He did not think the Chinese wished any other than that Europeana should benefit from what they had done in eponing up the country, but they looked askance at robbery. The Chinese were not a bigoted people, and though the liter- 1 ary class and the scholars regarded the teaching of Confucius an infallible, they were not a people who had shown any great animosity to any particular religion.

The Japanese expecta tion that a large influx of foreign capital would result has proved quito fallacions, and the difcaltios experienced in regard to the regis tantion and transfer of land in the former for those who have hitherto invested in Japan eiga settlements are discouraging, even to
