LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A HONGKONO cricket team, principally composed of military players, will visit Shanghal next September." Efforts are being made by the Shanghailanders to secure a visit at about the same time from a teem from Japan. Should these efforts prove successful, some very interest ing matches would result.

THE Gwan Tong failure, says the Amoy Times, will not entail much less upon the Hongkong and Shanghal Bank. These competent to judge say that the deficit will not exceed $125,000. D. D. Ollia & Co., are also creditors of the bankrupt bank for $98,000. They are arranging an amicable settlement with the insolvent con- cern, but at how many cents in the dollar is not yet announced.

REAR-ADMIRAL Harmony has been appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Belknap in command of the U.S. xquadron in Asiatic waters. He was ordered to bolat ble flag in the U.S.S. Lancaster on the 23rd ulto,, but if that means that he is to come out in that vessel, it will be some time before he reaches this station. Meanwhile there is a talk of sending the Petral ent to reinforce the squadron.

WE learn from the Secretary of the Punjom Company that the two bottles of gold recently shipped to Hongkong yielded 741 per cent. bullion, and this together with its sample of 3 ore. ta dwts received by mail, and the bar of 401 ounces milled at Gubat, realized 5.4.187.88. This is exclusive of samples of 16 0%. 17.23 retained at office and 6 oz. 1y dwts. 116 grains went to London and elsewhere.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1891,

H.E. LIU MING-CHUAN has retired to his beauti. ful gardens in Nanking, says the Skipao. He lives a very secluded life and seldom uses friends. with the exception of his comrade in arme, H.E. Viceroy Liu K'un-yl, no visitors have been admitted. The reason is finess, which confines him to his room.

Exo Mr. Wise yesterday To Sa was charged with attempting to obtain a passage on the Giengyle unlawfully. A policeman found him playing possum" in a Chinese fireman's bush. Probably the Chinamen employed on steamer do a good business in this line. Prisoner yainly, protested that the chief engineer was his friend, and agreed to let him travel in this way. He wanted to go to Singapore. He was fined $ro or a month.

TAPIOCA cultivation, hitherto neglected in Wert Java, has latterly made headway in that quarter face several Chinese speculators have started mills there to crash the roots, which they buy from native growers at rates that enable the former to realise handsome profits. The tapioca flour is forwarded to Batavis, whence it is shipped to Singapore. The Batavia Nieuwsblad thinks that Chinese alone, can make money in the business.

THE ordinary average Chinese criminal seems to care little for banishment. One of the tribe who had been sent out of the Colony by the might and power of his Excellency in Council In the middle of last month showed how much be cared for that by bobbing up serenely last week in the middle of a full-blown burglary, in which he had an accomplice and a watchman.

He was brought before Mr. Wise on the 13th

inet, and sent to guol for a year.

The Emperor has moved to the Nan-nal gardens for the summer. Proclamations have been posted on all the streets adjoining and near the fraperial quarters, says the Hupao, warning the residents against making any noise, alther with musical instruments, fine crackers, wetting, kites, quarrelling or fighting. Special detach ments of patrolling guards have been stationed reand the garden walls and instructed to see to the carrying out of the injunctions contained in the proclamations.

offenders, if not all, have been caught. That they may be well punished is the wish of all who have any regard for the peacefully disposed. There has always been more or less suspicion as to the complicity of foreigners in these pofarious acts, but it is to be hoped that there is no truth in the idea of white men conniving at any proceedings which may tend to the destruction of their fellow countrymen. is too horrible to contemplate. The projection of the railway is getting on towards Shanhal- kuan, but stations or terminal are a profound accres, although we are led to believe there will be a branch line to connect this poit with the norbera capital. We have bountiful falls of rain, the crops are reported to be A 1, and Judging by what has already been done in imports and exports, the prosperity of this year promises to surpass even the bustness of last season which was the best since the establish- ment of the Customs, allowance being made for the superseding of the junk trade by foreign ships and the loss of the Indian oplum Imports,

Ar the Magistracy on the gth inst. Mr. Wise held an enquiry into the death of Yung Teat, cos cobine of Taung Hel Tang, a doctor, at Shan-ki-wan, who was found dead at his house on the 5th Inst. Tong himself was the first witness, and was most obstinato in the bas, refusing at first to admit that he knew anything at all. Then it appeared that he had a quarrel with the woman on the night of the 4th, and went out. On his return be found her groaning and insensible, with signs of oplum poisoning.

The "mother" of deceased, who bought her as A child and sold her to the doctor, was even more. perverse, and lled in answer to every question, though she had no object to gain even if she had been bellered, and the real truth was suff clently manifest-that the woman was tired of her life, and killed herself. Dr. Marques gave the usual evidence, and a verdict of "oplam poisoning" was returned.

As the Telegraph was issued at 5.30 p.m. on the 9th inst. The rumoured result of the weekly meeting of the Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation reached us to late for publication. It is reported that the Directors have decided to pay a dividend of thirty shillings per share for the half year, but to enable them to do this twelve lakhs of dollars will have to be withdrawn from the reserve fund. The local branch of the bank is credited with baving earned a sufficient sums, had not outside losses to be considered, to pay a dividend at the rate of £3 per share. It is also said that all bad and doubtful debts have been written oft, so that the Bank will now start with a "clean sheet."

It was reported at Chinklang at the end of last week, says the N. C. Daily News of the 7th Inst. that a headman of the KolaoHul bad been captured in the city and was to be beheaded. This turned

out not to be correct, but there are two men locked up in Chinklang who were connected with the society. One of them was the head runner of the late Tantu district magistrate, and his capture will probably lead to that of other members of the society. The second man was a messenger who had been distributing some of the infamous placards of which we have heard so much, It appears that the first man was arrested by order of the Nanking Viceroy, as a member of the society, but turned over leaf and of his own accord surrendered to the authorities. The Tantu Magistrate then installed him in his present post so as to became a secret spy on the doings of the Kolaos, Some

of the rioters on trial"having stated that he recently divided some booty, the Vicerty issued the order of arrest, with instructions to the Chia- klang Taoint to decapitate him as soon as he is convicted. A report, however, has been made to the Viceroy regarding the constable's previous conduct, present repentance, and determination to live a new life if spared. The Viceroy's further commands are now awaited.

The length of the new ship is 226 it., breadth 36 depth 18 ft 7 I., draught of water 11 ft. 6 in. AN ordinary meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on the gth inst. There were present the Surveyor-General, the Capt. Supt. of Police, the Colonial Surgeon, the Registrar-General, Mr. J. D. Humphreys, and the Secretary, The Colonial Secretary forwarded to the Board the Government Analyst's report for Jane on the Tytam and Pok-fu-lam water, and said that as soon as possible a complete statement as to the cause and remedy of the whitish appearance would be supplied. Complaint having been made of a smoke antenace it was decided to take the usual steps. The Board adjourned for a fortnight.

Argent and Green. These two men and these two only were executed in Kuangchi Inside the front wall of the Haier's yarifs and thus privately, The heads were sent down to Wasuch and hung on peles in various places. Now it is only fair to remember the difficulty of the local mandarins, The clan of one of the guilty men is a very numerous one. and the magistrale feared a rescue; hence, after an appointment for a public place and hour, the executions took place privately and suddenly, But if the Viceroy and Chinese authorities Imagine that after all the openness and publicity of the riot, justice will be satisfied by this hole- and corner beggarly one-for-one head-cutting, which is well nigh an insult, they little understand the temper of the British re sidents, whose whole future comfort and even existence in this country may depend on the moral victory now to be won they little understand the conditions of their own peaceful righteousness, for most earnestly would wo tale for the future. Apart from the question of deprecate the mention of Vengeance, apart from justice and righteousness, what folly in the first men of the Empire allenating the foreign govern- mente and encouraging rebellion and disorder, further punishment be exacted-a punishment far less, be it understood, than would be inflicted were a yamfa burnt down and a magistrate killed the party of disorder distinctly under- stands that it has won the victory.
