This question was debated at the last Congress in 1893, when the Australian and Canadian delegates made a strong endeavour to commit the Congress to a decision favourable to the policy of imposing differential duties in the Mother Country in favour of her Colonies and
to reciprocate by imposing duties favourable to the Mother Country. Tho, Congress, by a majority of votes, refused to be committed to this policy, and voted in favour of "Fica Trada”.
The interests of this Colony (the Stralis) are very clearly la favour of the latter: the facilities and freedom from interference which have to a large extent created her trade are more than craz secessary, In these days of increasing competition, to its maintenance, and the Singa. pore Chamber of Commerce has taken care that the interesis of Singapore in this import ant quesiton will be adequately represented at the coming Congress.-Communicated to
THE RUSSIANS AT CHEFOO. (Proceedings in the House of Commons on the
14th May)
Mr. MOON asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether certain land at the Treaty Port of Chefso, claimed by right of pre- rmption, or possession, by British subjects, had been recently occupied by or on behalf of Russian subjects or the Rasalan Government, and, if so, whether he could give any further
details in the matter?
Mr. O'KELLY and Sir E. ASHMKAD-BARTLETT also asked similar questions,
In 1877, when I took charge of the Flest Fresbyterian Church of Houston, Texas, he lived on his plantation a few lies below the city, but was a frequent visitor to one of my elders, the late E. H. Cashing, and attended my church when on his visits. Thus I came to know bias somewhat intimately. In that year the Russo- Turklab war began, and there was great interest among the mere thoughtful people of my congregation in the result of the conflick | the " Straits Times." Nearly all of my friends, and especially my ministerial bratbreo, were warmly in favour of Russia, regarding her as the vindicator of Chilst fanity against Mohammedaniem, and as God's instrument for the destruction of the unspeak Rear-Admiral Oxley, who is to be second la

"There is no British concession at Chefoo la the sense of what is understood by the use of this word as applied to Canton, Hankow, and other ports where Beldab concessions were provided under the Tientsin Treaty. It is more accurate to describe the foreign quarter at Chefoo as a relilement in the same manner as we speak of the Shangbat settlement, where there is no con- ccasion. The distinction between a British con- cession and a settlement is really very clear and well defined.
