I am, etc.,

A. COUMANY, The reading of the letter was received with laughter.

1. In other respects the Brigade has been conducted on the same lines as heretofore. There-esteem. is the same Central Station, the same system of alarms and the same general orders with regard with regard to attendance at fires. Such improve- ments as have been made, have been made in the matter of appliances and in the provision beforehand of every thing likely to be required at a fire, together with rules for their disposition and for the prevention of any interruption in the operations such as by the bursting of hose, the breakdown of an engine, or other ways known to those who have to deal with fires.

12. Although the larm bell is sounded when assistance is required at Wanchai an arrange- ment has been made by which only a certain number of the Fire Brigade, who are told off month by month for the purpose, are allowed to go, as it is not desirable that the whole of the Brigade should be absent from the central part of the Town unless absolutely necessary. The alarms continue to be, as heretofore, one bell for the Eastern District from Wanchai to the Murray, Bartacks, two bells for the Central District from Murray Barracks to the Harbour Office, and three bells for the Western District.

13. While satisfied that the present system of centralisation of engines and men at the Central Fire Station is necessary under existing circum- stances where the men are drawn from the Police Force at the Central Police Station, and have their quarters either there or at the Fire Brigade Stallon, I am of opinion that the com. pletion of the distribațion of water will neces- sitate a radical reconstruction of the Brigade, and that the proper method for the suppression offres will be found to lie in a number of small stations placed at a convenient distance apart with hose and other articles ready for immediate use at the outset, steam-engines falling into the background and occupying a-sabordinate post- tion in the Brigade.

14. I have already had made as an experiment anticipatory to this change of system what is known as The Fire Despatch-box," the points of which are that it can be worked by one man, and contains all the necessary appliances for dealing with a fire at the outset including three bundred feet of hose, and I anticipate that it or some other contrivance will be spread all over the town and worked by n system which has yet to be devised when the water works are completed.

15. I have much pleasure in stating that the behaviour of the men at fires has been good, and their attendance regular, and that Mr. Campbell, who fills the important post of Assistant Engl neer and is responsible for the propor keeping of the appliances and the general efficiency of the Brigade, carries out his duties conscientiously and with satisfaction.

16. Since the commencement of this year the Brigade has lost the services of Mr. Brewer, who I regret to say after a long illness has succumbed to it. He was a very zealous and efficient Officer, and during the absence on leave of the Superintendent in 1886, received a special letter of thanks from the Government for the manner in which he had acted as Superintendent. His place has been filled by Mr. Wagner subject to the approval of Her Majesty's Secretary of State

for the Colonies.

17. I enclose copy of Mr. Wagner's report on the state of the engines and also a return of fires and alarms of fires during the year 1889:

RUSSIAN COURTESY.

At the annual meeting of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, held on the 2nd inst.

Mr. F. H. Hell asked, with reference to the letter addressed to the China Association in London, copies of which letter were sent to the foreign ministers in Feking, if any replies had been received from the foreign Ministers ?

The Chairman said the replies. which had been received were simply polito acknowledg- ments of the letter, with the exception of one, a translation of which he would read, from the Russian Minister, M. Coumany. It was as

follows

SIRS,I have just received your letter which you thought fit to address to me under date of 24th February last landing me for my guidance copy of the letter which you wrote to the Secre- tary of the China Association on the 11th of the same month. You may conceive my surprise at receiving a voluntary communication which I never asked for, not only because I have neither wish nor interest to be initiated into your cor- respondence with your friends, but also because as far as I am concerned it cannot have any practical value. In thus giving my reasons I wish to prevent and dissipato any misunderstand Had it been a private matter, it would have been sufficient for me. to remind you of the legend known to those who have made classical studies. A celebrated painter of ancient times on hearing the anatomy of the figure in his ple-. tures being criticised by a cobbler said to him: "ne autor ultra crepidam." But you address yourselves to me about a matter which apper talas to my official privileges, the matter having been brought twice already by your Chamber of Commerce, in my opinion unadvisedly, before my honorable colleagues. The attitude taken on these two occasions by the Diplomatic Corps was of a nature to show that this Corps respects the independence of its members acting by order, or in the name of their respective goram- ments to whom alone they have to render af their actions. Sech is the tradition and the rule generally recognised by the diplomatic profession.

account

The Chairman The Chamber's reply was as follows:-

"Shangbai General Chamber of Commerce,

Shanghai, 14th March, 1890 SI-I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Merch, addressed to the Chamber, a body of Chairman of this gentlemen elected to represent the Commercial interests of this port, as a matter of courtesy, forwarded a copy of the letter, to which you refer, to the Ministers of the various Treaty Powers at Peking the confident expectation that it would be received in the courteous spirit in which it was sent; and they can but regret to find from the tenor of your communication, that such confidence was in your instance entirely misplaced.

Finding that no headway could be made against the savages, the expeditionary force returned to Tamsul very much the worse for wear, tear and worry. The Governor is very much chagined at the failure of the expedition and angry at General Li's feeble conduct of the campaign. The latter has consequently been the causes which led to degraded.

The Governor, who had only just returbed f am a rather disastrous campaign on the north-east coast, where, besides being badly beaten he had lost several guns, as may be imagined was not in the best temper for receiv. ing such information.

Last night it was rumoured, under all reserve, that the contract of O N. Denny with the Korean Government had been renewed for another period of two years, General Le Gendre, recently engaged, being, it appears, destined to fill the post of Advisor to the Home Office, while Judge Denny will remain as formerly, a depen dant of the Foreign Office.

As Mr. Denny's service does not properly expire until next May, it is believed this perma- ture renewal and execution of the contract was done in order to checkmate certain intrigues of a gentleman lying in ambush at Chemulpo, with his eye upon the Foreign Advisorsbip.

"The truth is that, so long as the Chinese content themselves with desalary and vicarious campaigns, ceasing operations as soon as the savages retire to their mountain fastnesses, from whence they keep up a brisk guerilla attack on their assailants, no practical advance towards the subjugation of the aboriginals can be looked for. When the Government realises what all other nations, under similar circumstances, have found essential, namely, that a Arst decessity le a line of frontier forts, to be gradually pushed forward, together with good roads, and other means for quickly transporting troops from one polat to another, something may be hoped for. Until then, however, nothing but unsatisfactory and even disastrous results, while engaging so pertinacious and fierce a foe as the savages undoubtedly are, can be expected. H.E. the Governor seems to be hopelessly crippled for want of funds, and it appears to tax all his energies to keep up even these perpetually recurring and hitherte ineffective demonstrations of military activity, and striving to gloss over troublesome northern Inquiry by the glowing reports for which his various expeditions are made to supply material. Compare the actual state of affairs now the savages triumphant all along the lins from north to south, their frontiers extended, and indeed only per sanded to keep within these by dint of heavy bribes and concessions, with the memorials sent up to Beking, just after the French blockade, describing the advances made by the Chinese forces all over aboriginal territory, the inhabit
