THE CHINESE REGIMENT.

We have several times rocantly, says the Morning Post, referred to the uncertainty as to the continued existence of the Chinese Røgi- ment at Wei-bai-wei. It was at one time quite decided to disband the regiment entirely, pick Ing out about 300 of the best of the Chinese rank and file and forming them into an armed police for the preservation of law and order at Wei-hai-wei. The next thing heard was that ---the disbandment would not take place for a few

months, but that in the meanting the organisa tion of the police force would be fully worked out. That is perhaps twelve months ago, and. the regimearystill exists. Now, fieaily, Cis stated that the regiment il not be disbanded for at least two years, as the prezant rate of lodging allowance has been extended for that length of time," li is to be hoped that it may be taken from this that the question is now settled and that so useful, unit as a well-train-, ad regiment of native Chinese soldiers will remain a pericndent? part of the regular forces of the Empire
