RUBBER OVERPLANTİNG.

A well-known manufacturer diangraon with the Pall Mall Gazette on the subject of the out- coming of Lord Li is in many ways one of the most significant ants that the Imperial look for rubber. It noted certain warnings by Government of China has committed for some Mr. A. Govett on the subjsot of overplanting and endorsed them. Its correspondent_writes me. It testifles at once to the awaken as follows. Reforting to your note, Rubber of the ancient Empire which, if it contin >ex to arouse itself at its present rits of Overplanting, I cannot but think you are look progress, will have become A different ing & very long way ahead. I am concerned in Empire in tan years time. China 10-day!tions, and intend to take mora as good compacies the business, and hold shares in rabber planta- stands whore Japan stood thirty years aco but there are indications that reformation in China will be even more rapid than that which distinguished the modarn evolution of Japan. The most proucanoed trait of the preaut rate lies to the willingness of the Imperial Govern generation to Ameries and to Europe genora ly ment to send representative types of the younger for eduostios. Et has always ben a practice to maintain a few students in Europe, but their subsequent carers have bean generally concerned with the requirements of the Chin s Foreign Offos. Under the now order so faner than 150 students are o ming to Great Britain, tote large body of young men living in England under the direct supervision of the Chinese Legation, At present the studen's have been selected from the sons of the high loial class, but the Ides is gaining ground and there is no doubt that the great Merchant Guilds, who follow the lead of the Government, wil maaintain representative bands in the various sommercial contres,

It is a happy coincidence that Li Ching Fong should be associated in England with the ficut phases of the Cuiness Reform Maroment, If not a great wit, at least he is a most obsary ant gentlemans, and one who has frequently arged the Imperial Government to reconsider its methods. Obriously, then, he will so that his students_dorite the greatest benefit from their stay in England, since upon their shoulders must rest the future guidance of the Chiness Empire, Moreover, in choosing England as the country to which the great majority of the atadenta should be sent, his Excellency hat merely followed the policy which he bimself has costantly advoonted. The English language is the onrrent tongue among the Chinese of the coast, as in all commercial circles, oni thers are.

Another interesting circumstance in connect- ion with Li Ching Fong is that he is Aret copsin to an English family, the head of which, the late Bir Halliday Macartney, was for many Fear the English adviser to the Chinese Lo- gation. Sir Halliday, was twice married, and his first wife, a Chinese lady, was the niess of the late Li Bang Chang, Li Hung Chang himself was godfather to Mr. George Macartney, the issue of this anion, and now the British representative in Kashgar. The new Minister, therefore, has a papaliar right to his appoint- mant.. Apropos of Li Hung Chang's godson, Mr. George Macartney, this gentlemso i the most accomplished linguist in the service of the Indian Government, and speaks, with absolute Azancy, Chinese, French, German, English, Bastian, Hindustani, and Persian, besiden namervas Central Asian dialects. The now Minister has not yet met his cousin of Kashgar, bat one day during the coming: spring there will be an interesting reunion in Portland- piace, since Mr. George Masarta y will soon bs homeward bound:

The tendency is to break up new ground wherever available. That is the danger.
