Reassuring News from Kuangsi.
Reassuring news has lately been received from Kuangsi stating that Viceroy Tsen has so far succeeded in restoring order to the region in the vicinity of Kueilin and Liuchou prefectures that trade is reviving and the road are free from roving parties of bandits. To emphasise the above, Shanghai agents of Kuangsi firms have received instructions from their principals to send down as much cargo as possible so that steamers bound south will soon have their holds full of goods destined for Kuangsi.
The New Mixed Court Magistrate, Mr. Teng Wen-vii, who, as has already been mentioned in these "Notes," was appointed the other day by Yuan Taotai of this port, we learn, is a Cantonese and son of H.E, Teng Hua-hsi, lately retired Governor of Kueichou province and a protege of En Shou, the Conservative Manchu Governor of this province.
