The Future of the concern hangs in the balaner. It is doing practically no genuinely commercial business its main output bag turned over to the Hanyang Arsenal i crder to provide General Wa Li Fu with arms and ammunition of one kind or another, and the cost of produc- tion of these is said to be extraordinarily high, so high indeed that it would really pay the purchasing department in any army better to buy from abroad. Th diffenity in that ease would be that the goods bought would have to be til for. while at Hanychping an indeterminate ncerunt enn he run up. The present! state of affairs at Hanyelping cannot last long. The critical point has come, and the crisis in Japan simply means that the Japanese creditors will very soon be maro pressing than ever, It also means that taclysm suffered by Japan, after all for same time to come barrowing from those already reported concerning the Japan must case, for Japanese poney crops in China, Tonkin, Cambodia, etc., can be beiter empleyed at home than is badly affected our market, and the prices can abrand.

It is certain, however, that under the present management th Hanychping con eer has not much of a future before it.] Now, blood is required, and the adminis tration should arek the serviens of some man with wide experience in organiza! tion and administration of big concerns in China. There are, of course macy such, but it is also essential that the mat chosen thould have had experience in a
similar concern. The name that naturally
suggests itself in this connection is that of Major Nathan, the head of the Kailan Mining Administration which occupies an bonourable position at a pioneer of Sino Foreign co-operation and even amalgama tian. Major Nathan has the further ad- vantage of intimate relations with the leading financial and industrial magnates of Japan. many of them more or le cerned in the Hanywhping loans, and he, wou'd be able to effect satisfactory terms both for the debters and for the creditors.. We venture to make this suggestion partly in view of Major Nathan's personal qualifications, but alse ineun-e it has been more or less an open secret for some time. that the Kailan Administration wanted to link up with std and iron on a large scale.
It is sential to susceps, however, that the sind hand of officialiom should not be laid upon the concern, The original disasters of the company were the disent
