HOME AND CHINA AFFAIRS,

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. }

LONDON, October 20th. BRITISH FRADE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE

PAR SABT

China's commercial opportunities and the contrast between the methods of British and Japanese manufacturers have been the subjects of considerable comment

in several British papers this last wook or two. The Globe, Daily Chronicle, Post and Birmingham

Advertiser'a Weekly have been among the papers

ong the pap giving liberal space to pleas for enter prising measures on the part of our home commercial magnates, to ensure that the present opportunities in the Far East are nob lost. Generally speaking, the com ments on the election of Yuan Shih-kai as President of the Republic have been favourable, though some papers see in him an opportunist of more than ordinary personal ambition. That reflection apart, however, they all admit that he is a strong man, and the critical period through which China is passing demands a strong

interest of these memoirs. You feel in the presence of one of the shrewdest and one of the wisest of men, who has kept through a life of astounding activity and importance the simplicity of a child." There may be a smile among old China bands at the reasoning which follows, for the reviewer demonstrates what he means by first quoting a businesslike entry about a visit to Krupp's great gun works, the reception of a present of guns and the formation of a resolve to buy three batteries, four ton-inch guns and quantity of German powder and shells. Against this is contrasted the following entry

"Next day. Hour of the Drake: -This day I will seclicly myself from all callers, in order that I may devote yself to thoughts of my colestial mother, who died fourteen years ago this day, and who for that long time has been thinking of my coming to the Peaceful Sunlight of the Nite Springs. With all the incidents of my life, its trials and lamentations, its ipaments of joy and prids, with all del overy affair of my life, cannot forgot my celestial mother and all she was and is to me. A letter from Von Moltke lás just been handed to me by Song 1 shall read it to-morrow. To-night I must read long into the hours from the phile- sophers in memory of my mother."
