THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1895.

Certainly the pleasure of this concert should go far to repay the discomfort of the early day to the visitors, and foduce many of them to rovlaft the scene at a future date.

The majority of the excursionists returned to Hongkong by the Honam, leaving at midnight, while a few remained for the Hungshan this morning. All, however, will probably admit that, even if it only be for the sake of the sex- breezes and sharpened appeilies, the trip was most orjovable.

of peace in the East.” If the Great Powers, with Great Britain in the rap, bad tackled the question of neutrality before the outbreak of the recent war it might, fo" all probability, have been solved satisfactorily. On the other hand, had Great Britain, on her own account, prevented Japan from waging war, the end all the Peace Powers have in view-security against further Conflict in the Orient-might have been attaloed somewhat easily. But it is useless to discuss what might, and probably should, have been done.

All talk of England going to war in utter hosh. Sho can't afford to go to war; the risk of permanent injury to her.vast.commercial interests is too great to admit of her embarking on a war with a Great Power' with a light-heart. If England seriously calppled the commerce of France or Russia or of both it would be no death-blow to those mates; but England's commerce ruined, or only seriously injured and Jeopardized, means England's end. Can you find Prime Minister in England who under the present circumstances of England's Isolatieo will run the risks involved in golag to war with

Great Power ? I from not,

The Rev. T. Richard had previously had two interviews with Weng Tang-ho, the Pilme Minister. In consequence Weng asked the Rev. T. Richard to formulate in welting his viOWS LI to the manner in which the reform of China might be accomplished, which he did and presented Weng with the same. Weng Tang-he has been regarded by foreigners generally as conservative and prejudiced against foreigners. Those foreigners who, however, know him well, believe sach sald outward appearances only.

In consequence it is feared that Sigmund... „steamer, ·for, Shanghai, if serious presunto de brought to bear poll. tically upon Weng he may commit some serious and frretrievable blander,

Of course Weng takes it for granted that our views are selfish, and he therefore resists any pressure just because it is pressure. He does not seem to be aware what the diplomatic corps are Guthri driving at. If Wang had really clear ideas of what was absolutely necessary for the reforma tion of the Empire, he would, it is believed, go In for it as much as any of the other Chinese miniators.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT, The Rev, H. S. Wherry said he thought the Reform Movement was but an outcome of the agitation arising from the results of the war, and thought that the sgliation would continue although there might be narest immediate effecta from it.
