DASTARDLY CUTRAGE ON THE PRAYA,
EUROPEAN NEARLY BLINDED WITH VITRIOL.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1901.
chwang to the effect that all the Arsenals in Shengching have been already destroyed in accordance with the terms of the recent treaty entered into with Russia in regard to the eastern provinces.
Anxious Care for Telegraph Foles.
Last year in Kiangsi province evil men. scattered evil rumours, the consequence of which was missionary cases and much des- truction of telegraph poles and wires. H. E. Sheng, Director General of Telegraphs, of course, heard of it and set the machinery in motion which resulted in a special decree for the future protection of the poles and wires. Those who hide the plunder will be beaten 60 blows and banished for one year. Those who steal will be branded with the three characters "stealing official property." The proclamation also points out that the telegraph is of such great use to government and merchants that the sin of destroying it is all the more unpardon able. But is not a man of more value than a telegraph pole? We shall expect the like care for Chinese subjects who are persecuted fur righteousness' sake.

And the failure must continue so long as the heads of departments are selected in the present haphazard way—either because they have distinguished themselves in paths entirely foreign to their present duties, or because their selection for the posts they now hold enables them to remain on full pay until a vacancy occurs for which they are by habit, training, and experience, suited.

He then showed how, after numerous concessions, having their origin in political considerations, had been granted to Germany, France, and Russia, Great Britain was compelled, in order to preserve the balance of power, to forego her intention of seeking no further territorial advantages there. Passing to the various railway and mining concessions, their importance, tapping, as they do, the rich agricultural and mining areas of the Empire, he thought that in this direction British interests had not suffered. Finally, in reviewing inter- national policies for the last few decades, he thought that so far as the British Empire is concerned, there is a necessity for concentra. tion primarily for the benefit of the various members of the Empire. The Yangisze Valley was of vital importance to Great Britain and to that Greater Britain which was now fast be coming a concrete fact, and he contended that in this respect we had duties of trusteeship which could not be disregarded, as this region to Canada and Australia, while to India its in the future would become of much importance preservation from hostile influence was of the first necessity.
