A Chinese Newspaper.

November Century. In Canton, by the way, is produced the only independent Chinese newspaper printed in the Empire. Others printed in Hong Kong, which is out of the jurisdiction of the Emperor, sometimes criticise His Majesty’s government most .severely, and use terms, which, if employed within his dominion, would probably result in the proprietors, the editors, the staff, the compositors,; together with their families, being put to death, with various approved 1 thohgh inelegant gradations of Tartar barbarity. I had a long interview with Mr. Kwong Ki Chiu, the proprietor and editor of the Kwong Pao (News of Canton), who initiated me into many of the details of Chinese newspaper publications. This paper has a daily circulation of over 3,000, and is posted t? Chinamen in all parts of the world for a subscription of 18 yearly.
