Italian Prince's Journey Through China

Hankow, Apr. 3

Prince Aimone di Savoia, the first cousin of the King of Italy, arrived here last night after completing an overland trip from Canton. The object'of his trip was to visit the Italian missions. Owing to the hostilities in the Southern Provinces it was necessary to make a wide detour but otherwise the Prince's journey was peaceful. The Prince will proceed to Shanghai shortly.—Reuter.

Psxine, Apr. 3.—It has been ascertained from reliable sources that the crews of four Chinese gunboats in the Yangtze are demanding that the salt revenues from the salt field at Shihpachien should be handed over to them for payment of their arrears of wages. It will be remembered that last year they succeeded in a like demand.—Reuter.
