rivals, again respectfully suggested to the thou representative of her Majesty that her Majesty's Government should reconsider is policy and insist upon the effective application of the most-furoured-uation clausu to British subjeste, but I was again, met with the old reply, Great Britain cannot sandospend to become a acudassian-ranngae for bor stibjects.” It is true that auder Sir Philip. Gurrio can st- tompt was made to reverso thin foolish poliny, but, grateful és wu were to his Excellency for his good intentious and for anoe partial suc codes in exceptional cases, we could not help sawing that his personal efforts foil dät befors the fosilised system which prevailed at the Foreign Often. Everything had to be referred- home, and as a natural result nothing perinn ently effective was ever done... I do rut deny that to enre appearances orase words were 534] often user by bor Majesty's representatives, but as they never mere followed up by doods, the Turkish etatesmen sonn gauged those fine. words, at their true value and just eimply ianghed as them, so that n Turkish Minister zot so long siuna told me to my face, with -ra- ference to certain important. British Interests prejudiced by the opposition of Germany, "You Engheh are a louter what you were. You have become two soft to succeed in anything."
Thore is no doubt that in Turkey, and I do not hesitate to believe that this applies to Chian also, the Hat has gone forth from the central Governments that everything must be done to conciliate the Russiaus, French, and Germans becuase they are to be feared, but that as ve garde British lateresie they are a quantité negligeable, for Great Britain data but fight for theta, and as long as the conviction prevails, as it undoubtedly does at prosent, we shall not only see ourselves ounted by these opponente, politically, and commercially, but we shall be approaching the grout climax whey, with our trado frittored away and ner working classes unemployed, wo sLull be driven into war for the support of cur rights to exist us a com- mardial country.

Map of the Philippine Islands...
I notice that a great British salesman tell British capitalists, Got your capital together, ask for entoessiona, and we shall do our best. to get them for pan." This certainly marks a step in advance. for 20 years ago her Majesty's Foreign Ofen would have laughed at the notion of recognizing the claim of the British capitalist at all, but I respectfully anbit that this is. proved policy comes too luto. The British capitalist is no longer fool onough to waste his time, his energy, and his money in initiating pre- jects, inopposition to great foreign Poirons, whiob may not go through after all,-on which, if they do gothringh, depend for access on the contiations and doubtful support of a British Goverumt. What is required by circumstances now, ut all events in Eastern countries, is that her Majesty's Governmond sold itself fix and father the projecte nocury to is country's weal and path forward the British capitalist to oxeonto Chom under definite usstarences of energotio promotion and support, just an the Rossinn, German, and French Governments are now doing in China, and just as the Germans nud French have been doing for years past in Tor- kor. The question arises, Can this now policy be carried out under our present fosilized For- vigu Offics apatem? The best intentions of our beat Ambassadors cannet bat bo shattored by the insouciance of man whose only, object in life apparently is, not to woys energetically with the times and show gonclusively to other nailons that we will atau no nonsense whore our pet pa terests are concerned, but to live in a fool's paradise of philosophie contentment, even when tirea Britain's vital interests are being kicked about like a football ia a conoty matel
I conclusion, I bag to say that my wonder ment is, not that British trade should decline,
as decline It must under the prosont absurd policy or rather want of policy, but that the
uggs of the British
such circumstances be so great as to provent a da ne more marked than the one we witness. Your obediout servant,

He scoffs at the “on-English and unsportsmanlike” practice of batsman who sit on their bats while a little boy goes to tuleb the ball, and the evorer crodite, them with balf-a-dozen notches,” and ways the system of boundaries demoralises batsmen and felders alike: practice nots are equally in- jarises, the gard playor forgets the solence of placing balls and of keeping balls down and the youngster usver learns them; while fielding is E becoming an art of the past,'. “My dvorugë” k thewestmatigrant canker of todern cricket,” and instead of cricket being a game, requiring pluck, and arance and skill, it is rapidly de- C. generating into a menos of cultivating eelfish- Dess.
