An exceedingly rich vein of coal has recently been discovered by the foreign engineering staff of the Kiangsu Miolog Bureau, at a place called Tsinglungshan, or Dick Diagon Hill, not far from Nanking. This is reported to be the best of all the coal mines dhcovered and surveyed last year by the Bureau, which is, under the Directorship of Hu Chia-chen, Salt Intendant of this province and the elder brother of H.E. Hu Yü-fea, Governor of Peking and Director-in-Chief of the Peking-Tientsin Raliway. Work on all the new mines will begin this year, and foreign machinery and pumps will be provided for them, so that regular supplies of anthracite can be sent to the depots in Hankow, Chinklang, and Shanghal by the spring of 1898.
THE members of the Police. Force gave their

The men who have left and a large party of their comrades marched in fours behind, and the Sentilah music draw forth many "bi-yah" from the crowds of Chinese who lined the streets. Two-steam launches conveyed the party to the Rokišla, the journey being enlivened by appropriate music. After the bell rang the launches steamed wound the mall ship, and what with pipes and drums play ing and the cheers from all sides the scene of departure was a very animated one.

Notice was given to Korea of the fact of the Restoration soon after it was effected. However, Korea traded and hold intercourse with our country only in Fasan, and China at Seoul, and beyond that there was no foreiga intercourse with Korea. When we sent a commen/cation of the Restoration, the Korces Government related to receive the message again and agals. So the Government went out officials to Fusso to prevall upon the Korean Government to receive it, but without success. Meanwhile seven or eight years elapsed, when a Japanese man-of-war was fired upon by the Korean forts at Kokws. In 1876 Counis Kureds and Inouye were despatched to
