this "wire" morning) was. In power in the troublous times of thirty-five years ago and is therefore thoroughly familiar with that. phase of the history of the Empire, and his pollay is therefore dictated by the unpleasant experiences of the past. He would naturally ask the Powers to do In '95 exactly what they did in 1861-2, and on their consenting, at once persuade the Emperor Kwang-su to sign the treaty..
The only puzzle in the situation at the present time is Russia joining In, and the only explanation, that appears feasible Is the desire of the Northern Colossus to settle the vexed difficulty of annexa- tion with Japan alone and to bring about
a deficite settlement of that knotty ques- tion at an early date.
"CROPPING" THE BRITISH

On the zoth ulto, at the annual general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the following resolution was proposed by Mr. Granville Sharp, secondled by Mr. Thomas Jackson, and carried unanimously:---
"That the Chamber regards the advent of the British Dollar an sin appertunity for placing the estrener of this Colony upon = satisfactory footing; that as a first step every mean abould be adopted to protect the new coins from the foolish practice of chopping and defacement, and that the Government be requested by the Committee to legislate to that effect in this enlony."

WHY THE EMPEROR OF CHINA SIGNED THE TREATY,
MORE SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS CERTAIN TO ARISE.
SHANGHAI, May 4th,
10.15 am. The ratification by the Emperor of China of the Treaty of Peace was due chlefly to the Influence of Prince Kung and the Interference of some European Powers. There can be no doubt that very serious complications will arise in the near future owing to the manifest aversion of Russia to the annexation by Japan of the Liao tung peninsula, for which the treaty provides....

France, Germany and Russia have induced the Government of China to ratify the Treaty of Peace, in spite of the certain loss of prestige and power by China that must follow, by promising to put down any revolutionary outbreaks that may threaten the stability of the Dragon Throne.
