THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1889.

a few years ago at a time of great public excitement in Paris, when the question of peace or war between France and China was trembling in the balance, what an outcry of shame and indignation arose in Europe at an assault by a French mob on one of the Chinese Minister's

hut, in truth, without the help of the name of the district on the cani ter, it would not be easy to class the bulk of the teas on offer at all.

In addition to the above first crop teas, the market for second crop teas was opened tšaly by S. J. Speshilaff & Co by the celt" -m "ni of two considered to be interior to that of last year, N. C. Daily News.

text for leading articles all over Europe. Deduc. tions unfavourable to the civilization and polite. ness of the whole French nation were drawn from the incident, and those who were concerned ja it were punished by the French tribunals with extreme severity. Insults of this nature are so common in China, and commoner in Peking than anywhere else, that y are scarcely regarded; they are almost every day incidents

Waence the distinc in foreign life in China.

question, has come to the conclusion that the custom of the port is that agents of steamers may allot or refuse space as they think best for their own interests. The Court is led to this conclusion not only by the evidence quoted above, but also by a statement of the defendant on oath, that this year in allotting the cargo. space of the Moyuse he granted some applicants 17 per cent. less than the amount applied for and that these were the best terms he gave, for the other reductions varied to as much as 70tion? Why should that which, in a French per cent, the average reduction being about 40 mob, is "denounced throughout the civilized per cent. This Court cannot belleve that if such world, be passed by in silence as an ordinary proceedings were contrary to the accepted occurrence when the perpetrators are a Chinese custom of the port, the defendant's firm would ob? not have been called to account by those whose applications were less favourably treated. The Court therefore holds that the defendant was within his rights in the course which be adopted with regard to the shipment of the plaintiff's tex. A good deal of extraneous and irrelevant matter has been imported into the case both by plaintiff and defendant regarding the transactions between the parties in 1888 and the motives at force. The Court is prepared to allow that the action of the plaintiff in cancel ling his freight engagement by the Moyune was not actuated by malice, the Court being of opinion that it was dictated by the plaintiff's desire to make the best bargain in his power for himself and his constituents. The Court in like manner holds that the refural of the defendant to grant space in the Moyune was not because he wished spitefully and maliciously to revenge himself on the plaintiff, but, because he wished to allot space in the Moyuns in the manner he thought best for the company he represented. Thus it follows that the plaintiff's reason for cancelling his engagement last year and the defendant's reason for refusing space this year

are similar.

The Court holds that in refusing cargo space in the Moyune this year the defendant has acted within the rights granted him by the invariable custom and usage of the port, and that if the plaintiff's good name has suffered by the action of the defendant, the defendant is in no way responsible.

The Court therefore decrees that the plaintiff shall pay the costs of this cause, which amount to Th. 75 and $27 (or court fees, together with such costs (if any) for legal assistance to the defendant, as her Majesty's Supreme Court in Shanghai may decree.

THE CHINESE OFFICIAL AT HOME.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT. Some months ago I was permitted to discourse in these colums, from personal experience, on the Chinese official abroad, and I am glad to know on the best authority that the observations which I then made have struck home in more than one quarter. Not that they are likely to have the smallest permanent affect upon the Chinese Government, for if that august body were liable to be affected by newspaper articles it would have been reformed long ago. My only object, I must confess, was to describe accurately, for the benefit of the readers of this journal, what I saw with my own eyes. Whether it was going to have a good or bad effect at Peking or elsewhere did not matter to me a brass farthing, and it is in the same spirit that I now ask permission to say a few words about the Chinese official at home. Orbis surroundings, his unkempt followers, his filthy residences, his quaint ways, and his curious method of looking at things, I need say nothing, because they are sufficiently well known already to all your readers. But there are a few matters

On the ruth, H.B.M.'s despatch vessel Alacrity, from Kelung, anchored outside the Bar and sent in n steam-launch with Admiral Sir N. Salmon, Admiral, accompanied by our Acting Consu); called on H.E. Liu Ming-chuan, dined with him," and after viewing all the sights at the Govern- mental city, Taipakfon, came down here by Messrs. Douglas Lapraik's steamiaunch. As soon as the Admiral and his family were on

board the Alacrity she left for Kelung, and from there left the next day for Japan.

The steamers Smith and Cars, after being employed for a few months running from Shanghai to Tientsin and Chefoo, and finding this a losing game, have once more made their appearance here. The Smith, I hear, was detained at Shanghai by the agents for several weeks until some outstanding commission money was paid. It is rumoured here that both steamers will soon entirely officered by Chinese and all Europeans be board will be discharged; and that they will in future only run between Formosa, Foochow, Amoy and Shanghai. The Telegraph steamer Feeches arrived from Foochow on the 11th and left for the Pescadore and Pilam, with some mandarins, on the 17th

Iti a matter of common knowledge to all of us in the East that the Chinese are constantly soliciting favours from Foreign Powers of much more important character than anything asked for on the visits abroad of their Imperial Com- missioners. How often do they request time to perform this or that plain duty? They are almost invariably begging for something or other with noregard to dignity, much less to fair play. Look at the question of the navigation of the upper Yangisie. Here is a plain right granted by solemn Treaty to British subj cts in 1878. During the negotiation of that Treaty and for ten years subsequently, the Chinese Govern-who, went from Kelung overland to Taipak. The tient had abundant opportunity to contem- plate the consequences of the clause which gave British subjects the right to attempt to navigate the river up to Chungking. But when, in 1887 or 1888, a British subject announces his intention to try the voyage, ell manner of objections and obstacles are thrown in. his way, although he has an absolute treaty right to go if he pleases. And then look at the objec- tions that are made to Mr. Little's enterprise. The people along the river itself might not like the steamer the population of Chungking fight revolt the monkeys along the rive might pelt. the steamer with stones the Immortal Gods never thought of such a thing as going up the rapids, because otherwise they would not have put the rapids there; and so on, through a miserable and contemp- tible round of shifts and evasions. One compendious answer to them all is," You should have thought of this before you made the Treaty." Tu as voulu, George Daudin. But fancy the Government of an Empire like China, an empire which is supposed to be one of the great Powers of the earth, pleading in the face of the world to a foreign envoy and a foreign subject, that it cannot carry out its solemn treaty engagements because it is afraid of the mob of a single city and of the turbulence of a few hundred orthousand boatmen and trackers. No doubt if the Chinese Government knew that a demand for heavy compensation for this outrageous disregard for their engagements would be made, they would succeed in quieting the men and monkeys of the Upper Yangtze

Then reflect on this miserable Chinkiang business. Here is a flourishing European settle- ment destroyed by a mob of Chinese, apparently urged on by soldiers-whose camp should never have been permitted to remain where it is in spite of the protest of the foreign residents--and its inhabitants, men, women and little children, forced to fly for their lives at a time when the Viceroy of the very province in which the settle- ment is situated is appealing to the foreign nations for pecuniary help'against a famine that is afflicting the country. The Viceroy Tseng bas no hesitation whatever in appealing to the foreign residents of Shanghai, and though them to the world at large, of their charity to help the starving Chincac, an appeal which has been nobly answered, and at the very same time a mab of his own people, aided or incited by some of his own officials, are destroying the property of foreigners and forcing them to fly from bodily injury,

These are only some of the extraordinary con- trasts between China as she is treated by the
