to British interests would not have been more permanent than it has been in Constantinople where our prestige and credit wers enhanced by withholding all official support from the operations of cosmopolitan finance under the Hamidian regime. The British Goremment, no doubt, attached great importance to the retention of some share in the Hankow-Cautou Railway but later developments show that nothing has been saved which was worth saving at auch-cost.

primarily the financiers met the injusting public.

What I have attempted to show is that the combination has defeated what was regarded as one of the main objects of policy numely, to provent Chips in her own interests from incensing her endebtedness by foreign loans unaccompanied with adequate guarantees that the money shall be honestly a interested in the conservation of China which and wefully expended, Great Britain-is, above is at the present moment threatened chiefly by the chaotic condition of her national finances Financiers, as such, are coulitless nöf bound to

JACK ASHORE,

ESCAPADE OF BRITISH BLUEJACKETS

The British cruiser Monmouth left Nagasaki for Vindivostook on the 19th ult. Prior to her departure 15 bluejackets, over-staving leave alors, created a disturbance in the town of Nagasaki. Fire of the men are stated to have

At the time of the signature of the tripartite rosment between signature of the tripartita Garman greja it was asserted that the object those loaus may be to the borrower's beat than the Botation of loans, however detrimental of the combination was to prevent ent-throat interests: In this aspect alone the triumph of competition and to place the Chinese under the cambiontion is questionably a diet blow some more effective restraint over the expandie British policy; and io! only in this respect, turo of loan funds than "Puka-torms afforded, and the parties to the agree

It provides, it is true, for the appointment of a British Chief Engineer for the Rapah-Hunau section of the Canton-Hazkow. Railway, and similarly of a German Chief Engineer for the Hupets section of the Hankow Szechuan Railway. But though, antil constraction is completed, these ongineers are to be acceptable to the banks. they are to be appointed, not by the banks, but by the Chinese, and they will be under the orders of the (Chinese) managing directors of the respec- tive-lines. They are not even authorized to jasne rertificates for requisitions to meet the needs of construction. The nature of their services, devoid of all authority, is simply that which has proved a failure on the Tientsin Fakou and the Hangelau Railways The only check which the banks claim over expenditure is provided by the presence of auditors. whose functions differ slightly but not materially from those which have equally proved worthless under" Pukan terras. The conditions under which loan funds are to be handled are as follows: The transfers of loan faods to China are to take place" on the sole authority of the (Chinese Director-General," who also at his discretion will effect transfers from the loan funds in China to the credit of construction accounts at the banks, and from the banks to the (Chinese) Managing Director of the lines, The latter shall fame in duplicate, two days before presentation of sucli orders of transfer, a certificate stating clearly the object of the transfer heading one copy to the andliter und one copy to the bank concerned. How in praction there can he any nicre effective control under these terme than under " Pukau “terms almost passes comprehension.

PURAU TERMS."

Lest there should be any misapprehension as to the insory character of these guarantees, it may be well to quote Article 17, which provides that the construction and control of the rail way lines shall be entirely and exclusively vasted in the Imperial Chinese Government, aud shall be organized in accordance with the practice actually in fores on the northern section of the Tientsin-Pukan Railway." The chief argument put forward by the champions of the combination was that on this northern section nader German supervision ** Puksu terms had worked smoothly and satisfactorily without-an

of the friction which had occurred on the southem section under British supervi- sion. If the British, it was asserted, had only shown as much tuct, or as much energy, or as much good will as the Germans, “Pokaa tarms,”- would have been as successful on the southern as on the northern section. Unfortauntely- for this argument, an incident has occurred since Article 17 was embodied in the loan contract which matérially' affects its value. After an inquiry conducted by Natang, Vice President of the Waiwapa, several of the highest Chinese officists on the Gerraan santion of the Tientsin-Pakan Railway have been convicted and severely punished for corrupt practices, to which, according to memorials published in the Chinese Press, they resorted in collusion with the Germans. If this was the sort of lubricant applied by the Germans to make "Pukan, terma work on their section, Article 17 of the new loan contract will hardly inspira za mnoi confidence as its authora anti- cipated. It on the other hand, the Germans were not privy to those practices, the failure of such supervision as "Pukan terms" allow to prevent maladministration and corruption in connection with railways is proved up to the

As they were to be arrested by the police at the instance of the commander of the warship in consequence of their prá- longed stay ashore, they seized a waterman's boat at the hatobs and rewed into the harbour. The harbour police the despatched a atenu launch, and when it approached the boat occupied by the bluejackets its necupants - monased the police by drawing swordsticks and brandishing clubs. The bluejackets - mured their boat alongside a British steamer to escape on board that vessel, but her captain having raised the gangray, the tire tare attemp ted to make for the ofhug, this time comm degring a lighter. Meanwhile, the Commander of the Monmouth, on receipt of tidings from the harbour police, sent ten other bluejackets to arrest the defaulters. The latter now landed at the Mitsa Bishi shipbuilding yard and effec ted an oscape though the yard. Passing the ship building yard, the men entered a bar, where they were fully arrested by the ten binejuckets specially detailed from the British warship in co-operation with the Yolice, to who they offered dosperate resistance. The disturbance lasted about four hours, but fortunately nothing serious occurred, except injuries sustained by oge polleeman and one bluejacket.
