Mr. Little's agent sent in a complaint to the British Consul, and had the contractor arrested Immediately the arrest had taken place the con tractor's men went to the Magistrate and had him ret free. When the Consul heard of this he had the contractor arrested again.

Without specifying de talis, it must suffice to mention the significant existence in such widely sundered provinces us Shanal, Szechuan and Shantung, of great num. bery of mountain fortresses, into which the people make a practice of setreating as soon as a period of lawlessness sets in, abandoning all that is not movable of the bands of pillagers. In some regions these forts on the tops of almost inacces sible, mountains are the most conspicuous ob- jects in the landscape, and in some of these enclosures, we have been assured, terrible mas. sacres have taken place within the past quarter

In the great floods which have resulted from the changes of channel in the Yellow River within the past two years, and in the simulta- neatis famines in Honan, Anhui, Shantung, and Shingking, the Government bas done far more for relieving the sufferers than it did in the great famine of 1877-78. But there are many reasons for suspecting that this relief-limited best is due to what same philosopher have termed "enlightened selfishness," and from a clearer perception, than hitherto fore that, in levying taxes, out of nothing nothing comes When the Director General of the Yellow River, by whose exertions. the seemingly impossible task of closing the great brench has been accomplished, suggests to the Emperor that the only adequate method of dealing with the mighty problem presented by China Sorrow is an extended survey, the proposition is rebuked as 'premature and Enormous sums ostentatious,1

9th September, 1889. The last week has been unusually quiet, while the students have been engaged in the examina tion. The number who entered the Hall was something over 8.Coo, in contrast to about $2,000 last year. This change is dus to the impoverished condition of so many of the districts.
The chief examiner is Pao Chang, a Vice- President of the Board of Rites, and a Manchu The Chief Supervisor in place of the Governor has been the Literary Chancellor, Te Yupalso a Manchu.
Immediately after the arrival of the Examiners, the Governor left for his duties on the Yellow hed River. It is rather amusing to see how the memorials of the Governor recognise only the floods by an overflow of the river. The people. however, are able in detect a few gaps on both sides of the river and in all the embankments.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.). The great excitement occasioned amongst people of all classess by the Imperial Edict of August 27th has subsided here. I am informed that there are good prospects-of-li.Hung-chang's Tientsin-Tungchow railway being constructed before the grand trunk line of Chang Chil»tung, Your readers may rest assured that the Viceroy of Chihli is not the man to allow Chang Chih- tung to supersede him in any way, more especially in this matter of railways, with which, so far, in the Celestial" Empire the name of Li Chung Tang has been more than intimately associated. It will be found that if he does not succeed with his scheme of uniting Tientsin and Tungchow, and afterwards the Capital itself, by this railway, that he will do his utmost. to obtain the Imperial sanction for the Chinking line, which will not only be important as a grand highway, but will also embrace the reclamation of the Yellow River as tendered for by the Landan Syndicate, which was sent up by his Excellency to the Throne in May, 1888, and referred back to the Tsung-li Yamen on June 6th of the same year, where it has lain pigeon- holed ever since. The amount of the tender, WAS In all dels 26,000,000..

On the same day His Excellency Li Hung. chang paid, an extended visit to the French Consulate, where he remained from four to six
p.m.
From Rcking I hear that the Cheloo Telegraph Convention of 1887 has had to be modified and that Sheng Taotsi is to make an agreement upon this modified basis; when this is con. cluded the whole matter will be laid before his Majesty for aceptance. You will have fuller particulars shortly, no doubt. Of course, your readers are already in possession of the intelli- gence of the lamentable fire which broke out in

At the very time when foreign fands were sent inte famine-stricken districts, to buy grain for the. relief of people who were starving by hundreds of thousands, the Government was exporting grain from these snima regions to be sent to Peking as taxes. The people are constantly
made to realise that the collection of the ment tax is the main feature in current

without food or homes, is by no means a safe occurrence. Why was not the river dredged and embankments strengthened daring a whole year of rest from the Yellow River torrents ? Such were the orders of the Emperor.
The Governor has had a remarkable faculty of appointing officials trained in opposing foreigners at the capital to places where foreigners Are located, rather than men who have given proof of Ability and justice. One was specially, commissioned to Yen-chowife to examine into the property difficulties of the Roman Catholics. Another was sent to the district of En-hsien, where missionaries of the American Board are located. A third was sent to Wei-hsico, where the American Presbyterians are posted. And where the Anglican Mission is located. It is fourth was sent to the Prefecture of Tal-an, needless to say that such a method is not helpful

During the late famine In Shantung, a considerable number of district magistrates holding posts adjacent to the regions where thecrops had wholly failed issued proclama- tions neremptorily forbidding the sale of grain to outside districts. This action was taken because- it was feared that the sale of grain, to supply the natural demand in other quarters, might increase the difficulty of collecting the grain-taxi in the in the regions where there was no famine, It was nothing to these magistrates that the poor people in the adjacent districts had nothing to cat and were pulling down their houses to get money to buy food. Considerations of this sort "have little weight with Chinese officials who
have their own living to make and their superiors to satisfy. The vast masses of people driven from their home by the 'utter Impossibility of accuring any food for them- selves and their families drifted hither and and thither, begging as they went. Considerable bodies of refugees of this sort, whose home was in the province of Shantung, having heard rumour that labour was in demand in Sherisi at a distance of a journey of a month or two to the west, bent their weary footsteps in that direction When they reached the boundaries of Shens their arrival made a commotion. The people petitioned the local magistrates against them, the local raagistrates made representations to the Governor, and the Governor in turn com municated, with the Covernor of Shantung, The latter official apologised for the irruption

ICHANO, 23rd Sept, 1889,
A change bas occurred in the attitude in Chi nat-fu. Some time since I noted the death of the wealthiest man among the gentry, and now have to record the death of the most influential of the gentry, and one who has opposed foreigners, both Roman Catholics and Protestants, in one CRC after another. This man is Mr. Li Ching-ac, Hanlin, formerly Treasurer and Acting Governor in Shanal, and afterwards Governor of Honan. Last year one of his sons was degraded; in Kiangsu, and another son died, and now he, too, has gone the way of all the earth. Thus the twomen upon whom the Governor has been wont to call and for whose face he resisted the efforts of foreigners, have retired from service.
