CANTON NOTES.
A NEW WHARF,
[From Our Own Correspondent.]
CANTON, January rath, The wharf accommodation at Canton is entirely insufficient for the traffic between Hongkong and Canton. From time to time attempts have been male to secure the right to increase the wharf accommodation, but up to the present time without success. During the past year a man by the name of Ho, by the free use of money and by the promise of a yearly payment of a large sum to the officials, secured the foreshore just below the present wharis, and it looked as if before long a new wharf would be built. The last few days has made it evident that an effort will be made to prevent Mr. Ho from carrying out his intended improve ment. The street ellers in the neighborhood of the proposed site have posted a notice that the building of the new wharf will seriously inter- fere with the landing of goods from the native passage boats and obstruct native traffic. The proposed site is now one of the principal land- ings of the ferry boats which ply between Camton and Honam. It appears that the chief revenue of a temple near this place is derived from a tax on the ferry boats which fand their passengers here, and the notice calls attention to the fact that if the ferry landing is given up, the income of the temple will be destroyed and the gods will be neglected. The elders, how ever, are not confident that this appeal in be hall of the gods will prove effectual, and further declare that the approach to the landing belongs to thein and not to the officials, and that if the wharf is built the sircet elders will cause shops to be built so as to completely cut off all en- trance to the city. This is how the matter, the street eklers, backed up by the people, will stands at present. It is hardly possible that
be able to prevent this much needed improve- ment, though they may delay its completion for some time. The free use of money will in the end overcome all opposition.
MORE FRAUDS IN PAPER MONEY.
I have already written about the attempt by the officials to pass bark notes whose values has been fradulantly changed. Now it appears that these changed notes are not uncommon in the city. Hongkong bank notes are at a premium and the people generaly are anxious to secure them. With the exception of banks, few of the people are sufficiently familiar with notes to be able to tell whether they are genuine
or not. The result is that often the notes are accepted on the word of the person who wishes to dispose of them, and it is only when the notes are presented some bank that fraud is detected. A few days ago a woman accepted what she supposed was a $10 note, giving silver in exchange for it. When she presented the note in payment for some purchases she found that the note had been raised from 51 to Sto. A number of other frauds have been reported. This tampering with notes is likely to continue until they are driven out of circulation.
A FAT SHAN STORY
A nice story comes from Fat Shan. There was a house in a certain street which had stood unoccupied for a long time. It had the reputa tion of being haunted by devils "kwai" Lately a poor woman, who boasted that she did not. fear devils, leased the house for a small sum. Her. friends remonstrated with her for thus tampling the devils. However, she was not to be persuaded, to give op her cheap house. She occupied it for some days and saw no "kwai." One night she heard some noise and looking to see what caused it she sawo white rat. She fallowed the rat, which snun disappeared in a hole. The next day the woman gota hoe and began to dig for the rat. She had not dug far when she came upon some money, $2,000 in silver. Now she says "I had not gone into the "Kwai" house, how could I have got the "Kwai" money? (Hongkong silver which is called "kwai tau," or devil head money.)

AT SHANGHAI.
The Ostasiatische Lloyd Unted Shanghai the 4th inst, gives the following account of how Kung-chao was kidnapped:--
The Consular Body has requested the Trotal, in a despatch, to send in a report upon the arrest of a certain Kung-chao. A copy of this despatch has also been handed to the Municipal Council. It is a question of an incident, the importance of which in several quanters has been exaggerated in a manner difficult to understand. For the arrest of Kungchao, who is said to be a Revolutionary, a reward of Tls. 1,000 was offered. A Chinaman who wished to earn this, first enticed Rungchae in a Chi nese Theatre, and then drove him in his carriage beyond the liraits of the International Concession. Kungchao, was there anestet If this is the state of the case, it is difficult to see what the Consular Body can do in the such Chinese internal affairs and to decide matter. It is impossible for it to interfere in whether a man is sought after by the Chinese authorities is a "Rebel, a " Reformer," or any thing else. This would directly render Stang. bai an El Dorado for all the political criminals of China, and would inaugurate a state of affairs very little to be desired. On this ground it is difficult to perceive why the bral China Association lias taken the case of Kungchao P50 warmly as to address telegrams on his behalf to Lord Salisbury and the London Times.

C. D. News. Kung Chao was told that he was wanted at the Mixed Court, and said that as he had committed no crime he was perfectly willing to go there, and got into the carriage provided by his captors, under the impression that they were taking into the Mixed Court, instead of which he was taken to Colonel Yen's camp, where he still lies, and where we understand he is being threatened with torture if he does not sign a statement drawn up by Colonel Yen to the · effect that he went willingly to the camp. It is possible that he has under duress already friends know plainly that he is acting under signed such a statement, but he has let his

ANOTHER ALLEGED ATTEMPTED
ILLEGAL ARREST.
Two Chinamen, according to the Shanghai Mercury of the 7th inst., were charged with being concerned together in illegally attempting to effect an arrest in the Settlement without the assistance of the Municipal Police, in the Foochoy Road on the 5th.

They saw them chasing the man. The runners stated at the station that they, came to Shanghai about 4 clock on the 5th and they found one of the men they were in search of at 8 cluck. They professed to be ignorant of the Municipal Regulations. The warrant was not stamped by the Mixed Court. The police yesterday arrested another man who had in his possession $400, 200 pearls and a revolver..
The prisoners' statement was that they arrived in Shanghai on the 5th and went at once to a place called Chang Wen, and on the folving evening they came back to Shanghaisi which they saw the man they wanted and gave chase, at the same time calling out for the police.
