great deal of smuggling. The presence of a steamer would prove a valuable object lesson to the natives, but. the presence of a handful of foreigners employed by the Emperor to collect his revenues will not seem to them a very. different state of things from what now exists, For my own part I doubt whether there is so great opposition to the coming of steamers as has been generally upposed. Much that does exist would soon die away when the greater advantages of travel and traffic were made evident. It is the emptiest opposition which usually makes the greatest noise.

On the 30th of March, Jacob Mollmann, for 25 years a well-known calporteur of the British and Foreign Bible Society, passed away.

He fell ill while away on a journey, but fortunately was, able to reach a mission station, where kind hands ministered to him during his last hours

From Shantung I learn that the people there are suffering from drought, and that in the Yellow River the Spring freshets have not yet put in an appearance, there being only two feet of water in some parts, notably at Wuling-foo, so that the French Syndicate dredgers, drawing four feet, cannot get into the river to proceed with the dredging.

CHUNGKING.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
May 19th, 1890. And so the Convention has been signed open ing Chungking as a treaty port! To think that after the travail of all these years there should be brought forth only this! That no one of our little foreign community is especially elated need cause litile surprise. We shall be as isolated as ever. Our mail wül reach us no sooner, An average of a month must still be consumed in travelling from Ichang to Chungking, Our goods must still come by native boats and be exposed to heavy risk of damage or total loss, Our valuable lives-valuable at least to the pos sessors--will still be exposed to as great dangers as ever. Perhaps we shall be thought ungrateful, and no doubt we are. To be ungrateful, as well as to err, is but human. Doubtless we ought to be thankful for small favours, trusting that greater will follow. The fact is, however, if it must be confessed, there are those who have the temerity to question the wisdom of the whole arrangement. They regard it as a needless surrender to pig headed obstinacy and ignorant obstructiveness, A little more firmness in the matter, and steamers might have been running to Chungking for the last two years. If the Governor-eneral should chuckle a bit over his success in heading off the foreigner, could anyone blame him? Following is a translation of his proclamation which has been displayed at the Taotai's ynindo here for the last week:-
The border difficulty between China and Korea at the Yalu River, to the north-east in Kirin, bas every prospect of a amicable settle. meat Messrs. Kinder, Cox & Co.'s surveying journey will turn out, I believe, to be labour in vain. I am not sanguine about the idea of laying a railway throughout Kirin. If the building of the line through Hupeh was not feasible across the hillocks of Hupch, how much less will it be over the hills and through the forests of Kirin. it is easy enough across the plains of Shingking. but where is the money to come from, when for want of funds (tacls two millions) the railway, from Tientsin to Tungchow fell through? China cannot raise this amount by herself, nor even the Tls. 65,000 to work their Western Hill coal mine. The same can be said of the Chinap-fu mines, where the prices per catty of coal has risen-to-ten-cash, or per ton Tls. 14,60.. The Chinan-fu coal mines are only to from the town.
From Hupeh I hear that His Excellency Chang Chih-tung has not as yet found the necessary coal and iron fields, as proposed by him last year, simply because the coal and iron beds are too far apart; therefore it can he said with good reason that after all Li Hung-chang is likely to have his own way with railways, and that the next move will be Tungchow-Tientsin line, sanctioned in 1888, and there is every prospect of an early beginning with it. Want of money is the only obstacle at present.
