American Treaty on the 8th October, 1903, must stand out as an act of supreme importance. Its articles are too fresh in mind to need a recap tulation in this report. Suffice it to say that the general theory underlying the whole treaty is that the interests of both America and China aro advanced. The days of the diplomcy which selfishly took advantage of a wreak opponent and by short-sighted and narrow policies gained some ready advantage to the neglect of great future benefits have passed,

Probably the most warious interference with American interests is the disturbed dition of affairs in Manchuria, political and commercial: a rapidly-grasing business with, much to the Ices of manufacturers of cotton goods in America and to merchants in Chins. It is estimated that the shrinkage of imports of American gotton goods, when the figures of this year are compared with those up to the corresponding date of last year, reaches approximately 2,000,000 pieces. The defieney is in gonds which were mainly intended for Manchuria and other parte of North Chins.

The provisious as to patents, as to copy. rights, as to a uniform national coinage, and as to reforms of the judicial system are all parts of this worthy effort of the United Bister to help China to carry out the one half of the proposition which we have just men- tioned, that is, the reforms in the government which will avort partition.
