the lath. instant. It happened that on this day the Chinese Chamber of Commerce nad invited the Foreign Consuls and merchants on Shamien to lunch at 1.00 p.m. in order to celebrate the recognition by Foreign Powers of the Republic of China. When Mr. Gilman and I arrived at the Yemen at 11 a.m. Lung Tutu informed me that the Civil Governor was un- -able to be present as he had to attend at the Chamber of Commerce banquet. In the circumstances, as both Mr. Gilman and I were going to the lunch, the excuse was rather a transparent one. After a few minutes formal conversation, I informed the Tutu that I must protest against the breach of faith of which he had been quilty in regard to his promise to Mr. Jamieson that the conditions of the export of limestone would be the same as those which obtained in the days of the Empire.

firm: he did not see on what grounds a foreign firm could interfere. I
endeavoured to explain the fallacy of this reasoning that the extra payment would ultimately come out of the pockets of the Green Island Cement Company, that he could prohibit local taxation if he wished and that such a tax as that proposed was absolutely prohibitive, but he was impervious to reason. He declared that the Ce..ent Company would also pay a similar tax for local purposes, but he was not prepared to pro- -dude satisfactory proof thereof. I informed him that, were the tax levied on both companies alike, it might compel the Cement Works as
