The China Association and Eng-
land's Sphere of Influence. The Hongkong Branch of the China Associa tion, through its Chairatan, Mr. J. 1. Francis, invites the attention of Her Majesty's Govern- inent to a point recently dwelt on in, these columns, nautely, the radical difference between the idea entertained by Germany and Russia, on the one hand, as to the practical signification of a "sphere of influence" and the idea enter- tained by England, on the other. Germany and Russia insist that in Shantung and Manchuria, respectively, there shall be no granting of railway or mining concessions to any persons but German and Russian subjects, whereas England in the Yangtze valley does not seem to mind who comes in and takes a share of the cake. Mr. Francis justly points out that, although the mere privilege of con- structing a line of railway through a certain district does not confer any special rights there, nor in theory disturb die territorial supemacy of the lord of the soil; the contingencies con- nected with nailway building in China ave in- numemble, and their consequences may be far-reaching. Local disturbances are almost inevitable concomitants of the progress of the undertaking, and each disturbance furnishes a fresh pretext for the preference of new etains and the acquisition of new privileges until the presence of the concessionaire Power becomes invested with a character radically different from the originally con templated. Under these circumstances two courses are open to a Power situated as England is. She may put her. foot down as Germany and Russia do, and insist that a industrial privileges within her sphere of influences shall be restricted to her own people; or she may adopt the more liberal policy of leaving the privileges to be the prize of open competition, but taking steps to deprive their consequences of any inconvenience.. In other words, she inay herself undertake to be responsible for the eficient administration of the regions within which the privileges are granted, so far as concerns the enjoyment of the privileges. That is what the Hongkong Breach of the China Association suggests. It would have Great Britain adopt measures for the protection of life and property in the Yang tsze Valley, so that if the Russo-Franco-Belgian builders of the Pehing-Hankow Railway were the victims of any lawless 'ounges in the Yangisze region. St. Petersburg, Paris, and Brussels should look to London, not to Peking, for redress, The China Association thinks that a small flying column-a miniature corps #arm, quartered in Hongkong and ready to be despatched to any part of China within the Yangtse sphere, would enable Great Britain to assume that responsibility. As to whe ther China would agree to assumption in such a very practical manner, Mr. Frane's does not paise to inquire. He leaves China out of the account altogether as a Sovereign State. The omission is not without justification, but will Downing, Street take that view! It is truc that Russia has stipulated for and obtained the privilege of protecting her own railway builders in Manchuria, and it is also true that Germany has given very practical demonstration of her intention to take the law into her own hands in Shantung. But then these two Powers have made their spheres of influence efficient, and between a nominal sphere of influence and an efficient there is just the suno difference as between an effective and an ineffective block ade of a port or occupation of a, territory. The step that the Hongkong Branch af the China Association proposes would be much more difficult in practice, for, whereas the Russians and Germans owing to their constant presence on the scene, have something of the knowledge required for police duties, the British flying column in Hongkong could never assume any part save that of a punitive expedition. It is further to be feared that the Little Englander will gird violently against the notion of Great Britain's undertaking to protect foreign life and property in China for the purpose of facilitating foreign enterprise. However, there is a fine imperial spirit in the letter of Mr. Francis. If the, duty of building up the empire were entrusted to men like him and his fellow members of committee, the work would pro- gress a pace.Japurs Mail,

uncertain as we were thirty or forty years ago about the real character of the Japanese. For thirty or forty years foreigners have been en- deavouring to discover and catalogue the essential differences between Japanese charac ter and European character, and they are still unsuccessful. Can it be that there are no salient differences?. The writer in the Daily Mail is very confident about the matter. He tatly claims absolute competence to judge whether, and to what extent, the Japanese people are Orientals. Perhaps, then, it will be worth while to follow the points of his demon- stration.

J. A. Setties, the so-called champion' could tance of 97 yards has been thrown by Edward Hercules, the American strong man, and that not throw within ten yards of this distance." I would point on that Edward A. Usner, of Daniel Stewart's College, Edinburgh, threw 112 yards at the annual sports of the above college in May, 1897. He was then 17 years of age. The distance was disputed by an Edinburgh paper, and "Usmar" threw the ball once more expressly for the benefit of this journal. On that occasion he threw 115 yards. It may also interest "Mr." Hercules to learn that at the annual sports of such Edinburgh schools as Loretto, Merchiston Castle, and Felles College Feil if the ball were not thrown over 90 yards the ne promoters would be very much dissatisfied. Kiangfak These facts go to prove that "M" Hercules Sima.... will do wisely to withdraw his absurd challenge Sevia to our magnificent specimen of humanity-viz, Fausang "Eugene Sandow."
