for the daily intercourse which would be secured to their members by regular attendance on Change. It is, indeed, high time that the isolation of Calcutta merchants, agents, and manufacturers should give way to the dally intercourse with their fellows which is a guaranteed privilege in a" Western commercial centres.

As things are at present in Crlatt, a mers chant is deperdent upsa brokers for regular Information conce aing the transacions of others in the commodities in which he de Fran the nature of his business, it is of course, impossible for the broker to identify his interests at one and the same time with those of both buyer and seller, and just co far as he falls to do this in cach particular instance is bis value as a reliable agent imprie: 1. It is to the credit of Euroj can brokers as a class that they may be trust. not sub.rdinate the interests of client to the own temporary ad- vantage, but in some branches of business they have almost entirely given place to the Indian dadal, who cannot be equally depended upon by those who are compelled to work through his agency. The dadal certainly does not exert himself to lessen the jealousies of com- peting merchants, but too frequently makes It has them asource of profit to himself.

of as been said that the establishment Exchange would seriously decrease the emolu- meats of brokers. Experience however points the other way, for nowhere are brokers so wealthy, as on the busiest Exchanges of Europe and America. It is likely that the innovation would modify to some extent the conditions under which the broker Dow works and that more responsibility and risk would accompany the reform which brought him enhanced profits and importance. But on the other hand he would be spared much personal exertion, while mental acuteness would secure a large portion of the reward which now falls to mere dogged persistence and physical activity. The broker would continue to be as indispensable as he is now, but in common with others he would find his work facilitated by an innovation which would allow much of it to be accomplished on Change, Enough has been said of the benefits which would accrue to the mercantile class if the Calcutta Exchange should become an accomplished fact. It is not neces- sary to add here a full prospectus of the scheme, the main outlines of which readily suggest themselves. A large and cool room in a central part of the city is, of course, the main essential, although the project to be really successful should be carried out on a scale worthy of Calcutta, and should combine, some of the features of the Club and the restaurant, Connected with the Exchange, and under the same roof, there should be a luncheon-room, and, around the Exchange hall, a number of smaller rooms for meet ings of Committees, Associations, and for the display of samples. The rest of the scheme is merely a matter of detail and could be casily settled if once the project were to take a definite shape. Of course a pre- liminary question as to the admission of natives would have to be settled, but the difficulty could easily be got over. Perhaps, the beat plan would be the division of the Exchange into iwo halls, with a common meeting ground. By such an arrangement the quiet transaction of business among the European members would not be disturbed by the babel of tongues which would accompany the admission of the loud- voiced Marwari, whose commercial instincts would in any c

case insure his daily attendance at the new centre of business."

In the above substitute Hongkong for Calcutta, leave out the luncheon-room part of the pro- gramme, and the nail will be bit fairly on the head. To bartition. off natives would be unnecessary here. There should he a door past which "incorrigibles" of any nationality should not be

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1890.

quirements which imparte the real interest to the present phase of Chinese state raft.

The importance which the Government taches to the Navy is sufficiently attested hy the large sums of money which have been expended on it; and the measures-all strange and foreign-ts which the Government has submitted, in order to tender, it efficient. As the whole had to be created out of nothing, foreigners had to be employed from the inception to the consummation, and as we have remarked more than once, considering the absolute helplessness of the Government, the faithful and valuable service it has obtained from its foreign employés in all departments has been most remarkable. The history of the Navy is well-known; it has been unrolled before our own eyes. Its attainments may be summed up in the promise given by Captain Lang, when assuming his second term of service, that with a free hand he would in five years make it fit for. war. That he has spared no labour to redeem. this promise is well known, and extraordinary. almost incredible, progress has been made towards it. Unfortunately the "little know. ledge" the Chinese cadets have acquired bas had the usual effect of making them conceited, and imagining that the presence of a foreigo Admiral in joint command of the fleet blocked the way of their legitimate ambition the Chinese officers have been incessantly intriguing to render his position untenable, and they have at last succeeded, These smart fellows, full of school learning as. they are, have yet much to learn in scamanship and the handling of such formidable and delichte machines as modern Ironclads with torpedo apparatus and all the rest may be considered as quite beyond their present capacity. As for the Chinese Admiral, he belongs to the old school, and though possessing all the personal qualities of a naval commander, science overtook him too late in the journey of life to be of any practic service to him. He must therefore henceforth be entirely in the hands of his sub- ordinates, who will wield the power while he retains only: the responsibility, Not an enviable position. As there is absolutely no one in or connected with the Chinese Govern- ment from the Emperor downwards who knows a ship's stem from its stern, these ambiticus youths will now be subject to no competent surveillance, and it is not casting any special reflections on them to predict what will happen when the relaxation of discipline has become a little more developed. The best service in the world would be rapidly demoralized by such trying conditions, and we may be sure that within twelve months the state of the Chinese navy will be such as 'the enemies of the country would devoutly desire. And general causes, efficient as they are in a destructive sense, will in this case be powerfully aided by special causes. The agitation that has been going on among the officers has had for its proximate object the estab- lishment of Home Rule in the service, the introduc- tion of clan government. The most powerful faction is composed of cadets of the Foochow School, and following the usual Chinese practice they have banded themselves against all the non-Fuklenese officers and men in the ship As they have driven out Captain Lang so will they hope to drive out every one who does not own aliegiance to the clan, and the vacancies will be filled up by brothers and cousins without special regard to competency. In a word the Fukienese will make of the navy what the Chinete try to make of every other institution, a close corporation for themselves. There is no finer material to be found along the coast of China for naval work than the bold and hardy population of Fukien, and if one province is to monopolize the service none has a better right to that privilege. But the clan system is fatal to | efficiency in anything, and more, particularly in a service where the utmost precision,

are and regularity impera- punctuality, tive, and complete and absolute authority from the Commander-in-Chief down-wards through all grades is the keystone of safety. Under the ancient Chinese system the com- manders will only be able to exercise their authority subject to the approval of their guild, whose will, and not that of the Admiral in com- mand, will rule the internal economy of the ships. Needless to enlarge on such a topic, as no argument is required to prove what a destroy- Ing cancer the clan system will introduce into the navy. Things are bad enough now, when ships stranded are not allowed to be docked for repairs, but when the discipline of the Chinese navy comes to be controlled by family ties the ships will soon be converted into mere food for powder, and their course will be straight towards the Pagoda Anchorage, of ominous memory. Chinara Times.

THE CHINESE NAVY.

The Chinese Government has alowed Captajn Lang, R.N., to resign the position which was no longer tenable, of Co-Admiral In the Chinese service, and in so doing has declared, for the third time, by acts more authoritative than words, the settled determination of China to admit no foreigner to a position of trust in her militant services. The subterfuges under which this fixed policy has been covered up in order to make the service palatable to Captain Lang and admissible under the rules of the English Admirally have been creditable to Chinese ingenuity-a kind of astuteness which we have never denied to them; and the un- polished manner in which the mask was finally thown off was also in harmony with Chinese usage. Those who have dealings with Chinese Officials know that such things are, so to speak, "all in the day's work." It is not our purpose therefore to dwell on the particular incident which led to the unwelcome discovery by Captain Lang that he had been the victim of mis understanding, and that the Viceroy L, In giving him his appointment in 1886, had inten tions which Captain Lang was not at the time permitted to penetrate. Nor is it of primary impor- tance to enquire how far His Excellency Li Hung- cbang is himself a free agent in such matters, or whether he also is the slave of a system which is bound fast in the traditions of the Empire. The question which really Interests not China alone but Also those foreign Powers which are either 71 friendly or potentially hostile to the development of her militant strength is what attitude, she intends finally to take up towards those external · influences from which, whether friendly or the reverse, she cannot escape. Thirty years experience of more or less amicable foreign intercourse, during which time foreign auxiliaries have been employed and extensive use has been made of Western, teaching in the science and the art of War, has failed to eradicate from the Chinese mind the constitutional distrust of foreigners which is one of its most characteristic features. This is not a matter for animadver- sion, but rather for careful observation,
