Canton, 18th July, 1898. S15,-Refering to your “Notice to ika Public to the Fablic of Cunton" dated the 54th lost. and reading an follows:-
"Henry R. Williams Eig, of Califorsla has been appointed Vice Consul of the United States at Cantón,"
We the Undersigned, Merchants and Traders at Canton, would beg respect fully to point out to you that it is highly undesirable that anyone engaged in mercantile pursuits should act as Vice Consul of the United States.
We would wish it to be most clearly and un- mistakeably undertødd that we have not the
■Ughtest objeciton in Mr. Henry R. Williams personally and could not wish for a better official, were be not at the same time the active representative of Mears Flood, Kirch & Co, at this post in which capacity he is brought into direct mercantile competition with all those firms engaged in business, with the United
States.
The peculiar conditions of American Trade, lavalvlog as they do the most latimata relations between Consuls and Shippers, are well known to you, and it is therefore quite unnecessary to enter more particularly into the very obricas reasons why the appolatment of a member of the mercantile Community to the post of United States Vice-Consal is opposed to all commercial etiquette, and distsiteful to Mer« chants generally,
We might mention that a similar appointment wa mide by the late Consul Hon. Char Seymour, who selected Mr. G. D. Feason of Hearts Deacon & Co., for the past. On dis- covering the general antipathy to the appoint. ment, Mr. Fearon at once résigned, and thus any official correspondence with the Authorities a Washington was happily avoided.
We would be glad, in the present instance, to avoid any reference to the" Home Authorities and therefore place our interests in your hands, feeling sure you will give them every consider? allop.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient sarvanis,

Out of 200 shells thrown info his fort, no fower than 170, burst over his head,and yet he escaped unharmed. A great many people were inclined to distanst him, bot be could only say that when the chief had him- sell (Mr. Cowls) and alker representative of the company actually in his power, he showed no disposition whatever to be treacherous, foar of farther rising was at an end, and there Ittle doubt that if Mat Sailek behaved himself he would eventually be made a Government chief With regard to the fature of the country, Mi, Cowie asid 1 We have territory farger than Ireland und The following subscriptions, to the above absolutely belonging this company.
