.
London has ceased prices there have fallen fully 20 per cent, for all teas under 1/o per tb, and many Teas costing Tis. 15 to 24 here are losing 3 to 5 tacs à picul. Deliveries too have decreased, to the lowest point known, say 5 million pounds of China congou for the month of December,
Preparations are already on foot for making one of the largest first crops on record. In the Kecnich districts alone some 20 new curing hongs have been arranged for. In Ningchow there is not a curing hong to be had, and in Kiukiang all available places have been secured some time since. I have no accurate informa- tion from the Hankow districts, but the best- informed natives assure methat they will not be behind their Kiuklang competitors in their efforts. This is sufficiently alarming, and results will probably be disastrous unless we can impress upon the natives the absolute necessity of improving the article. The commonest tea. shipped could be and should be much above the present standard. That. China tea and especially good China tea has still a strong hold, upon the tastes of all consumers' is aŭ undoubted fact, but it must be good to hold its own against Ceylon and India. The perishable nature of the raw leat prevents foreigners from taking the curing into their own hands at o distance from the producing districts, as silk is done in the lately established filatures, but some- thing may be done by continually impressing on the native the necessity of improving his leas. Their aim should be to make small chops, and make them well, rather than brlog to market the gigantic quantities of ill-conditioned stuff which now often pass as a chop, and which give dissatisfaction to every one. The climate of
China is not so bad, but that careful storage leaf and proper anipulation would overcome all difficulties.
The Chinese have the finest raw leaf in the world to work on, and it is only their own cupidity. and deareness that prevents them from making the finest tea in the world. The ordinary profits are so small that a native would sooner make 1000 piculs on the chance of gaining a quarter of a tael a picul on it, than make a small chop and make it as well as it is possible to do. Of cour e a year like last year when they made Tls. 7 to Tls, 20 a picul profit on large chops will miliate against their making small good chops this season, but we may warn them, however, without prophesying that ruin stares them in the face unless they make their leas very very good. A large crop badly made will do more harm to makers, and shippers of China tea than can be repaired in two or three favourable
seasons.
· BRITISH NORTH BORNEO.
SANDAKAN, 1st Jan, 1689., The amount received by the Land office during 1888 is said to be $100,000 and the lands sold during the year amount to 152,000 acres. The price of land was raised on the 17th July to two dollars per acre and was again raised on the 12th December to three dollars per acre. We gather from the prospectuses of the many com- panies that have been formed, that the price obtained for land at second hand has been about five dollars per acre.
The number of Tobacco, catates, large and small, planted during 1888 was six, and the number to be planted in 1889 is said to be sixteen. Mr. Christian's Liberian Coffee estate has been added to during the year, and Mr. Lennard is now opening a Coffee estate on the Benkoka River, above the launch limit and op very fine soil. The East Borneo Company are opening à pepper plantation on the Kina- batangan.
The steamer Memnon arrived on the morning of the roth ultimo, bringing the Rev. W. H. Elton, who has been at Labuan' for a few days, and Mrs. Elton and family who have just arrived from Europe. In the afternoon Mr. Elton, accompanied by bis Chinese catechist, walked out to the principal Hakka Settlement
visit the Christian community there, a walk of some ten miles. Mr. Elton, we are informed, was highly pleased at having a congregation of thirty-five people, who came together at very short notice, and be baptized four children after the service.
Work in progressing rapidly on the Borneo Company's Estate on the Kinabatangan River, which they have named Melapi Estate, and communication with Sandakan and transport of coolies and material is much facilitated by the new launch, the Melapi, which was brought down from Hongkong by the Mamnion on her 1st trip. Roads have been made, and clearing is going on. General shops have been opened, and the coolies can supply all their requirements without leaving the Estate. Mr. Schuit is in charge ofthe Tobacco Estate, and Mr.Mitchelson, a well-known Straits planter, is opening a pepper plantation on the same property. The large number of coolies employed on thetwoplantations are all well housed, and looked healthy and contented, and the Manager's houses are now being erected.
The Koyah Estate is being opened by the Manager of Melapi until a Manager is appointed. This estate is some twenty miles above Melapi, and will be planted with tobacco next year.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY,
on the 19th. Mr. Elon will in fature visit Labuan at regular intervals to administer the Sacraments. Service is still held regularly every Sunday in the Church by His Excellency the Governor.

indicated the ground was fringed with thick bush, and portions of the force would have had to extend into it. Yet with the risk, no doubt, of a heavier mortality return on our side, I think there would have been the corresponding great gain of wiping out nearly the whole horde of invading Dervishes, Jaaleco, Bagares, and Dangalese from the banks of the Nile. An assault from our left would have forced the enemy to escape by way of Handoub, and put them for a longer period under the withering fire of cannon, machine guns, and rifles 'from our lines and farts.

THE VICTORY AT SUAKIN.
The Daily Telegraph special correspondent telegraphed the following account of the defeat of the Arabs by the British and Egyptian troops under General Grenfell
SUAKIN, Dec. Zoth, (11.30 A.M.) It was with comparative ease and dashing rapidity that General Grenfell's troops this morning stormed the enemy's trenches and about six o'clock and took up a position behind redoubt. Our force marched out from Suakin the Shasta and Gemeiza forts and the connecting curtain between them. These works are also occasionally known as the Right and Left Water Forts, and are close by the wells.
Before seven the Black battalions fillowed the cavalry into the open, passing between the Handoub Fort and the Shaata, out of range of the Arab fire from the trenches. The Scottish (King's Own) Borderers and the Welsh Regi mente lined the embankment from the Shnata to the Gemeiza Forts, Kitchener's Blacks, com prising the roth, gth, and part of the 12th battalions, in the order named, turned to the westward about geven o'clock, taking the rebel. trenches on the dank and rear. Meanwhile a very heavy fire was maintained by our forts and troops lining the works to keep down the enemy. At the same time her Majesty's ship: Racer was also delivering her too-pounders; while the Blacks steadily advanced, moving in five long lines, each two deep. They preserved good formation over rough and broken ground.
be forgotten that to a very considerable extent he was dealing with a more or less unknown quantity, namely, the actual fighting powers of the new Egyptian army. After the behaviour of his troops to-day, tested under most trying circumstances, the Sirdar cannot but fee) jisti proud of their prowess. Their drill and discipline reflect great credit upon him and all else con
cerned therein; for it has made them easily a
match for more than their own number of
Dervishes, who are, the fiercest fighting men 7 know of in three continents,
If the military are not again controlled and checked in the discharge of their duties by Government, then the Sirdar will take his troops to Handoub and afterwards to Tokar, and thoroughly clear this region of the Dervishes. The direction of military operations of any kind by Parliament is bad, bul it is only a lesser evil when attempted by the Administration, as was the case here in the first and second Red Sca tittoral campaigns. From all accounts the local tribes are now tired of Osman Digna and his fanatical followers, and would gladly keep them out of the country once they were driven away. To-day I did not see twenty Hadeadowas among the rebels, either dead or living. There were a few black staves, however, belonging to the scahoard region,
from
Raweiyat, and was badly wounded in the knee,
One stout young fellow who came I got in alive-no slight task, for the blood of our Blacks was up. Let me hasten, in justice, to them,, to state, that to-day we have taken ten times more prisoners alive than ever before in any of these battles from El Teb to M-Neill's Zareba.
Now for the fighting. Last night was a parti- cularly lively one around the Suakin lines. Of and on for two years put the game of war has swayed with varying luck around this the well- named town of evil spirits of devils-in Arabic, Suakin.
About five yesterday afternoon, which was earlier than customary, the buglers in the outer and inner forts, from Arab to Fort Handoub, sounded "cease fire." Afterwards the calls were also made for "dinners" and "prayers," the.| object of all this on our part being to give a chance to any deserters from the enemy to come in. We had been told there were many who would bolt from Osman if they got a fair chanco, When within two. hundred yards of the Arab for the wretched life they were leading had rifle-plis, trenches, and redoubts, with which the broken their spirits and their faith in Mahdism, face of the desert was thickly honeycombed, they Only two or three, however, crept into our lines. halted, and, lying down, opened a sharp rifle. Small wonder, for the deserter from the rebels fire upon the foc, The Arabs, in considerable lines had not only to run the risk of the fury and numbers, showed their usual hardihood, and fire on his own side certainly, but the very great hurried to the corner of the threatened position. danger of being "polted" as he came our way With the same steadiness as they had shown by perfervid Black or Egyptian thirsting for from the first, and which they displayed to the safe prey. last, the Blacks finally rose and went straight The "cease firing" call was accepted, as has ahead, and rushed the trenches. Most of the been the case since the arrival here of the British enemy did not stay to meet this assault, which in good faith, by the enemy, and they at once was delivered with the bayonet, but made slowly could be seen clambering out of their trenches off to other works in the rear.

The enemy's where these had been damaged by our terrible works were very extensive and well placed. shell fire. In many campaigns I have seen these unauthorised fruces between combatants civilised and barbarian. The phase is new in Dervish character, and proves, it anything, that Mahdisin is settling into a form of Government and has ceased to be a mere epidemic of virulent fanaticism. Sentries and videttes of opposing armies have been often known to exchange pro- visigns, drinks, and, tobacco, and to give one- another fair warning when fighting was going to Soudanese Arabs have not got quite so far but begin, so that each side might take cover. I note in these signs that they are getting on in that direction.
Our Cavalry, who were out several miles to the right, swung round to the left, and pursued the fugitives. The Arab force consisted of 100 cavalry and 1,300 foot, mostly belonging to the Jaalm and Baggara tribes. Their horsemen, however, were unable to get together. Our mounted infantry and the ibres of the zoth Hussars did great execution, and kept close to the retreating foe. Two troops of the 20th Hussars charged forty of the Arab horse, who retired across a small Khor, which the Hussars had not seen, and they dashed right into the ravine. For a brief space this checked their headway, and the rebel horse and foot made = spirited stand. A hand-to-hand mélée ensued, in which four of our troopers were killed and one wounded. The Hussars thereupon retired for a short distance, reformed, then charged again, and the enemy broke and fled.
