GREAT EASTERN AND CALE- DONIAN GOLD MINING CO.,
LIMITED.
Messrs. Lotgens, Elcutmann & Co., the General Agents, forward as the following repart received from the manager at the mlues -
Meant MacDonald, 6th September, 1895. Great Eastern Mine.-The drive north on the reel has been extended to 61 fact, with the reel getting larger the deeper we drive loto the All. It is over 5 feet wide now, without that we have reached the foot wall. We are opening out upon a very large body of pre, and I am pleased to Inform you that the gold value of the lode is also increasing with a softer country coming lo. The afternoon 'ablit on Saturday Jest brought up some very rich pieces of quartz with gold dotted all over, so that our prospects in the mine are vastly Increasing. How far ibis rich gold will last remains to be seen!
Zale Male Shaft-We are busy panting the frame set over the well hole and are gating
Changking. Sept, reth, West China is still in a very disturbed state; the bandit chief Ya-man-tat has now emissarlady for driving. The last breaking down ol throughout the province of Srichano and, many of the cities have hit proclamation posted in them calling on the people to expel freigners, who are said to be the enemies of the people and seeking to pariltion the Empire. Yu-inan
ist promises a great deliverance and even ander- repaid! The proclamation is taking effect in takes to here the Janannie wat indemnity
the beef showed splendid stone with a wider reef in the bottom of the shift than before. We have her roughly spe+king four feet of pare quartz. This will turn out a fine mine.
Rise and Shine Shaft-To bring this shaft down to the level of the Zala shaft we have in sink another 15 Teet, is present depth helag ros feet from the old brace. We have a finerect now in the nuth end of the shaft, but Connol say yet how large it will be. The stone fi heavily charged with pyrites and showsgold to the naked eye. We shall start to open out here in about three weeks.

Since this oc- carred we now hear the city of Ho Chea Sa mailer north of this has been ricted, the American Methodist Episcopal Mission boase bring der< troyed and the Roman Catholla. Mission house being borned down, Mr. and Mrs. Curnow and their children, of the former misilan,have escaped to Chungking in a bost;
The chles of Seth Hoog Hlen and Sul-fu are bath posted with the aforesaid proclamations and the magistrates seem to be quite too freble to prevent this. Some appræhenston la èntertained of an attack belog made on Chungking and Mr. Litton, the British Consal, has apprised Sir Clando MacDansk of the gravity of the station by wire. He has also telegraphed to Ch'engtu to faston the responsibility of keeping the pence on the zatbord les there; but as there is no Viceroy and as the Tartar-Gecasal has committed sui side and only El Tantal represents the head of the Provinciei Gavernment, very little help is expected from that quarter, especially as the ald Lal Tactal is a notoriously anti-foreign official.
Under these circumstances the British and American Consoly convened a meetlag of the subjects of their respective Governments to-day so that lot action might e taken to certain eventualities.
We trust these precautions may be sufficient to prevent any xitack being made on this clay.
The poi tinn that the herd of the Chines Maritime Castoms shall always be Billah wi demanded by the British Government owing to the attempts to east the man placed there so many yearragny by them, “Thero la voi doubt that without Brish support he would now be supplanted by a foreigner and his friends and relations in the Customs scattered elsewhere, looking for employment, surely he will now try and serve his country a litle or at least refrain from unnecessarily opposing their tight and pro per demanda. Of course not! Is be not the servant of the Chinese? Does be not still-China Gastle Cor, banker after powers in every direction possible? Are not the British long suffering people ?

BATTLE OF OMDURMAN.
LONDON, 5th September. The bittle which was fought at Omdurman is
of the century. Finding that Kerreri had been evacuated by the enemy, the Anglo-gyptian Cavalry on Thursday made a reconnaisance, which revezled the Derwishes encamped to lour great divisions in the desert In front of Omdir. man." Attempts on the part the Dervishes to intercept the cavalry provoked an engagement the same day. The gunboat ftilla on the Nile bombarded the enemy's encampment with Lyddlie shells and performed splendid wo k At daybreak on
F.tday the Dervishes, who were estimated to number between 35,000 and 60,000, advanced in a body. shoaling Allah!" and minifesting great enthanfirm. They chanted their war song and carried countless banners including the Khalifa's Black Sandard. Fifteen thousand picked troops made an oblique descent upon the Biblsh left but were exposed to a withering masketry, maxim, and xxtillery fire from the Rifle Brigade, the Second Lancashire Fasliers, the Royal
palnis.
The old facts, however, remain that the convenience is all one sided, Le for the Chinese Customs it fi most convenient, for the merchant other le Junk and cargo are detained for days while paper Inquiries Are travelling birk wards, and forwards between the bead-office In Queen's Road and the stations; farther, the Customs arrogate to themselves judicial func- tions as well as the collection of duty and la have such a service lecated In the centre of the colony is not, only anomalous but the cause of the loss of much prestige to the Billb'Govern-Tuniaklifing Dragoons, the 1 Northumberland ment an the Government of the Colony; dues are undoubledly collected in the cofony itself, by the hinese Maritime Customs and such an Arrangement is not at all d'establei
Soph'stry will not disguise these facts and the public are getting better posted to these matters and will cease, soon, to interate the rediculous pretensions of the autocrat and his servants.
EX-CUSTOMS
P.S. The Kowloon Commissloace of Car toms shoud be at his post, which is certainly not in the Queen's Roid Central but at the princiosi station of his district, on the Jank route to Canton and all places in the combined deltas, of the North, Wes, East and Pearl Rivers. Located there and connected with bis other stations by itle-hone the present vexalious and anecessary delays to junks need not occur, az he would be able to attend to his customs duties properly and leave political functions to those whom they concern. Another matter deserving of the attention of the mercantile community is the fact that after the British Government had chtaled the opening of all loland waters to foreign team iraffic the Customs take upon themselves to rate that the traffic from Hong- kong is not included in that convention, aÏ- though, apparently, no mention of Hongkong in made in the stipulation for the opening of the Inland waters. Merchants desirous of shipping direct from Hangkong to luland towns would do well to take legal advice to the sight of the Chinese Costoms to modify wad anna!! agree- ments arrived at between the British and Chl. nese Governments, because it le inconventent for them to appoint the staff necrusty to deal with the increased traffic and they find it to salt them to confine li to particular rQUIES.
With the Customs head-office In Chloese territory the dolles will still be paid into the local bank and a bank receipt, for the amount, accompany the goods, any bulance being weitled at the station in cash or by a letter of guaranico that any shortage wit be paid; such arrange. meni will not be come to becanso it is con. realent for the merchants, though it will suit them, but because it will be most conrealent for the Customs, as it will rellewe them of the risk of loss through theft and asvo the necessity of such sums being sent back, under armed escort, to be banked in the colony,
Fusiliers, and the 1st Grenadier Guids. Maj» General Sir H. Kuchener promptly swang round bla left and centre, thereby converging a derdly fire upon the enemy.

Many of the Lancers hornos fell through being bampered by tho soft sand, bat their riders bravely hacked thele way through. By a successful move on the part of the cavalry, the male remnants of the Dervishay were inter. cepted, and were thas prove ted from escaping into the desert.
