CORRESPONDENCE
¿We do not necessarily endorse the opinions expressed by Correspondants in this coluinn) CHINESE REPRESENTATION ON THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.: SIR-The letter above the name, Tse Tsan-
Tai, published in the Daily Press of the 6th instant is so calculated to injure the good feeling and harmony existing between the Chi- rese, and the Eurasians in the Colony, that it should not be passed over without comment. Is the first place, let me point out, the letter was utterly uncalled for, inasmuch as there will be no vacancy on the Legislative Council for
closer drawing together of the boads of Empire, between the home country and the Colonies; that, we could hope, would prove to be of a lasting nature. As to the future of South Africa, there would be many difficulties to over come; there was much negotiation and arrange:
ment to be carried through which would re quire delicate and careful treatment; and a great deal depended upon the men at the head these matters. The preacher concluded by of affairs for the successful accomplishment of pointing out the immense possibilities of our South African possessions and expressing the hope that the greatest good might result from their exploitation and development.

THE SURRENDERS IN

LONDON, June 7th. Lord Kilchener reports that 1,154 Boers have surrendered their arms to various com- missliners. The latter afterwards addres. sed the Boers who gave three hearty cheers for King Edward.
The best possible relations exist, and there is no hitch anywhere.::
Commandant De Wet in addressing the inmates of a Concentration Camp, urged them to do their utmost to show Great Britain what good colonists they could make for the British nation. Of the surrendered, burghers, some are being sent to farms, and others to the Concentration Camps.
from the general rule, in the appointment of their representative will tend to affect the good order and well-being of this Colony, and should not be tolerated for a moment.
Even if the Chinese were to be left to make their own selection, they would, in all pro- bability, nominate Mr. Ho Tung whose ability, energy, popularity, and public-spiritedness have endeared himself to them. He has always
been recognised by them as a member of their
community, in proof of which he was elected to the Presidency of the Tung Wa. Hospital in 1898 by an overwhelming majority, as well as to the chairmanship of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Chinese Club, and Vice-Chair- manship of the Po Leung Kuk. Mr. Tse Tsan Tai appears to be labouring, under the self delusion that he is echoing the sentiments of the Chinese Community and championing their cause,
Can you tell me Mr. Editor who is Mr. Tse Tsan Tai and what is his position and standing in this Colony.
Yours faithfully,

LONDON, 2nd June. The Continental Press, generally, expresses satisfaction in regard to the peace terms, but many of the German papers, and some of the French and Belgian joumals hint that the political problem in South Africa will not be less difficult than the military one. The tou of the American and some of the Austrian papers is more sympathetic. The home papers, generally, approve of the terms of peace, and even the Daily News congratulates the Governmaking letter that appeared in the Daily ment on its diplomatic achievements
