At Tungkan, ou the East River the lakin officials raised objections, but the money sxacted was refunded upon the true position being explained; and but for the subsequent slīair at Tzu-tung it might have been inferred that the transit pass-was beginning to be understood and that the millennium of foreign trade in China had dawned.
