CORRESPONDENCE..

IWe do not necessarily endorse the opinions expressed by

Correspondents in thli column,

"THE NEW TARIFIYY:

The new tariff came into force yesterday, and there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth. as extra duty has been charged on a lot of stuff landed a fortnight ago. which has been lying. and waiting for someɖne to wake up and pass it.".

There is already every prospect that the duties lev.ed by the Akin stations inside the Court Rimits, and consequently beyond the contral of the foreiga Commissioners, will stick on pretty stiff charges, and in some districts, the order. bas already gone forth to increase the duty on certain articles by 30%. The excuse in "in- démnity," but as we know that only the ravenue collected by the Commissioner goes to that -purpose the excuse. is a rather lame one.

CHEEKI

The Taomi at Nowchwang, recently taking some troops to the general's camp at Shinking, came across the track of the Russian railway folks who promptly press ganged his men to work as coolies at ao cents a day, and handled those, who tried to escape, tenderly with a horsewhip,

November 14th. IRRITATIONS, Hastened Li's DEATH.

A story is current to the effect that one of the many irritations which hastened Li's death was the hubub made about the proposal, on the part of the Russians to drill the Chinese troops in Manchuria, and also to take charge of the Chinese fleet So. far as Manchuria is concerned the consternation caused by Li's agreement to the suggestions seems a triße far-fetched, as Manchuria is so completely "gone" as to make it a matter of very small moment as to who drills the troops or whether they are drilled at all.

STIPULATIONS DY RUSSIA.

TO THE EDITOR of tax "Hongkong Telegrafit." SIR-I am glad to see that, in your notice of the opening night of The Empire Comedy and Vaudeville Company in your Saturdays issue, you drew attention to the ungentlemany behaviour of two or three 'hoodtoms' who were sitting in the back seats of the dress circle. The remarks passed by these creatures were not only 'silly' and 'childish' but during the performance of one of the items in Part II the remarks made were as foul as the minds, and probably the bodies, of the utterers. The ex- traordinary part of the matter is that the per sons referred to were sitting with gentlemen.be allowed to interfere with it. How on earth they got into such society is one of those things which no-one can understand A 'Chucker Out' was badly needed on Fri- day night.

Yours, etc.,

ONE WHO HEARD THEM, Hongkong, November 25th, 1901..

TIENTSIN DAY BY DAY.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

TIENTSIN, November 12th. METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.

It is raining. There is nothing intrinsically onginal in the remark, but a rainy day is an event for us between September and June, and we generally record the fact. An oc casional break of this kind helps agreeably to sustain the moral tone of our Chinese servants who are thereby occasionally debarred from de camping with all the umbrellas, which are apt not to be missed during the interval between one rainy season and the next. It is also cold; but that is a reasonable expectation in November, and may possibly limit the sundry and various uses of a stove pipe, to which the General took exception.

HASTENING THE COURT. Prince Ching has not gone back to Peking after all, but has rushed off to Hahan in the fond hope of hastening the Courts. Inggard steps homeward. The Imperial cortege is just now at Chenchow. By all accounts the Emperor is being accorded some out. ward show of power, his chair preceding the Dowager's, but too much importance need not be attached to this trifle. Wang Wen-shao is nominally in Li's place la Peking, but he is of course a mere figure head. General satis faction to felt here at Gen Yuan's appointment as Viceroy, with Provincial Treasurer Chow to assist him, as there are many who belive Yuan a strong man. He probably is when the tide of affairs is pro-foreign or he is sufficiently far from the Throne to do as he likes, as he bas been fairly well able to in Shanting.

MOURNING IN PEKING.

One of the Native papers here states that the conditions on which Russia has promised to restore the Shanghai kwan Newchwang rail- way to China are as follows-

t. When once returned that no other Power.

2. That British or Japanese soldiers or officers are never at any time to use it.

3. That when China desires to-extend the line she must obtain permission from Russia,

4. That the line must never be extended beyond the river Liac.

5. That all expenses incurred by Russia in repairing and maintaining the line be reim- bursed by China.

"

There seems nothing "tall" in the above outline, and it is easy to believe that China. would accede to all but the last. Should she do so. however, it is also conceivable that:

· British and Japanese troops would travel by the line if they feel disposed, and as-mat:ore: stand at present it seems a small moment whether the conditions are fulfilled or not,.." -PROHIBITIVE PRICES KOR PEKING. IMPORTS. The Imports imo Peking are increasing rapidly, but the prices ruling are prohibitive to really brisit business on account of the charges, made by the railway administration which aro enormous. Why they are so, and what is being done with the enormous profits being made is by no means clear to folks here, Both for passengers and freight the rates are abnormally bigh; and not even the handsome honorariums paid to the Military Officers con- nected, with the administration satisfactorily account for this.

AUDIENCES OF FOREIGN MINISTERS. According to native sources the future audi- ences of foreign Ministers with the Emperor will be conducted under the following condi tions.

+

A

The audiences will take place in the Chien Ching Kung or Hall, in the Palace itself.

Ministers will ride from the Legations to the Palace Gate in big sedan chairs, bur at the Gate will alight and occupy small chairs (I'am told this means an ordinary cane chair ou poles, and intends to signify the inferiority of the Ministers but I am investigating the point>

Specials envoys bringing credentials and letters to the Emperor will be conveyed from their Legations in yellow sedan chairs similar to those used by Princes of the blood, and will be attended by an Imperial bodyguard. On Three days, mourning has been observed in such occasions envoys will coter by, the Peking and Teintsia, but foreign ipfluence has Centre, or Royal gate of the Palace, and the { had something to do with it in the latter place at credentials will be received by the Emperor in least, any demonstration of the kind not being person.

All this is an improvement their theatres and banquets as a mark of if it is properly carried out, and reads woll
