The Commission has finished its work, and has adjourned, but with the exception of Tanyang and Kiangyin, which I wrote you had been settled at $12,000 and $9000,the public has been left in the dark as to what damages were allowed; the officials desiring to keep it a secret for the During the storm that raged bere last Tuesday night and Wednesday, there was, to say the least, a very unfortunate occurrence.

What are the Chinese going to depend on (by and by) for support? It is said that in ten years the treaties are to be altered. Your Excellentes say that foreigners will ask for other things and will get them, and they will go on asking till they get all they want. If one examines this matter calmly ( appears that? what they want, is what we Chinese cannot grant, and that is the plais truth. China from north to south and from east to west is to have foreign railways and carriage roads. The mountains and the rivers of China, the natural barriers of the country, are to be treated by foreigners according to their will, the mountsins to be levelled and the rivers filled up just as they please. When they are allowed to do as they like, then they will be happy. The myriads of the Chinese people are to serve them, the milions of Chinese wealth are to go into their treasuries, the countless acres of China with its houses and fields are to pay them tax, all fish, flesh, and fowl are to obey their imperious voice, and are to delight their eyes and ears by reason of their abundance. Foreigners must take every thing, and overcome everything, and nathing, short of that will do. But if it were only one ten-thousandth part of this that you wanted, you can't have it.

THE RECENT RIQTS IN CHINA.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM ? '
I.
It has been frequently stated of late that the real responsibility for the recent anil-foreign riots in China rests with the official and literary classes and not with the people. On the other band, the officials themselves would throw the responsibility entirely on the Ko-lao and other secret societies, and would represent themselves as being altogether innocent of any desire to molext and injure foreigners. Dr. Toba ba called the attention of readers of the M. C. Daily News to an important and semi-official public ation that has a very considerable circulation in China at the present time.
