From Our Own Correspondent.
Soochow, Oct. 10, Soochow does not seem to be celebrating The Glorious Tenth" except by the usual number of holiday seekers on the streets, although. it is reported that there will be a lantern parade to-night. However, to keep lanterns alight to-night, in the present high gale, will be quite an undertaking. Talking with several _.average business men to-day on Tsao's election the average opinion seems to be: "(What do we care whether Tsao, or Li, or Sun, or any other man makes himself president, or buys the presidency; just so long og we may carry en our business in peace with no fightings, or lootings.""
Around and near Soochow the rice crop promiseg to be well above the average, and this indicates a good business yeat, if there is political' peace.
