the arbitrary and illegal acts of its cón- sular representatives in Swatow, without hesitation disavowed such unjustifiable proceedings and expressed regret that anything of the kind should have occurred to disturb the harmonious relations existing between Germany and China.

There can be no manner of doubt that the German Government will protect the claims of Messrs. DIRCKS & Co. against the Chinese authorities to the fullest ex- tent-but only so far as those claims are entitled to, and capable of being sup- ported in accordance with international law generally, and whatever Chinese laws may specially apply to the matters in dis- pyte. Let us as succinctly as possible detail and analyse the principal points at issue in this Swatow Land Question.

THE Rothschilds are not ashamed of their modest origin. The founder of the family of the present merchant princes, Mayer Anselm Jonathan Rothschild,, was born in 1743, in the dirty Judengasse in the then free city of Frankfort» on-Main. The house in which he saw the light bore a red sign (Rothes Sculld); hence the surname, which, in the course of time, has won so great a sound. On the coat-of-arms of the present five branches of the family the allusion to that historical red sign is perpetuated by 2.

She made during that time some attempts to scrape a few tons of mud off, thei bar, but was finally laid up. There are various rumours current as for her being ordered to discontinue dredging operations. Some say that her anchors and cable were found to be too light, and could not resist the strong current. Others say that she will shortly proceed to Port Arthur, to commence operations there which she is expected to accomplish in about six months' time. Natives are of opinioni that the reason for the dredger not being allowed to work is, that, in case of war, large ships of war would be enabled to come up to Shanghal, and they are probably right in their conjectures.

Such the Chinese Government, a state of things would inevitably lead to numerous disputes, and would probably induce Chinese subjects to trust to foreign influence rather than to rely on their own Government and its representatives. That this view is substantially correct is plainly shown by the Swatow dispute under review, as Messrs. DIRCKs & Co., when they found that the Chinese Government were decided in refusing to validate the transfer, exerted their utmost influence-a member of the firm being German Consul-to procure the Interference of a German gunboat, thus creating a serious dispute, which, but for the moderation and tact of the Chinese authorities, might have led to disastrous
