THE LOSS OF A WHALER ON COREAN COAST.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES OF FOREIGNERS.

Captain Fetersen, who was in command of the Japanese whaling steamer Cheshu-mars,

which was blown ashore on the Corean coast on the morning of the 3rdl inst., and Mr. Pate, who had been the captain's guest on board the vessel, arrived at Nagasaki from Gensan onl Sunday morning by the N. Y, K. steamer Yamashiro-maru, both looking very little the worse for the terrible hardships they experienced,

In consequence of the many complaints made by foreigners of late against the rude behaviour of the coolics at Nagasaki (the Press states), the local Industrial Men's Union, with a view to reform, have memorialized the local Chamber of Commerce. The above Union haya made a thorough investigation of the subject, and explain in their requisition that as 1 million yen is spent annually by visitors to Nagasaki, the local authorities should take measures to prevent foreign residents and visitors from being fisulted by the lower class Japanese.. Add to the above sun the money

Captain Petersen, (the Nagasaki Press says) spent by naval men, etc., and it can easily be is a very experienced whafer, and has followed conjectured that the revenue derived by the

this somewhat dangerous calling since his local tradespeople from foreigners exceeds two million yen annually. The local Chamber youth. His connection with whaling in this of Commerce has decided to consider the part of the world extends over some six years

and he is thoroughly conversant with the what memorial at its next general meeting, and it is to be hoped the mentorialists will succeed in rounds which range from the Corean coast to far away Kamtchatka. To a repre- sentative of this paper, Captain Petersen kind- ly gave the following particulars of the loss of

their efforts to check the present unruly be haviour of the enolie class towards foreigners,

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The Kobe Herald gives the following as a translation from a Japanese paper:-.

"A concert was given at the Oriental Hole by the kindness of Rear-Admiral Rensey and other officers of the U. S. Flayslip Brooklyn on Wednesday night at 7.30. The reporter of this journal (Yushin) repaired to the Hotel at 9 when the dinner was over and the guests were about to go into the ball room. There were over 200 guests, all in evening dress. The ladies who danced were the stars and drew everyone's attention. The dining room was converted into a ball room, all the tables

having been removed. There were an special decorations but the arrangements of pot flowers and dwarf trees were very effective. The band was in an adjoining roum and wore a brilliant uniform At the first sound of the orchestrat several dancers who were sitting on the chairs near the walls of the ball room sprung up in couples as if struck by electricity and sallied forth into the centre of the room as though sailing on water. The way of dancing was for

his vessel,

The Choshu-inary, with a large, whale in tow (the Press further reports) entered Chau chiens dogu, about 4 miles south of Gensan, at 22.1 on Monday, the 2nd inst. There was a moderate breeze blowing at the time with a heavy swell from the F. N. E. The whale was handed over to the receiving shipa schooner belonging to the same company-and at 215 am. the Chashu-mary proceeded on her way to the whaling-ground, about 20-miles distant. Cap tain Petersen took the vessel outside the harbour and then left her in charge of the chief mate (a Japanese), with instructions that the vessel should be kept on her course to the whaling ground. When the captain retired to his berth, the night was fine and clear. At 6 am. he was awakened by a heavy sea striking the vessel. He left his berth at once, but before he could emerge from his room another sea burst on deck, and smashed the door of his cabin. The wind was now blowing strongly front the north-west and was accom-: panied by a heavy snowfall. On gaining the bridge Captain Petersen saw that the vessel was in the midst of the breakers, and soon after she struck. The breakers subsequently carried her to within one hundred yards of the shore, where she stranded. Finding that nothing could be done to save the vessel, Captain Petersen, now devoted his attention to saving the lives of his crew. There were originally two boats on board, but one of them, unfortunately, had been washed away by the breaks. In order to communicate with the shore and obtain assistance, the remaining boat was lowered and manned by the two inates, who were accompanied by Mr. Pater A line was attached to the boat, but the rough seas, made it impossible for the line to be carried to the shore and the men were com pelled to sever it. The boat was repeatedly swamped, but after battling with the waves for some time, the three men, though greatly ex- hausted, managed to effect a landing. Finding that the line was cut and no help could be expected from the three men, Captain Petersen then fired a harpoon, with a line attached, which reached the shore safely, but unfort ately there were no means of making the DEATH OF CHEANG KENG KWI. rope fast. An attempt was made by those

the gentleman to hold the waist of the lady lightly with his right hand, while the other hand he held the lady's left hand, her other hand resting on her waist. They danced about the room without colliding with other dancers, responding to the tune of the band. They rather lacked interest in the eyes of the anti- High-culiar Japanese; but it must have been very interesting and amusing for the dancers. There were several dances during the even- ing. One lady who was in fall. evening dress showing bare shoulders and armas and wearing numberless jewels, and one young lady in dark crimson were the belles of the evening. There was an aged gentleman of about do who danced most gracefully with a young lady about 18 or so. In short a different world of joy and happiness suddenly burst forth. Waltzes, two steps, and polkas were danced while the reporter was in the Hotel but he did not see the much talked of skirt (or square) dance, which was said to be the principal item of the evening.

A MILLIONAIRES CAREER.

The death of Cheang Keng Kwi, Captain China of Perak, a millionaire, took place at ~Penang on the 12th instant, after an illness lasting only a few days. The deceased, says the Penang Gazette, was 74 years of age, so of which he had resided in the Straits, having first come here when he was to and worked in the Perak tin mines, from which position he

gradally rose. He made a considerable fortune in his early days in the Perak in mines and farming, every dollar of which he lost when the disturbances first broke out in Perak. He held the Perak Farms for the past twelve years. The mines he owned at the time of his death were ten, and the aggregate number of coolies employed was 15,000. He was most liberal with his money and was patson of nearly every local institution. To the Free School exten- sins he recently contributed some $12,000, and to the Ilrothers' School $6,000. When the troops were withdrawn from Penang and the question of the. Volunteers was mooted, he offered to give a Maxim gun for the purpose, which it was said would cost £500. The offer was refused by the Government. He was an owner of property in the Settlements and the

Native States to an immense extent, and also held property in Hongkong, which in the aggre- gate is supposed to be worth 510,000,000., It is stated that in Beach Street, Penang, alone, his property is valued at one and a half million dollars. The deceased leaves a n wife, ten sons, and five daughters, zo grand-children, and four great grand-children.

brought to within 4 miles of the disaster by a Japanese whaling steamer, and walking the remainder of the journey. Tho, police officer kindly loaned his overcoat and the Japanese Captain his boots to Captain Petersen, who was thinly clad, and had stood for nearly eight hours exposed to the intense cold. The ship- wrecked party, walked through the snow to where the Japanese whaler was lying and were taken to Gensan, where they arrived at 8 p.m. At this port, the Olga and two Russian whalers were lying and it is scarcely necessary to say that every assistance was rendered by these vessels to Captain Petersen and his shipwrecked crew. The Japanese members of the crew of

the Choshu mars were left in charge of the Japanese Consul at Gensan, and Captain Petersen and Mr. Pate sailed on the gth inst. in the Yamashiro-maru for this port, where, as stated above, they arrived on Sunday laste

CIGARETTE SMOKING BY INDIANS,

It is impossible for the Mofussilite to spend many days either in Calcutta or Bombay without noticing one innovation that has engrafted itself on the generally changeless habits of the people of India. A very few years ago the sight of a Native, not arrayed in European costume, smoking a ciga

reite

was sufficiently uncommon to catch the attention of a passerby. Usually 100 a second glance would disclose the smaker to be a domestic servant, a riding boy, or some hanger-on who had probably cultivated the taste at the expense of the "Sahib." Now- a-days the habit is spreading visibly among all classes of the population. The trade returns confirm the impressions of every-day experience. Up to a couple of years ago no count was taken of the cigarette as a separate article of commerce, for while it remained virtually the luxury of a small class among the small European community it was an insignificant item in the imports; but the im ports have been increasing so rapidly of late that from January 1900, it was given an entry to itself, and the value of the cigarettes import- ed in the year ending last March was more

than 1 lakhs of ruptes. We are told that already in remote country markets in Bengal it is quite a common thing to see both Ameri- can and Turkish cigarettes exposed for sale at the Buniya's stalls, In short, while there has been all this talk aud effort over the introduc-

ing of tea the cigarette has quietly introduced itself. The spread of the habit is irrefutable the foreign cigarette is not a cheap article'and testimony to the welfare of the population, for

it goes a very little way.--Pioneer,
