cial interests at nauy places in China Before briefly intlicating the advantages which will accrue to foreign residents a the open ports by the stringent enforce ment of this notification, we may be permitted to point out an error into which most of our China contemporaries appear to havefallen-regarding the status enjoyed by Chinese who by longrenidenosin

British colony are popularly supposed to become British subjects. We have before drawn attention to the erroneous nctions entertained on this point, but apparently without effect. According to the law of England, residence in a British colony does not confer the right of natu ralization upon an alien, beyond the limits of the colony in which he resides. In special instances British naturalization is extended to the children of locally ́naturalized. Asistics if they be born in a British possession, but even this does not extend to Hongkong, so that the absurd assumption of our morning cou- temporary regarding the evils which would be inflicted upon the Chinese of this colony are quite baseless. Any mole Chinese, domiciled here is for legal put
