and Fakhoi by certain proclamations issued by the Chinese authorities, as these pro- clamations are likely to exercise an undue influence on the Chinese merchants, war rants a careful examination into the facts and the French method of dealing with tho Chinese officials. The Fronch Minister hints at blockading Roihow, and the Chi- nesh Government pours Taels 200,000 into Mr Marty's lap. Mr Marty deserves to be heartily congratulated on the monetary agccess of the transaction. His actual loss probably did not exceed $20,000, if it reach- ed that amount, yet thanks to the pugna. cious action of a French Consul, woll sup- ported at Peking by the Diplomatic Repro. Bentative of the Republic, Ir Marty, the owner of the only French ships trading on the China coast, is indemnified to ten times the aucunt of the loss he may have sus- tained from su illegal combination of Chi- nese merchants to protect themselves from a piece of sharp, but perfectly justifiable, business practice.
