THE NEW CHINA.

PROGRESS IN YUNNAN.

(FROM "THE TIMES" CORRESPONDENT.),

Peking, April 10th. A friend of mine, who has just returned to Peking from Yunaan by way of Burma, sends me the following interesting note on the con- ditions prevailing in that part of Inɛnan which adjoins British territory, and to it he bas sided a reference to the Chinese in Burma, with whom he has had recent opportunities of intercourse. He writes with exceptional knowledge, having been stationed in Yunnan. in an official position for savoral years,

province

« Even in far western Yunnan the dosize for reform and the idea of patriotism are penetrat- ing. The disappearance of opiam from the. ace can only be described as wonderful. Prohibition has caused less, distress ip the agricultural population than was generally anticipated. From the beginning, the cult. vators were wise enough to recognize that the officials were in carnost, and, abandoning opion, they tarned their attention to the possibilities of less profitable crops-chiefly backwheat and different variation of beans-with encouraging results. Everywhere the soldiery are being regularly drilled on more modern methods : and, in a place of the old-style, slovenly dressed rufian, wearing a coat that was once red, and armed with an umbrella and an opium pipe, whe for- merly acted as ostort to the foreign travellers in Yoonan, one now gets an alert, activo individual, who carries a Mansor rifle of recent pattern, and knows more or less how to use it.

EDUCATION, -

"Bat the change that will foll most for the good of the province is the spread of the eluce fional movement. In the Tali and Yangchang Prefectures many new schools have boon opened, where teaching is being conducted on new principles. Formerly any dirty little zorved as a schoolroom, and a crowd of unkem youngsters, presided over by an ill-paid, be spectacled pedagogue, produced appalling dis-.

Now one enters a spacious, well- lighted room, with orderly rowe of desks, where sit the boys pozing more or less silently over their tasks. Only five

None but girls with natural feet are admitted to these schools —a sensible rule which the officials are doter- mined to maintain, For the foot-binding custom is dying hard in Yunnan. There are two simple reasons for this. In the first place,

They have imported coccons from Manchuria, and are successfully rearing the wild silkworm on the oak scrub which is indigenous in the locality. Of course, the prosperity--both pre- sont and futare-of West Yunnan is largely bound up

with that of Batea; for it is essential that the farmors of the Yunnan uplands should have a ready market for their spare produce A light railway between Bhamo, in Burms, and Tongyush, in China, would greatly assist trade, and would pay. I roataro to think, from the

THE CHINESE COLONY IN BURMA.

B

"At the time of the Mahomedan rebellion in Yunnan thousands of Chinese poured into Upper Hurma. Many of these took to them selves Burmese wives, and settled down in Mandalay, where they have prospered exceed- ingly, as they do everywhere under feir govern- meat Into Lower Burma there is a steady influx of Chinese by sea, coming mostly from Amoy or Canton. They are very numerous in Rangoon, where they form the richest and most influential section of the community, and where they are treated with the respost which they have commanded by half a century's or cellent behaviour and good citizenship. Many of them are of mixed Chinese-Burmese parentage, and bays never visited China. But in Conten and Amoy, whence their father came, are the graves of their ancestore, which is equivalent to saying that they are bound to China by the strongest ties. It is, indeed, surprising to find with what sentiment and affection the Chinese In Burns regard the land of their fathers. One sees them often referred to as loyal (British) subjorts they should be more trathfully regarded as highly desirable and public-spirited citizens. *

Referring to the delay in opening Selian Park Library recently, the chairman of the Liverpool Library Committee said it was owing to members of the city connoil not attending the special mesting to deal with a proposal to confer the freedom of Liverpool on Mr. Carnegie.

At Gretua Green the marriage ceremony was usually performed at the blacksmith's forge. Things have moved impilly since then, and at Oban the other day, says a London paper, the ceremony was performed at a motor garage.
