Thie is con- firmed by the statement of the Chang Ngoi San Po that the Viceroy has wired to the Taungli Yamen asking what steps he is to take, as he is quito unable to satisfy the French in the matter of the delimitation.

Knowing the duplicity with which the Viceroy of Canton neted in the matter of our own ex- stasjon it would not be at all surprising to learn that the trouble at Kwangchuwan was principally of his making. On the other hand there is good reason to suppos that France would not be dhinclined to seize upon any pretext for mak-is ing encroachments upon the Kwangtung province. Something of that kind may be the particular chestant that she hopes to draw out of the Transvaal fire,
