FORMER HONGKONG RESIDENT.

The holidays of all, Tientsin poople were saddened by the news of the death in the Hospital there of Mr. Lee, architect, a member of the frm of Messrs Loup and Ire. Mr. Lee was one of the nicest men, to be met in the ́course of a day's ́ murch, and was a universal

favourite. Before coming to Tientsin ko-lived ¦ and practised some years in Hongkong, to which Colony he came out from England. At "Como he received his professional training in Rochester. He was only 31 years of age, and thus prematurely a bright and upful life was cut off. Mr. Lea contrasted typhoid fever, and then developed preamonis.

Mr. Poppe's predecessor at the Consulate, Mr. Laptow, was shot in the same building justTM two years ago, and died of his wound, which pierced the dispåragin and bechght on peritonitis. Since then both Cosseeks and police have guarded the premises of the Consulate night and On the night of the attempt on Mr Poppe's is not only were the continued guards on duty but all doors and windows wem fastened at the front. There was thus no way of access to the Consul's bedroom, which is on the ground Hoor, except by the back of the house ihrough the, deor need, by the Chizote servents and n narrow corridor.

foreigner is no better than the Chinese. It is pointed out that if the foreigner were superior the fire should never have broken out at all, and that, if it had, the arrangements of the foreigner for suppressing it should have been batter than they were. The fact of the emergency magazines. estohing fire and their contents exploding with disastrons and fatale salts to those engaged in putting out the flames is cited triumphantly is a convincing proof of the foreigner's lack of superiority. This piess of criticism in only one sample of the recent recovery by the Chinese in the capital of their accent rupercilious disdain of the foreigner. In different ways this feeling is continually mapifesting itself nowütays,,.

ANTI JAPANESE PREJUDICE. One of the west remarkable features of Chinese policy is the change which has taken place, during the past three years with roguril to Japan. During and after the war Japou was supreme ja the Councils of China. The Japanese Minister, Mr. Uchida, was more influential and more listened to than any or all the other diplomatic representatives in the capital. And throughout the provinces Japanese in duences were paramount. Now any stick is good enough to beat the Japanese dog with. There has been a complete reaction, and munk injusties is done to Japan,

AN EXAMPLE.

This occurs not only in offcial circles bat is- the ordinary walks of life. I may cite the following instance—a paragraph from "Chiness Publio Opinion".

Foreign imports from Hongkong show a damesse from the figures for 1906 of 469,234 teels, or £75,113 matter for regret as British nafactures are, of f course, included under this heading.

The trade of Wuchow, for the year 1907, taken as a whole, may be regarded as having boon somewhat unestiafactory and disappointing. The very small stopka remaining in the haòða of many dealers at the closs of 1994, togottor with the opening of Nanning to forsign trade, gave rise to sanguine expectations as regards the import trade for 1907, but these aspect tions were not destined to be realised.

Despite restrictions which have rendered the opening of Nanning unsatisfactory, one would have thought that the opening of such a well

considerable increase in trade.

orease of trade. Loes of ficus cis- fasilition. The principal osuse of the shrinkage of the trade in 1997, may be attributed to the refusal of the Fatahan bankers, the obiel 'financiers of the trade of this provinco, to make such free advances to merchants as in forpoor years. Since the latter part of 1905, when the trade in native opani began to fall off at Sauning, it is not bear possible to arrange 10 advantageously for remittances from that_oily to Hongkong or Fashan.
