TIENTSIN NATIVE BANKS,

The Viceroy, ably represented by Mr. Tong, the Customs Total, has taken a vigorous and practical step in regard to the native banks and their drafts. At the recent meeting between the Taotai and the foreign bankers, when the native banks were unrepresented through their own fault, Mr. Tong proposed a plan by which the native banks are to redeem at a specified date the floating securities which have given so much trouble and hampered commercial transactions in Tientsin. The effect of the issue of so pluch paper money of uncertain value by the native banks is to be seen in the Customs returns. The export of sycee from Tientsin to Shanghai has this year reached the enormous total of Tis. 8,776,474, up to August 21, as against Tis. 2,519,400 in the same period last year, and Tls, 3,997,280 for the whole of last year. The difference between the 23 laks of last year and the 87 laks of this year represents, we may infer, the fall in Tientsin's credit at Shanghai, the Shanghai merchants being unwilling to deal except on terms of cash. The sycee is wanted at Tien- tsin.; it is not wanted at Shanghai,

.overburdened already

with silver, and is compelled to re-export it to India. The enormous export of sycee from Tientsin is best appreciated when it is bome in mind, as shown in the IM.C. Returas of Trade, that so recently as in 1899, China's export of silver for the year amounted only to H.K. Tls. 5,770,000, this including not only Shanghai but the whole of the ports. The measure taken by Mr. Tong, no doubt at the instance of the Viceroy, is calculated to retard the impoverishment of Tientsin and relieve Shanghai of some of its surplus of silver, by re-establishing the credit of the Tientsin native banks, even if it be at the cost of straining the resources of some of them.-China Times.

THE CHENCHOW MURDER. The Universal Gasefie contains the following account concerning the Chenchow murder:- -The British Consul at Hankow on hearing the sad news of the murder of two British missioná- ries at Chenchowfu despatched a gun-boat to the scene of disturbance to investigate the matter when he received a telegram from H.E Yu Lien-san, Governor of Bunan, saying that he had captured ten of the chief 'criminals concerned in the murder and had memorialised the Throne that the Prefect and District Magistrate in whose jurisdiction the outrage was perpetrated should be degraded and cashiered at once and had ordered the Taotai of the Chen-yun Intendancy to proceed to Chingchowiu to investigate the case, and therefore requested that the gun-boat which the Consul had sent off should be recalled.

The Universal Gazette publishes the news that the Taoni of Shanghai wrote to Sheng, The elaborately outfitted expedition which | Director of Telegraphs, saying that he has set sail from Victoria early in January received a communication from the British on the brigantine Blakeley to search for the Consul of that port stating that a British mer. mythical treasure of Cocos island, has just chant named Little is about to establish a returned like other expeditions which have Chinese paper at Chungking, Szechuen, and visited the island, without having seen a the said merchant considers the present glimpse of treasure of any kind. The expeditelographic charge of forty-four cents per word ton was an utter failure.

The instruments which were to locate the supposed buried treasure failed in all except giving the members a lot of work digging in different parts of the island. Captains Hackett and Whidden, commander and mate of the brigantine, who have the maps said to have been drawn by a Nova Scotiao miner, who is said to have, baried some treasure there, are disgusted with the goldfinding instruments, which Justin Gilbert, former coust stenograp hor of Victoria and Enyearl, a prospector, took down pa tlie vessel..

The Blakelty was to days reaching the island from Victoria, getting a taste of the heavy weather which prevailed at that time. arriving at the island on April 17.

After a day's reconnoitering the instruments were brought out and the men started work at a place to which they pointed. After sinking

shaft twenty feet another trial was made with the so-called gold' finder, and it pointed in another direction. In fact, every time it was brought out it pointed in a different direction. Finally, getting disgusted with it, Captains Whidden and Hackett decided to test it with some gold coin, and then a search for the treasure was made independent of the instrument. Holes were sunk where the crew of his majesty's ship Imperieuse and the ichooner Auraia had searched, without and better result.

After they left-Jones is alleged to have made the statement that their shares were valueless, and that prevented the sale of them He, on the other hand, is alleged to have disposed of all the shares he had in the company.

Director Sheng replied that the telegraphic rates are uniform through- out the different provinces and it would not be convenient to make a reduction, but as to the special matter referred to, he asked the Taotaï to communicate with the British Consul asking him to notify Mr. Little to come to an agreement personally with Mr. Chu Pau Fay, Manager of the Telegraph Administration at Shanghai and with Mr. Chou Fan Fény, Comp trolier of the same office.
