Besides all this, Mr. Francis wat recommended by the Committee to Her Majesty's Government being enfiled to some recognition fir his able services as Chairman, and Policemen May was also favourably mentioned.

(1.) The liberty to navigate the Yangis sive C-kok, and on soochen
and the Canal t› Soochow, and Hangchow, is most important for com. merce, but at Weasong there' is a well known bar, and many vessels are grounded or sunk there annually. Dredging, also, has been greatly neglected between Chung-king and Iching, so that navigation there is most dangerous, while mach annoyance is caused by the natives. The Chinese Government should therefore be made responsible for dredging the rivers in question and preventing the natives from causing annoyance to travellers and residents of every nationality,
(2) Hitherto the Chinese Government has probibited the Japanese from entering the Interior In Chinese costumes and wearing grass, which it is very convenient to wear when engag Ing in trade in the interior. The opportunity of the new treaty should be taken to have this prohibition removed.
(3) Great inconvenience is caused to trade by the system of Chineka car·ency. It would there fore be of great advantage if the Japanese you were declared legal tender in China Justas leika Mexican dollar, and it should also be received at the Chloese Custom Houses.

PARLIAMENTARY,
The perlifon from the Straits Setilements waka presented to the House of Commons by Mr. Hanbury on the roth May, and is a protest by the colonists in Singapore against the payment of an excessive military contribution. Wa havo already given the main contents of the petition. The whole question of military contributions from the Crown Colonies in the East is being considered by a Departmental Commited which has been at work for two years, but has not yet done anything" apparently. It is intended to press for the early presentation of the Report with the object of terminating the dispute. The Colony suggests the payment of seventeen per cent of the Revenue la place of a fized sum, and it is to be hoped this will prove the basis of an agreement which will be of a fixed nature.

It reply to Mr. Henniker-Heaton, Mr. Bozton seld: There is no Ordinance providing that Mloisters an 1 others entitled to the prefix Honourable" fa self-governing colonies should receive the same designation in this country; but in June, 1893, the Queen, to quote the London Gazette approved "of the use and recognition throughout Her Majesty's dominions of the tio of Honourable at present appertaining tive Councils in colonies possessing responsible only locally to members of Executive or Legiala-

that the responsible Government colonies stand on a different plane to the Crown colentes ; and as it was not contemplated to give the honour so extensively na would become necessary if it were conceded in the case of all colonies, silke great and small, it appeared to Her Majesty's advisers that the simplest line to draw would be between these two classes of Her Majesty's colonial possessions."
