MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE: The Provincial Treasurer of Chibli has bought atract of land measuring some 30 mow outside, the north gate of Paotinglu, on which he intends to erect a large manufactory at an early date. FOHKIEN TEA The cultivation of and trade in tea in Fobkion province are largely in the hands of the Japanese, who have lately been so prosperous in their operations that they have had to requisition an additional steamer of 1378 tons nett-register to meet the -needs of the industry. ⠀

THE GERMAN DEMANDS: The Intest German demands on China, which have been prifericit through the medium of the German Minister at Peking, include the concession of five mines and the right to build a railway in Shantung. The mines consist of one gold

mine, two silver mines, a copper mine and an Iron mine.

FERTILE ISLANDS-There is a group of small islands off the Fohkien coast in which the soil is so productive that the farmers who cultivate it readily make large fortunes. Some of the more successful have accumulated as

mucha aa a million dollars within ten years,

The Foschow, City Magistrate has lately acquired an interest in one of the largest of these fertile islands and is sending a number of expert cultivators there to till it.

A DUMPED BODY-The body of litle a Chinese girl, dead of plague, was found this morning opposite N 47 Stanley Street. If the Government were "in-catry out Professor Simpson's suggestion to fine the whole street, the Hongkong Telegraph would have to be fined, not to mention Messrs. S. Watson & Co. As neither the Telegraph nor Watson's employ Chinese girls, dead or alive, such action would be manifestly unjust.

REAPPEARANCE OF THE BOXERS is reported that within be past few weeks, numbers of young men attired in Boxer uni forms and bearing. Boxer Bags have made their appearance in the streets of Tientsin. Drilling is also, it is said, being carried on nssiduously, and altogether, it seems that the rowdy element in Tientsin has failed to profit by the lesson given it the year, before last, and may be expected to give further trouble in the not distant future

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1902.

ARRIVAL OF FRINGE TSAI CHENG,

WELCOMED: BY THE CHINES”, Early this morning crowds of expectant Chinese thronged the vicinity of Blake aud Murray piers with the hose of having a glance at their Royal Prince who is going to England: as special ambassador to the coronation cere monies. At about 7.30 the Pand liner Bengal with bunting flying and the Chinese Imperial flag at her main entered the harbour and was safely moored at her anchorage. At ra.30. in, a deputation of leading Chinese citizens boarded the ship, and after afgreat deal of kowlowing, welcomed the Prince and his suite, and invited them ashore to the Chinese Club. The deputation consisted of Messrs Liu Tre Shan (Manager China Navigation

Co.) Tim Chee Kòng (tate Consul General for Peru), Wan Chio Choy (Manager Imperial Telegraphs), Chow Chee Yee (expectant Con- sul of New York), and Chan Wong Yue (Man- ager Po On Insurance Company), the above gentlemen all hold mandarin rank. During the pufceedings international courtesies were exchanged by II M.S. Glory, flagship of Vice

Admiral Bridge, and the German cruiser Hans. The salutes were returned by the Chinese gunboat Fu Poh, carrying the flag of Admimi Le Bou. At 12.30 His highness landed at Blake Pier, being conveyed thither by the Government Jaunch Viterio. A guard of honour consisting of two hundred men of the Hongkong Regiment under Major Berger, lined the two sides of the landing and, as the Prince entered his chair he was accorded a royal gen- eral salute with the Regimental Band playing Captain Trefusis, received the Imperial per sonage, and the party made their way to Head Quarter House, where, afirr exchanging greet- ings, the Prince was the (urst of the Acting Govemer, Sir W. J. Gascoigne, at tiffin. The Prince, who was accompanied by his Secretary. Sir Liang Chun Tung.K.C.MG., Admital Le Bou and another Secretary, is the son of Prince Ching, and cousin of the Emperor. He is a young man of about twenty-years old, and has rather a striking appearance combined with very prominent features On landing, he wore the famous yellow riding jacket, the Imperial hat with a coral buton, and the three-eyed. peacock feathers.

After visting the Peak, the Prince and Suite paid a visit to the Chinese Club, which had been elaborately decorated for the occasion. He was met at the door by the members of the -Club, and was escorted to the reception room, where a numerous. number of leading Chinese citizens were presented to him.

WUCHOW, April, zand. Since my last letter to you, the rebellion has take a decided move. Last week the whole towa, was thrown into a sort of semi-pámic when it was whispered that Nanning, one of the new Treaty Ports, had fallen into the handa of the rebels, and that they were on the downward march towards this town. Some of the inhabitants even went so far as to pack up their belongings and make for Canton. How ever, news of a reassuring character has in a way allayed the people's minds. The rebels no doubt are in the vicinity of Nanning in large numbers, and it is feared that it is their with various members of the Club, the Prince Place.

Business up river has completely stopped, all the cargo boats are. doing nothing, whilst the accumulation of goods from Hongkong and Canton has taxed all the godowns here to their utmost. Numerous refugees have arrived from the scene of the trouble, all malataining an attitude of abject despair.

Yesterday there was considerable excite ment here when it became known that the Imperial troops on their way to Nanning came across a large band of rebels who were cocamping on the slopes of the Wuchang hills. An encounter at once commenced. For once the Imperial troops gained a decided victory. Among the prisoners made was one Hung Yung Seng, who by his commanding presence and the other claborate costume he wore is reported to be the chief. On subsequent en- quiries being made it was found that the rumour was correct,

From an eye wiiness, I learn that the affair seems to have been a very bloody encounter The troops at first were unable to root the rebels, but with the help of two maxins and a couple of twelve-pounders they forced them to scatter. It was whilst leading his men, and encouraging then against the Imperial troops that the leader was wounded by a fragment of a shell and captured. It is also reported that this chief: will be sent to Canton for panishment and execution. Three days after the above-mentioned, matter, took place, the rebels again mustered in strong force and made a determined effort to capture the smaller villages

STUDYING LEPROSY.

:

Dr. Adolph Razlag, from Vienna, Austria, is now. in Canton studying leprosy. Dr Razlag has made leprosy a study for several years and is convinced that if his course of treatment is strictly followed some cures can be effected, in other cases the disease can be arrested, and in most cases the patient can be very greatly benefitted. Dr. Razlag bas chosen half a dozen typical cases and they are now-undergoing his treatment. No secret is made of the treatment and the patients are under observation by several persons, so that whatever good is ac- complished will be no matter of hearsay but will be certified to by competent witnesses. De Dr. Razing spent some time in the Philippines and in Hawail experimenting with lepers and was fully satisfied with his resulte, but the governmental restrictions prevented him from carrying his experiments as far as he wished, Hence he has come to Canton.
