The Irish members were thus left in a great measure alone in opposing the vole for the Irish policy advanced by the Government. They did not during the night receive the support of a single Radical. This naturally did not improve the tempers of the more hotheaded of the Irish speakers, and the result was several rows with the chairman, who had altogether a rather hard time to maintain order.
Mr. Balfour made one of his usual hits in bringing forward some statistics to prove that the police force has been reduced in Ireland, owing to the improved order in the country, below the number which existed in 1870, when crime was at an extremely low point
« Mr. Balfour's manner of argument is too well known to permit his alleged facts to have weight with any one who is not already prejudiced in favor of his side of the question,
The action of the Radicals toward the Farnellites is universally regarded as very small business. The English Home Rulers have organized a campaign in Ireland, in which Mr. Stansfeld and Sir Wilfred Lawson are prominent.
General Boulanger, in explaining how some of the money was used which he is accused of em- bezzling from the Government funds, makes a strange revelation. He declares that he obtained for one night, while he was Minister of War, the use of the notes and accounts of the military attache of the German Embassy in Paris.
These were purloined from the Embassy, and were copied during the night at the French War Office. They were returned early in the morn Ing to the place from which they had been taken, without raising the suspicions of the German officials.
General Boulanger asserts that he paid a Iarge sum to accomplish this little stroke, and adds that his colleagues in the Ministry admit- ted that the money was well expended.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1889. ⠀
that the Rawing directors have given 'advances and payments at the average rate of ten and a half dollars per head per month--whereas every one in Singapore, not to speak of the Native States, knows that 6 dollars per head would be a reasonably liberal advance, Six dollars per head was indeed the utmost we ventured to forecast, but ten and a half dollars per month per coolic--no wonder the Rawang mine could get its pick of labour, Rawang misst have been indeed a coolies paradise, where the happy Celestial revelled on unlimited pork, and sind ingly smoked his soothing pipe after just sufficient labour to promote good appetite and sound digestion.
"It is however painful in uflect that these interesting figures put the directors in a some what awkward position. Until now, the cry has been "Oh, our manager promised us such a quan tity of tin, and, if we badgot it, all would have gone on well, and how can we be blamed for believing the positive and repeated assertions of the manager on the spot?" That was an answer; not necessarily a good answer, but yet an answer. But now we find that if Mr. Muir's promises had been fulfilled to the uttermost jot and title, if every ounce of tin that he promised were ini Singapore at this moment, still the mine would have worked at a loss, and the paid-up capital would have been gone, the only diffrence being that the Company would have been somewhat less involved than it is now, Nay, if the output
of tin had been in excess of Mr. Muir's ashest promises, if it had been double what it is, the advances would still have been in excess, and materially in excess, of the miners' earnings. Now that was a matter apparently in the directors' power to know. Mr. Muir did not hide the books; Mr. Muir was not the only person who knew what money was being paid out; all such knowledge was presumably centred in the Singapore office, and was no doubt before the directors week by week, and month by month, and thus they seem to have had the means to
highest possible returns, and enormously in excess of the customary advances to Chinese miners.
THE "CHINESE TIMES" AND THE know that money was going out in excess of the
MARQUIS TSENG.
"The following note from Dr. Dudgeon,” says
the Chinese Times of August 31st, was handed us as we were about to go to press. He does well to exonerate the Marquis from direct dealings with theindividyal (whom Dr. D. seems to have no hesitation in identifying), but the exculpation would obviously be more complete if Dr. Dudgeon could state with equal distinctness that he himself had no intercourse with the gentleman in question,"
.for itself:-
Here is Dr. Dudgeon's letter, which speaks I take the liberty of addressing this letter to you in regard to the Peking Note in the last issue of The Chinese Times. "I write entirely on my own account. The Marquis Tseng having long ago wisely resolved never to take any notice of newspaper articles, I consider it my duty not * to allow such aspersions to be cast upon His Excellency without emphatic contradiction of their truth. On reading the Note to His Excel- lency, he laughed and remarked that rough pto- ple use rough language, and that in the end it hurts him more who uses it that the individual against whom it is directed His Excellency also added that such writing must be prejudicial to foreigners. No notice was taken of a similar note, and other remarks derogatory to His Excel lency which have appeared from time to time in the columns of both the English and Chinese issues of your paper: The present lostance is, however, so flagrant, so coarse, so utterly without foundation, nay libellous, that I must request you to take the earliest opportunity withdrawing the statements and making an apology, or in some way expressing regret for the insertion of the Note. It is so manifestly unirue that one suspects it could not have eman- ated from Peking, and were it not so palpably absurd and ridiculously inapplicable to our small and select community and to His Excellency, it would no doubt be strongly resented by us. But, fortunately, it carries its own refutation. Not so, however, lo readers at a distance, and to other newspapers in China, Japan, and elsewhere,
who make extracts from your columns, by which means false statements are disseminated far and wide, to the detriment of His Excellency,
I am in a position, therefore, to deny emphatically the truth of both statements. Inced not tell you that we have no class in our community that could be denoted by your expressioon of "low company" and "the scum of the earth. If this strange language is meant to refer to a single member of your own community, who appears to be always at loggerheads with the staff of and the occasionally pays visits to the capital, your paper and with most of his fellow townsmen, and is engaged in more or less mysterious dealings with unknown Chinese, I beg to assure you that he has had no interview with His Excellency, has had absolutely no intercourse with His Excellency, such foreigners as you describe, and for the last month has been in ro- tirement on account of sick leave, when etiquette forbids him to receive or pay visits. The first charge, therefore, of associating with low company" is entirely groundless. The writer of the note does not seam to understand the force of the language he uses-"predilection for low company, the scum of the earth," and his " entourage."
Of course, we do not impate to the directors
anything amounting to negligence. They may have been unavoidably deceived. The manager, or the junior assistant deputy clerk, or the office before the board, or may have, mis-explained the tamby, may have refrained from putting papers meaning of the payments out but on the other hand we have no right to assume that the manager, or the junior deputy clerk, or the tamby (who is, we believe, a most respectable Moham- medan) behaved in any such improper fashion, On the contrary, the assumption, until it be proved otherwise, is that the directors, in the due performance of their duty, made themselves wall acquai ted with the mean- ing of the various accounts submitted to them, and what they have now to show, is by what strange Eastern magic they were prevented from observing that they were paying away money faster than it could come back, even if their manager's most sanguine forecasts had been realised. Yet, as the directors are in every case capable and reputable men of business, they will, undoubtedly, be able to explain the cause of the glamour which blinded their eyes, and thus the shareholders will have, in exchange for their money,
an interesting and romantic experience in the fables of the Golden Cher sonese. And after all the shareholders' money has not been wasted. It has provided susten- hundred Chinamen who are our loyal and ance, and even moderate, Juxury, for fourleen industrious fellow-subjects.-Straits Times..
RIOT IN HAWAII.
A riot occurred in Hawaii on the 30th of July, having for its object the deposition of the King, rioters having seven men killed and twelve It was very speedily suppressed, however, the
wounded. The Commercint Advertiser of
Honolulu of July 31st says:-"Two half-white Hawaiians named Robert W: Wilcox and Robert
failed, as some of the shoals are only covered by 7ft. of water. After ramming at the bard banks for some time the Captain desisted, and she returned to the ordinary anchorage at Pai-tang- kno. Unhappily for our port, the recent freshets have cut out the shonls much less than we had hoped would have been the case, and wo have the dismal prospect before us of a per- manent closure to the entry of "steamers, mechanical, means, such is design, unless The river certainly never has been in such a bad state before, as far as foreigners know. From a Chinese point of view the matter is very serious, as if any heavy floods should come in September, s generally happens from the unmanageable rivers that flow into the Peihow, the channel, blocked up as it is by shoals, will be unable to discharge the flood waters into the sea. In such case a ruinous inundation will ensue. It is very unfortunate, in fact to a foreigner it seems like sinful waste of opportunities, that the Chinese authorities do not consult, for instance, the skilful Dutch enginee's who are now here, as these gentlemen are eminent and successful specialists in all kinds of hydraulic and drainage work.
a
There is a slight improvement in the condition of the river in the shoaled renches and bends. Soundings taken at high water in the Tientsin Reach give soft, and not less than ght. 6in. Ridges form in almost every shoal reach, but nothing.

A traveller calls our attention in a temperate the growing inferiority, compared with former times, of the tables kept by the passenger steainers that trade between this port and Shenghat. While the charges for passage money are maintained at extreme rates, the charge being probably higher than any where else in the world, the companies have made great economies in the allow ance for table money, Years ago a liberal sum was granted to the captains, who, with taré exceptions, made good use of it, treated Then passengers well, and profited in reason. ʼn reduced sun was allotted to, the 'Chinese stewards who, in the manner of their kind, were
rapacious, made large gains, and treated passengers to bad food. Other choppings and the grant, so that now the passenger who should, changes foll wed, always with a view to reduce as he pays so much, be well cared for, gets as rule a meagre fare, indifferent, cooking, and stores of second and third-rate quality. As the abuse has a tendency to increase, it is time to
protest against it. In the end the steamer Companies may regret their mennners,
We hear loud and angry complaints' from 'incoming and outgoing passengers, native and foreign, about the utter indifference of the pam pered steamship companies who undertake to convey their passengers to Tientsin, but force them to make their own way to and from the Nine Forts anchorage. Surely a steam-launch service might at least be provided out of the
passage money I'
We are happy to say that His Excellency Viceroy Li Hung-chang is in very good health, mental and bodily, without traces of his last winter's illness. The amount of work the Viceroy gets through each day in a rapid, systematic, and thorough way too, is very surprising, but does not seem to overtax him. The dulics of a Chinese magnate in office are excessively multifarious, and comprise momentous references from the Imperial Govern- ment and details of a most trivial land, and no European Minister has such a range of great and small matters put before him endlessly day by day. That the Viceroy, who is no longer young, and who has been a hard worker ever since his boyhood, and with black care always on the crupper, should have his memory and perceptive faculties unimpaired as they are, shows that his intellectual and corporeal organisation are of an extraordinary excellence
treatment by the Chinese licentiate known as The Sixth Prince (Kung) was lately under
Dr. Mai, one of the pupils of the late Dr. kenzie, who was at the same time in ater. Mace on the Seventh Prince. A rumour was diligently set an foot, among the high officials that can Princes, and the families became alarmed, gerous drugs were being administered to the Finding, however, that the Seventh Prince had not suffered, but on the contrary was much benefited by the medicines Dr. Mai had given sured. They attributed the rumour to plo him, the attendants of Prince Kung were reas fessional jealousy, and they were probably right.
The Seventh Prince is progressing favourably, and has almost recovered full uss of his muscles.
Frince Kung, it is said, has some organic disease of a nephritic, nature, and his condition is very critical; in fact, his life is despaired of.-Chinese Times.
Boyd, who had been sent at the Government expense to be educated at an Italian military school, had been plotting an insurrection for some time; but the rumors that were current, were little beeded until the movement culmin Hawaiians, marching from Palauna to Honolulu, ated in an armed band of about 150 native two miles, and securing entrance to the palace from which the King was absent, the rebels grounds." After getting possession of the Palace, manned the Geld-pieces in the Palace grounds, and held the place for the whole of the day. A Cha Honolulu Rifles ordered out, Mr. Damon Cabinet Council was called in the forenoon, and being deputed to call upon Wilcox to surrender. This the latter refused to do, and the Rifles, taking Palace, soon compelled the rebel gunners to up a position in Opera House opposite, the "take shelter under cover," which they speedily did by retreating to a bungalow, At twelve o'clock, a number of the riolers were dislodged from the Government buildings, the latter being immediately occuped by the Rifles. o'clock thirty of the rebels surrendered, and the Volunteers took up a close position commanding the bungalow, into which they threw bombs. This manauvre, together with the steady fire sented itself, soon had the effect of bringing Tokis from the Opera House, whenever an object pre- about a surrender, and the rioters ultimately waved a white sheet, upon a pole" and cried and made the rioters prisoners, and Wilcox was "peccavi" The Rifles then entered the place shortly after marched off to durance vile with
is companions in arms. These are the outlines Anting. of the affair; the detalls are of no interest. The Call, referring to the riot, says:
In regard to the other and perhaps, more serious charge of imparting information which is turned to the basest uses, it is equally without a grain of truth this charge must stand or fall «
1 with the other, No information such as in alluded to, has ever been obtained by anyone either directly or indirectly from His Excellency people who are intent upon obtaining infor- mation, however imperfect, or distorted, can usually pick up such scraps from Chinese yamens and under officials here as else where, but no information of any kind has ever been obtained by such persons from.
