GLEANER'S TRIP NORTH:
NAGASAKI, September ist.
For a real charger. ON THE Editor, I have an idea thint "FUTAŠ{I-MARU," the trip Lam now making is
about the coolest and cheap. est that can be taken from Hongkong The Nippon Yusen Kaisha offer facilities from Hongkong for visiting Nagasaki (4 days stop Wel-hai-wei, Chefoo, Shanghai (3 days' stop... and from there all the ports down the coast to Hongkong, the whole trip taking a month within a few days. We left tiongkong in the NY, K.'s Australian-line steuner Futamé. Maru on the 26th August, and, although the yessel had a moderate cross-sea and a fresh: breeze against her more than half the distance, she made Nagasaki in good time, arriving on the 30th. There were several passengers on board, amongst them being some, Australians, who had come up to do Japan."
On board the Butami were IMPORTATION thirty Australian horses, and `on making enquiries 1 found AUSTRALIAN they were consigned the HORSES. Nippon Race Club, Yoko
bama This is anew departure on the part of the Yokabama Race lub to import Australian Cattle, and it is evident they intend to make racing in that part of Japan more than it has been in the past. All the borses looked in good condition; in fact, the man in charge said he had to administer one dose of medicine only during the whole | voyage. The smallest horse amongst them was. not under 15 hands, several being 15.3 and 15.4. The question arises, will be cattle thrive in the new country to which they are brought? Previous experiences have upt proved satis. factory regarding the importation of Australian horse flesh. However, it will be interesting to learn how China and Japan ponies hold their own against the new importation.
Deadband alive Nagasaki is U.S. YOLUN being painted, red" by TEERS MAKE American Volunteers, those THINGS HUM." who have been to Manila and returning home from the scenes of war, The Japanese shopkeepers are making a bountiful harvest, for no matter what shop one looks into "cousin" is in evidence bartering for all kinds of Japanese articles. Many of the men undoubtedly reserve their money for the larger ports of Kobe and Yokohami, but one can well imagine that the passing through Nagasaki of ten thousand or mory soldiers is not merely a matter of curious interest, but to fuctor of no mean impor tance from a business point of view. Taking into account the various ways in which the men are called uppa to disburse their funds, and also the disposition of the soldier to spend all the money he has on hand, the dollars left. behind even, in dull Nagasaki by the American soldiery must amount in the aggregate to a large sum. -
Foreigners in Nagasaki do FOREIGNER'S not seem at all satisfied with DISSATISFIED, the new stald of affairs which
has developed since the com- ing in of the new treaties. The price of every thing has gone up considerably, but salaries have not, and the from to to 15 per cent duty imposed on many articles makes an important difference to what people formerly had to ex pend In the case of the price of cigars for in- Blance in Hongkong à box of Londres can be purchased for $2.50, but here $4.50 is asked. Foreigners are getting thoroughly disgusted with affairs and are leaving in numbers. That, being the case the land of the lotus and chrysan themum will never become the great counttry so often predicted. Before leaving 1 mean to tap a few more white men and will send you their opinions.
OFFICIOUS OFFICIALS:
A gentleman related to me the allier evening an amusing experience he had with an ofclous policeman. The gentleman had stopped to talk to two friends: at the comer of a street, and had been standing there only a few minutes when a.. policeman came along and ordered them to inove on. They moved a short distance. when the bobby again assailed them with a similar injunction, and then went into his sentry-box. The gentlemen who was relating the story to me, said he followed the policeman and penned ilie defender of law in his box and said to him words to this effect; where am I to go or stand? You say I must not stand here or there, tell me where I may con verse with my friends a few minutes. The. little Jap was non-plussed, and after looking at the intruder for a second or two he turned on his heel and went into an inner sanctum, leaving the question unanswered and the ques tioner in possession of the entrance to the bos. Now, it is evident that the Japs are doing nothing but ape the police duties as at home. The policemen have been instructed to move people on," but have not been toki how to deal with persons in case of non- compliance or how to answer the only one or two questions that would be put to them in case a person attempted to argue the right of being moved on. This half knowledge of affairs is what will keep Japan from rapid advance In general affairs-mean, by that expression matters on the whole-it is the opinion of. many, Japan has come to a stand still. --

TIENTSIN, August 28th. The alliance for the time being is off There is reason to fear that between Jung, Lu,, and a recently discovered attempt on the part of the bannermen to dethrone, the Empress Dawager, that she has been so upset is to spoil all negotiations. But this will not, believe, affect Japan's determination to nove, operandi. She can attack Russia through though it will necessarily alter her medus Corea very well, but through Corea and China simultaneously would have been China's whole attention is for the moment absorbed by the Italian question which has again come to the front. Italy has made five demands, only, one of which is however worthy of consideration or seriously intended, namely a railway from Chekiang to the Yangtsze. The others are, 3, A chair in the Imperial Univer- sity (9): 3. A railway to. some mines in the Western Hills: 4 Restoration of inining rights to an Italian subject in Kuangsi; 5 The right to open certain mines in Chektang province.. The Empress Dowager has given the Tsungli Yamen instructions to disregard all their de mands and refuse them absolutely and entirely. What Italy will do in such case is not, quite certain: Quite a party of Italian naval officers are now in Peking, and it is stated that Italy will not accept any refusal. Samun Bay is not mentioned in the demands, but it is gener. ally understood that this point will be seized. generally accepted here that sonje deep reason underlies this Italian move, and that she is in sothe way playing a British rather an Italian gave, as the Italians themselves do not pretend that Italy has a shadow of excuse for what she is 1898 doing. She has no trade, and is not adapted for colonization. We have not heard her name here until the Peking Syndicate came on the scene, and I have an idea that somehow her present attitude has this "Commercial" excuse and no other. The Syndicate is just beginning to move, and within next year much may transpire. sulting Engineer," engaged by Chang Yui-mao Sir Barry Wolfe's representative as "Con-
one, has arrived here and is now in Peking. Mr. Hillier of the Hongkong lank in Peking, together with the British Consul visited the Viceroy on Saturday, and the visit was presu. mably in connection with railway business but I have learnt nothing as yet as to how the ment. I was given to understand however, Bank and Mr. Kinder are taking this appoint- that it would be disputed as an infiugement of the railway contract.
I have not been able as yet to learn anything further about Mr. Detring's appointment as foregn advisor to the Railway & Mining Bureau, ant éven as to whether it is true, though my authority assures me that it is, and that this is a position which he has long been coveting. Some new regulations have just been pro mulgated by the Bureau, forming amendments to those issued on the 29th November last year, and the effect of them will certainly be to prevent any further concessions being given 14 for mines at least. They do not affect con- cessions already granted, only future ones. The Peking Syndicate was fortunate enough to date prior to any regulations at all, and is therefore a free agent in regard to inne cie. In substance the amendments are as follows :---
The Government is desirous of treating all persons alike, irrespective of nationality, and of enabling all merchants to have the same chance in mining, and the reckless manner in which concessions have hitherto been applied for and located prevents this, and unscrupulous per- sons have bar an opportunity of monopolis, ing mineral areas. In future concessions GEFION'S" GIG CAPSIZES, applied for mast distinctly and definitely state the district, locality and area of the mine“ desired, only include one place.
The bubonic plague broke out at Newchwang, or at least its existence was officially noted, about the roth August. Up to the present, that is 2 days, there have been some 6oo deaths, recorded. During the last 3 days there were 73 deaths in the previous 5 days 22 deaths; in the previous 3 days 75 deaths and in the previous 3 days 71 deaths.
