this connection to the railways in Manchuria where "railway zones and railway guards and what not, have contrived to substitute foreign authority for that of the Chinese" Taking a more general survey of the part the railway is playing in the extension of foreign influence, it is remarked that if a traveller should want to go to Tsinanfu in Shangtang vi Hankow, Tientsin and Tsing tao, he needs to be a linguist if he would avoid inconvenience or anndyance both to himself and his follow-passengers. The little matter of smolting on the trains is taken as an illustration. From Hankey to Poking the warning is in French (Defense de fumer), from Peking to Tientsin it is in Faglish ("No smoking"), while from Tsingtao to Tainan it is in German (Nicht rauchen),
General Chaffee, who led the American force in the march to Poking at the time of the Box- or outbreak, has retired from the sorvise and has bocome the executive head of an aquodnot undertaking on which the city of Los Angeles is spending twenty-eight millions dollars.

The pur port of the whole discourse is that extra territoriality rendora such a step extreme-, ly inadvisable, and that it can only be taken if extra-territorial jurisdiction is surrendered at the same time.
