NOTES AND COMMENTS.
We note from recent Issues of our Shanghal contemporaries that there has been either in fact or, at all events, In contemplatit an attempt on the part of the Chinese authorities to "jump a clalm"-as the North China Daily New puts it-at Shanghai, and that those who held what they believed to be riparian rights to certain portions of foreshore are disputing the legality of the action of the Chinese and, mirabile dick, rely to a certain extent upon Chinese law and custom for a settlement of the dispute in a manner agreable to the foreign loscoes. The land in respect of which the difficulty has arisen is known as "Bund foreshore" that is, it is foreshore of land within the boundaries of a foreign $$ settlement, or concession, Presumably It is a portion of the beach or bank of the Whangpoo River. Assuming this be so, we have no hesitation in saying that the claim of the Chinese authorities is preposterous, that no question of the kind should ever have arisen, and that prompt and very décisive action should be taken to settle DAKIN, CRUICKSHANK & once and for ever whatever issues are

It la said that the Shanghailanders rely largely on Chinese law and custom as giving the holders of the land a right to accrations, and it is also stated that Chinese law is elastic enough to work in all sorts of waya." We are afraid that there is something radically wrong form in which and slipshod in the tittle deeds are drawn up in the Model Settlement. We can well belleve that Chinese law-if there is such & thing as low in China is elastic enough to work in all sorts of ways," but fall to appreciate the necessity, in the premises, ASPBERRYADE, &c. for rellance being placed in Chinese law and custom. If our friends rely upon British law and, British Justice for a proper settlement of the dispute there would be some hope of the foreigners lessly disturbed their peace of mind; but, on the contrary, we are told they rely on Chinese custom and Chinese law lii

THE LOTHAIRE TRIAL.
LONDON, August 6th. The acquittal, of Major Lothaire has beau confirmed on appeal at Benniels. The news papers comment blitcrly on the acquittal. - [The Saturday Ravfew recently commented on
on the Latbair affair as follows:-It app at that the Brussels papers were premature la announcing that Major Lothare had been acquitted before being tried; but the fact that the reg it originated in the Belgian capital, and was circulated in good faith, shows what those who know beat think of the administra tion of Justice at Roma. The point for us is, that it led to the interesting disclosure that the Bilish Government had no means of secertatu ing the truth or falsehood of the report. The situation, then, is this: 'a Brilish subjeci la murdered in the teallory of a friendly State, «Ir is no secret," sayı the Financial News, wed his goods stoten by the murderer, Full that several of the members of Lloyd's have trial and justice are promised, the accused mezawhila continuing his official career for for some years past been doing a considerable some fifteen or sixican months before he turns business in Insuring against twins, and up for trial, and when the investigation is duonot a few cartons stories are afisat as ki Boms, the British Government maintains such a detached attitude about the whale Affair that it cannot or will not give the murdered man's relatives any Information, The Foreign Office does not even ream to be quite sure whether it is represented at the trial or not. We are assured, however, that Major Lothaire is being proceeded against on an indictment under which it will be in the pswer of the tribunal, if he be found guilty, to inflict a fine of twenty-five francs! And all the while the Foreign Office gives no answer to the petition of Stokes's mother, who was dependent on an allowance from him, and who asks for some of the money in the hands of the Government to keep her from destilation.]

This reminds us of a story: Easty in the fifties an English showwan exhibited a strange animal which, he used to tell his audience, measured 3 leet 3 Laches from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tall, and 3 feet 6 inches from the tip of its tali to the tip' of its nose. But the showman himself always expressed some doubt on this remarkable fact, According to which way the rouble rolle, then the Russian bear in Vladivostock is 6 feet 3 faches from tip to tip one way, and 3 feet and 6 inches the other way. That is ne Doar as wa can come to an explanation of the policy of Russia in the East. Of course we could splo this out to two or three columos, but why should we?

LORD Charles Beresford paid a visit to-the House of Commons the other day and addressed the Parliamentary Committee of the Navy League on the question of manning the Fleet. St. Charles Dilke occapled the chair. The strengthening of the Reserve will form an important feature in the Naval programme sext session. At present the Admiralty entertala the opinion that in the event of war every ablp in the Navy could be manned by taking 11,000 sallors from the Reserve,,, Lord Charlev, how- ever, holds that at present the Reserve is not a vlog really. It is, ha considers, deficient is the exient of at least 20,000 men, And, furthermore, a portion of the is ineffective because it has had no een training, and no practice except with obsolete gua. He/ quite appreciated the difficulties of "My Lorda " at Whitehall, but they had laid it down that the safety of the nailon depended on the strength of the Fleet, and he deemed it his duty to educate the nation as to the shortcomings of the Navy. He had been urged, 'he såld, not to badger the Admiralty, because they had done so much already. Fally and freely he allowed that they had accomplished an enormous amount, but not erough for the complete safety of the nation, and they should not rest until that end was attained. The speech, which was delivered with characteristic energy, gave rise to an animated discussion.
THE North-China Daily News comments an the "rise in the tariff of the English, Danish, and Chinese telegraph administrations as follows:-Two advertisements which appear in another part of our impression this morning will be read with a good deal of surprise, for they announce a totally unexpected Incre in the telegraph rates from Shanghal, obrigidly as the result of the Imperial Chinese Telegraph Admin. tetration abandoning, its independent attitude, The identity of the terms of the announcement, and the "cutpayments to other Telegraph administrations" being given in each caso as a reason, are curlous, if not convincing.
