We note the population of the Penin- sula is said to be 16,227,885 souls, and that the number of houses is put down as 3,480,911: Corean Government desires to open up relations with England, aggressions of the Japanese and the pretensions America, or France as a counterpoise against the of the Chinese.

men had been employed, a portion would have settled in the State and along the route, and would have become customers of the road. It is, of course, a matter of conjecture to what extent the presence of Chinese has kept white people out of the State. We know the State has not increas- ed in population as fast as its exceptional advantages would seem to "justify". We know, too, that the Chinese are not the only drawbacks we have had to contend against. but we believe them worse than all the others put together. This State might, without the least violation of the law which governs immigration, have had à population of 1500,000, in place of the 800,000 or 500,000 we now have. Other drawbacks have kept some away, but the chief reason why working men and women have avoided this State is the fact that the Chinese were

demonstrate the truth of this assertion. Free labor, which aims to be well paid, shrinks from contact with any system which makes the laborer a chattel working for board and clothes. The Chinese coolie system is a form of slave labor, and has had an injurious effect upon this State.

Os the all absorbing Chinese question, the San Francisco Merning Call of May 2nd, under the heading What the Chinese have done," deals at some length with this branch of the subject, and to our way, of thinking, very effectually removes the general belief that many of the largest American enterprises--such as the Central Pacific Railway-owe their existence mainly to the assistance of Chinese labour. Our castern contemporaries, observes the San Francisco journal. seem under the impression that the Chinese have taken an important part in the development of the resources of this State. The Troy Timer, for instance, says: "Large ly by the aid of Chinese cheap labor, California has been made what it is. The Central Pacific Railroad would not have been pushed to speedy completion without the Chinese." The Call does not admit this view of the Chinese question to

The gallant officer, while fully sensible of the Tonour conferred upon him, did not feel inclined to give up his position in the British Navy, and before accepting the offerap plied tothe Admiralty for permission to count the time during which he might be employed in the Chinese service. This application has been re- fused by the Board, on the ground that counting the time under such circumstances is contrary to
