Our German friends have shown themselves ao completely at one with us in this matter, that Fami, sure that they will heartily support our movement, and I only regret that it has not been passible to invite them to join us in this meeting of our two Assocciations. The resolution that I have to propose in :---
The A class started at 1.5 and the B class at Erica, 130, in a fairly strong east wind. Chanticleer, and Princess had, teen m at the

In February he returned, inore negotiations followed, and suddenly, we were informed that they had been finally broken off, leaving the question of Settlement extension again as much in the air as ever it was, and we may be certain that Chinese policy will be directed towards keeping it in its airy position just as long as the Chinese think that they can exploit the situation. I say therefore that the time has again come for further public action as called for in the June resolution, and I am certain that I will carry the meeting with me when i say that no more appropriate action could be taken than by the convening of such a inecting as you are attending today. (Hear, hear.) Gentlenten, the question as to why the negotiations have failed does not perhaps very much concern us, nor does it concern us to Mr. F. E. Haskell (President of the American take into account the rumeurs which during Association of China)-Gentlemen, I have the past few days, have been current in the great pleasure in seconding the resolution pro- local Press, as to there being other forces at posed by the Chairman of the China Association work apart from Chinese opposition. At the and I am sure that our Association fully en same time, however, I am at libeny to place dorses the resolution.

(Applause) should be granted, but they still accompany The hinese authorities apparently found it them with conditions which would nullify the necessary to admit the principle of Settlement benefits we are asking. Beyond this, as the extension, but in making the admissions they Chairman of the China Association has told cut down the area of the claimed extension in | you, a few years ago, the extension of the such a way us, on that point alone, to render | Hongkew Settlement was granted without any continuation of negotiations impossible. But conditions beyond what existed previously. apart from the restriction of area, we now learn that the terms now to be attached to any exten- sion were such as to absolutely prove the insincerity of the Chinese in the whole matter. It is these terms that I am about to read to you. They are hended: “A Proposition of Eight Articles for the Extension of the Settle ment—I quote them as I have them and am not responsible for the diction. The first article is:
น
"This time, after the extension Settlement, the rights of the Chinese residents within the same shall be equal to those of the residents of other nationalities, with no difference.whatever, and Chinese ought to vote on the occasion of nomiuntion of Councillors," (Laughter.)
A very pleasing regulation so far as Chinese are concerned, and no doubt they would supply us with, a very nice Chinese Council, which would of course save the foreign devils a lot of
trouble. (Laughter.)
Art. 2.--" Wäinants from Chinese'nuthorities { for apprehension of Chinese, such Chinese not concerning the interests of foreigners, will hot be taken to the Senior Consul for endorsement, and will be dealt with per original regulation. of the Mixed Court,"
|
Most of us have experienced the tactics of the Chinese, either in their official or commercial capacity, which are procrastination, haggling, and raising new issues to fire out the foreigner, In this matter I hope the latter will not be tired out, and that it will be monde plain to the Chinese that there are certain rights and certain things which they will have to concede, and that they cannot bar all pro- gress. We are only asking for what will benefit them equally with us, and I hope the resolution will be carried. (Applause. )

Mr. F. Anderson-Als. Chairman and gentle- men, on behalf of the Municipal Council I would merely like to say that the terms' which Air, Dudgeon han read out to us to-day have been heard by us for the first time. They have been heard by us for the first time. They have not been communicated to us, and I am quite sure when they are, I ain expressing the Chinese-ruth of and moon of 25th year of Scorr's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with unanimous opinion of the Council when I that they will be received with feelings of amusement, if not of indignation. If this is the result of three and a-half years' negotiations it seems to me in be quite clear that the Chinese are treating the matter in a spirit of mockery. They would not treat any one of the Great Powers in this spirit, and the fact that they have done so to the Consular Body representing all the Great Powers appears to Art. 3.-- Public buildings belonging to the me to argue that either they think the Consuls Chinese Government situated within the are not in earnest in the demands which they extended Settlement ought to be governed have made, or that there are so great dissen- according to their established regulations;sions among them that they can treat it in this foreigners will not interfere with such govern spirit with impunity, I, therefore think that the action which the proposer of the resolution, | Mr. Dudgeon, and Mr. Haskell laid before us to-day, manicly that the negotiations should now be pressed not by the Consular Body as a whole, but by the two nationalities whose Baines the Settlements bear, and any others who are willing to cooperate with them; is the most likely to lead to success. (Hear, hear)
That is to say that in the Settlements the yamén runners of the Chinese authorities can do as they please.

There is a smell of the Ningpo Juss-house" bout this and such a regulation would no doubt produire other smells and nuisances.
Art. 4—” Akur the present extension of the Settlement the area will be larger than the original Settlement”—whichí is no doubt truc- "thereafter all nations, without exception, will be included within this cosmopolitan Settle ment; no further extension will be asked for:"
The cosmopolitan idea is no doubt all right, and the matter of "no further extension" will no doubt have the special, attention of at least one nationality from its own particular point of
interest.
Au 5.4" Formerly when China, consented to grant a Settlement to Japan in Shanghaj and other places; it was specified in the treaty. about a differential duty on foreign and native goods and establishment of manufactories, the present extension of Settlement, making the same cosmopolitan, the duty ought to remain as per previous original treaty."
I do not know vlint that micans, but it seems to savour of likin, and to be a sort of general shot at industrial enterprises in the extended Settlement. We have been shot at enough goodness knows, in our industrial enterprises in the present Settlement.
The apparently means that no taxation of Chinese can be made without the approval of the Chinese authories, but really the matter is so mixed up that i can with confidence leave. to Mr. Consul Brenan, whose name is men. tioned in connection with it."

The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously,
Mr. C. Thorne-You have just heard it expressed by Mr. Anderson that it will probably be of very little use if this is merely referred to the Consular Body, It therefore shows the necessity of bringing forward another resolution, which I have now the pleasure of moving (-
That the resolution now passed be comma. nicated by wire both to London and Washing ton, and to our respective Ministers in Peking. We hope this may produce a different result from what it has done hitherto.
