A telegram from Baigon, dated Decem ber 15th, says that the British steamer Lienshing, on its way from Hongkong to is a total low. Out of 530 passengers and Saigon, went ashore on the Paracels and, crow, nearly all natives, only 37 were saved.
A revolution in the financing of China bas been brought about by the action of the Pacific Development Corporation in entering into a private loan agreement with the Chinese Government.

"It creates a new situa tion which is bound to have far-reaching consequences. In the first place, it asserts the principle that American bankers have the right to lend money to Chins if they choose to do so, their Government cannot forbid them. The Crisp financiers were the first to break down the monopoly which had been estabished, and the Pacific Development Corporation have demon- strated that the principle is still opera BOLSHEVISM IN THE EAST. tive.
