I can "The British Master would be g'a to be la x postion to communicate to Hi Majesty's Govers ment definite assurince that Calas would never aliceate any teritory in the provinces séjoining the Yangtzo to any other Power." "To any other Power" would natorelly rad one to sugrose that meant to any other Power bat Great Britain, and that we were the Power to have such aphere of lofluerice, but when I guestloned Sir Claude Macdonald I found that is nothing of the sart and that we are included in the other Poweri. So as matters are we have

not got one single sod in China which belongs to as a "sphere of lufluene," although the people at home think they bave, barring the lease of Wel-hal-wel, and the addition to Han. kong at Miss Bay. What is the portion of other connades? I think we may say, without exaggeration. Raisin has got very extensive sphere of lufluence; I think we may tay Ger many has; bet the Great British nation, with 68 per cent of the whole trade, to Ita hauds, hav no sphere of tnfluence, and so far as the North is concerned there is no open door. • Is that the position we are to remain in ? I think not. (Loud, cheers,) There is no doubt, to my mind, what Roma has in her miod, and 1 again may the is galie right if the can do state her lo bar mlud that her sphere of fuflaence will shonly extend to Peking

That may be neces- alty for some pupa ca iiver the Chinese to protect the ralezy and ree that they do not zon awy whaleopard-cerat, ly one would imagica them ratberloconvent withings-(aughter) bat I beard no reasonabis suggestion why the whole country should be fall of armed Cossacks. At Port Arthur I hear there have been some seventy guns mounted, and there is feverish xoxlaty to get the tallway falted. I asked one of the Russians. I met-they were everywhere most kind and courteous in me--what was the mean- ing of these preparations, and he said it was necessity to protect the trade. Ihave taken the trouble to look ap their trade and I was astounded to find that le two years the Rozsian trade proper has been carried by tice steamers, and on examination to find what these steamers caled I found that all three curled seaweed, (Laughter.) These three steamers paid the duty, but there were talteen others which came in with ratiway material which pait nothing what ever. I asked my Russlan' friend, who was charming perroo, if it took all these armed Cossacks to protect three cargoes of see-weed, what would be the med force required to pro. tect three millions of trade, as the valve of our trade was las year in Newchwang. I need not tell you that I got no answer but a mile. (Laughter.) With regard to Nenchwany, it le one of the must important placesol British trade to this country, for two rexións, one is that it is the plice where cueitadeis increaslug in a larger. degree than any other place out here, the other

It is alt very Africa, nad, a far as I can make out, the At well to say they are golag to open them by farland, as applied to Altics certainly means the whole country except the port. (Laughter) and-by, but I am talking of the present mo men, By-and-by there may be semne difficulty I referred just now to the position of the Chinese is opening the door of Talienwau, because it exernment, and, so far as we can ser at present will be found ab at the inges of the door are so

it is absolutely powerless to cotrol the panple. rusty that the door will not come open at all.

I was not bad of those who think they know (Laughter, and hear, bear) I found that in one everything about China because I am here from day lo Newchwang there were twenty steainars Skiurday to Monday (laughter), but i haya form- carryl g British trade, and I took the trouble toed su eplolos of the people and 1 is based on what count the jaoks on one side of the river and found there were 1600 lying there, I do not oblici to Russia doing what she is doing if the think is necessary for the benefit of her trade, but what I want to point out is that our trade in the future will depend upon the good will of Russia. That is a position to which we are not accustomed in this country, (cheers) and, with out saying anything of a disrespectful aature to Rusia, I do say most emphatically that it is the balneira! our Gavernment to see that there is something more in the nature of security behind our trade than mese diplomatic utterances or assurances, or "the mere good will that I have referred to. (Cheẹn.). Now, if I am not deisla. ing you too long, (ciles of "Go on) I should like to touch on another question which appears to me of great moment, Oar policy as declared by the Cabinet, spriored of by the country, and I am ferlecly sure by evryone in this room, it what is called the "open door." (Hear, hear.) Ministers have raised shely bands over their heads, declaring that they will fight for the open door "The Press and Individuals have made use of pore orless strong language in favour of the "open door; we have sent our fleets roving about in muddy water for the sake of the "open door," but the extraordinary thing is that that door has been shut-absolutely shut, The idea bat the door is kept open because there sre no bottle tariffs or preferental rates is absolutely incorrec! The door can be firmly closed by the interference of ons country with the commercial enterprise of another. You can see what occured It connection with the New chwang railway. A party at home had a con- tract made to be tiered by the Chinese govern ment. One clause in that contract was that ibe securly for the money should caver the whole of the railway to Newchwang. The Russian governmen, in their windows, and with the ides of benefiting their country, strongly objected to that clause. We, on the part of the people propolog the contract, gavo so lotimation that we should not tolente any Isterference with the rallway, But the Russian government pressed their point and galsed, it, and at this moment i tled a long time ago, and I shall make that canc the security thai was to have deen allowed of that portion of the railway from Shanghaikuan to Newchwang does not exist. Now, therefore I say the Cabinet have admitted the right of the Rusalin government to interfére la purely come mercial enterpriser. That is my contention, and if anch things as this occurred in other open parts through the lofinence of England I think we should bear a very great deal mots about It. I cannot conceive way these things go on in what is nominally a Chinese province and in a port
