead to the discovery and breaking up of the gang of forgers who have been flooding, the East with these spurious imitations of bank notes and causing so much trouble here and at other ports in China and Japan.

Hongkong Tides. The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis

of observations taken by means of an au- tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet

3 inches below mean sea level.

To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
