IMPERIAT: DEGREES.

26th November.

THE LATEST ACT OF PATRIOTISM.

(1) The Granil Secretary Kaja Kang (Man" chu, President of the Bureau Compiling the Collected Institutes of the Dynasty, reports that, filled with patriotism and loyalty, the compilers have succeeded in economising expenses and making retrenchment on the ordinary outlay to the total amount of over Tls, 60,000, which the sand compilers desire to return to the Imperial Exchequer in view of the financial difficulties of the Government" instead of retaining the money saved for their nwa benefit. We greatly commend this action- of the members of the said Bureau and com- mand that the money saved by them be handed to the Board of Revenue.

"Abolish the likin," Mr. Gardner repeated with emphasis, and reform the administration. Let me say this to you: the people, having no confidence in their courts, right their own wrongs, and indulge in clan fights, which are most pernicious to trade and industry, These clan fights swell into brigandace and piracy; all over the country they lead to the

on small and large scale of growing crops and property. When these clan fights assuine large proportions they are mentioned in newspapers; but it is the in- finite number of amali clan fights that pass Funnoticed that do the greater mischief in sap-. ping the wealth of the country. Close to Amoy clans have begged Brithish subjects not to destroy the tigers in the neighbourhood, be cause the presence of these tigers intimidate hostile clans from devastating their sugar crops at night-time."

INTERVIEW WITH MR. C. T. GARDNER, C.M.G. Abolish the kin, the salt monopoly, remove the prohibition against the export of grain, reform the adininistration of the country, and open the country to British capital and by permitting British subjects to obtain railway and mining concessions, to engage in manufactures, and lease agricultural land in the interior, and then, and then only," said Mr. C. T. Gardner, C.M.., to a Pall. Mall Gazelle representative, can we hope for a perfectly satisfactory trade with China

Few men living have a better right to be heard upon this subject that Mr. Gardner, a singularly vigilant and active-looking man, having regard to the length and nature of his experiences amongst the Chinese. He entered the Consular service in 1861, became Consul at Kiunchow in 1877, acted as Consul-General in Korea, and was mure recently at Amoy. "How," he was asked, "do you hope these reforms may be obtained?"

"Formerly," he replied, "we supposed that the Chinese would be swayed by the same arguments that bring conviction to our own minds; we supposed that; once we could per sunde the Chinese governing classes that a certain course would be beneficial to their country, the difficulties in the way of that course being adopted would be done away with. Most of us are now aware that this supposition was an illusion. The Chinese governing classes are not swayed by the good of their country, but by thoughts of their personal interest. Of two things there can be no doubt; first the existence of the fact :: secondly, that in persuading the Chinese, to a cestain courae we must bear this fact in mind, and modify our mode of argument accordingly. Take one point for example: Pressure, which is resented by the governing classes of most countries in the world, is often welcomed, and even some. times solicited by the Chinese."

Mr. Gardner elaborated this point, and pressed it. Some ludicrous examples of the way in which the Chinese leg, pray, and entreat

to be pressed he mentioned. He had been be- sought by Chinese witnesses to torture them before they gave evidence which would raise against them the enmity of the people injured by their evidence. If they only appeared to yield to the torture it would be, all right. He bad known them to refuse to save drowning people because of the idea that as there was always a certain number of ghosts of drown. ed persons the ghosts would bear them a So pressure had to be applied to save rudge. hem. In one important instance à Viceroy had said he could only yield if he was enabled to say that the British representative had threa icned to blow up the place. So this fiction was permitted. Individual resentments were fir more, formidable to Chinese officials than to oficials of other countries; by such resentment a Chinese official was not only exposed to the loss of place and, forttine, never very secure, but his family and clan might be exposed to poverty and even personal outrage."

*To obtain these reforms," continued Mr. Gardner, "it will not only be necessary to put a certain amount of pressure on the officials of Peking and the provinces, but to secure such officials against the enmity of their own people. We shall also have to support them against the resentment of others, and perhaps even against the resentment of foreign Powers, who may. press for exclusive advantage, or who may with for the disintegration of the country. If the United States, as far as China is concerned, will throw in their lot with.us, and will co-operate with us in putting the neces sary pressure on China, and in guaranteeing that the officials shall not suffer by following the advice of the British and Americans, then we could probably go full steam ahead without waiting. If we fail to obtain American co- operation, while there would be no need to despair, the course of reform would be slower. If Great Britain and the United States join together in the unselfish policy of insisting that China shall be well governed, so that China may become wealthy and prosperous and in a position to purchase the products of all nations, and on condition of such good government, will support the officials and the country from disintegration, it is probable most foreign, Go vernments would acquieser, and that none would resist the reforms, at least openly.”.

"But with regard to the policy of the open door?" was hinted.

The policy of the 'open door," he said, is not necessarily imcompatible with that of spheres of influence. To the whole Empire there should be the 'open door through which the manufactures of all nations of the world should be allowed to enter on the same terms, and through which, also on the same termis, the product of China should be allowed to go to all parts of the world. From province- to province, from district to district, there should be open doors through which both foreign and native goods should pass freely. This would not militate against the subject of special pow ers being given in specialized localities, special railway &mining concessions. Such specialized localities may be called spheres of influence. There is no great harm to be apprehended from China in consultation with Great Britain United States, Germany, Russia, France, and the other Powera specializing the localities in which she will grant railway and mining con- cessions to each of the various foreign Powers. In this connection it is highly desirable to in duce the Chinese Government to inaugurate services on the lines of the Imperial Maritime Customs to administer and regulate railways, mines, manufactures, and agriculture-boards of trade, in fact, which might either be placed under the present Inspector of Castons, or which might be governed in the way the mari time customs is governed by independent in spectors, assisted by a cosmopolitan staff of natives and occidentals” was doing
