GOOD NEWS FOR MERCHANTS.
.
IMPORTANT ALTERATION OF THE
TRANSIT PASS RULES. (From our Spichat Correspondint }
CANTON, March 8th,
It affords me Infalte pleasure to be able to report that the articles recently pubished In the Telegraph exposing thoroughly the nam trang hindrances to trade in Kwangtong and Kwangs, seem to be bearlag good fruit and that one of the most fil-devised portions of the Trans!! Pass Rules has now lost its sting by decree of the powers that be la Peklog. The good news is embodied in a new set of Rules, a copy of which I attach hereto, that give evidence of a very thorough knowledge on the part of the Carps Diplomatique of the difficoller that have hitherto basst the fareigarr endeavouring to carry on bes'ness with the In. terior by means of Trees Pauses. They alto speak volumes for the sagacity and energy eithe United States Mialter in Chios and his col- leagues who have brought the discussion is TE the transit trade to such a greatly-to-be-desired liste,
Having got wind of the good news from a ifend in Pekleg I was proceeding to lavesilgate, when 1 happened to drop across that very live American official, Dr. Bedloe, iroking even brighter. I could see by the merry twinkle lo his eye that there was something "oo" and I at once risked a schuff by abruptly popping the questior-"Is there any truth in the report that a new and greatly improved set of Transit Pass Rules has been agreed upon by the repre- sentatives of the Great Powers in conjuction with the President of the Trung Yamen and the Inspector General di Customs ?". In reply the Doctor was good enough to say that there could be no secret about it, for a new set of Ruler had been sealed, slyned and delivered and in the interest of the trade and commerce of his Con
aular District he would with pleasure supply me with a copy for publication, addlug, as he did so after we had reached his office, "I trust the publication of the Rules will lead to expan sien of trade, an increase of the Customs Revenue and mach benefit to the provincial officials la minimising the risks of heavy claims belog lodged with them on account of the delen. tion of foreigners' goeds covered by Transit Pauses while in transitu for an inland market, as has only too often been the case under the old order of things. The Rules appear to be framed in a manner that Insures protection of the Revenue, and at the same time, dezeût merchants generally,"
THE RULES.
1.--Certificated imperied goods going from a Trealy Pert to any toland place duly specified sball be free aler payment of a half daly for Transit Pars from farther taxation of any kind, 11.-En arrival of the goods at the place of destication the certificate shall be cancelled.
III-If the Ealire quantity of goods duly cenfica'ed zie mald while en route to a 'sted destination then the Certificate must be cancelled at the barrier where the goods sta sold.
17. Should the entire quantity of Certificated Gords not be told, but only a portion be sold, on the remainder reaching the next barier the quantity and description of the goods sold and she place where the sale took place must be reported by the merchant to the Lekin Office spccupon the official in charge of the Lekin Office will make an endorsement on the Certificate under his seal of office and the balance of the goods will be allowed to pass without delay,
V-Clear and strict Instructions must be issued to the officials in charge (1.the bartlers nearest the post where goods are despatched Inland that they must not allow certificates duly stamped by them to pass goods a second time.
VI-I on eximination it be found that certi ficates are being used a second time the goods specified to them will be confiscated,

Some moribs ago tha Morning Post describe Course-Markbast north of Cowechow and ed the praise of the Rasstans la Mongolia, and the growing evidence of a design on the part of thel authorities to ex end the "aphere of irfluence"-as the chirent and conveniently clastic phrase has it-in this dailylag region of the Chinese Empire.

Yet there is more la the decision of the St. Petersburg authorities then appears at first, and the fail gal ficance of the decision can only be realised by a consideration of the position these three cities on the highway el Mongolis in relation to other centres of Raisten activity, Urga, which it merely the Russian designation, and which is simply Palees, is known as Bogde- Kuren to the netwɛs, and li really the capital of Northern Mongolis, as well as the most impor!- ent trading and distributing place of the whole region.

Given a lessational divorce case, or a trial at the Old Bailey, such as scandalized society two or three years ago, the peculiar qualities of the Journalistic Conscience are made strikingly ma alfest.

Why is it sight to report the detall ofs divorce case with perbags two or three co-respondents, and wrong to pablish a work of fiction in which the relations of the sexes are really much less freely discussed?
