Each side of the Yellow, River is marked by traces of devastation caused by outbreaks, though none of the later ones changed the channel of the river, except that of 156. Not only Honan but Chibli and Shantung show constantly recurring evidences of having been inundated in all directions by the mair, Alers of this errant stream, No map exhibits a quarter of the old courses of the Yellow kiver which are known to exist. The reason has been pointed out, but it is impossible fully to appreciate it without seeing the visible results of such an outbreak. The Yellow River is a river of sand and water mingled in such proportions as to cause a flow. The quantity of pure fine sand left in the bed after the Yellow River has abandoned it, is literally immeasurable. Looking eastward from the breach as far as the eye can rench, the whole horizon is one wast Sahara, unrelieved by any casis. Ata village called Yang Ch'iao Chai, twenty feast of the breach,, we were told of an inundation which occurred in consequence of a gap opened in the days of Chia' Ching of the Ming Dynasty which remained open three years and which had to be bridgeil, a circumstance which gave a name to the village. Many such breaks have occurred during this century, the worst being in the year 1844, which must have been only less in, done, the old and f-firm the women and children, will starve during the winter, and the magnitude than the present.

This been signed unanimously although the prin question can be easily answered by the traveller cipal interests, one might say all the British who is compelled to journey day after day and other nationalities generally, are represented. land or property owners, besides the Customs though the deep sand of past ages where the stunted growths, and wretched hovels, speak of the misery of such inhabitanis as are left. The Yellow River istues from the mountains, which part the provinces of Honan, Shansi, and Shensi, in the northwest corner of Honan, and from thence its course has been casterly to the sen, a distance of from four to six hundred miles. There is scarcely any part of the vast region through which this stream flows, from the mountains to the sea, on either side of the river, which is not always liable to inundation, and very little of it which has not actually been more or less injured. The aver age width of endangered territory is from go to 75 miles, but when it opens new channels, as last year, the river is carried into regions hitherto exempt, only to repeat the process on the same scale. By what means it in possible to restrain a river carrying so much sand within any kind of banks is a problem of great difficulty. The course which the river followed unto 1886 is not less than twenty feet above the level of the plain on each side, and is, the only territory in this part of China perfectly safe from inundation. Even this poor land is nearly all under cultivation, and thickly planted with villages, except in the lowest part of the former bed. The late Yellow River, how a stream at most but a few feet in depth to a few inches where it is widest, is full of large salt junks gathered in spots where there is most water, left stranded in 1887. M sled by the diversion of an insignificant part of the "current, many of them tried to restime business last summer, and are again stranded'in incon- venlent situations, with a bad outlook for the future. The harvest throughout southeṛa Chibli, northern Honan, and western Shantung, has been very bad, varving from a half crop to almost or quite hathing, and it is hard to see. what is to prevent many thousands from dying
.of starvation.

It is to be hoped therefore that our existence may not be utterly i 'nored. We are not perhaps of such importance as Shanghai, Tientsin, Che fon, or even Peking where the Ministers all reside, but as a Treaty Port we are entitled to the same consideration as other Parts, and a very grave responsibility would rest on those. through whose lukewarmness a calamity might very well happen. It must not be forgotten that in the event of any attack taking place there would not be the slightest chance of escape, fr we are icebound from about 25th November to 25th March. One or two residents think we need not apprehend any danger, and therefore it is unadvisable to apply for a gunboat. It is to be hoped that no attack will be made on the community, even if there he a gunboal, and we look for the protection, more for the purpose of preventing trouble than for actual defence, As Lord Palmerston ance wrote to á Consul (in Canton, I believe), "The best way in prevent attacks from Asiatics is to shew them you are prepared to defend yourselves," Pre- vention is better than cure-and for this reason we ought to have a gunboal, the fact of whose arrival would spread like wildfire, and keep s Perfectly safe, for it would he thought that the gunboats and jacks are multiplied..
