- In addition to this, blackmail has been going on to a very serions extent. Several desarters. from defeated Chinese regiments have availed themselves of opportunities presented by the satire absence of any attempt at control or supervision over the district, and arming them-- selves with the rifles and ammenition left on the battle field at Ticrobuongtai, jevy regar qua from boats paseiny. Resistance on the part of the boatmon monte confiscation of their. dlotting and all belongings of any value, and † consequent y blackmail is paid without question Liaoying deplors have had therefore some excuse for their mathor high-handed prococdings, unfortunate though the result has been, and as doubt by this time they have fully experienced the feelings of the pousssor of a certain goose with golden oggs.

I am glad to go that in spite of the very logical arguments advanced by some re the inutility of docking gunboats in Nowchwang (arguments. by-the-byo put forward by those who well in more southern climos) it has bean considered advisable to place H..8. Ratiler. here for our protection during the winter monila. As, from all resants, ale Japanese will evacuate the port about the end of January, there it, or rather would have been, a possibility of a little unpkastess, if the Chinese soldiers anterad before the civil authorities were firmaly established.

Dos of the missionarias have returned to their stations, where they will presumably spend the winter. No one outside their own im mediate direto sa sinomor respect for the theory and ustazsible object of their work than myself, but I must say it seeman astound- ing to me that men knowing the nature of the Celestial as they shouli, still apparently consider it a right and proper thing to take their wives and clsiliren into the heart of the latorios. Can they imagine for one moment that the events of last winter are calealated to soften the Chinese hearts towards intṛuilers? The Red Cross Hospital certainly did a great deal towards showing Chinamen that foreigners have their asss, bat how long will that impres- sion last, and how for has it penetrated? I have no wish to be thought a orcoker or to ang gest dangers where nous exist, but history Ens

Most of us lavo neon the so-called Hou-tamer put his head in the beast's mouth, and though a strongly approve of encouraging a morbid taste for unch exhibitions we generally make use of the argument "if he chooses to toka the risk it's no affair of ours." Show me the man, however, who would daze, before a civilised audiente, to take his children inte the cage and expost them to the same risk! And yet this vory spectacle, or something extremely like it is now presented to the eyes of an antience of all the Euruper Powers, and the dissentient voices would be drowned by an ordinary "round of lussos ata provincial music hall.N C.

The London correspondent of the Manchester Gurkan saya-Two diplomate posts of expe cial importance at the present time have to be filled shortly by Lord Saliabury, The frat is that of Minister to China, Vacant by the promotion to St. Petersburg of Bir Nicho las O'Connor. The nose are suggested in ollicial circles-Sir Arthur Nicolson- and Mr. Haury Howard, both of whom have sarval in the Legation at Peking. : Sir Arthur Nicolson was second secretary there in 1878, and has since served in Persia; while Mr. Boward was secretary froin 1857 to 1889. A third neins that has hoon- mentioned is that of Mr. Boat- clark, the present sonretary at Poking, why is married too daughter of Sir Robert Bark The promotion of a socratary to the head of the song mission is conaary to all official practice I have, however, runsōns do believe that the op- pointment will not be on the usual oficial Hacy, Lub will be in the maiuro of a surprise, Lord Salisbury-and this is evan shore true of Lotil Rosebery in, not an out-and-out beliovor in the doctrine laid down' by Sir Edward Malet in his recent speech in Berlin, that diplominoy is for Old Maiwa 7,5, 9 do 1730 8 tla the members of the diplomati tervice only Tatua (Nex) doctrine which wonki have kept out of "diplo" | macy such me a Sir William White, Lord Croce, Bir Harry Parkos, Sir Thomas Wede, Sir Drummond Wolff, Bir Henry Layard, and even Lord Dufferin himself. A* dark horse”. will, in my opinion, win the post at Poking. The second vacancy is in Siam, where we hara not had a Ministar, sinco Mr. J. G. Nents task. to bis fruntior wanderings once more at the call of duty. It is a subject of musli comment in India that a post of so much importanos at this moment should bo left toneserotary while Franos has been careful to have a Ministor. The delay,
