The Resident-General compli- mented him on his courage and promised to recommend the acceptance of the submission. The aco followers, who were nearly all armed with repenting rules, together with lances, dag- gera, &c., have been escorted to another part of the country. Another chief, Tien Duc, is shortly expected to accept the inevitable, and submit. The column which compelled Tich to do so has been disbinded, and the leaders are to be deco

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1889.

A considérable quantity of rice has frequently been sent up country lately, consequently the price here is still high. On account of the late troubles, many large fields have been left un- attended by the owners, so that the usual supply of their own growing is very short. We believe, the troops, which nuinber over 3,000 men, who are still up in the country, will greatly assist in devouring the small supply the people have for themselves.

It is reported that over Tls. 10,000 are extorted from the rich people for precession purposes every year, and as this sum is shared by the various dealers in materials that are generally used for the ceremonials, business has, since the Viceroy put a stop to them, been very dull. Those who suffer most are said to be the torch

light, drums, and other bearers, who are roughs, vagabonds and incendiaries. Undoubtedly they will this year fall back with more energy to their legitimate professions.

The wretched state of the roads from Peking to Tientsin makes the Peking correspondent of the Kwang pae long for the completion of the Tientsin-Tungchow Railway. The complaint concludes with the statement that owing to the execrable condition of the roads, news is delayed three or four days.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th inst, several persons attired as respectable trades men knacked at the d or of a house situated in one of the most crowded streets in Canton, Upon the doors being opened the men made a rush inside, and having bound all the inmates made away with money and jewels amounting to a considerable sum.

The death of Kung-t'ane, ex-Military Governor of Heh-lung Kiang, on his way to take up the post of Tsiang-kun nt Hangchow, much affected the Emperor, and his son, who was second class assistant Secretary in the Board of Punishments at Peking, has received a promation in recogni- tion of his late father's merita,

H. E. Kung the late Military Governor of Met Lung Chiang, who died of dysentery at Tientsin on the 4th instant, was sixty-two years old. He was a son of the Imperial Commissioner Ki-shen (hi-shan), who, after filling the posts of Governor-General in the Provinces of Chihli, the two Kiang, and the two wang was met by the Abbé Huc in Tibet. H.E. Kung-tang, after filling various metropoli. tan offices, was, appointed Tartar General nt Hi-un in Sheosi and commanding General at Wu-lu Mu-chi.

It appears that, instigated by from Government! the woman, the lover, under the pretence of procuring work for the husband, and by the aid of a kinsman, inveigled him into a boat one night and rawing their victim across the river towards Honam, shoved him over. board into the river. The following day the woman, with her paramour and bis accomplice, tried to take passage for Hongkong by the stenter Fatshan, when they were arrested by Yamen runners, acting on the information of a lule hoy who had helped the assassins to row the boat on the night of the murder.

|

In this connection I may state that as far back as 1884 the eminent firm of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. established a branch in this country; ran a steamer between Shanghai and Chemulpo; commenced to work some old mines, and even went to the expense of mooring a hulk in the inner harbour at Chemulpo. This was all done without fuss or blu ter of any kind. Suddenly, however, a change came. In one single day Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co's agent-Mr. Brodie A. Clark, his servants, the bulk, the miners (Chinese) and mining engineer, and the steamship Nanzing all left Korea To this day they have not returned,

Of course this sudden exodus of the greatest mercantile firm in the world from such a benighted country led to all sorts of rumours. The sum and substance of public opinion was to the effect that the big firm had been hum- begged by the Korean Government. I concur in this opinin, knowing well how this impotent 10-called Government habitually trifles and After the abortive rising at Chang-hwa, the reason, we may be sure that Messrs. Jardine, breaks faith with almost every one. Whatever Formosa, the Kagée. magistrate captured one after the other two leaders of the rebels, tamed

On account of this, it is said that the Hai-chan and Prince Chun, with the aid of Baron von Ketteler are arranging to have three engineers come out from Germany, with, and under the direction cf.
