I NEET MINISTER TO ENGLAND,

The Ta Ching Bank has inflated considerable damage upon the Shauei bankers, infringing their long onjoyed menopoly of remittances and other transtions for the account of the Government. Mr. Gory thinks the day is not far off when the Shansi banks will have nothing more to do with the Government money. New branches of the Te Ching Back are continually being opened, Besides the bead offen in Peking there are branch offices in Tiantain, Shanghai, After H. E. Liang has concinded these Haskow, China, Kalgan, Newchwang, Urga, negotiations with the Mining Co. he will and Chungking, and sub-offcast Proting, Chou continne In Peking his work as a member of the Tous, Antung, and in a number of other places Waiwan until the return to China of Lord Lithe bank is represented by native banks. Fro, Ching Fang, the Chiness Minister in England possis are now being considered to open branch whom he will succeed. And no man, it ca offices at Nanking, Feockow, Hangehow, safely be asid, is better fitted to fill the post. Kailang, Kizin, Taiyuan, Nanchang, and Mr. Liang la certainly the ablest of the numerous Cantonese who helped H. E. Yuan Sbih Kai to spell efflsiency and integrity, with capital letters in Pechill.

THE AMERICAN VLEET'S"VIE)

HE. Lay for Ten, another Cantones protégé of H. E. Tuan Shih Kai, nowa Vios President of the Waivapy, and a former Customa Teotsi of Tientsin, has been appointed to go to Amoy to welcome the U., battleship Host when it arrives in the coming autumn,

In this connection is to be remarked the rumour that H. E. Taen will give up the Pre- uidency of Waiwupu to become President of the Board of the Navy with a view of establish- ing new and efficient Navy for China. It having been noised abroad that Chins wanted a Navy, Teking has for some months past been thronged with naval shipbuilders representa tires from all parts of the world sooking for orders. The most enterprising of these, perhaps, have been the Japanese. But the visit of the . B. battleship feet will be huge advertisement for American shipbuilders and ordnance manufacturers, and no doubt the trade representatives of those industries will week to make the most of it in Peking..

A CHINESE NAVY. Where and how the money for this navy is to be raised still remains to be seen. Of course In the long res the burden mest fall on the Chintas taxpayer, who is ill-prepared to bear it. I wonder whether the Peking Government realises the cost of armaments and the drain

bank with suspicion, but the fact that the bank has paid 30 per cent, on it capital shows that it is a success from the outset The reform of the currency has not been lost sight of. Much has been done during the past twelva months with regard to the copper currency, and the fame and credit of the Bauk's test, dolları and cash notes are rapidly extending, For- official purposes the Government is doing all it can to encourage the use of t Ta Ching Bank's notes, and even for commercial purposes both official and mercantils Chinese are pushing the bank's notes in preferenco, to foreign bank cotos:

There is a story hailing from Peking that the Board of Finance has ordered from Amerion machinery for printing bank notes, and that when this arrives the Board itself will print and issue notes and will allow no notes to be issued by other banks, private or Government; but this, I think, is obviously an erroneous report, due to some missapprehension.
