The subject cannot of course he taken up as an international grievance seeing that the Chinese still restrict tho rights of Europeans in their own country: but it will be certain to be remembered at any time when further concessions are asked for.

If it had sprung up of itself, they might have hud to accept the position and inke the best of it, as they have had to do with respect to the exclusion of Asiatics in Australia and other Unies; hat this is a very different thing from actually courting a diflicult; which is certain sooner or later to assume proportions that will
