THE SITUATION IN CHINA, The overthrow of CHANG HSUN and his Restoration scheme does not, unfortunate y, bring China's internal dissensions to an end. The conflict between TUAN CHI- u and the Parliament, which was the original cause of the present upheaval, still continues in an acute form. There a strong party which disputes the legal status of the newly-formed Govern- ment at Faking, on the ground that the dissolution of Parliament was contrary to the terms of the Provisional Constitu tion and was only brought about by the undne pressure exercised upon the Per BIDEST by the revolting Northern Tuchons.

children gave three hearty cheers for Mr. Cooper Hunt, who had worked so hard to make the trip a success,
The many friends of Captain Frank Richardson, 1st-4th London Regiment, late of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, will learn-with deep regret that he was killed in action in France on June 7th. The. deceased officer was well known in Hong-
