SOME INLAND WATERS
OF CHINA,"
The Chinese Empire, with ito magnificent natural system of internal waterways, forms a ❘ vast area that is clearly marked out as the future cruising ground for the modern shallow
draft steamer.
Prior to the declaration of the opening of the inland waters of this Empire to forsign steamer traffic-which concession, was wrong from the Mandarins at Pekin' by Great Britain as a set off against China's breach of faith in the matter of the Siamese Buffar State can vention with France--foreign merchants had to content themselves with the status quo. ̧
The negotiations 'recently carried on by Sir James Mackay and his colleagues has resulted, nominally at leas', in the acceptance of ab- solutely free navigation of the riverine system throughout the Chinese Empire. A thorough regeneration of the existing official mode of procedure of the native customs is too much to expect, but some amendmest is hoped for which will allow loreign merchandise to rap some benefit for the concessions made in the matter of the Tariff,

In some of its reaches, notably those above Tsin-kiang 'pu, it has been allowed shoal and the embankments require repairs. Nothing is needed, however, but simple conservation to maintain it as the finest water-way of its kind in the world.

Nevertheless, in the case of one of the belted beauties the fashion has an extremely droll result. Quite lately she met a Chinaman who expressed his admiration of the sentiments set forth in the lettering of her belt. "It is beautiful," he said, "and 1 congratulate you on the excellence of your mottoes, which, 1 think, are unusual in your country." "Oh, the sentiments," replied the gratified owner of the adornment. Do tell me what the characters mean." "There are but two wishes expressed," said the Chinaman, "but as they are repeated several times over I know they must be your true aspirations; one is, May all my enemies die by ionure' and the other is, *May I have
