The susceptibilities of some of the Port

recently touched. A young Scotchman

his recommendations and leaving his

latter feel like kicking themselves now
that the canny Scot has fled, doubtless
certain of the fair sex repinc and refuse to
believe the stories about the departed one.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 2f.-The En-
press of China arrived last night, BRING
ing the following Oriental advices:-
The news reached Nankin on October Is
of another anti-missionary riot having
taken place in the southern part of kiang,
and that wholesale destruction OF foreign
property resulted, as well as the wound
ing of a Roman Catholic priest. Whefner
American property was included in the
work of destruction is not known, but
such is not unlikely to have been rne
case, as Methodist and Episcopal
churches have missions there.
On the 18th ult. the Korean Minister of
Household issued a proclamation an
nouncing the intended selection of a con-
sort for the King. According to a time
honored custom, the issue of this proc
lamation has the effect of prohibiting,
for the time being, the marriage OF all
girls of and and above % years of age
throughout the country. The Queen
elect must be a spinster, and in Korea,
early marriages being the prevailing Gus
tom, a choice will be practically limited
to girls between ID and IT or Is at most.
Thirty or forty girls are to be nominated,
and from among them three will be first
selected. and on one of the three the
final choice will fall.

The Inhabitants of Tokusoshima,
Kagoshima prefecture, are said to be in
a very destitute condition. A serious storm
visited the island on July "a, and the
sweet potato crop, the chief staple of
the islanders, was ruined. The rice
was also greatly injured. The inhabi-
tants. numbering COCO in all, are now
reduced to eating loaves and stalks of

A leading member of the Tsung L
Yamen, evidently great Wong. who is
said to owe his position to his anti
foreign proclivities. found, on assuming
office, that it was one thing to abuse
the foreigner verbally and another to
deal with him practically. Sir Nicholas
tO'Connor proved specially disturbing,
for he actually pounded the table under
the serene mandarin's nose. The latter
complained to London about this sledge-

ouis of Salisbury replied that wong
