this action had not always been the result or claamosa of thought-

Sir E. Sassoon regretted that the boundaries of the Yangtze Caballey, had not yet been defined with exactitude : Mr. Joseph Walton contrusted the weak and vacillating action of this country with the vigorous proceedings of other Polvers, and the debate was continued 3 MEN Bill, Mr. Mardona, Mr. Moon, Mr. Harwood, Mr. Provand, and Earl Percy, who while admitting that the policy followed," by the Government was the only pracncal policy for them to pursue thought it might be supplemented advantageously by steps" which, if taken now, would prevent misunderstanding and conflict in the future. Mr Yerunrgh urred the Government jo provide for the reorganization of the Chinese forces in the Yangtze Valley by British repre schlatives; Mr. Labouchere approved generally of the policy of Her Majesty's Ministers, and especially of the agreement with Russia, and speeches were also delivered on the same sub- ect by Mr. Keswick and Mr. Barlow,

Mr. Keswick said it appeared to him that to give affect to the views of the noble lord, the member for York, it would be absolutely necess sary for Great Britain to establish a protectorate over China. He did not believe they were pre pared to take that responsibility, and therefore they had to fall back on what was possible and practical. The Government he believed, could not have done more than they had done without producing a serious condition of things that that House in all probability would not have approved. (Hear, Gear) He trusted it might be possible for the Government, by convention
