Some two years ago I said that directly railways were commenced in Chins it would be the signal for the biggest rebellion that that country has ever seen. I think that in a great measure that prophecy ia wall borne out by the events at Peking, but that is nothing to what it will be whea begin niuing or travelling throngh the hilly regions of Southern China, where every hillock is a grave, and where every mountait contains thousands of them. The inhabitants will ail be up in arta, the native troops will certainly sympathise with them, and foreign troops will be required to guard the workers on the rail- ways, and also the railways themselves after they are made. With regard to the resolution. I may say that I have bean a large shareholder of the bank for the last thirty years, and have shown my confidence in the management by never selling a share.
