THE TSONG-WEI-JE-PAO a Shanghai native paper, writes that a number of Chinese traders have lately sold cotton, soaked with water, to Europeas firms. The latter conse quently established at Kong-i-mateo, near Tongkawn, a special examination office for inspecting cotton imported from the interior A few days ago, a Chinese employed at the office, was so badly handled by the native traders, that the British Consul sent a repre- sentative to the mandarin Tau, delegate to the Tantai, with orders to see what protection was required from the settlement police, as a dis- turbance was reported brewing in that district. The mandarin assured him that this was unnecessary, inasmuch as he had already sent 20 soldiers to the scene to restore order. With this assurance, the representative abandoned his projected trip to Kong-matcou PUSHING AMERICANS At PEKING Ever since the dinner given by Mrs. Conger, wife of the American Minister at Peking, to the Empress Dowager, and the Manchu princesses Americans have come to the fore. As an instance of how popular Mrs. Conger is with the Empress Dowager, it is reported that the Iady in question one fine day missed her favourite Pekinese poodle. There was a buce and cry raised and everything was ransacked to find the missing dog, but to no purpose. On the matter being reported to the Empress Dowager, she at once selected two of the prettiest poodles from her Imperial palace and after having had made two gold collars for cach of the poodles, sent them with her com- pliments to Mrs, Conger. Another thing which has endeared the Americans to the Empress. Dowager is the fact that the American Minister has promised $100,000 to defray expenses to rebuild the 1-ho park, and also all the money and loot taken at Tientsin during the Boxer rebellion is to be returned to the Chinese Government,

Owing to the demands of the packers for an increase of wages, being refused, a riot is, re- ported to have taken place yesterday in Canton

The various masters of the Packing Guild, seeing that they could not amicably settle with the strikers, appealed to the local Magistrate for assistance, with the result that one hundred un yungs (policemen) were de- failed to scatter the rioters. It is also reported that the police were badly used at the hands
