Chinese Interference. At a meeting of the Commercial Bureau, the opinion was held that the American- China Development Company had trans- ferred the rights of the railway to the Bel- gians, contrary to the supplement to the agreement art. 17, and that on account of the creating of disturbances by the mech- antos, having many times resulted in the loss of life for which reason the unexpected tuny possible turn up in the future it was decided to uphold the point regarding the cancellation of the agreement. The native gentry of Kwangtung, especially Tsor Chung Fen, and Wu Chuan Jui, have jointly petitioned to the Wai Wu, Pu, the Viceroy of Kwangtung, the Viceroy of Hopch, and the Cantonese officiala at Pe-
king, notably Tai Hung Cho, Wu Ting Fang, and Chang Chen Hauan, also Tong Hua Hao, who is in Shanghai and who has been requested to approach: Sheng Kung' Tos, that the rights of the railway may be restored to Chins.-Eastern Times.
The Chinese Government has decided to cancel the agreement with the American- China Development Company regarding the concession of the railway between Han- kow and Canton. Sheng Kungpao has 1376 wired the Peking Government asking that the American bonds of over four million be seized before cancelling the agreement and that Sir Chengtung Liang, the Chinese Minister to Washington, be ordered by wire to attend to the matter by taking legal steps there. As payment has been stopped by the Railway administration of the Han- SUITE of 2 ROOMS, on the Ground-kow-Canton Railway all the engineers in Ar of the Annex, suitable for

Sheng Kung Pao has sent a telegram to Peking, the effect of which was that he would maintain the point that the agreement had been cancel- led, and that the transfer of the concern was to be purely American, not Belgian. Further, that upon the return of the Ame- rican merdhant, he would discuss the terms of the agreement with him, but that he has made various
demands for privileges, and that nothing to the desired end can be socomplished for the time being. He also requested that the American Minister at Peking might be noti- fied that the transfer was to be purely Am- erican, no foreign intervention whatever being allowable.

ENGLAND AND THE WAR.
A striking exemplification of the beliefs
entertained by many Russiana regarding Great Britain's responsibility for the pre-
sent war is afforded by an article publish-

Dantchenko. He say :-
"In the Far East we are ourselves playing the game of our good friends the British. Last Summer I made the acquaintance in Italy of two Englishmen. We chanced to converse on the future destinies of the world. They said :-In Winter you will begin war with Japan, according to our belief.
At first you will be beaten by the Japanese. They have been preparing for seven years, while you have been star gazing. But you will get the upper hand, for your forces are inexhaustible. Japan To you this will be completely ruined.
•
war will be a Colonial war, while to them it will be a national war. The first ruina temporarily, the second, in case of failure, destroys a nation. Japan, having no money, will mortgage with us her railways, her fleet, her mineral wealth, her Customs. She will only have left the 'geisha' and the And 'mousme,' but we do not want them
"
in the near future Japan will be marked on the maps in the same colour as India, -"But Burmah, the Philippines, and the Philippines balong to America," caso of need we shall unite, and there will be in the whole world only one master-the
Anglo-Saxon.
"In
Apropos of this article, the Sviet says
• Great Britain, in preparing the present war, knew very well beforehand all the Military preparations that had been made by Japan, the fanaticism of her troops, as also the aim pursued by the Japanese nation in this struggle-namely, the solution of the question of her existence. Britain also foresaw that the struggle would be long and desperate, and that it would make many victims. But that is precisely what Great Britain wanted.

them. The Provincial authorities say that they bave no money to carry out the work, and there is either some truth in their statement or they are holding on to it so closely that they cannot be induced to part with it. The barriers have to be removed and since the Provincial authorities will not meet the expense of the work it is being unjustly
thrown upon the shoulders of the Customs. To find the necessary money they are alleged to be compelled to draw upon the tonnage dues, and particularly the steam tonnage dues-dues that are paid by shippers for the lighting of the coast, for harbour im- provements, for surveying, and for the carrying out of other minor works necessary to ensure the safety of ships and property. Although the removal of barriers is a harbour improvement it is not the kind that dues aro paid for. It is a special type of work that the Chinese should pay for out of their own pockets, since the barriers were wilfully put down to keep ships from going up stream.

The advantage of having its sugar ad- mitted into the countries that adhere to the Convention at the lowest rate of Import duty is secured for the Colony, provided, in the first instance, that no bounty is given by the Colony on sugar manufactured in or exported froin it; and provided, secondly, that the necessary steps to prevent sugar that comes from countries that give bounties without making it per- fectly clear that such sugar has received bounties. Of course, Hongkong does not give any bounty on sugar. With regard to the second proviso the Imperial Govern- ment has undertaken for us that it shall be fulfilled. This undertaking may be given effect to in two ways. First of all sugar might be refined in bond; sugar coming from a bounty-giving country might be kept always separate from sugar com ing from countries not giving bounty, and official. certificate

The other method is to keep together all sagar coming from countries giving boun-
LECTURE.
• Adam and Eve,' Last evening the Rev. C. H. Hickling delivered his weekly lecture on the above subject. He said that the question of origin was as interesting as it was undoubtedly important, What were we? What was our origin? Shakespeare said 'it's a wise child that knows its own father.' It was an old saying that you had to live with a man ora woman before you really know them. In Yorkshire at one time there was a man, noted for his prodigious memory. A visitor went to interview him and said eventually to his wife, How proud you must be of your husband.' Her reply was He's a foo. I suppose she know. Some men who prosper in the world did not like to be reminded of their poorer days. But there was no disgrace in honest poverty and no real stigma attaching to honest toil. Pride of pedigree was strong in many. A time back a man boasted that he traced his pedi- greg back to Noah and could have traced it farther still but the family records were lost in the flood. The desire for good parentage was commendable. We could not choose our parents; but the best possession a child could have is a good father and mother. What could be said of our first parents? Man WAS not long left alone. Then what? A lady speaker, in the course of an impressive speech of Woman's Rights, asked Where would man have been, if it had not been for woman?' There was at first no reply, but on the query being repeated with emphasis, a far away voice called out. In Paradise. Of course that was a rude remark, quite in keeping with the whole history of the male animal, But this took us back to the story in Gene- sia-the story of the fall. He used the word fall' notwithstanding the assertion by one species of Evolutionist that a fall was in consistent with progress, with that upward movement which was characteristic of life on the earth. But there were objections to the idea of a continuous growth out of bar barism into civilization. Notwithstanding, Mr Clodd and others, it was anything but historically certain that modern harbarism represented the state of primeval man.. Dr MacKennal and others had pointed out that the most primitive historical languages ro- vealed fragments of an earlier grammar; The purposes of the amendment, he said, antiquities in some barbarous tribes dis- -the amending of an Ordinance which played a lost masteryover mechanical forces; Was passed in January last-was fetishism and superstition were now held 48 to whether the principal Ordin- faith.
