The minutes of the previous monthly meet. sow's ear is to be transformed into a silk purse "ing (beld ́9th July, 1901) were" read and con- by this incaps." So much for the political | transformation which might concievably have been effected if there hail been present in the council of the Powers a dominant personality who knew the Chinese as well as his own mind, and if there had been a willingness to subordinate rivalries and jealousies to consider: ations of the common weal. questions in China cah wait: dynasties have become effete before, and disappeard when they had dree'd their weird; the integral ebar- acter of the provincial administration suffices for purposes of government in the meantime. (3) What can less easily wait is the question of Chance. China has resources, if they could be made available; but time is required to accom- plish reforms as well as to develop mines, and the eagles are impatient. It has been pre posed to abolish the pensions to which every Manchu is held entitled in virtue of his des cent, and to abolish, the privilege in virtue of which Manchu officials obtain fat posts without having to go through the same ex- amination as Chinese. Are the Manchu mem- bers of the Count grouped round the Empress Dowager likely to piomote the change? It has been proposed to commute the rice tribute due annually by the provinces to Peking, which not only constitutes a highly wasteful form of re mittance but affords facilities for indefinite peculation on the part of all concerned. It has been proposed to regulate the salt system. re- specting which the Chinese themselves say that all the bamboos grown in China would be insufficient to describe the iniquities involved. It has been proposed to abolish the native customs offices which exist still, even at Treaty Poris, and in merge them in the so called Fre eign Customs under the control of Sir Robert Hart.
What likelihood is there of such changes-changes dewutive, be it remarked, of "opportunities "being inaugurated by the reactionaries who in 1893 suppressed the Emperor because he was a reformer? Is it surprising that we had, instead, a proposal to double the Customs tariff, a proposition, which has the deliciously humoris characteristic from the Chinese point of view-of making foreigners recoup the indemnities, out of their own trade; and, from the point of view of non- commercial European Powers, of placing on the nation which does two turds of the trade a burden from which they would themselves largely escape Even the proposal to revise specific values fixed forty years ago, in order to make them represent effectively the five per cent. contemplated in the Treaty of Tientsin is open to the contention that, if we conscienti- ously admit the justice of restoring the treaty tariff, the Chinese should be required to fulfil certain other treaty obligations-respecting, for instance, inland transit and conservancy of rivers--which they have so far practically ignored; and we are glad to learn from Lord Cranbourne's reply, last week, to Mr. Verburgh that that view is being diplomatically sustained. A proposal to appropriate Tls. 10,000,000 from Líkin to the service of the indemnity has also its humorous side; for it amounts, from the Mandarin point of view, to riveting on trade a tax against which foreigners are never weary of protesting, and which is so contradictory of reform that a Chinese merchant lately described the suggestion as an ingenious plan by which the officials would estort Tis. 20,000,000 for their own pockets besides the Tis. 10.000.000 primarily in view. Reviewing, in the last mai! number of the North China Herald, the In perial Edict issued in pursuance of Article to of the Preliminaries of Peace, the Rev, Arnold Foster lays stress on an incidental plurase--- When a case is lost the cunning run away, but the simplewinded suffer the penalty," as summing up with delightful irony the whole situation created by the recent emente jand we are content to adopt the phrase as eminently descriptive of the present state of affairs.
After pointing out (in the course of an address delivered a few days ago at Manchester) the dangers of various kinds attendant on partition, Mr. Anderson, ex-Chairman of the China As- sociation at Shanghai, insisted strongly that the only policy for the maintenance of British com- mercial interests was to uphold the integrity of China, and to see that a progressive and reform ed Government is put in power; whereas the reinstatement of the Empress Dowager and of the reactionaries who have controlled her policy would mean the prolongation, of discontent and unrest making for revolt and disintegration. The propositions are precisely those which the Saturday Review has upheld from the first, and which we desire to restate with greater emphasis because the opportunity of making them effectual seems to be slipping away: Saturday Revizu, 6th July, 1901.

LOSS OF A SCHOONER NEAR
SINGAPORE.
The schooner Lady Florence, of ten tons, bound from Singapore to Port Dickson to gainto the trawling business there,, was blown ashore at Tanjong Johore on the 8th inst., at 5.30 o'clock and became a total wreck. The master and owner, Mr. D. C. Wilkie of Port Dick-
son, and his crew, narrowly escaped with their lives, says the Straits Times. Mr. Wilkie, states that but for the pluck of his Serang, a Malay named Montok, he would have been drowned himself. He was too aged out to swim the half raile through the surf, but Montok pulled him through. The party travelled overland from Perit Java to Muar where they caught the steamer Farfalla, which took them to this port. They arrived here at 2 o'clock on the 9th The Captain
of Farfalla reports that the "Sumatra which
