that the hostil,. demonstrations of the disaf-
fected residents of Hong Kong against |
Governor Hennessey have proved futile.
Hennessey is sustained on every point of the
CONTROVERSY and the approval emphasized by |
| an increase of emoluments to f6,OOO yearly, |
dating back from January, 1879.
There is great exultation in Chinese official |
quarters over the restoration of the Province !
of Lit by the Russian treaty negotiated at st. |
Petersburg. Apprehension is expressed by
many diplomatic agents that China, inflated
by this unexpected accession will assume |
hencetorth IA bearing of incresed arrogance
and defiance.
A revelation has been made in Hong Kong |
| of q system of human slavery practiced by
Chinese puryeyors. Raids are made by the
desperadoes among the villages OH the main
land and young girls captured, brought to
| Hong Kong, sold and confined till sufficiently
mature, and then lesold. The discovery was
made througha proclamation offering a reward
| for runaway slave girl fourteen years old.
| Rigid estigations are progressing and some
extraordinary discoveries have been made.
The operations of the slave traders is very ex
tended, reaching even to Japan; one little
Japanese girl having been found in bondage.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 1.-The cholera is rap
idly subsding. Official returns show upwards
| of 10000 since the outbreak in April, and
$1,000 deaths. The suppression now is at
tributed to energetic efforts of the government
and unprecedented expenditures for sanitary
purposes The authorities claim that if their
| endeavors had been seconded instead of
openly opposed by the European representa-
tives, the epidemic would have been under
control two months ago, and probably thou
sands of lives saved.
The extraordinary report is circulating that
a fraudulent issue of several millions OF paper
government money in small denominations
lis in circulation. 1t is declared that it was
obtained from Germany, where the currency
was originally engraved an printed. The de-
tails are obscure and contradictory. Several
arrests have been made in high social and
business circles. 'G>h
Nordenskjold and party start on their re-
turn to Sweden to-day in The ship Vega. He
will stop on the way at the principal Asiatic
ports.
The substitution of the Japanese silver
Yen for the Mexican dollar progresses rapid
ly. The former coin is now universally &C
cepted by foreigners and the advantage over
the old Mexican dollar Is acknowledged.
1t is expected soon to extend throughout the
open ports of China and Hong Kong, Sing
apore, etc.
Affairs in Loo Chico remain unchanged.
Japan maintains its original position and
China ENJOYS show 10 disposition to proceed
to extremities. The wool manufacturing in
dustry was inaugurated September 9th by
the opening OF the great government factory
