KONGKONG, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1897,

THE Reply of the Board of Revenue to a Memorial, addressed to the Throne by Li Hong Chang and others, respecting the Chins Merchputs Steamor Company, deserves more than passing notice. Its exhaustiveness suggests that new blood bus recently been infused into the

notion of the Board, and probably the

Marquis Tseng has something to do with the change. The curious hybrid com bination known as the Chiacae Mor chants' Company is a produes of the transition state of Chinn, and may b described in these daya as one of the symptoms of the awakening of the Em- pire. It is a product of the great Chi- nese statesina Li Hung Chang, who is very much awake to the interests of his country na à vis the go-abend foreigner. But this peculiar developmeat of esmi official, semi-commercial enterprise is also a standing proof of the vast diff-| culties which must be overcame before China can be said to have been awakon ed thoroughly ton true sense of ice post- tion. The argument which has been so forcibly used by our correspondent, Sin-
