Immediately on the receipt of the news tha provincial high authorities set about making preparations for the despatch of troops Six regiments of 500 men each were at once placed under orders to proceed promptly up country and quell the disturbance. The first detachments started on Sunday last, and these have been followed up by others each day since. General Sun, Kai-Hwa, who, it will be remembered, fought the French at Tamsui in 1884, takes com mand, and jins the main body at Haingwa. An urgent despatch has also been received by the authorities from. Tsung-an, asking for troops to be sent there.

Accounts reach us as we go to press this morning of the attack on the Chin-Chu villages having taken place. Four hundred men were killed, besides some women and children, and the loot carried away was of considerable value.

In early Spring, says the Hu-pag, orders were sent from Peking to the following High Provincial Officials to report on railways-Fong-tien Military Governor, King-yü; Heh-lung Kiang itary Governor, An; Viceroy of two Kiang Teng Kun-chun; Viceroy of Fukien and Chakiang. Pien Pao-fi Viceroy of Hupeh and Hunan, Ya Luh; Viceroy of Kuangtung and Kungsi, Chang Chih-tung; Governor of Choking. Pung Trün; Governor of Anhui, Chên Yi; Governor of Kiangsi, Teh Hiog; Governor of Formosa, Liu Ming-choan; Governor of Hupeh, K'wei Pin; Cernor of Hunan, Wang Wen-shao; Governor el Kiangsu, Huang Pʻing. nien.

Reports from two of these, the Viceroy of Canton and the Governor of Formosa, have now appeared.

The following is a jésumé of the Memorandum of the Viceroy of Canton on Railways -

(1) Railways, which have contributed so much to the enrichment, prosperity, and power of European countries within the last bundred years are at present urgently needed in China to revive her languishing export trade. Recent statistics show a preponderance of imports ever exports of Tis. 10000,000 a year, and steps should be immediately taken to check, the flow of money out of the country caused by this preponderance, by fostering the export of China's natural productions.

(a) Railways are also becoming more and more a necessity for purposes of defence, as powerful and envious neighbours close in nearer and nearer around the Central Nation from year to year.

On the 24th June, in accordance with orders from the Viceroy Pien, two ping, or battalions, of troops, proceeded to the north-western frontier of Fukien, near Kiangsi, in pursuit of a formid- able party of Kiangsi men leagued with members of the Kolao secret society, and amounting, it-is said, to about 5,oco or 6,000 men, who are setting the Government at defiance and so terrorising the people of Yang-k'ow, that they are leaving their homes in great numbers.

The Shen Pao learns with great regret, from an English news aper of Hongkong of the departure of Messrs Kao and Tsuh, the brilliant pupils in Western Medical Science of Dr. W. W. Myers, for North Borneo and considers it a thousand pities that their talents could not be utilised by the Government in their antive. country, where it was hoped that these young men would form the mcleus of a competent Army Medical Departqueit for China.

Bamboo sprouts are a delicacy the mention of which makes the vegetarian gourmet smack his lips. They are principally grown in Kuangtung, where every season has its crop. In the beginning ofspring are the maotus, or "hairy sprouts," at the end of spring the pil sun, or "pencil sprout;" we sun; autumn (ma-mei-sun) "horse-tail sprouts."

(1) With regard to the question of building ont particular railway from Tientsin to Tungchow, the Censor Yu Lien-yüan in his opposition to it seems to be moved by the fear of the spread of foreign religions, of the exposure of the capital to invasion and of the employment of foreign men and materials to the detriment of native interests. But we have not found that the introduction of steamers and telegraphs has been followed by the spread of ideas subversive of morality. The Censor's two other abjections are much more serious. The Viceroy believes in deed that the same prudence which made England veto the Channel Tunnel. should make China veto the Tientsin-Tungchow Rail way, unless she were prepared to spend over Tis. 1,000,000 in special defensive preparations. In the Memorandum of Kwei Jan, the Censor, and his co-adjutors, the number of men employed in cart and host traffic between Tientsin and Tung; chow is about 60 000, and allowing to each i family of five, that makes a total of 300.000 persons depending on this trade for their daily rice. The Viceroy Chang thinks this estimate probably not excessive, and believes that at least half of them would be thrown out of employ- ment by the introduction of the Railway. To come in the number of men to whom employment would be given by the introduction of the Rail way, we find that England with her 40,000 of rails, employs 165.000 railway men. At this rate, the Tientsin-Tungchow line, with its 300 would only employ about 800 men,

(4) A proposal has been made for a railway along the old bed of the Yellow River, passing through Têh-chow and Tri-ning Chow in Shan- tung. But the drifting sand of this country would be a bad foundation, and repairs would be continually needed, causing a ruinousexpense.

20th June, 1889... We have had most delicious rains during the last four days and there are great hopes that the crops of millet and peas will be saved, although it is rather late for the barley which, according to the reports generally, is only yielding half its proper harvest. Sif many famished villages have been relieved by the timely sowing due nearly altogether to the supplies from the charities. There will always be more or less distress in poor province like Manchuria where the natives are perhaps less provident than in any other part of the empire, and thousands of teels can yet be distributed and may go on being required as long as there are supplies, but the Chinese Government might be something in the way of finding A BOOKKEEPER and employment for the labouring classes, Just
