NOTES AND COMMENTS. England's Far Eastern Policy. The above heading will doubtless cause every old China hand to smile quietly to to himself, for we who live on the spot from one year's end to another are able to appre- ciate the so-called British policy at its full worth and, as our business necessitates our minds being occupied by all things affecting China and the China trade, unlike the home folk, we are able to keep a close watch upon affairs and are quick to note any new action or occurrence which
may affect our interests.
Looking backward over the history of Great Britain in the Far East for the last struck at once by the half century, one vast amount of work done, the immensc sums expended and--the very trifling things accomplished. treaties, we have obtained sundry and divers trade concessions, but every treaty has been either disregarded or rendered of little or no value, while trade concessions have been rendered rugatory by the creation of vexa- tious restrictions and preferential treatment for the Chinese.
We have made various
Yet one can hardly be surprised at such being the case when our sees how often our so-called policy has been changed, how we have wavered and drifted and allowed matters to take their own course. The only wonder
is that in the face of these adverse circum- stances we have been able to obtain the lion's
share of the trade; but this, in all probability can be safely put down to the fact that the other nations of Europe were not in a position to compete with us, and hence the greater portion of the trade fell to British enterprise. Now however, matters are altering. Germany and the United States-are-fast-pushing-ahead, both. as shipowners and foreign traders, and Japan has built up for herself a naval and mercan- tile marine which bids fair to be ho un- worthy foe and will strive to wrest from us the position of the carriers of the world.

aguce. So far we have escaped our winter visitation of small-pox.
To-day we have an excellent example of this. China may be credited with the fact that to-day the Emperor is to return to Peking, apparently unaccompanied by the Empress Dowager, and all who have studied Chinese history during the past few years will recognise the fact that this should tend towards reform. The second entry on the same side is to be found in the announcement which we publish to-day to the effect that the Peyang Squadron, the sole remaining remnant of China's fleet, is to be immediately reorganized under British This certainly

MR. J. LAYCOCK is already commencing to busy himself with the Boxing Tournaments that are fixed for the two evenings of the forth. coming race days. The names of those to meet are good enough to make a great show if they

Was ever such a contradictory country known With one hand the fools required for the inauguration of reform are presented to the people, and the other hand immediately grasps and removes the material required to use them to advantage. Truly China is a land of surprises, and it seems almost hopeless to look forward to her awakening!

There can be no doubt but that we have missed very many opportunities which, had they been taken advantage of would have placed us in a much stronger and more &c.paramount position than we now occupy. Had we but seized the chance offered of befriending the Emperor at the time of the Coup d'etat, of rescuing him from the clutches of the Empress Dowager and the Conservative and Anti-foreign party, China might by now have been thrown open to foreign trade and have been steadily pro- gressing under a reformed and enlightened government.
