Sir smyth's appointment.
What The Times has predicted from
the first and stuck TO right along was
made certainty to-day by official an
nouucoment of President Cleveland Of
t1e appointment Of Mr. Henry NJ. Smythe,
editor Of The Headlight. published at
Graham, to Doe consul al Fuchau. or Foo
Chow China. 10 was thought probable
that Mr. smythe would be sent 90 Hong
Kong. but the administration thought he
would be of more value 10 it at Foo
chow and for that place he has been
named. ID is quite a good place the salary
is $500 per annum with certain unofficial
fees that will swell IL considerably. Foo
Chow is a city of $4,000 inhabitants, and
is situated ON the East coast Of China,
only a short distance above Annoy, where
Colonel John Hampton Hoge has been
sent as Consul. IL lies about the north
ond of the FOrmosa channel which runs
between tine Island of Formosa and
China. There has been mo- doubt from
the first time that SIR. Smytho saw Prcsi-
