THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA.

JAP NESE GOVERNMENT SCHEMES.

According to the Yurudzu Chaho, the Jana nese Government has under contemplation the following extensive schemes in China?--

-To establish n leather manufacturing, and woollen cloth weaving company at Tientsin to contract for the supply of arms, ammunition leather goods, boots and shoes, blankets and woollen cloth necessary for a reformed Chinese

army.

3-To establish at Tientsin à Mint and a

printing office to contract for the reformed currency and to supply other goods required in the remodelling of the financial adminis tration.

3-To contract for the repair of reads, the construction of waterworks, railways, and telephone lines in the cities. of Tientsin and Peking, rendered necessary, in the improve ment of the public communications.

4.—To contract for the publication of school text-books and thers required for the reform

of the educational system.

To establish commercial museums at

Tientsin and Peking, gradually extending them to the important cities in the interior.

According to the Yorodzu, it is proposed to establish a syndicate of Japanese and Chinese to finance and carry out these ambitious schemes. The proposed Japan-China Bank will also give financial assistance in this development. A great effort will be made to increase the intercourse, social and commercial, between Japan and Chinag

The foreign population on the island of Kulangsu are dependent on their moment the wells are very low as we have wells for all their drinking water, and at present had no rain for a very long time. Chinese population of Amoy island consists of about sixteen thousand families and when a from the want of fresh water. As a rough long spell ofdrought sets in they suffer greatly calculation, say about four persons to a family (sometime much more) that will give about 64,000 inhabitants on the island, and they will use about two tan of water per day, for food, drinking, etc., and that will give a daily expen- diture of about 256,000 buckets of water, equal to 7.529 tors of water per day, reckoning one tan to the picul, and if paid for at the rate of $2,560 per day. The Japanese have, so I hear two Mexican cents per fan it will give about and from what I have seen, selected a Valley in the Si Shan Mountain on the Amoy Island, about three miles from the city of Amoy, from where they intend to lay pipes connec

THE MARINE INSURANCE BILL.ting Amoy and suburbs with the Water-works.

The Marine Insurance Bill has been finally withdrawn, as far as this Session is concerned, and the fate which has overtaken it is a good example of the way things are done in our unbusiness-like Parliament, observes the Pit.– G. The object of the fill was to collect and codify the law of marine insurance, which is at present scattered over many statutes and con- fused by judicial decisions until the simplest disputes can only be settled at great expense. The codification, has gone on for eight years, Two Lord Chancellors-the lote. Lord Herschell and Lord Haisbury-have been at work on it, and they have been assisted by that masterly draughtsman Judge Chalmers. The, associa tions which look after the interest of under- writers, shipowners, and average adjusters have all lent their aid, and the bill of the present Session, after amendments, was accepted by all the experts as a fair exposition and con- densation of the present law. The bill passed through the "House of Lords, but when it reached the Commons Mr. Caldwell, among whose a complishments a knowledge of marine insurance law or business is hardly included, expressed himself as dissatisfied. The most patient efforts were made to remove the objec tions, of Mr. Caldwell, but without avail. He blacked the bill, it could riot go forward as an unopposed measure, and now has had to be withdrawn. It comes to this: that no measure of a non-party and purely professional kind can get through Parliament so long as a single- member is pleased to say no. We believe. In all reasonable checks on hasty legislation, but when a codifying bill, upon which eight years' work has been expended, has been successfully blocked by one man, we are disposed to doubt i if our Parliamentary system is quite perfecti
