We are given to understand from very, ro- liable sources that the Chinese Govern ment is endeavouring to initiate new financial schemes whereby it will be on- abled to rehabilitate the army and the navy and to place these services on an en- tirely different basis from anything hitherto attempted. Several months ago the Teung- Yanon communicated to the high officials in the whole of the Provinces to the effect that additional lovies must be made for the reconstruction of the feet and to place the army, on something approaching a war footing. The amount demanded from Kwangtung Province was no less than Tis. 2/10 2/1,2 2,000,000, in addition to the suma already 2/1 contributed to the Imperial parse, and,

naturally enough, the Kwangting officials are not enamoured of the proposals of the Coutral Authority' at Toking. They have consulted with the Commisioner of Cus-.
in- toina at Canton, aul · TO ATO formed, the Commissioner (who has not, presumably, a free hand in important State matters of this nature) suggested to the officials that he would collect the lekin charges for them, together with the ordinary Maritime Customs duties. If this arrangement were agreed to, it would solve many difficulties which foreign trade has to face in China, provided the Chinese officials stack to their bargain. But there is the rub. This is the prin- ciplo for which the foreign merchants have been contending for vorg many years, and it is on this lekin question that the proposed inciosec of Chinese import duties hinges at the present moment. The oficials recognise this very well, and it is not sur prising that the sensible proposal of the Commissioner was promptly rejected. Can their rejeution be accepted as a tacit admis- sion that if the skin charges were collected by the Customs officials, instand of being allowed, as at prosent, to filter through Chinese official channels, the amount of leakage would approximate to Tls. 2,000,000) The Kwangtung authorities will have to resort to other methods for raising money, and we are informed an attempt will be sundo to soluut, & 1870-an Intera penplads

much in the same way as the Hongkong Government has brought the Chinese squatter into the tax-gatherer's net. Should this scheme be carried into effect, it is cal culated that the amount that may be raised in the Province of Kangtung alone wil reach seven million tacks. The lower classes of the Chinese are a humbin and law-abil. ing race but in the South they are not favourably disposed towards their Imperial master, and the result of this new impost will not tend to create in them kindlier feelings towards the official classeя. It is
making ten per sent altogether. Buch no countouts seem to be also in the Colonial
