NOTES ON NATIVE AFFAIRS.
{N-C12D-News]-
A-POSSIBLE - DANGER.. Readers of these' columns"will perhaps re- 'member that the notorious ex-Governor' of Hupphy Yu Yin-lin, a devoted follower of the equally notorious Kang Yi and Li Ping-hông of Boxer fame, had an audience of the Em press Dowager a fortnight ago at Loyang, and that he had been most favourably received by
her. Later news from Honon to band now states that it is quite probable that this react- ∙ionary will be appointed by the "Throne,” i.e, the Empress Dowager, to be "Special Imperial Commissioner and Inspector-General of Yang. tze Defences," In other words, to become a second Li Ping-beng and the bane of reform and the Yangtze Viceroys and Governors. As the advent last year in the Yangtze of the notorious Li Ping-heng was the forerunner of the Boxer uprisings in the North, so it is to be feared that the advent of Yu Yin-lin, a facsimile of the former, may have similar consequences.
THE IMPERIAL JOURNEY TO PEKING from Kaifeng, it is stated, will occupy ten days, or stages, in all, to be divided as follows:-

EN ROUTE TO PEKING.
The family of the Grand Secretary Wang Wen-shao arrived at Shanghai from Hangchow on 15th instant, en route for Peking, having been sent for by H.E. Hitherto, owing to the uncertainty of the crisis and the ultimate move ments of the Court, the Grand Secretary had repeatedly written or telegraphed down from Isian to his family not to leave for the North under any circumstances; hence we may take the departure of H.E.'s family for Peking as 4 sign of the Grand Secretary's intention to reside there for some time to come. This, however, does not guarantee the Court's imme- diate return to Peking; but the Grand Secretary will have to remain at the capital as Plenipo- tiary, representing the Court, and also as joint Director-General of Railways, within and with- out the Great Wall.'

THE RUSSIANS IN MANCHURIA
It is stated from Moukden that the Russian
It is however, to be feared that the Russians will not take nay to their "request.”
For long years there had been diend rumours of a terrible El Dorado to be found by the hardy and the fortunate few in the wild lands beyond the river. "At times the rumours would become so precise and tempting that the owners of legitimate, but by compari son common-place, gold and silver mines on the Russian side could not keep their workmen at home; neither flogging nor police handling, nor even the death penalty, could stop men from running off to tempt the terrors of the un- known treasure land. Few ever returned, and they were mostly crazed by their privations; came back with scarcely any gold ever them, save that which they had seen in their half-delirious dreams. It is on record” that once even a rich gold mine owner, with capital and labour to back be, forsook his mines, and, organising a grand caravan, set out on an expedition to discover the land of gold. The start recalls the stories of early Central' African exploration. It ended in death, disease, starvation, cannibalism, and the retur of not a tithe of those who set off-and they were broken men...
About the end of the Seventies or beginning. of the 'Eighties, however, gold la considerable quantities was really found within easy access from Ignashina, and ere long many hundreds of the adventurous had flocked to the spot. They

It was a criminal offence in those days, and,- indeed, remained so until less than a year ago, to be in possession of uncoined gold throughout Siberia, and the traveller who had bought at what he knew well was a cheap price, parted with his purchase willingly when he met the members of the gang further up the road-glad if they left him enough of his own to carry him safely out of those unpoliced wilds.
