"In Caunds and the United States there are now some 120 of those reform societies, with upwards of 20,000 members, all Cantonese each of whom lins paid one dollar to the funds of the society. Adding to those ho societies in operation in China makes some 4 9 iu all, with « membership of 3,500,000. Beshies the reform of corrupt polities they plan a commercial reform which is to begin in the shape of large bank in Hongkong, wholly operated by the Chinese themselves. All banks now is the city are operated by Westoraere, though these are largely dependent on the the acto.I business. The same reformers are planning the catablishment of paper mills. electric railways from town to town, a merchants' exchange, and oven a big de, rimental store.
