FIFTY YEARS IN CHINA.

'X COMMISSIONER'S RECORD.

MK. E. BRYANT RETIRES.

Mr. Nelson E. Bryant, Commis sioner retired) of the Chinese Cts- toms service, is spending a few days" in Shanghai prior to proceeding Home. Mr. Bryant's departure will remove from China a well-known figure, for in September last he had completed a period of 50 years' resi- dence in China, during which time he had been successively in business, in the United States Consular service, and in the Customs.

Mr. Bryant, who is a New England man, reached Hongkong in the year 1870, and proceeded to Foochow. joining Messrs. John Foster & Co. His position here he held for four years...and then joining his country's consular service he went to Hankow. having in the meantime learned Chi- nese. Afterwards he was transferred

to Newchwang and Tientsin, and while at the latter port he transferred to the Customs. This was in 1881, so that he has now completed 40 years with the Customs. As an official in this service he attained a very high mea- sure of success, reaching the rank of Commissioner. He was at Yochow in Huner during the troublous times of the past year or two, and when it is bome in mind that on one occasion the whole Customs staff had to be rescued from a position of great den ger by means of lighters, the difficul ties of the situation will readily be understood. That such measures were taken with complete success speaks" highly for the capability of the Com-

missioner.

Mr. Bryant is leaving for Amoy on- Thursday, and thereafter he proceeds Home via Europe, his intention being.. to settle in California. To the North- China Daily News his departure is matter for regret, for Mr. Bryant has been a reader for 50 years-all the time he has been in Chint--and in kosing him as a regular reader there is a distinct feeling of breaking an old tie of friendship.
