THE prompt settlement of the Kirin caso, reported yesterday in our special telegram, from Shanghai, is eminently satisfactory and goes to show that, British prestige and influence in China are not altogether dead The settlement could hardly have bees arrived at more quickly had the demand been preferred by France or Russin. It may be interesting to briefly restats the facts, which have been already published in these columns. Some five years ago Dr. GREG, a pissionary, was brutally assaulted by some Manchi soldiers belonging to the bodyguard of the Tartar General at Kirin. For that outrage, after long parleying, the Chinese Governineut agreed to pay $5,000 as compensation for the injuries sustained by Dr. GREIG and a further sam of $500 to purchase a site for a new hospital. The purchase of a piece of land was negotiated, the vendor being a man of superior standing named SUNG TSUN-LI, who, early in 1895, went with the purchaser to the British Consulate at Newchwang and there filed au affidavit setting forth that he had sold this and voluntarily. The title deeds were then deposited in, the Consulate, and, as the sale ind previously been specially anontioned by the Chinese Government, Dr. GREIG naturally bagined that no dificulties would follow.
