Shanghai, Sept. 21
It is stated, and with some foundation, that a railway is again about to be Introduced into China. It is not intended for passenger traffic so much as for use in connection -with the recently opened mines near Tientsin. Some excitement has been created at Foochow, by the destruction of some Protestant missionary buildings in that city by a number of roughs said to have been hired for the purpose by some of the local gentry. No personal injury was inflicted, and the foreign residents bear testimony- to the good feeling of the Chinese generally. A memorial has been presented to Her Majesty's Government on the subject.
C. R. Thatcher, the singer, well-known in Australia and New Zealand, and who has paid several visits to China as a collector of curios, died sudden'y here a few days ago from cholera. He- had arrived from England only a week previously.
