It was quite impossible for the bri- tish Government in connection with all these commercial and judicial affairs simply "to say that all the international structure built up" in the last 80 years should be summarily removed, but the British Govenment most earnestly desired both the good and the goodwill of China.
Canton and Peking.
Earl Balfour, referring to the relations between Canton and Peking, alluded to the strong cur- rent of opinion running in the direction some kind of federal system between the provinces of China. He said that there was no reason to believe that China was more likely to be broken up-owing to her present unhappy condition than she had been in the many very critical difficult periods of her history,
Meanwhile nothing could : be more menacing in connection with the external relations of China than the present unhappy condi- tions. All hoped that these con- ditions would be ameliorated, but he could not honestly say that they seemed to him to be in any process of rapid improvement- Reuter.

In its declaration of the Gov- ernment demanded exceptional "facilities for the passage of its financial proposals, including the postponement of all interpella- tions, making this a question of confidence.
The Ministerial declaration, which was read in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate this afternoon, expressed absolute conviction in the possibility of rapidly improving French fin- ances and restoring exchange. The result depended entirely on immediate and firm collaboration between the Government and the Chamber.
