HONGKONG JOTTINGS.

I understand (unofficially, of course, for official secreta are carefully guarded) that the reason for the extraordinary secrooy which is baing observed in regard to the arrangements for the welcoming of H. R. H. Prince Arthur of Connaught on the ccession of his visit to the Calony, is that the programms has boon des patched to His Royal Highness for his approval before publication. Bat the reason seems very inadegants ous for withholding all infor: mation from the public. It is not intended, believe, that the weireas shall be purely official affair, und if the public are expected to do their part on the occasion the draft pro- gramme ought to be pablished without delay. It is usual on much nocasions elsewhere then in Hongkong for a public modding to appoint⚫ representative committed to assist the Covera: ment in such arrangements. Who constitute the Committes in the presont instance few appear to know, and they know just as much about what is to be done on the occasion. am told that it is highly improbable that the Prince will visit Canton; in that case His Royal Highness will be in the Colony ubuat four days.

He ret this country from Chius in 1876, at the date of the Chefoo Couvention, as English Secretary to Kwe Sung-tao, who was sent on Favor to Britain to deliver an apology for tuo murlar of Mr. Margary, of the Consular service on the Yunnan border, and all the world is acquainted with the story of his previous military life in China, of his co-operation with General Gurdon and Hung-chang in the Taeping Rebellion and of his ten yours service devoted to the stablishment of the first arsenal in China at Noaking,

When we met I asked him how past and present are contrasted in his outlook, for Chine in 1876 and China la 19-5 must surely offer an interesting historical contrast.

"Improvement, I am glad to say, despite ware and Boxer risings, etc., has been very marked," ha

replied, especially so within recent years. Western ideas and modes are at ngth finding an open door in Chian. Rail- ways have their utility appreciated now, and are being beastrusted in many productive provinces. Studs are coming to Europe, to England, in increasing numbers every year. and taking back new ideas and the temper that is clamant for progress.

I look upon thins as having turned the corner with the first years of the twentieth century. I do not think there will bo any going back.
