A STARTLING CHARGE,.

The Chinese Times makes the following simost- incredible charge in an article on the Yellow

River -

Much as has been wri ten about the Yellow ST. River and its embinkments, there is one feature. of vital importance which, so far 21 we know, bas never been distinctly pointed out, and to which it seems well to invite the alt-ation of the public before the commencement of another flond season.

It may perhaps startle the readers of The Chinese Times to be told that, so far as Shantung is concerned, for we have ro intimate acquaint- ance with the state of the river and its banks in Honan where it broke out two years ago—there is reason to think that the awful ravages of the past few years were due to the resistless fury of the aising waters assisted by the hand of man; that at least 95 per cent. of the damage was preven tible, at a moderate outlay on the part of the government, without calling in foreign aid or

that, in a word, it is an open question whether the frightful havoc of the whole nine years by which so many thousands of lives have been acri- ficed, which has extended to perhaps one-third of the whole area of the province, which has brought starvation to the doors of several millions of people, and, in addition to foreign charity (which indeed has been comparatively insignificant), has cost the government, in river works and relief money, many millions of taels, has not been brought about as its Immediate occasion by human agency: Yet it is by no means unlikely that this may turn out to be the melancholy truth. While waiting for fuller light on the situation we can only call attention to certain unquestionable facts and to sinister rumours, well known to the Chinese, which point definitely to this conclusion.

THE "MELPOMENE"

The situation is not only one of dreadful peril and suffering, but also one of awful temptation, Here are hundreds of thousands of people whose very lives may depend upon opening the bank which has cost so much to erect, thereby reduc- ing the level of the water by which they are sure having arrived, Consignees of Cargo are hereby rounded. The inference too obvious. But it is apt a matter of mere inference. It is well-informed that their Goods, with the exception of known to the Chinese that minor embankments opium, are being landed at their risk into the elsewhere have been, and the main one,the Godawas known as The Hongkong Wharf and protective embankment on the south of the river Godowns, Wanchai, whence delivery may be

obtained. which was reported to have broken last year in July, was opened by the people. Whether previous breaches were similarly caused can only be matter of surmise.

TIENTSIN.

July 12th, 1893, Baron yon Seckendorff has, we are pleased to leam, been promoted to full Consular rank, and has been definitively appointed H.I.G.M. Consul for Tientsin, where we are selfish enough to hope he may long remain:

The ratifications of the Sikkim Treaty are now, we understand, on their way to England, Mr. Acheson, of H.LM Customs, carrying the document to Shanghai and Mr. A. H. Harris thence to England.

We hear that the ball-year's working of the Taku Tug and Lighter Company, Limited, has been most successful, a dividend of 5 per cent, being declared for the half-year ended 30th June; at the same time the very satisfactory balance

of about Tis,30,000 is carried forward.

The tide rose to 17 feet on the Taku Har on the 8th which is so far as we have beard un- precedented; and during neap tides too.

H. M. S. Firebrand left her moorings on the 7th, and anchored half way down the Tientsin Reach, where she remained till near noon on the 8th. Then taking advantage of the extraordinary tide caused by the easterly gals in the Golf which gave 1tft. Sin in the Tientsin Reach, she made her way gradually to Tongkut. She bad very dirty weather for her passage down, and experienced more than ordinary, difficulties in keeping clear of junks which were lying across the river. The Municipality sent the Band to the Bund, and as the little vessel swung round they played "Home, sweet home."

There is, however, no improvement, in the condition of the river. There was only 7ft 6in. of water in the reach of the evening of the roth, and a lighter was stuck there all that day, while three others failed to reach the Bund. Captain Denison seized upon a lucky opportunity at the proper time, and got his ship over the obstruction during an abnormal fide, and is to balcon- | gratulated on his perseverance.

Messrs. Kinder and Cox, and Wu Nankow who started a little more than two months ago with a party of Chinese officials to examine the route for proposed railways in Manchuria, have returned to Tientsin via Vladivostock. They travelled from Newchwang to Kirin via Moukden, and thence eastwards to the Russian frontler, taking steamer to Vladivostock.

The survey was of course of the most pre liminary character, undertaken with the simple view of determining in what direction detailed surveys should be here-after conducted. The party returned by sea 'because the rains set in early, and the roads would have been impass able

The Survey party has no doubt brought back

a consideratie amout of useful information. The maps of the country traversed were found, as might be expected, very inaccurate; and many published descriptions, even in Crown 8vo., exceedingly misleading. The navigability of the Songari, for example, has been much ex- aggerated.
