CHINA'S ATTITUDE
PERING, March 16th, The wrong atthände taken by the hinese Government with reference in the Italian demand is due to the fact that the Empress Dowager despises Italy, and none of the Chinese alimisters advocates, peace in the present crisis. So far the teking puputzee is in no way excited.

This arrangement was embodied in an agreement in writing, bearing date the 9th January, 1856, Oue of the terms of this agreement was that, on the ultimate division of the estite, the infant plaintiff's share of it was to be assigned to the said Tang Chang Shi, upon trust for the said Tang Yang Man," This agreement was brought before the Court for its sanction, and on the 11th January, 1896, the Court made an order by which it "approved of the agreement and ordered that the suit should be settled and the division of the estate of Tang Lok, deceased, finally determined under the order and direction of the Court according to the tenns of the agreement." The agreement was then recited in full in the order. The case came before the Court on further consideration on the 11th August, 1897, but the point as to the disposition of the plaintiff's share of the colate was no dealt with in the order there made, The defendant Bruce Shepherd now moved the Court for an order to vary the order of the 11th January, 1896, in su far as it directed the -assignment in trust for the plaintiff of his share in the estate of Tang Lok and that in lieu thereof the said defendant might be directed to retain the share of the plaintiff in the estate until the plaintiff attaind the age of 11 years. and, on his attaining that age, to assign and pay over his share to the plaintiff himself.

(Svilues Daily Telegraph February 21st:)- Tangible proof of the esteem'in which Captain St. Jolin George, of the E and A. Company's steamer Meid, is held by the yachting com- mumy of Sydney was given last evening by the representative gathering that assembled on board the steamer at Circular Quay to do honor to the captain on the occasion of his promotion to the command. Captain St. John The "Old Party" at the Tsunghi Yunen has Gemge has hati a lengthy connection with the probably done more thinking during the last E, and A.

To doing so he referred to the interest to lease Sanmun Bay for a coaling station. It that the captain had at all times displayed was a vain hope, for on the roth inst.

Worst of all is the des appointment ta such petate hurry which demands an answer by the 14th (to-morrow). Ilitherto these leisurely gentlemen have been accustomed to consume a month in performing about two days' work, According to precedent therefore they would require at least six months to discuss the Italian matter, so it is easy to imagine their indignation at being suddenly compelled to adopt "the pace that killa,"
Well, we shall soon see. There is plenty of brave talk and denunciation of the Insatiable foreigner, but alas, there is also much anxious running to paid insatiables for counsel, and very humble supplications tor promises of pro. tection, or help of some kind, but of resolute determination to defend their country it is hard to find a trace.

Company, The address, which was beautifully illuminated, shows some realistic sketches of the harbor, including the entrance to Port Jackson, and artistic views of several of the E. and A. Com. pany's steamers, including the Australian, Guthrie, and Jenmuir. The address refers to the pleasure and satisfaction which his appointment as commander has given, and tothe regard and esteem in which he was held by his numerous Sydney friends and old boating MR. N. LAZARUS her which ensures the supply of Fresh Provi

The address concluded: "We trust that you and your good wife may ever enjoy prosperity and happiness, and we feel sure that through the storms and tempests which strew life's sea, our friend, St. George, ever maintain the best traditions of the British sailor." Among those pre. sent were Mr. J. A. Minnett, Captain.S. G. Green (E. and A. Company), Mr. L. F. Mann, Major George, Mr. C. J. Honty, Mr. F. A. Ire dale, Mr. F. H. Horsey, Mr. P. H. Morton,

At the hearing, the notion was supported by counsel for the defendant Tang Kom Shi and for Tang Ho Shi, a party having leave to attend the proceedings, and it was opposed by counsel for the plaintiff. In these circumstances two questions arose for the consideration of the Court, namely, rst has the Court power to make the order asked for, and and, if the Court has such power, is it right and proper that that power should be exercised and the required grder be made? Concluding his lordship sald on the whole muster I come to the can clusion that, so far as the question under con

I accordingly order that the order in this suit made on the 11th January, 1890, be varied in eo far as it directs that the share of the plaintiff in the estate of Tang Lok, docensed, be assigned to Tang Chang Shi upon trust for the plaintiff, and that in lieu thereof the defendunt Bruce Shepherd "REFORM" IS NOT TOLERATED: be directed to retain the anid share until the The best officials are afraid to visit Peking plaintiff attains the age of at years, and on and the few obliged to come have to "lio low" his attaining that age to assign and pay over for fear of unpleasant consequences.
