Sir Charles stated that the Carroney decreo of Tho CHAIRMAN proposed that the report and October 5th was welcomed as evidence that ucsonuts be received and adopted. In doing so China was at last about to give offect to the he said that it had been a year of peculiar obligations, which she undertook under the interest in Far Eastern affairs, and the second article of the Treaty of 902, but another bulkiness of the report gave evidence of the six months had passed without apparent sign of many questions which had occupied the attention anything further being done. The Committee of the home and foreign Committees.thought that the correspondence published in the The report opened with an allusion to the appendir would be of considerable illuminative dramatic pronta in Peking last November, interest, as showing the well-nigh hopeless when death removed both the Emperor Kwaag Hen and the Empress Dowager Teie Hei-the virtual ruler of China daring a period which severed the Far Eastern experience of all those present. The history of the Empress had yet to be written, but whatever the historical ap prociation of her reign might be, there could be no doubt that her name would go down to In conclusion Sir Charles dealt with railways posterity as one of the most remarkable and and mining, two questions illustrative of the ronowned of the world's female potontates. For Chinese policy of "giving too little and many years the prediction had been that the taking too much." They had lately soon the death of the Empress Dowager would be the criticisms of the Feking correspondent of the signal for great changes in the Empire, but Times regarding the Shanghai-Ningpo Railway they were yet too chose to the event to gauge and the British section of the Tientsin-Pakow the truth of these predictions.

China gave little but asked for much, and aho was ready enough to give promises, and to take all she could from Western Powers. By playing, off ons set of financiers against another she had been peculiarly succesful of his in obtaining loans on terns of constantly diminishing security. A door of trade was opened 67 years ago, but the hinges cresked, the door had jammed, and amid only be opened through the application of lubricating oils, which were not contemplated in the Treaties.

Sir Charles: then passed to the Manchurian question and said it was surely putting a strain upon their credulity to ask them to believe that the Portsmonth Trenty of Peace represented a Jual settlement of the question Wors they to suppose that the Russian policy in Northeru Asia, consistently pursued since the days of Yormuck, was going to be abundened by reason of temporary defect? Surely not, Russia had met with similar checks before, but her policy was never abandoned. The Treaty of Nort chinsk stopped her forward movement for 150 years, but she had since occupied the whole of the Amur region, and they saw the occupation of Port Arthur and Ta-lion-wan in- the closing years of the last century. The last check would nat produce a change in policy evidenes af which might not futprobably be seen in their time.

The question of Mining brought prominently to mind the personalty of their old friend Mr. Archibald Little, whose death all deeply deplored. Mr. Little's pioneering instincts led him into the remoter fields of British adventure in China. Methods were always open to criticism, and the methods adopted by Mr. Little in Szechuan just been the subject of much easy armchair criticism in the more comfortably situated centros of Shanghai and elsewhere. He per. mozally maintained that no ever attempted more in the direction of co-operative work with the Chinese than Mr. Little did. The reports desit with this co-operative work as applied in Mr. Little's pet vonture of developing the cool wealth of Szechuan. No more favourable torzas of ex ploitation could possibly have been given to the Chinese, and yet the result was sickening and disheartening opposition, at every turn. The consequence was a broken heart to Mr. Little and the practicel abandonment of the enterprise. The enterprise of the London and China Syndicato in Auhwei was fe'l'of promise, and the result was the same-dogged obstruction and sickening fitnrs--and yet by the Treaty of 1902 (Article 1X) Uhinn solemnly undertook to encourage the introduction of foreign capital for mutas benefit in the exploitation of her mineral wealth Referring in conclusion to the financial statement of the Association, ̈
