DAITIBU POLE OFTIÖE ÎN TIERTON. The first matter thus dealt with was an appeal from the Tientsin Branch in support of, the effets: which they were making to retain the services of the British Post Office in that concession. Both Shanghai and Hongkong joined Tentsin in impressing upon the London Branch the importance of keeping the ice open, and the result of the Association's intervention in this particular caso was, as you ord aware, thein. atitutior fagor arrangement postponing threatened closure for a period of one year. At the end of that time the problem thus temporarily disposed of will recur, when it is hoped that there will be found some more lasting method of solving it to the satisfaction of the Tintain community.

In a letter addressed to the London Branch on the 26th March, we directed attention to the attraction thus held out to ignorant and thoughtless huyers, and even those who, among the Chinese, are
bo made subservient to a shortsighted anxiety to secure immediate rotarns.
