Canton, June 1st, 1903. THE DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL.
Yesterday was a geactal holiday. Shops were closed and the streets were filled with all classes of people out for a holiday. The day was fine and was all the more enjoyable after the long spell of wet weather. The river was lined with boats from early morning, the sight seers having taken up their positions in the night. The dragon boats were not as numerous as formerly nor do they appear to have spent as much time on decorations, flowever, during the day there was a goodly number of boats and the sightseers cheered and made noise enough to satisfy the occupants of the dragon boats. To-day not the sound of a drum has been heard. This is so unusual that we
inquired the cause. It appears that the prefect' of Kwong Chau Fu put out a proclamation some days ago requesting the gentries and people to refrain from the dragon bont festivi- ties this year. Among other reasons it was urged that trouble might arise and lives be fest. What the trouble expected was the official did not me quite clear. Some wise heads say the ufficials feared an attack on Canton, However, everything passed iff quietly and the
opena, ricksbus pulf up at the gate and early arrivals, mostly comprising members of the native population, are soon atrolling along the paths. To all appearances they enjoy the music, the cool air, and the company of each other's society. Half an hour later your Hong. kong visitor swaggers in, afraid almost of soiling his patent bouts or crumpling his glossy shirt front. He does not seem to be enjoying the music, or the cool air and wears a worried look, Surely, you have enough of evening dress during the winter months in liongkong, and could well afford to leave it in charge of the boy. However, there are others who prefer to visit us for a free and easy rest, and as such your correspondent is enjoying a few days adjourn where fashions and fancies are not wanted, and where the delights of the place rest in discarding the pomp and vanities of Hongkong.

It is also reported that 2,000 French soldiers have invaded the former district. Ting Teeng To, the Viceroy of Yunnan-Kweichow, wired that the mob was all miners in a copper mine near Linganfu. Their number exceeds 100,000. They are supposed to be in sympathy with the Kwangsi rebels, but so far they have not found opportunity to cooperate with the latter. The Wai Wu' Pu is said to have re. ceived a message in yphers that the mob have had an encounter with the French, many of the latter were captured. The missionaries, mos!- ly Romanist, have since sought refuge in Yunnanfu, the capital of the province.

It remains to be seen what form the action of Great Britain and Japan will take. It would be a useless waste of time and space to enlarge on our present interests in Manchuria, and the reality of their import- ance is too well known to every British resident in China to require repetition. It would be of more interest të know what measures will be taken by our Government to ensure the safety of those interests both present and future. That Japan will make every effort to prevent the actual accomplishment of Russian projects, that her interests in the quasi-annexed pro vince, both political and commercial, are enor. mous, are questions that can be confidently answered in the affirmative; but it is doubtful whether the strong opposition she would most certainly offer would be saccessful without help from Great Britain. It is to be desired that our present Cabinet will see its way to the inauguration of a new em in their Eastero policy and that, conjointly with Japan, speedy and energetic action will be taken. There is no doubt that the commercial and political interests of the two countieffer sufficient reasons for a mutual understanding, and the treaty of the 30th January, 1932, a sure base for joint action. We have no desire to see sible to draw conclusions from similar situations in the past a firm front would most probably be productive of a "climb down," but there are few of us who would not rather accept the bitter necessity of stern strife than be witnesses of a keep-till-called-for, milk-and-water protest with its consequent shame and loss of prestige, not to mention the probable abandonment of a plucky ally who undoubtedly looks to us for support,

THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
The Customs authorities have just begun to make preparations for the St. Louis Exposition. They expect to make a good showing, but it is too soon to say just what can be done.
The recent Russian note to the Court of Peking, which, read it as one may, means the virtual annexion of Manchuria by that power, has not come as a surprise. This development has long been foreseen and predicted by many who from experience have gaine any real knowledge of the tortuous meanderings of able to appreciate at their just value the smooth promises of the government of the Great White Czar.

I was tolf that some years ago the ricksha cooles went on strike and the municipality yielded to their wish by having the regulation withdrawn which it had promulgated. China is the land of strikes such as are known in this country from remote times. If the inhabitants of a Chinese province or city consider any Government order to be unjust, they do not obey it and passively resist it by going on strike, and the Govern ment finds itself obliged to abrogate the order. Strikes are a necessity of a democratic country. The Chinese Government is ruled by its people, of whom it is in great fear. It is the ancient traditions, custom and, universal justice that prevail in this empire.

It is very doubtful, how exer, that in event of the crisis reaching an acute stage, the citizens of that Republic would be willing to sacrifice men and money to aid in the execution of Russia's policy in the Far East. Indeed, if one can judge by several recent very candid opinions expressed by a section of the Parisian press, a spirit of disillu sion is creeping in concerning the benefits to be reaped by France from her alliance with the most autocratic of governments. Up to the present the profits have been decidedly one- s ded. Thanks to French money, Russia has been saved from bankruptcy, she has rearmed and reorganized her army, strengthened her fleet and has been able to persist in her policy in the Balkans and in China. France, however, has gained nothing from the partnership, and she is as far if not further than ever from the realization of the unspoken, though ever latent, and natural ambition of the nation, namely, of wiping out the insult inflicted in 18, and the return of the Two Lost Provinces ".

Last year when he first took over the governorakip of Kwangsi there was at the time neither a sufficiency of troops in the province, nor money to pay them, nor any weapons to arm them. Subsequently he raised and got together ten battalions of Hunanese troops and through the kindness of the late Viceroy Liu K'un-yi obtained proper firearms for them. The late Viceroy Tao Mu and Governor To Shou of Canton then raised the funds to pay his troops whilst from Viceroy Chan Chih-tung he obtained two battalions of twelve quick-firing Armstrong fieldpieces. Subsequent bodies of troops raised to increase his forces were armed from supplies sent by Governor Të Shou, who had now become Viceroy of the Two Kwang upon the death of the late Tao Mu, and who also sent to Kwangsi a force of zoco men to reinforce his (Wang'a) army.
