In connection with the latter stipulation, I am to point out that under the present Customs Rules, foreign goods imported into China can be re-exported coast wise or up-river duty free, only, if in their original- packages with orieinal marks and numbers: and that these rules would have to be modified in the event of Chung-king being opened in such sense as to allow of re-packing at Hankow of goods destined for the new port,

Our countrymen whip them when it comes to blows, and in consequence of this an organized attack by the Chinese and Portuguese was going to take place when the Kang-kas put in an appearance.

Hongkong, 11th March 1990. DEAR SIR-I have the pleasure to acknow ledge receipt of your esteemed favour of 17th January and I am directed by my Committee to tender you their best thanks for copy of letter addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affries, having reference to the proposed additional Article to the Chefoo Convention.
My Committee, while in no way wishing to deprecate the frantages likely to sccrue to British trade by securing another outlet for her manufactures, scarcely think the opening of Chang-king will realise the expectatious of those increase to the volume of trade.
Mr. Woodin seconded. Before being passed Mr. Cross complained that the introduction of the Kwoon Kwan Yean Cup competitions hail lessened the popularity of the other shooting partics, such as the Spoon competitions and the monthly Challenge Cap handicap,
:
Mr. Hooper replied that the Cups were valued at $550, and although presented subject to special conilitions the Committee felt bound to. accept them. He further pointed out that the that Martini-Henry and other military breech object was to encourage match-rifle contests, but loaders were allowed points. The matter then dropped, and the report and accounts passed..
The Chairman, in maring the election of Mr. C. V. Ladds as Secretary, vice Mr. Shelton Hroper resigned, expressed the thanks of the Association to the latter gentleman" for his ser. vices during the past two years. The following Committee was then appointed for the ensuing year: Col. Chater, Capt. Robinson, Lient Carlisle, Capt. Rumicy, Messrs. G. E. Nehle, E. L. Woodin, H. E. Wodehouse, E. Robinson, A. Shelton Hooper, W. D. Braidwood, and C. Ford
Mr. Crose then moved that a special,meeting, be cald fur.ibe Easius primecing, to con. sider the advisability of rescinding the resolution adopted at a special meeting last year, by which police under the rank of inspector, and soldiers under the rank of sergeant, were excluded from Association.
A cable special to the World from London says: "It is said that a coolness kas arisen between the Prince of Wales and his son-in-law, the Dake of Fife, in consequence of an incident which, occurred at the second performance of Master and Mas" at the Princess Theater, During an entr'acte the Duke sent for the actor who plays the leading part to come: to his box to receive the compliments of its distinguished Decupants. The actor was duly presented to the Duchess.

BERLIN, February 4th. Prince Bismarck gave a grand dinner to-night at which the Emperor was present. The Emperor conversed with the Chancellor in the most affable manner, and frequently took wine with him.

My Committee entirely agree with you in thinking that the right of navigating the Upper Yangisto must not be abandoned. It is to be regretted that Her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking was, apparently, not instructed to oppose the vacillating and temporising, policy adopted by the Chinese Government in reference to this question. Persistent obstructivences at every stage of the proceedings has secured them a diplomatic victory which will scarcely tend to smooth the way for further negotiations at a fature date.
Trusting that your suggestions will have received a favourable reception at the hands of the Secretary of State.
In a recent issue of the Afiasions Catholiques of Lyons, the well-known traveller and ravant, Abbé Armand David, says that the mortal remains of the great cooquerce Genghis Khan, or Genghis Bogoco as he is called in Mongolis, are preserved at a place called Kia-y-sen, in the land of Ordos, a desolate region in a bend of the Yellow River in Mongolia. They are gone tained in a large allver collin, which the Mon- gods will not show to strangers without some good reason. The coffla is wrapped round with rich stuffs, and numerous pilgrims come to kiss these and to pay the same respect as they would to a living Emperor. The coffin is not in "a lamasery, or Llama monastery, but in a special building, which is guarded by a Mongol prince. Kenric B. Murray, Eng, Secretary, The London It is said that this massive sliver coffin was st first carried about all over Mongolia in order to save it from eager enemies of Genghis, and at length was brought to and deposited in Ordos, because the latter was a country which, on account of its remote situation and its porety, was safe from all hostile juvasió. -
