We do not believe in the invasion idea; our opinion is that when France sought to strike at us she would do it, not by an invading army but by her last cruisers attacking our merchant shipping and our conling stations. Such outlying colonies and settlements as Hongkong and Singapore would probably be the objective points of her action, and certainly, in their present unprotected condition, they would offer very great induce ments to her commanders all burning with hearty real to wipe out the national disgrace of the old wars. Guns we have here, and heavy ones, but not heavy enough to enable us to regard nothing of inceting the French and Russian Are combined. Our imperial neighbours of the blue dragon, whom we are so fond of believing to be always in a condition of sleepy lethargy, are at this moment-and have been for long-ahead of many other nations. Against the 18-ton guns we have in position here, China has, at Woosung, as many 45 tonners. She has a powerful squadron of ironclade suonger we believe than our own Chian -quadron, which by a train of circumstances not unknown to history, might readily fall into the hands of any powerful European for, and in that way, if in no other, be brought into the theatre of war against ourselves, The Pacific flects of France and Russia combined, would be a most dangerous menace against the existence of Hongkong, and with the fall of Hongkong would very possibly follow that of Singapore, of all the eastern coating stations, and even the territorial independence of Australia and New Zealand.

In case of any riot being instigated in the future by a lawless rabble, it would also probably, be seen that the class which is called the officials and gentry." would patrol the streets eight and day, until soldiers should arrive under faithful leaders, and peace be restored. In no place would even the piorest or most illiterate Chaman fail to find a friend, especially among the Christian families of better standing. We confidently express these opinions,, knowing of the record of such things in the past as given by eye-witnesses, and knowing of the strong position taken by different Protestant deno minations in formal action-stronger even than that of the National Government-in giving pro- lection, guaranteeing justice, and in exhibiting friendship. So long, then, as the present large number of Chinese labourers remain in the United States, their rights will in no wise be minimized, but probably augmented,
In Article V. of the new treaty the basis of staim for our indemnity is stated to be that "Chinese subjecta being jatenate and unsettled regions in the United States, have been victions of injury in their persons and properly at the bands of wicked and lawless, inen," and that these unexpected events the Chinese Govern nent regrets, and for which it has claimed an indemnity.

the interposition and degree requiring protection of the Chinese Government Chinese Government, therefore, in claiming an indemnity, and with commendable persistency adhering thereto, has done for herself and her people a work of honour and of undeniable utility. The United States, on receipt of this formal claim, takes a position that is rare and ingenious, The treaty having referred to these assaults on Chinese, for which the Chinese Government has cinjined an indemnity," adds, "the legal obligation of which the Government of the United States denies," is to be noticed that it is the legal obligation of the indemnity, net of the claim, that is denied, and that the action of the Chinese Government is in no way discredited. Further on in the 'It has been said that neither the Governor nor same Article it is stated, therefore, that there is

It is then that the President recognized an obligation resting on Wyoming territory-and which too, if we are not mistaken, being a territory, is especially dependent on the National Government, and yet he refused to recognize any national obligation, and he found no treaty stipulation necessitating the payment, of such an indemnity. We believe, however,
a good deal less than half that of a heavy gun. Like the harmless looking little tsetse-fly of Africa, whatever they touch they kill, and nothing which they desire to touch can possibly evade them. It is very different with guns or with ironclad ships, as weapons of attack. The guns must be stationary if put into forts, and as for the ships they may get sunk before they have succeeded in sinking their opponents. The submarine torpedo boat could leave this harbour, and approach the enemy waiting outside, entirely unperceived though he have a hundred electric search lights, and is altogether such a deadly, horrible, hidden kind of a foe that not the most venture-rome commander hungering for fime and fortune has nerve enough to approach a harbour where such infernal machines are in existence. We commend these pecullar looking little engines of sure destruction to the favourable notice of the Hongkong Govern- ment, and to the officers in charge of all our coaling stations, with the assurance that as long as they have about half a dozen of them in store, they need fear no hostile visitors. They are kind of thousand-ton gan, cheap and handy, easily supplied, they travel under water and always hit, with deadly effect. To ensure certain peace let maritime nations always be prepared for war with plenty of the new submariné torpedo
boats on hand.
THE "NEW TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND THE UNITED: STATES.
[COMMUNICATED.] 1.
The Governments of China and the United States, being dissatisfied with the Immigration Treaty that was concluded in November, 1881, especially concerning the question of the immig ration of Chire Laboures into the United States, have lately attempted the formation of another treaty, the plenipotentiary agents being the Secretary of State of the United States, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard; and the present Minister of the Chinese Government to the United States, H.E. Chang Yen Hoon. The effect that this new treaty may have on the peace and prospersity of the United States or on the welfare, protection, and advancement of the Chinese within the territory of the United States, does not especially concern us at present,

that the better sentiment of the American people WOODYEAR'S ROYAL has been dissatisfied with such an interpretation and enforcement of law, and that the position thus held by the National Government casts a shadow of shame over the United States, while the Chinese Government rises forth unsullied.
The United States Government, however, must find some basis of action, in order to meet the indemnity as claimed. To be sure, in still recognizing that the payment made is a "full jodernity for the losses and injuries sustained by the Chinese subjects" is in one sense a manifestation of law, but this legality it would feign cover over with the veil of a generosity that is really quite surprising considering the effort and time that have been, required. The language of the treaty therefore reads: Whereas, the Government of the United States, humanely, considering these injuries, and bearing in mind the firm and ancient friendship between the United States and China, which the high contracting parties wish to cement, is desirous of alleviating the exceptional and deplorable suffering and losses to which the aforesaid Chinese have been. subjected, therefore the United States. agree to pay on or before the first day of March, 1889, the sum of $276,619 75." That the United States Government fo some way or other, though not in a way of bighest credit to herself, actualy. meets the indemnity, is a point that should not be overlooked. The policy seems to be some. thing like a common one in China itself, viz. how to do a thing and yet not do it, or how not do it. It is the old to do a thing and artifica of denying a right, but granting a favour. In relations with such a country na China, where the higher requirements of International Law and of truer justice are attaining a firmer hold, it is a matter of gratitude that this large indemnity has been met, and bag in addition been recognized in a treaty, remembering as we must that the rioters were for the tnost part late immigrants from other nationalities; but it is also to be regretted that the indemnity was not so met an to inculcate to the greatest advantage the principle of clear law and pure justice.
