Tseng, envoy to France and England
takes seven attaches.
A citizen of Hong Kong named Be-
lilos has ordered bronze statue OF Lord
Beaconsfield from England for erection
in the colony. Cost, one Thousand
pounds.
The Chinese inhabitants Of Hong
Kong have sent an address to the queen
of England, expressing their admira-
tion and confidence in Governor Hem
messy. The English opposition to the
governor is somewhat checked by the
announcement of the successful finan-
cial administration. which surpasses all
previous experience.
The insurrection continues in the
Island of Hainan and the province Of
Kwangsi, the former agrarian and the
latter military. Thus far the rebels
are successful, but speedy suppression
is confidently expected.
Considerable excitement exists over
the quarrel between the English
missionaries and the Mandarins near
Foo Chow. An investigation by Hong
Kong lawyers fixes the blame on the
missionaries who provoked the disturb
ance resulting in the riot and destruc-
tion of the mission property. The dis
pute was referred to the British foreign
office.
