A REVISED CHINA.

- We republish the following taken from the first number of the London Letter, a weekly Journal of promise, published specially for the use of Britishers in the Colonies and abroad, We do not entirely agree with John Downright in all he says in this letter, but we do heartily concur in the necessity for downright plain speaking in these days and we wish the new

"been superfluous, for the British Gövér- ment always does that as soon as they are made.

My dear Charlie-Yes, my dear fellow, you are perfectly right, British interests are golas to the dogs.

In order to make my argument clear I have sketched out a map of the Far East which is not at all like the authorised maps one buys, except in general outline, for it represents a new Far East which Great Britain could perfectly well arrange without war and almost without complications. The effect of such an arrangement would be that we as Britons should be able to hold up our heads once more aut here, for not only should we be respected on account of our practical strength, but even the Chinaman would acknowledge that we had effected something which would operate for his Tasting good. Then again, we could make money, which in a business community is a consideration.

Let me begin by running over a few points with regard to China on which all of us are agreed.

There are

1. The Chiness Administration is corrupt and rotten to the care and is incapable of gov erning the buntry.

The only method of making China abide by her international contracts is force.

3.The Russians are in the process of ab- sorbing Northern China and, in measure as they do so, British influence at Peking suffers increasingly.

-We do not see our way of stopping Rus stan aggression as far as land fighting is con- comed

-We cannot make any compact with Russia which would be worth the paper it was written on.

6-There must come a day when, Russian aggression will have made the influence of that country paramount with the Chinese gav ernment unless steps are taken to counteract that influence,

7-Russian influence on China is pernicious in that it is neither of a civilising nature nor embraces the "open-door" policy.

ww

You will notice that the Germans at Kiao- Chau are within the limits of the New China. No doubt, the Germans would be glad though to work in with the above mentioned alliance; and, in fact, I should be for lettitig 'em all come" within reason. We might even take in France, when she has had enough of her one- sided alliance with Russia; for a very doubtful modicum of a gloire, whatever that may be cannot prove satisfying in the long run. By the way, what is this I hear "We are going to make a compact with Russia to give her a free hand in the north of China, on the condition that we are to do what we like in the south" Where would France come in under these

Talking of France brings one to the question of the southern frontier of the Revised China This I should maintain in its existing form. French political, under the guise of missionary, influence is undoubtedly strong in southern China to-day; but it would not be so with a

CLIPPING FROM HOME PAPERS..

LONDON, April zand.

MR. BALFOUR AND THE TRANSVAAL. Anny Estimates were under consideration during the greater part of the sitting of the House of Commons yesterday. Various sub- jects of more or less interest were discussed, including the increase of British troops in South Africa. Several Radical members spoke with warmth on this matter, contending that what was happening would inevitably excite the hostility of President Kruger and the Boers, even if it did not arouse the suspicion of the colonists themselves. At length Mr. continue the irritating debate. The idea that Balfour appealed to the Committee not to the troops were intended to coerce anybody in South Africa was utterly absurd. The Govern ment had no provocative intentions. They desired to interfere with no-man's rights, but merely to maintain their own. The Johannes burg correspondent of the mer says that the population there are awaiting anxiously, the decision of the British Government on the recent petition. Everything indicates that Pretoria would yield to pressure, If the opportunity is missed the capitalists will almost certainly make peace with the Government at the expense, possibly, of Imperial interests.

THE ANGLO AMERICAN UNDERSTANDING.

A REPORT BY LORD KITCHENER. After a camel ride of 800 miles through the Eastern Soudan, the Sirdar has arrived at Ber ber. In a telegram to the authorities in Cairo, he says:-

"Everywhere I found the people thankful for their release after their terrible suffering during the Dervish rule. The country is much ruined. The Shukurich tribe, which used to pasture 80,000 camels, now has only 1,000, The Hadendowas suffered worse than the other. tribes, immense numbers dying of famine in Osman Digna's camp, where the whole tribe was collected by the Baggaras and not allowed to leave. Except on the Abyssinian frontier, near the Gallabat and Baxch country, public security is excellent everywhere and travelling is safe without guards."

Lord Kitchener met the sheiks of the differ ent districts, who are all cheerfully doing their utmost to repair the damage done during Dervish rule and collecting all the scattered people as far as possible. If there are good rains this year they hope to make a fair start and rapidly improve. In some parts of the country which Lord Kitchener passed through the soil was very rich, but wells and roads were greatly wanted to open the district. This work has already "een begun.

FEELINGS OF THE POWERS TOWARDS AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Wednesday. The Independent, in an article on the Coghlan incident, says "So far as actions can be taken as a criterion of thoughts, the feelings of the English during the war were with us heart and, soul. We do not know what Admiral Chichester told Admiral Diedrichs, No one but Dewey knew what the British deet would do in case Manila was bombarded. That was the rumour, at any rate. The Germans cer- tainly gave us some anxiety, while the attitude of the English certainly saved us much trouble. We don't believe the Germans meant to fight. The French ships were polite enough, but the when they spoke of us, and blackguarded us French papers in Asia frothed at the mouth after the battle of Manila, calling us bullies, cutthroats, and robbers. The war showed us all the great European nations unfriendly, the single exception being England. We believe we also opened England's eyes to our prowess and our possible mission in the work of deve lopment-Reuter.

arrangements for the passage of the troops on the occasion. The visitors are timed to arrive. at Fenchurch-street Station shortly before ten o'clock.

All these things being accepted, it seems to me that the remedy lies in aur doing away with Peking, or rather with doing away with ite political importance. We should in fact shift the capital of China; shift it to a place which is beyond the control of Russia, where we can adequately protect not only the Chinese Empire agamst her enemies, but also the Chiharan against the official class,

To do this must reduce the size of China by lopping off from it all of the Northern provinces; we must in fact perform the drastic surgical operation of of saving the trunk. ·..

"That is all very well," you will say, but where are we to draw the line? Are we to have an itinerant Capital in a caravan, or a junk, which shall recede aouthward in measure as Russia advances in that direction?" Net at All Nature has provided a line of demarca, tion, and that line is formed by the course of the Hwang-he. That enormous river, with its treacherously shifting bed, will form a terrible obstacle to those who are to build the railway from Peking southwards; and will also cause considerable difficully to an army attempting to cross it. On the banks of this river we should take our stand, and say to Russia once and for all, “So far shalt thou come and no farther

April 25th. ANGLO-AMERICAN UNITY IN SAMOA CORDIAL SPEECH BY AN AMERICAN JUDGE.

The cause of Anglo-Saxon unity received an impulse at the hands of an American judge says that at the anniversary banquet of the St. last night. Reuter's New York correspondent Georges Society, the healths of Queen Victoria and of President McKinley were drunk. Chief Justice Fort, of the New Jersey Count of Com- mon Fleas, in the course of speech, said, The power of unity of purpose of these two great nations cannot be overestimated. The Sanean incident proves that if Germany had fired alone, or America or England had fired alone, international complications beyond and the United States fired together, there was estimation might have followed. When England silence in all the capitals of the world. No nation under: the sun can refuse arbitration when these two peoples declare that wise policy. The peace of the world is in their hands.

INVITATIONS TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

According to reports from Vienna, Bulgaria, Timer, to be invited, with the consent of the Sultan to attend the Peace Conference, and it is, stated that the Pope may possibly be re- presented too. Commenting on this intelli gence, a leading journal there suggests that the Dutch Government should still endeavour to have the two Dutch Republics In South Africa invited to the Conference, the list of invitations being-apparently, not definitely closed. This is said to be the more desirable as the public evidently very painfully resent the exclusion of the Transval and the Orange Free State, and are therefore not in the proper frante of mind for the feception of the delegates to the Peace Conference

No river it is true, however award the natural barrier which it affords, can be regarded as a complete means of protection in itself, Later on I will tell you how such a frontier could be protected; so for the thue being, let us assume that it can be done. Now the first thing to be accomplished in order to bring about what I may call the "Revised China" is to form a solid strategical and commercial heaty between Great Britain, the United States and Japan; e solid, but a very simple one, for the interests of those three nations are at present identical in the Far East. These allied Powers should then approach the Paking Authorities with a scheme of reform for China, and insistis, says the Rotterdam correspondent of the on that scheme being put into effect..

In the event of there being any opposition, as no doubt there would be, the allied. Powers should withdraw their representatives from Feking and notify the world that they no longer recognise the existing Chinese Government, They should then establish new regimeinanow capital.

The omnibus in which he was travelling stopped a yard ar so from the bridge that crosses the railway, but he refused to get out there, and apparently out of sheer "cussedness travelled on to Shep- hand's Bush, where he declined to pay the extra penny.
