The course of the negotiations for the loan is very clestly and accurately described. That it should be awarded to England and Germany was strongly urged by Lord Sallabory, and the German Government, and was agreeable to the Chinese Government, whose wish was that, provided they could get as good terms by so dividing it, England, France, Germany, and Russia should each have an equal share in the honour of providing the money to enable China to pay her indemnity to Japan. France and Russia haring secured the fint hundred millions, the Chinese Government was quite willing, if not anxious, that England and Germany should have the second handred. The difficulty in settling with the English and German banks tay in the terms they proposed to accept. Their offer was of a fire per cent, loan at the equi. valent of 894, with the advantage of any better terms that might be arranged in London and Berlin. This the Chinese thought too dear, and they gradually got disgusted with the firmness which the two Banks showed in adhering to their terms. This was the opportunity of the syedicates and financial fouls who have flooded Peking dating the past winter. Offer were made to the Chinese by Americans, Shanghai Jews, German, British, and French syndicates. Loans in silver on a silver basis, and geld loans In pounds sterling, to marks and france and gold dollars, were showered in upon the poor antorionete and Ignorant Chinese Ministers Telegrams from Shanghai told them of silver loans at four per cent, and four-and-a-bali per cent, st par, which could be negotiated." This babble was pricked by the report reaching Peking of a case in the British Supreme Court at Shanghai In which the Viceroy Chang Chib-tung was plaintiff, but which has so far come to nothing owing to the Viceroy not baving acceded to the silly Order la Council which demands 蛋白 entirely superfluous consent. In writing to the jurisdiction from foreign plaintiff in the British Court, the plaintiff having practically indicated bis consent by appearing in that character, We supposed that the case in question had came to nothing; hut we now learn that had far-reaching con sequences. The other miscellaneous offers to help China teem to have before long evaporated because the Agents had not the necessary financial backing. Cheap as money is at home, it is somewhat difficult for Tom, Dick, or Hany to raisa sixteen millions for China on better terms than two financial institutions like the two Banks concerned in this loan can What has been the secret of this success? offer. They had raised their offer by this time To what cause are we to attribute the fact that, to the equivalent of got, and might do better. in spite of obstacles so many and so great, we Now came in the disturbing and dangerous have conferred such lasting benefits upon Egypt? element, the French offer.

Again, we have vindicated our moral right to continue the occupation by raising the condition of the mass of the people from one of virtual slavery and degradation lato one of freedom and prosperity. We found the peasantry of Egypt overtaxed, ground down by malad- ministration, and virtually without the protection of law in the affairs of private ifle. At the present moment injustice and oppression, both as regards taxation and the course of Justice, have ceased to exist. The fellabeen can now get justice both against the official and the rich man. Last, but not least, we have sa math improved the public works that Egypt now enjoys the blessings that nature has placed at her disposal. Filteon years age the hydraulic engineer who visited Egypt had to regret the waste and is competence that deprived her of hall her natural wealth. Now, though he may point out that still more might be done by great schemes such as the Amoun Reservoir, he has to admit that all the facilities close at hand are fully employed. There is no waste of natural resources that care and fore thought can prevask.
