His lordship quite agreed.

PERING.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

June 9th, 1893. Foreigners of sil nationalities in China Ill be pleased to hear of the honour conferred upon the fnspect -General of Customs by her Majesty. Sir Robert Hart was notified of it; we belleve, by- the Queen on the occasion of her late birthday. a telegram from Lord Rosebery. The Taung- Yame anpeirs to be much interested in the hangar. The foreign community here have been rending in their cards of congratulation. Sir Robeit's honours are numerous. He has ad- ministered the Customs Service now for thirty years, and we all know to what a pitch of perfection he has brought it. This is the result of great administrative ability reaped the fruits of his able management of their and method. Top Chinese Government has affair in a warlely of ways. Besides the, Customs, he has been their adviser in all the difficult and delicate diplomatic questions which from time to time have cropped up. He is an indispensable and safe pilot at the helm to steer the Chinese Goverment past the shoals and golcksands of their own short-sighted and hand- to-mouth polley. If they had only conferred powers on Sir Robert for the administration of the country at large and the reformation of their various departments, they would to-day have Been in a very different position, This work has still to be accomplished and we don't seem a bit nearer than we were; Indeed, in some respects, the day of salvation and the death-blaw to corruption and bribery seem even farther off. The honour now conferred on Sir Robert is at least a recognition by our Government of the undeniable ability with which he has discharged his duties to the Chinese Government and a recognition that that Government is thankful to posies such a British «dministrator. With the lats audience of the British Minister and the hetour conferred on the Inspector-General, the twe Governments seem to see eye to eye. The British Government confers honours that descend on one's posterity; the Chinese Government fooks back and traces ability to the care shown by a long line of ancestors, Sir Robert now stands in the unique position of having bis ancestors for three generations annobled by in Oriental Empress, and himself and succeeding generations ennobled by an Occidental Queen Both are highly fittering.
