PEKING, March 2nd

The Senior Minister on February 9th sent a Note to the Foreign Ministry in the following terma-

"I am desired by my colleagues to draw Your Excellency's attention to the deplorable situation which has arisen in Canton in connection with the illegal action of the so-called Strike Committee in seizing cargo discharged from ships in harbour before such cargo reaches the Customs House, with the result that the Customs authorities have had to suspend the loading and discharge of all enrgoes pending a cessation of this illegal inter ference alike with foreign trade and the functions of the Chinese Customs.

While assuring Your Excelleney on behalf of my cplleagues of their debite to ensure as far as possible the authority of the Chinese Customs Administration, I am further desired to request, with a view to the resumption of the trade of the port with the least possible delay, that immediate steps be taken to put a stop to these illegal activities of the so-called Strike Committee, who are un- warrantably infringing the Treaties he- tween China, and the foreign Fowers can- cerned.➡(Signed), OUDENDIJK."

A large number of people go to see the races because it is the thing," and because they like Chey are really not greatly interested in ponies, and they know nothing of the technicalities of the subject.

At the conclusion of the contests, Sir Edwyn Alexander-Sinclair presented silver cups to the winners and the run- nere-up in the finals.
