SEIZURE AND CONFISCATION OF A FRENCH LAUNCH BY THE CUSTOM'S AUTHORITIES AT CANTON,
..
{From Our Special Correspondent.)
A joint investigation into the seizure and' confiscation of the French launch Sang-li in Lat, 21.45 N and Long, 113 9. by the Custom's authorities on May 29th for having on board chests of Opium, without being able to produce the necessary papers, and us- ing force to prevent the Custom officers from searching the launch, was hell-under the treaty between France and China, 1858, Art. VII-at the Custon House, Canton on Saturday last the 19th inst., before the Hoppo's Wei Tuens, Mons. Hardouin, French Consul, F. A. Morgan Esq. Commissioner of Customs, Canton, and the Commissioner of Customs at Lappa.
in
Mr. F. A. Morgan in opening the Court, stated, that the Customs Authorities bad-only yesterday received evidence which warranted them in believing that the launch in question was not owned by Mr. Piry at all, but wis -owned by a Chinnan Hongkong named Chun Chu Hong and her name was the On Ve, which name still remained on her stern, but on the 15th April her name was altered to Sang-Li which name was painted on her bows ly. He produced the long- kong register of the vessel of that dare, wherein it stated that the owner of the vessel was Chun Chu Hong, and Mr. Pire's name does not appear anywhere as the wper of the vessel, and although she might, and actually had, two separate names painted upon her, she could not possibly be owned by two persons of dif ferent nationality, French and Chinese at the some tim. He contended that the launch was. Chinese waed-and ́ünless Mr. Piry could prove to the contrary, must be dealt with according to Chinese law."
Mr. Piry stated that the launch actually belonged to the firm of H. Piry & Co. andl that she traded, under the French dag and hank always entered and cleared and was recognised at Hongkong as a French vessel. The Ghi- nese name on the register was simply the name of his agents.
*On being questined, by the Commissioner of Customs he stated that the launch cleared from Hongkong on May 2igh but by could not produce the clearance. He could not posi' tively say whether she did clear or not at the time, but he believed she must have cleared before she left. He was aware that if she did not do so, the master of the' vessel was lindje to a fine of $50 or six months imprisonment. The Commissioner (Mr. P. A. Morgan) con tinuing, said he was of opinion that the vessel left Hongkong without clearing at the Harbour Master's Office, and thereford her subsequent movements must be considered surreptitions and regarded with, suspicion, and also con sidered that the vessel was not French owned, as her register proved..
A long discussion then ensued as to the actual ownership of the Hattich.
The French Consul stated that, he was enn- vinced that the vessel was French owned and she possessed French papers, and for that reason he was sitting on the Bench to re present the owners. If the Commissioner still inaintained that the vessel was Chinese owned then he (the French Consul) had no right to be there at all and would at once vacute his seat and the whole matter could be referred to Pekin. He said that they were not there to fight among themselves but to try.cally to come to some arrangement about the matter.
After a further prolonged discussion it was decided to postpone the investigation until Wednesday next at togo am, to enable Mr. Piry to prove his ownership of the vessel, and to ascertain from Hongkong whether the vessel actually cleared from Hongkong on May
29th or not.
The actual facts of the seizure are, as far as I can gather, as follows.
It seems that Capt. Wolft of the Custom's launch Lung Tsing had been under the in- pression for some time, that certain launches leave Hongkong surreptitiously with large quantities of opium and, when in Chinese waters, presumably transfer it, in small quantities, into į Junks. This offices, at his own expense, hired a fishing junk, and place his second officer in charge of it, to watch the movements of a cer tain launch. The movements of this launch' were in this officer's opinion, decidedly suspi- cious, and his suspicions were verified by see- ing the launch dumping opium into a junk: He immediately, challenged the launch, and, as she refused to stop, he fired the junk's cancon across her bows, which not having the desired effect, he continued to fire; this firing attracted the attention of Captain Wolfe, officer in charges of the Lung Tsing, which by this time was about six ar seven iniles away, but watching operations. Capt. Iain Wolfe immediately hastened to the scene under full steam, and the Sang Li on seeing his approach, made off, the Lung Tsing follow- ing in hot chase, and fring a few six-pounder shots across her bows, which compelled her to On Capt. Wolfe's approaching the suspicious launch, some of the crew presented revolvers at him; be in turn demanded them to produce and hand over their papers, which they did after some parlaying. He then pro ceeded to search the launch, and found 17 chests of opiuin scattered about in the hold and on the deck, and evidence of considerable trouble having been taken to prepare the contents of the chests for dumping in smal .quantities, by placing each sep rate bail in a watertight bag. On enquiring for, the necessary papers, concerning the opium, none satisfactory to him were forthcoming, He immediately took charge of the launch and at the point of his revolver compelled the crew to proceed to Canton, where she was taken charge of by the Customs Authorities, pending this investigation.

AN II ANITARY DREAM.
Last night I supped on Jobster, And I had an awful visión,
thought the Sanitary Bonrd Was held up to derision;
ti had called a special meeting To deal with many matters, And all the members seemed to be As mad as hares or hatlers. The President proposed that All his ronds be made of batter; Because his pet steam roller then Could roll them rather flatter) And any starving beachcomber Would never want a bite
1 he added baking powder Just in make the batter light, But Mr. May, the C.M.G..
Opposed him tooth and nail,
He said he thought that such a scheme Was almost sure to fail,
Because he said he'd have to put Sis lakeres on a beat
To stop the hungry public from Embezzling the street.
And Arthur Brewin had a scheme To turn Sir Henry out
Of Government cimployment And to make him act as tout,
To lare the wily coolie
To the bathhouse down the street, Where Sercombe S. and Stewart L. Would bathe his weary feet. Then Chan A Fook arose in wrath, "I really can't agree
To such a vandalistic act- The coolie must be fren- You may take him to the water, But you cannot make him washi; Your western cleanliness, think, Is silly, stupid bosh.
The A.P.C.M.0. got up And moved, 'mid much alarm, "This Board advise the Government To start a model farın
For the breeding of mosquitoes And of plague and typhoid germs To be sold to other Colonies On easy credit, terms."
But Mr. Oslevne said that he' Was very much afraid
The public wouldn't like the Board Te thins cugage in trade;
And pointed out in moving teams That, on Kowloon Lot nine, He already had a factory For packing germs in brine. Next Dr. Clark reported that He'd hit upon a plan For feeding all the city mats On homey, beer and bran, Until by kindness they were taught To rid themselves of leas
And straightway seek the hospital When stricken with disease.
Lieutenant Crone! Hughes said that He thought his colleague's plan
Was particularly excelleni, Until one reached the bran, But after that he thought it best
To make them all enlist
Or else-enrol as volunteers,
Which are the public wished.
Fang Wa Chuen next asked a question, Of which notice had been given, Enquiring why marriages
Were always made in Heaven. The President in his reply Much feared he could not tell; But he'd been told that marriages Were sometimes made in
Just here the boy came and awoke me up and I was unable to catch the rest of the President's explanation. If I dream about it to-night I let you know.

One feels conscious of a very strong sympathy with these fine manly fellows when they are. gratuitously insulted in this way, and a few more whipper-snappers picked up and flung in the road might make them a little more respected.

The previous night in spite of pouring rain a torch light "Tattoo was held and a dinner given, otherwise, the Field Marshal went as quietly, or more so, than he cine.

News from various quarters indicates a very bad'state of affairs generally. The Court will not, f feel sure, return to Peking so long as any foreign troops remain within hail, or any but the smallest guard remains in Peking, for the three men who are all powerful now have much too great regard for their own liberty to run any risks. Moreover the plans which they are hatching for revenge and future aggrandisement can be matured much more easily and safely where they are, and it is ex. tremely difficult for the diplomats to ascertain what is really being done. No one seems to know yet who rules the roost in Peking now that Waldersee is gone. Presumably matters have been handed over to the Ministers, primarily

TIENTSIN, June 6th.

I believe I complained in my last that things were going slow. On Sunday night, however, we had a little excitement which cost two, or three fellows their lives and half a dozen a season of hospital diet. It appears that a house of ill fune, one of the very many which how disgrace Taku Road, had for some reason been closed by the authorities, and four Fusiliers were told off in guard the premises. About 5 o'clock on Sunday evening some of the French, who always crowd ia here on that day, began to quarrel with the sentries and before long they were being pelted with brickbats by crowd, some of whom mounted low buildings. near by in order to assail them. Things became so lively at last that seeing, a man drawing his dick, our fellows prepared to fire, and finally had to do so in self defense, the result of the scrimange which ensued being two French and a German killed on the spot and about seven others wounded, including our fusiljets, all of whom were more or less damaged with brickbats and one stabbed. The Germans assisted our fellows and the Japs wanted to charge, the crowd and pour a volley into them, but were checked by our men and such officers as appeared on the scene. The crowd was eventually dispersed, but French town remained very excited throughout the evening and it was dangerous for a British officer to pass through. The official enquiry is not obtainable yet and cannot therefore vouch for the accuracy of the above, but this is the general account." Since the fracas the French general has prohibited his men from entering the British Settlement and everyone hopes that the order will remain in force, as the French, particularly the Sixteenth Regiment, are a standing menace to the peace and security of the Settlement. Since Monday the body of a French soldier was found dead in the Cemetery Road, having been apparently stabbed to death with a small dagger, and two others were found in the river, shot, yesterday morning. The French are giving so much trouble in the Native City, that it has been. found necessary to authorise our sentries to fre on, anyone threatening them, and other nationalities have been duly wamed.

During the course of the day, we also heard that two estates nearer than we were to "Kloeth, were almost burned up, the burning lava having set on fire the neighbouring forests, which, in turn, had spread to the plantations. An assistant on one of the Estates endeavoured to find his way to the house of the Superin. tendent in the intense darkness and was caught by the flames and so badly burned, that when he reached his destination, he fell in a swoon, from which he never recovered. Very sad was the story of a Superintendent and his wife and family. They started out with a native woman and a house-keeper in a waggon to get to town, as the lava came pouring down from the hill, nearly threatening their house with destruction.
Their course lay through a stream with deep waters. In the darkness, they missed the ford and were swept away by the current. The Superintendent and lus wife were caught in a 'most providential manner by the thick foliage of a bamboo tree which overlapped the waters, but the two children, two little girls of eight and ten years of age their nurse and the horse keeper, were drown ed, their bodies being discovered later, about eight miles away from the scene of the disaster. In all the districts around the mountain in eruption, the Estates were damaged by fire and water, in some places the ground being left quite barren and covered inches thick with a sand and ash deposit.
