So far, as British merchants, bankers and others are CCD. cerned business is still in abeyance at Eankow; and the Chinese not unnaturally, are finding the cassation a matter of very seriops inconvenience to themselves.

The important conference between Mr. Eugene Chen and Mr. O'Malley has begun. They are stated to have discussed the situation for two hours, and doubtless will have quite a lot more to say. So far, no details of the conference Have been made public.

A vory interesting story is to hand regarding the dis position of the British warships on the Yangtasekling and in Chinode waters generally, and a mere glance at the names of the many fine vessels should go a long way towards reassuring the timid that we have little to fear in the present crisis,

There appear to be large numbers of British and American refugees travelling from the interior to Yangtaze Treaty Ports, and doubtless they will eventually be shipped to Shanghal or elsewhere.

The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League of Victoria, British Columbia, are expressing very practical sympathy with Britons in their worries at Hankow.
