Mr. F, A. Aglen, now Commissioner at Nanking, has been appointed Chief Secretary to the Inspector-General at Peking, Mr. H. M. Hillier replacing him at Nanking. As the post of Chief Secretary has been left vacant for some time, this appointment has given rise to considerable speculation on political grounds, as it is known that efforts have been made to have otter Commissioners appointed to the post As the position gives an opportunity of learning the routine of Sir Robert Hart's duties, it is regarded in this instance as bearing some semi- blance to the oppointment of an understudy, and as Mr. Aglen is thought to be “a strong adherent to the British control of the Chinese Customs, in opposition to the mooted Interan- CHINA AND JAPAN tional control, his appointment is regarded as significant.
