the settlement of back-country districts, for such companies would have to import labour and emplovės ❤nald, in the course of time, populate waste lands and so furnish railways with means of anbristence. Siam is, furthermore, a poor country as regards the cash in the hands of the masses, though in reposrees, vast natural resources, she is Immensely rich. The Siamese, even at the chief centres of trade, are poor as a class and capital in chiefly to be found in the hands of Chinese and other allens, and in the coffers of a few princes and nobles. These facts, amongst other reasons which need no mention at this juncture, form the justification for, averting that at the present time the construction of railways, on a large scale, is premature. I might add, too, that for some years, past but few canals have been cat, and the old canals are, for the most part, choked owing to regrettable neglect on the part of those whose interest (although they fall to perceive it) it is to carefully conserve the waterways of this country. Hundreds of than sands of dollars should, in fact, be laid out in deepening and cleansing the canals.
Then as to concessions: I drafted a scheme which could but have resulted in bringing capital into the country, in which I Inld stress on the point that the terms must be reasonable. Instead of doing that, numbers of most commendable and respectable people who would. I verily belleve, have improved the country greatly, have been refused concessions and that, too, mfrabila dictu, without any reason whatever being vouchsafed to the applicants. The folly of such undignified proceedings must be apparent to any one who has intelligently followed the fortunes af Slam in recent years.
Mining Concessions The Government hat, contrary to my advice, given several mining concessions to some very undeticable persons. Applicants for concessions ought, of course, to be treated as persons who are willing to do some real good for the country, whilst improving their own financial position; should receive due considers tion and, as such, be given a final reply within reasonable time. But, instead of that, some applicants have waited here for six months and even much more, constantly dancing attendance on some Minister, who, as often as not, ultimately refuser to grant the concession and declines to auriga any reason for such decision,

Meanwhile we awalt with anxiety details of the origin of the outbreak; we want the material for an opinion og to whether it was a marely local disturbance, or a part of the wave of lawlessness that haw passed all on the Yangtze valley. The Chintal, or Brigadier General, at Tchang. La, is a man well lenown to and much liked by all the foreigners there, and he has his troops, who are well paid and looked after, well in band, so that it is difficult to understand how it was that he could not control the mob, unless it was because of the fact that we have previously mentioned, that no Chinese official dares to order his troops to fire on a mob, His 'troops too, it mast ba remembered, ara Hanan men and may have' sympathised with the mob. Meanwhile, we cannot but feel very anxious for the safety of our friends in Changking; we do not want a stern proof that Sir Thomas Wade was right in trying to provide that the port should not he opened until the residents had at least the refuge, If not protection, that the presence of a steamer in the port provides. Our naval authorities have learnt the truth of the doctrine that we have been preaching for years, that

That the British Asg should be shown on the river at Chungking, as at every other open port, we hold to be indispensable. If this new out- break at Ichang strengthens the hands of our representatives st Peking, the destruction of altogether in vain. foreign property there will not have been.
Prompl measures were taken here as soon as the news of the riot arrived. Orders were sent on Wednesday evening by wire to the Swift not to leave Hankow. Yesterday morning she was ordered to make the best of her way to Ichang, and should she not be able to get up, the spic, which has been ordered up from Kluklang to Hankow, will go on to Ichang. Meanwhile, the Archer, which was on her way to Hankow to relieve the Swift, is to take the Aspie's place at Kinklang. until the Inconstant, which leaves this at noon to-day, arrives there from Shanghai. Thus every part will still have its man-of-war, for the Asple will remain in Hankow in the place of the Stoff, until it is determined which of them shall go to Ichung,

In addition to the residences mentioned, the Church of Scotland Mission bas, in the city, mission premises, which, being Chinese houses, have probably escaped.
