SHANGHAI, May 7th. The Tientsin Jekich Sinwen hears from the North-western provinces that large num- bers of Mangal tribesmen along the North- western borders who have "embraced the Mahomedan faith are intriguing with Russian
firmness that these really serious troubles have been, averted and put down before they led to grave international complications.
On Wednesday night the band of the 3rd German East Asiatic Infantry, gave us a Wagneria concert in the Gordon Hall which was well filled, with those who can ppreciate good music, and also woh those who cannot but who go because they feel it is. the correct thing to do.

DISASTROUS GALE IN AMOY.

Writing on 29th ulto, the Amoy Correspond- ent of the New Press says :—A storm of un- usually severe proportions has been raging since Friday last The visit was sudden and totally unexpected. Many trees were: uprooted and' amongst the number a huge banyan, 'several hundred years old, which stood in Kolangsu near the cricket ground, which fell to earth with a tremendous crash, doing considerable

Many foreign | Gisela, left Moji for this port yesterday, the fath indications of intention amongst the tribesmen to renounce their allegiance to the Chinese Emperor. Proofs of this have already been, sent to the Government at Ilsian, which con- siders the question to be a very serious one, full of grave consequences to the authority of the Manchu dynasty.
With reference to the above these Mongi tribesmen should first consult with their Kirghese brethren in the steppes west of Kashgar, who in the latter portion of the seventies also renounced the authority of China, tempted by the brilliant promises of secret agents from over the Russian borders of Khokand, now called Ferghana. Within three years these Kirghese found themselves, heavily taxed as to their herds and cattle, over five times as much as the duties levied by the Chinese authorities a: Kashgar, besides offer heavy burdens. Repentance, however, came too late, whilst to crown all, their principal chiefs were taken over to Samarcand and. forbidden to return to their tents in the steppes. As the chief wealth of the Mongol tribesmen, like the Kirghese, is in herds of horses, sheep, and black cattle, it would be to their advantage to study the history of the Kirghese of the last quarter of a century before taking the ire vocable step of acknowledging the suzerainty of the "Ak Fasha," White Czar.—Trans.

The brigands are still very troublesome in the neighbourhood of Chang Li-Au. Chang, is the station halfway between Tientsin and Tabu: Major Ducat, the officer acting as Provisional Government Magistrate of that district, has to make nightly reconaissances in force. Latterly he was lucky enough to bag 7-but what is
that among some zobo?
Undoubtedly the drought has had a great ceal to do with the organising of these brigand bands, as in the same way it attracted recruits for the Boxers; no rain, no crops, no crops no work, no work no pay, no pay nn chow, and "Boxing" and Brigandage "are pleasanter vocations than star and when once gentle John fects the „gnawings of his vitals he becomes a desperate

The bunelies of single and double Anemones, Ixias, Stars of Bethlehem, Spanish Irises, Gladiolii's Childsii and Lem oinci, Tritonias and Sparaxis, were all very fine and much admired. Only one prize was award ed for all these cut flowers, but it is hoped, that, encouraged by the success with which they can be grown here, others may be tempted to cultivate them and new classes may be opened for theiss on future occasions.
Special mention should also be made of the Cannas exhibited by G. Siemissen, Esq..

The famine and drought in Shensi are awful. It is a daily sight now-a-days to see in the streets and roads 3 or 4 dozen af corpses, seduced to skeletons, of the sufferers from famine, Previously it was the custom of charita- ble men to cover the corpses with some matting; but the numbers of dying victims have so great ly increased daily that even this slight covering cannot now be provided for the "unfortunate victims. One may judge the conditions of things in Shensi, when it is stated that a pigul of rice costs 18,000 cash, and a cup of water 5 cash, whilst one must go too li to procure fod der for his horse.-N.

TIENTSIN.
1 Affairs in the North. (From Om. Own Correspondent).
TIENTSIN, May 2nd. Since your correspondent's last letter Tientsin has been visited by a heat-wave of unprecedented intensity for this time of year. Burning hot winds, and continuous dust storms, make life anything but pleasant, nor does the parched earth, drooping trees and the arid waste of sun baked mud around us tend to remind us of the joyous spring, "Worse than India," I overheard an Indian officer say yesterday.
The Germans at Hai-Lu near Paotingfu got into rather a tight corner apparently, being more or less surprised in a nullab, where their -losses mostly occurred, but eventually of course the inevitable result occurred and the getes. tials retired hurriedly. 1 fear; though, the Chinese are still stubborn, and, there is still more fighting of a desultory nature going oo, than the ordinary person in Tientsin is
aware of.
I may be a false prophet but do not be surprised if there is trouble again in the nearer vicinity of Tientsin," and that before long.
The Court is moving, but I have reliable information fraun Pekin, that that city is not its intended destination.
On the whole the situation remains just as perplexing as ever.
Fifty-six Boxer gentlemen were rounded up near Pekin by German Lancers and brought into the city yesterday afternoon, where doubt less a short trial and long knite await them.
The event of the week here was the railway 'accident last Sunday. Happily, what might have been a great disaster was averted in a great measure by the pluckiness of the Cantonese driver and stoker, who when they felt their engine bumping over the ties, after it had jumped the track, promptly turned off steain, reversed, opened the escape valve, and jumped clear before the turn-over, escaping with slight injuries, the worst a fractured rib. It is grati fying to note this presence of mind and cour age, as if it is a sample of the whole Chinese staff, one will feel more af case than formerly, when travelling to Pekin Al 40 miles an hour in a long and heavy train entirely in the hands of the Cantonese Anvers,
Two Amarican scldier's who were riding in a forward track guarding some merchandise, were the only Europeans injure one sustained a sprained ankle the other, Kennedy by name, more serious injuries to the spine. Some 3 or so Chinese riding in the open trucks were badly injured, 20 being killed outright; the front cars were full of grain, bags, and as after the derailment both engine and three cars rolled down the embankment, the Chinese on those cars were caught by the grain bags and pro- bably suffocated
|
We are looking forward to, the "excellent programine of military spons promised us by battery R.H.A. on Saturday next. Driv ing, Jumping Tent-pegging Wrestling on horseback, Lord-Lindsay, and Victoria Cross competitions and the enevitable. tug of war. Unhappily one poor fellow was badly-injured practising last week, but it is he hoped he will pull through all right.
*We trust rain will soon fall in the north, as this continued drought after last year's dry scason, will do more to create trouble here than anything, and another year of drought in famine-stricken Shenshi, would be the deso lation of desolation.
FOOCHOW NOTES:
·FоOCHOW, 4th May. 11.M.S. Daphne arrived from the scene of the wreck (Sobraon) yesterday and through the courtesy of Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co., the Agents of the P. and O. Company, we have learns the following latest particulars of what was being done. The Daphne brought Sub, Lieut. Cibbs and Mrs. Phipps, 3 infants and amah who go forward in the "Haima 10- morrow, and Mrs. Hunt, infant and amah and Mrs. Sharman who go back to Shanghai per Haeshin on the 7th instant. Several oppor tunities had been given the remaining, wrecked passengers for getting away, the latest being the Anping Marn a steamer with comfortable accommodation for 11 First class and 31 Second saloon passengers, without speaking of the officers cabins which were available and the saloon couches, but like the other chances given this was not considered' sufficiently The unfortunate ladies and gentle- good. men were well cared for on board the Coromandel and appeared to be in no hurry to leave. The following is a list of the passengers still on board the Coromandel yesterday;
1st Saloon, Mr. Brock, Mr. Goodwin, Misses Hogg (2)
2nd Saloon, Mr. Ingram, Mr. Robertson, Mr. & Mrs. C. F. Hogg, 3 children and i infant, Dr. and Mrs. Hogg, 1 child, infants and amab, Mr. Sloan, Mr. Frost., Mr. Nasmith, Misses Black (2), Miss Sandberg, Mrs..Horobiu and 3 children, Mrs. Ogreu and 3 infants, Miss Fushe and Master Fushe.

Communication with the wreck is well kept up. The Daphne returns to-day, a Chinese gun-boat goes out to-morrow and another gun- hoat on the 7th instant. The cargo was being gradually got out. The Silk and parcels went to Hongkong per Frene. The passengers and crew are all in good health but lieginning to feel the want of fresh provisions, which have now been supplied them from this port, Shanghai and Hongkong. It is understood the s.s. Ballaaraf is to call for the remaining passengers and crew. According to the latest accounts the Dock party from Shanghai had commenced pumping the stranded vessel with intention of trying to tow her off the rocks; their success would depend on the weather. The launch sent to Sharp Peak on the 25th ulta. to bring on the railway to Pekin, you may recall, reach-up the passengers and mails brought in from ed by the relief force under Admiral Seymour, the wreck by a junk was kindly lent by Messra,

SECRET SOCIETIES IN SHANGHAI,
The local high civil and military officials in the city have received telegraphic instruc tions to the effect that members of the secret societies known as Fu-ya-pine and Wei tien pian were reported to be hiding in Shang- hai and planning designs for evil purposes.

REBELLION IMMINENT IN MONGOLIA,
BACKED UP BY THE RUSSIANS,
It is reported in the native press at Tientsin secret and deep league with the Russians and that the Mongolian Mahomedans have been in that their designs for raising a rebellion have been revealed.
With regard to the above, there appears a letter from Kalgan in yesterday's Supao which states that the Mongolians were greatly excited over the numerous rumours which were current about themselves. Many Mongolian Princes and nobles have joined the neighbour- ing Russians.
·
houses were more or less seriously dainaged, besides other property, and a sampan was cap- sized and the two occupants are reported to have been drowned, the water being rough at hot and cold, and as a consequence of this the time. The weather has been alternately disturbed state, bubonic plague has broken out in Kuangsu. There have been not a few deaths, and fatal cases are reported daily on the Amoy side. It is a general belief amongst the Chinese that half the population of Amoy will be carried away by the Angel of Death this year, as they have received warning to that effect from the idols.

The Russians now have united with the in- famous Ma Tseh robbers (Horse riders) who are very dangerous to the northern traders and have joined the Mahommedans. It is evidently the intention of the Russians to see China in a dilapidated state before letting her off. The writer fears that in the event of the withdrawal of the Allies, Kalgan would not be so peacefuls as it is at present.

NEWS FROM THE NORTH.
[China, Times.]
The news of the fire in the Winter Palace was told the Empress by a Vice President of one of the Great Boards; the Dowager was exceedingly angry, and we fear it will have. an adverse influence onthe mission of President Ching who has gone to Si-An to induce the Court to return to Peking.
In one of the districts of Chib-ti, Tung An, not far from Peking, the Boxer cult is still in full force, and the people believe in it apparently as much as ever. The French have got wind of this, and are about to send an expedition.
Now that the Mauchurian Treaty has been shelved, Li Hung-Chang is devoting his energy to reopen negociations with Russia to secure the complete withdrawal of the Russian forces from Manchuria (sic!).
