THE SHIPPING RING OR THE
-CONFERENCE TRICK.
Singapore, October 19th. Mercantile firms and shippers in Singapore not particularly concerned in shipping are gnashing their teeth at the last move of the Conference, which is no less than a sudden rise in freights of 5-per ton.
The Shipping Conference is an exceedingly strong puc, and has practically controlled freights from the Far East for over a year. From a low rate, caused by competition, low as to be hardly payable to ship-owners- the rate has been gradually increased, the system obtaining being a reluate on freights at the end of the year if the cargo is shipped only by Conference steamers, till now it stands at 35-

The foreigner will smile again as he reads that "most certainly" this policy is not to be adopted--"at this moment"; but it is possible, and "most probable," that "we shall be practi. cally driven to take up the white man's burden whether we like it or no." Nevertheless, the writer holds we need a small available field force on the spot in the Far East to protect the lives and property of British subjects in the Yangtse Valley from "blood thirsty insurgents." he thinks it possible we may have to depend at present on Russian soldiers for these kind offices, and he looks forward to washing out the memories of the Crimea by British and Russian blood shed in friendly cooperation.
"Senex" nakes a useful suggestion for keep ing.our l'cking Embassy more in touch with what is going on in China. He remarks on the ignorance which could let Sir Claude Mac- Donald go off seabathing just when the Empress Dowager's cup delat was breaking out, as pro- bably every foreign embassy but our own was aware, Thia his plan -
We of all the Powers are, or ought to be if we went the right way to work, in the best possible position for acquiring good information relating to every part of China, There are hundreds of capable and well-informed English missionaries spread over every district therein. Most of them would be only too glad to give valuable reports from time to the British Minister at Peking of the state of affairs in their district, Boing in the closest touch with the natives and speaking Chinese the information which they would supply would be invaluable. They say that their advice and opinion are never sought, The paper closes with a word of warning as to the possibility of the Yellow Man with the white money raining the White Man with the yellow money, though the writer disavows bimatallism; and with the hint that China could best save her empire by opening all her coast to European Powers.

Mr. R. S. Gundry, in a Fortnightly paper "The Yang-ise Region," gives this advice :-

As we have said the Conference is exceed ingly strong. The rise is no doubt dictated from bead offices, and there is not much good grumbling to agents here. Bu the question is becoming a very serious one and a solution will have to be found, Excessive transport rates have ruined many a trade.. They add not one fraction to the use-value of products, and only enchance the exchange-value, which again tends to reduce consumption.
It is a question for shippers and commercial men. But we wonder what would be the effect of the Russian Volunteer Fleet sending one of their inagnificent steamers monthly direct to London? They carry little or no cargo for a great part of the year and so are available, Six or seven thousand tons of cargo sent off montly would probably make the Conference.

It has been reported all along that the Filipinos only fight under compulsion and that the conflict is maintained in spite of the wishes of the majority of the population: Some of these facts may be true, yet the compaign still continues, though the struggle against more artilley is maintained by, comparatively speak- than 30,000 well armed men provided with ing, a mere handful of ill-equipped insurgents without means of obtaining anything beyond the very deficient war material which they how possess.
Suppose, we turn now to the Provinces, and see what can he dons within the Yang-te sphere. Each Viceroyalty, being a separate unit, having its own finance and its own militia, and enjoying within certain limitations a considerable degree of adminstrative inde- pendence, the local authorities could effect large reforms without overstepping those limits. They would need encouragement, doubt- less, and assurance of support. 1 suggest that we afford that support on condition that they accept our help in introducing necessary reforms. It would be within their power, for instance, to reorganise the Provincial militia, under British cfficers.
