H, J. Noltk, Prop. l'i7-tf f RWNAGO NOTES OF TRAVEL. Mr. Langley Writos an Interesting Lottor from China. Mr. Langley, fornnrly of the Cus torn House iu Honolulu, linn favored tho oditor of th Bullbti.v with a note antionncing hia arrival at llangkoug and with lato papers of that place, llo has written a long letter to Mr. Ball, yacht and boat builder, which has some interesting information. Sotno extracts there from will bo given here. The Ftentn or Naiiehau, by which ho loft Hono lulu, was cold to tho Japanese and tho passengers for Hongkong had to wait a week at Kobe for another steamer. Of Hongkong Mr. Lang ley says: "I must admit it is a wonderful place. If America will do for Ha waii what tho Britich havo douo for Hongkong, thou by all means let us havo annexation right oh". Talk as much about tho Chinese as you like and still, with all tho information one got?, 1 cuu oulytell you that you simply know nothing about this rnco 01 people until you fee mm 1 where ho belongs. Imagine skill ! (Hug cautious 1800 feet tip and not that alone, but the material to (build the tn.iuy forts that command I tho aea anil city. Thou thero is get 1 ting up ammunition, food aud sliel 1 tor for 1000 meu scattered all over I these ditTereut forts. At tho peak, I which is, as 1 havo said, 1800 feet I above sea level, thero are two well appointed hotels, both twico as i largo as tho Hawaiian and reached ' by a cable road. There are also sig 1 tial stations, from which n vessel can bo seen -10 miles on" iu clear weathor. J "Thero are roads leading all over 1 this peak and down to tho other side , of tho island, as you kuow Hong kong is an island, aud such roads 1 I Allmaeadain and cement gutter way a. Chinese do all tho building brick aud grauito blacksmithing, engi neering aud, iu fact, everything. If you waut to go any distance you get into a 'ricksha aud tho coolie will pull you where you waut to go, at tho ordinary rate of Honolulu car riages. There aro very few horses here, aud all are owned by tho rich pooplo. You are not iu it with tho Chinese as far as boat-building is concerned. Of course they can not turn out as good a job as you I cau, but they seem to satisfy tho , people. "I have been to Canton. It is a ! largo Chineso city with about two ! aud a half millions, but very dirty I aud streets very narrow well, iiot 1 so wide as our sidewalk on Fort I street. Iwent by steamer from there to Nankin aud if you see one you 1 see thorn all. I got as far north as Che-Foo. which is directly south of Port Arthur, separated by tho straits I of Fechili. Here I had to call a halt ou accouut of the extromo cold. I I heard all I could obout tho war, and if they tackle Pekiu they will got tho warmest reception they ever got. I was afraid of some unforo- soon accideut occurring to me, so I , thought I had got far enough, or 1 rather near enough tho seat of war j on my own accouut. If I had been ' in tho omploy of tho Chinese Gov 1 ernmout I would not havo stopped until I reached tho capital, but it 1 was simply impossible. The gulf of Pochili is all frozen, and to go over laud, up to the waist in suow. would not bo at all comfortable with the thermometer 15 degrees below freez 1 ing point. "The Japs aro dying byho huu drods from cold and exposuro. Their cavalry aro also dying. During my short trip along tho Chiua coast, from what I saw, I havo come to tho conclusion that the Japs can never best the Chineso. Suppose thoy take Pekiu, what of it? The present Emperor and his dynasty will fall and tho Japs will keep on going westward. Japan will got beyond her depth, aud all thoso vast pro vinces lying west, which oven do not kuow that war is L'oiiiL' on with ! ileirtl.e'.omt'ie0 ja?" ui7! ft To fall of Pekiu aud tho death of the Japan, will turn loose aud thou God binporor n civil war takes nlaee. ovon then the Japs would bo in a hole, for at tho Drosunt auv ono of tho provincos can prolong a war aud ! beat tho Japs iu tho end. Once Japan moves from tho coast into 1 tho interior sho is done for. Hor 1 base of supplies is interrupted aud thon sho is helpless. I "You can read tho papers aud hear j things about the war iu tho tar East, but you cau just put. all down as half rot. When 1 landed at Nankin, which is altogether Chinese, they did not know what to make of mo or mo of thwu. They felt my hands nud clothes as if I was something ituuatural. It was very amusing to them, but a good deal to my dis comfort. However, I made my stay as short as possible and hastened to Cho-Foo, then back to Hongkong via Shanghai, very much impressed with the manners and customs of Chin-Chin, or tho Chinaman at homo. Tho customs of the country diner very much from the Hawaiian or American. Take manual tabor tho coolie dons it all. Skilled labor they aro almost master of all tho skilled labor you could mention. They can make anything from a ueedlo to an anchor in all tho branches of trade. They aro even paying tellers iu all tho leading banks. They can make aud work as fine a gravestone iu marble or gra uito as ever seen. "Take the meal hours breakfast, 0 a. m.; lunch, 1 p. ri.j dinner, 7 to 8 p. in., and all places of amusement open at 9 n. 111. No business man gets into his otlice before 10:.'!0 a. 111. Some of tho Chineso inventions aro rare. Take, for instance, tho Canton stormvheol boat. I was simply amazed whou 1 saw it coming up the river agaiuht a strong tide. Coolies work this stem wheel by stepping ou a treadwheel. It is sur prising to see them haudlo these boats. Thero is, 1 was told aud there must be, 1200 steam launches in the hirbor of Hongkong." Further extracts from Mr. Lang ley's letter moy be loft for another ' issue. KEOKI'3 BIRTHDAY. I Goorge Washington's Illustrious 1 Mimory Is Duly Honored.
