The Sino-Japanese negotlations in Peking for the revision of the treaty of commerce stimulated the ardour of the Chinese in the Three Eastern Provinces, at which the re- presentatives of the party arranged that the elimination of ritoriality or consular courts should form subject of discussion, but uniform abolition throughout China is impracticable in view of cease- less disturbance. Hence a plan for the Three Eastern Provinces first was proposed. Such a process has precedent in Siam, from which France, Denmark and Italy with- drew their consular courts, except in some localities or provinces,
What struck me most is the earnestness in Manchuria for the improvement of law courts and pri-1 son houses, their object being the successful abolition of exter- ritoriality.
For all my scanty knowledge of law, I visited local and high law courts and ascertained that China had attained fair progress in this field. Referring to social work, such as caro for released culprits, women, in shameful occupations and orphans, the provisions are not sufficient, but they were well look- ed after. This is a promising fea- Lure for "China, though she wants technical advice.

This is the bell-boy's story: "I was specially selected for the job when wo wore on the outward trip, and you can imagine how 'bucked' I was, and how the other bows envied me.

foreign residents in the Three Eastern Provinces, a way will be prepared for the complete abolition of exterritoriality all over China, but this will take a long time. As an amateur, I am of opinion, that the juridical system of the Three. Eastern Provinces requires alderable alterations. The status of the judiciary must be made secure and civil courts will have to be made distinct from courts mar-i Hal. These are a few instances..
Guarantees. For these reasona foreign nations must have some guarantees for their safety on certain condi tions, Great Britain acceded to the elimination of exterritoriality in Siam on the understanding that the law courts of that nation should emplay British judges. Japan and the United States complied with Siam's request on condition that suits should be transferred to their consula when they thought that ex- amination was not satisfactory. Turkey abolished the capitulations in exchange for the employment of foreign legal advisers, who should not be empowered to meddle in the duties of the Turkish judiciary but are given authority to inspect the operation of the juridical system, to give advice to the Ministry of Justice and to present themselves at meetings of legislative commis- sions. The Chinese may be averse from such processes, yet these are necessary formalities for the gra- dual reform of their juridical system, and they had better follow suit.
An
The abolition of exterritoriality in the Three Eastern Provinces is the first step, the final object being All China. The Chinese may realize after deliberate considera- tion that gradual evolution does not hamper the execution of their plan. Anxious as I am to see speedy re- moval prove advantageous to the Three Eastern Provinces, yet gradual processes appear to be a necessity beyond control.-"Japan Advertiser,"
