THE RECEPTION OF LI HUNG- CHANG,
The following letter appears in the N. C. Daily News of the 20th inst. : -
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SONTH·CHINA DAILY
NEWS.
Sir,- The Committee of this Association sent the following telegram yesterday morning to the Hongkong Committee
Understanding that the Governor is giving a guard of honour to Viceroy Li Hung-chang, would urge you, considering the situation at Peking, to protest against any official mark of cordiality being estouilel to this representative." The Hongkong Committee replied as follows: Too late-mischief done-received this morning early soventeen guns, full guard, streets lined with troups."
Apparently Li Hùng-chang is no longer Viceroy
of Cauton with whom official rotations pero established, but claims to be Viceroy of the rebel province of Chili, appointed either by the Enpreas Dowager, or by the reled Government of Prince Tuna, with whom the Powers are at wer.

As showing the opinion formed on this sub- ject in England, when the first intimation of Li's impending appointment was made known, the following extract from a leading article in the Times of the 19th of Jane is of in- Corout:--
The Power are not likely to be fooled again into tolerance of a regine which openly fonts them one mad all; and not ovea ho anticipated appearance on the scous, of that wily and well-known deus ex ma chind Li Hung-elang is likely to produce its wonted ofleet. With the reputation of a re- former. Li Hung-chang is in reality one of the
most natuto instruments of reaction, and his emmquand of the mathods of Oriental negotiation has more than once eunbled him to play off China against the Powers and the "Powere against ech other. But that was when they wore only too ready to play the game then- selves. They now know that it is uo game they are playing," but a grim 'conflict in which they are all equally concerned for the elementary in terests of Western civilisation in China, and so
long as they are united it is certain that neither Li Hung-chang nor even the Empress-Dowager horalf will be allowed to prerail against them.

CHINA V. THE POWERS,
In a letter to the Times of the 23rd ult. Mr.-
14. S. Hallett sams up the causes and growth of the present state of affairs in Chinu us fol- lowa:-
The Emprese-Dowager indgot it into her mind that foreign Powers were growing afraid of Lor foreign-drilled armies. Italy had given up bor demands for concessions when they were insultingly refusal. Here you Bülow's waru- ing to China, on February 28, 189), had proved little better than frothy words. Chinese militia bud attacked the British forces in our liau-tung concession without due punishment to their Government. French navul officers had been assassinated perr Kwan-chan-wan, and the French forco sent to the spot had been attacked by a large fores of Chines militin, without China being properly called to account, and this only a few days before the secret Edict was issued. Two months later, on February 13 lust, a band of Chinese soldiers, or mititi, had crossed our Burgiese frontier and attacked our police, wounding Captain Taylor and Captain Holloway and four Gurkha police. without the Chinese Government being duly janished. Edicts which practically promoted the massacre of Chistians had been issued one after the other without any steps being taken to bring the Chinese Governrient to its senses. Reform had been relegated to the Greek
Kalends. All the concessions which tended to
ob up the country to trade hal been condered nugatory, and only, vain remonstrances had been provoked. The Powers of Europe, either from mutual antagonism or owing to the rapid increase of China's drilled ferees and modern artament, were apparently cowed by China's truculent attitude. "The gods make those med whom they wish to destroy. The Empress Dowager and her reactionist party have become mad with malice, ignorance, conceit, and hopes for revenge, Hence the present position of affairs."
