NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Wepublish In another column the full text of the Liaotung Retrocession Convention, as we received it to-day from our Special Correspondent in North China. We are, we belleve, the first in the field with a copy of this important document, about which so much has been sald and written in all parts of the clvilised world during the past few months. At all events the Shanghai papers received to-day contain no mention of the full text of this treaty having yet got any further than the various legations to Peking, and we have reason to believe that a few days will elapse before the exact terms of the retrocession of Liaotung will become public property in the Model Settlement.
By this Convention Japan waives all claims to the southern portion of the province of Fengtlen, which includes the peninsula in which Port Arthur is situated, and thus the whole of Manchuria reverts to China, who, being unable to hold it has made arrangements with Russia desig. ned to prevent it again falling into the hands of Japan or any other nation except Russia. Whether the designs of LETTERS CUT AND FILLED WITH IMPERISHABLE China will be as effective in practice, should they ever be put to the test, as the advisers of the Emperor Kwang-au could wish is a matter which we shall probably hear more of in the "sweet by and by."

It is worthy of note that the meaning of the English text of the Llaotung Conven- tion is to rule in the event of any differences arising respecting the interpretation of the Chinese or Japanese texts.
We commend to our readers' attention the sagacious, carefully thought-out, and remarkably accurate article given in a supplement to this issue. It is taken from The Scotsman (Edinburgh) of the 30th ultimo. It deals with the excitement' created by the famous Port Arthur. telegram, and, inter alia, endorses our opinion that the denial of the existence of a secret treaty by Russian officials Is not far removed from an admission that such a treaty has been in some way arranged between Russia and China,
MR. REID'S MISSION TO THE
* UPPER TEN”
According to reports which reach us tie Shanghal, the Rev. GILBERT REID, whose "mission to the upper classes of Chinese" excited no little good-natured ridicale last summer, is now reaping the | fruits of the seed sown In stony ground. His theory is that, owing to the system of government, it is only through the officials that the diffusion of Christian knowledge is to be effected, and, acting on this theory, he has been endeavouring for some years to win over the officials in Peking to a better under standing of Christian knowledge and Christian religion. A man of superior training and great ability, he has, by constant Intercourse with the official classes made for himself a reputation as a man of letters and gained the respect of the vast majority of the "Upper Ten" with whom he has come In contact. When the Boards in Peking found, after the conclusion of pesce 'with Japan, that the country was in danger of distintegration, and knew not which way to turn for advice, he threw himself boldly. Into the breach, and became comforter and adviser. Through the intervention
