CHI-NAN, FU

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

1st April, 1889. Mr. James has been mising the different cases of the English Baptist Mission with the the Tantal, issued a proclamation stating the Treaty on the points of renting property, and ordering fair dealing. Thereupon anonymous placards were put out quoting the Treaty, and especially the American Treaty, limiting oreigners to the ports, and in addition revling the Trotni for his stupidity.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1889.

His numerous friends will be pleased to hear that Monk, P. Ristelbucher has been promoted to the rank of Consul-General, and is about to visit France on well-earned furlough. The step obtained by M. Ristelhueber is not a mere seniority promotion, but a special recognition of hii valuable services to the national and The Magistrate, under instructions from industrial interests. of France, especially during his tenure, of the Tientsin Consulate. There was once an English official who was familiarly spoken of as "the ableit of our Consuls," and it is a character which might very well be applied now by the French to their new Consul General, whose energy in their service is untiri g, and whose personal influence is in pro- portion to his activity. We wish Mons. and Madame Ristelhueber a safe and pleasant voyage home, and for the sake of the residents, a quick return to China.-Chinese Times,

The English Misston finds everything quiet at Ta'i-ap-fu, and it seems as if the annoyances previously received had entirely ceased.

Some time since the German Mission made jattempts to secure property in a leading market- town near Yen-chow-fu in the" district of Chow- halen, but opposition was roused and the plans checked. Not only in this section of country where Mencius laboured, but also in Ch'ii-fu, the home of the Confucian family, attempts ware made to purchase property, and this, too, right, under the shadow of the Confucian estate, and from a member, of the Confucian family. The uncle of the present Duke, who is largely re sponsible at present for the management of the estate, at once shook himself from his lethargy and instigated a riot. The local Magistrate has tened to send off under guard the native agents of the Roman Catholics and the matter was allowed to drop. Hence at present in the four districts and citles of Chi-ning Chow, Yea-chow Fu, Chow hsien, and Ch'il-fu, riots have occurred against the Roman Catholics for purchasing property. The home of the sages is being invaded, and it is uncertain whether the methods adopted are altogether expedient.

Mr. Reid has just returned from a visit to those same places and he reports the anti-foreign feeling as intense, and that he would probably have got into trouble were it not that he had been previously known by his previous visits. Coming to Ch'i-fu, the uncle of the Duke at, once enquired, "has that purchaser of property again come?" but when he learned who the person was, and what was his object, he contented himself with non-action.

They had turned a deaf ear to our

the American missionaries at Chi-nan-fu is any' different. We think a difference is apparent In the one case the German Bishop secured no sanction from the local officials to purchase property, and was refused interviews by the Taotai and Prefect at Yea-chow-fu; in the other, an American missionary had for two years been quietly pressing the matter of a hospital upon the attention of the officials, and had gained the hewly approval and promise of aid from the Governor, Judge, Treasurer, and local officials. In Chi-nen-fu for the American missionaries to ignore the favour- able situation and not purchase, would have neered unwise. In Yen-chow-fu for the Roman Catholic missionaries to ignore the unfavourable situation and purchase property may seem wise to them, but has already been questioned by the Peking correspondent.

Any way at present there are plenty of foreign cases on hand from all sides and parties, and they need some sort of adjustment, and above all the guarantee of personal protection and right to travel are clearly and imperatively It is also reported that quite a portion of the people in Chow-hsien and Ch'il-fa are without food, but as their wants may be supplied by other natives, Mr. Reid has thought it best not to ask for aid. In fact he himself in that region during the first half of Lent lived on sixiy odd cask, or three-pence per day. He has been asked to aasist the Rev. Mr. Laughlin in relief work, and intends to leave soon.

The Rev. Mr. Chalfant returned 'from a hurried distribution of cash notes north of the city. Mr. Drake is still absent. Others from other places are also employed in the same work. Large numbers of people are fleeing to Shansi, certainly a very wise step; However, by request of the Governor of that province, the Governor here has issued orders forbidding people to more there in the future.

The famine in Shantung is localised. From the reports of those at work in the needy region, the destitution and famine are appalling.

STANLEY'S MARCH ACROSS: AFRICA.

The letter received from Henry M. Stanley has created intense excitement, and its details have been wited from 'England to the leading American journals. The San Francisco Chran is publishes a specially telegraphed summary

which is full of Intefest.

The expedition, which consisted of 339 officers and men, started from Yambunga on June 28, 1887. On the first day the expedition morched twelve miles along the river bank to Yaknarde. During the next six days the expedition marched inland in an easterly direction through a densely populated district. The natives, used every net known to molest and impede the advance of the party, but although several conflicts took place the party did not lose a man. From July 4th until October 18th Stanley followed the left bank of the Aruwhimi. On August 1st the first death occurred, the cause being dysentery,

So far, for thirty-four days, the course had been singularly successful. The party, now entered a wild country, in their nine days' march through which their sufferings were multiplied and several deaths occurred. On August 13th, on arriving at Alosibbia the natives presen ed a

bold front and the party lost five men from polsoned arrowa. On August 31st the expedition met a party of Manyemas and their misfortunes began on this date. Within three days of this unfortunate meeting twenty-six men deserted,

What Stanley describes as an awful month begins on September 18th. Leaving the station of the Arab chief Ugariowas, when the expedition numbered 263 men, having last sixty-six by desertion and death and having left ninety-six sick with Ugarrowas, the road led to the Arab seulement of Kalinga Longa. The men lived on wild fruits, fungi and nuts.

Here Stanley narrates how negotiations with the natives failed; how a detachment of forty persons, led by Lieutenant Stairs, and another of thirty, left Zaręba and assaulted and carried the villages, driving the natives into a general rout. The march was resumed on the 12th, There were constant light fights all along the route.

A. SHELTON HOOPER,

Hon. Secretary. Hongkong, 30th April, 1889.

On April 25th, we arrived in Mozambini's country again. This time, after some hesitation, Mozambini decided to make a blood brotherhood. with me. His example was followed by all the other chiefs as far as the Nyanza Every difficulty seemed now to be renjoved Food was supplied gratis. When one day's march from Nyanzs the natives came from Kavali and said a white man named Malejja had given their chief a packet to give to me, his son. They remained with us that night | telling us wonderful stories about big ships, etc, which left no doubt in our mind that the white ZET LAND man was Emin Pasha. The next day's march brought us to Chief Kavali. He handed me a note from Emin Paska to the effect that there had been a native rumor that a white man had

been seen at the south end of the lake.

"He had gone in a steamer to make inquiries, but had been unable to obtain reliable informa tion. He begged me to remain where I was until he could communicate with me. The next day, April 23rd, Jephson was dispatched with a strong force to take a boat to the Nyanza. On April 29th we once again reached the biyoune ground reached by us December 16th, and at 5 p.to, of that day saw the Khedive steamer about seven miles away. Soon after 7 o'clock Emie Patha, Signor Casati and Mr. Jephson arrived. at our camp, where they were heartily welcomed by all of us. We were together until May 25th, when left him, leaving Jephson, three Sou: danese and two Zanzibaris in his care. Four- teen days later I was at Foit Bodo. At the fort were Captain Nelson and Lieutenant Stair. The latter had returned from Ugarrows twenty- two days after I had set out for the lake, bring ing with him, alar, only sixteen men out of fifty-

six. All the rest were dead.

On June 16th I left Fort Bodo with all Zanzibaris and tot of Emin's people, leaving all my officers at the fort. On June 24th we reached Kalinga, and on July roth Ugarrowas. The latter station was desented. Passing down the river as fast as we could go, daily expecting to meet the couriers I had sent to Major Baritelor, we indulged ourselves in pleasing anticipation as we neared the goal. On August roth we overtook Ugarrowas with a flotilla of fifty- seven canoes and our couriers, reduced to seventeen, who related an awful story of hair- breadth escapes and tragic scenes. Three had been slain, two were still feeble from wounds, and all except five bore on their bodies scars of arrow wounds."

A week later Stanley met the rear column of the expedition at Dunalya and found Mr.Bonney, From the latter Stanley learned, greatly to his sorrow, of the shooting of Major Barthelot by a native a month before, Jamison had gone to Stanley Falls to try to get more men from Tippooe Tib. Ward was at Bangals, and Bonney was the only white man at Banalys. After describing what a wreck be found the rear column to be, Stanley complains of the officers at Yambunga having too readily accepted the deserters' report of his death and sending bis personal kit, medicines, etc., down the Congo, leaving him naked of secessities for his return to Emin.
