QUEUE-CUTTING MYSTERY.

A CHINESE EDITOR'S STATEMENT.

When news reached Hongkong that natives, both men and wonen, were using their queues in Caston and could not account for it, people grew doubtful as to the truth of the story. A very enterprising Chinese editor in Hongkong, who at first disbelieved the story, went down to Canton to inquire into the affair. Speaking to a Hongkong Telegraph reponer this afternoon the gentleman in question said: The story of the queue-cutting in Canton at first appeared doubtful to die, list when I went to that part, and saw several men and girls who had had their hair cut, i believed it to be a fact. Victims are daily going to the police department reporting the "outrage," but they cannot state how, when or where they became queneless. A petition has been forwarded to the mandarins by the people to take the matter up, and to try to effect the arrest of the scoundrels who are the per petrators of the deed.
