In the House of Commons to-) day Mr. Wardlaw Milne asked whether the British Minister in China had instructions to sign any agreement with China.

He could not promise Mr. Ward-}| law Milne that no agreement could be signed until the House of Commons considered the terms, because at the right time the Government would have to take the responsibility.-Reuter.
