THE BITER BIT

- There are comparatively few who have heen in any way deceived as to the real sentiments of the Chinese Cout and Go -vernment since the historic return to Peking from the exile in Hsian, and there have been many who have been fully aware that behind all the ostensible courtesy and hospitality lay, an undying hatred and cun. ningly devised schemes for revenge. These schemes, evolved in crude and ignorant minds, have perforce been characterised by à corresponding crudity as, for instance, the old childish idea of driving the foreigners

into the sea is still maintained. As part

and parcel of this idea the desirability

of shifting the royal residence and seat of Government

rather less accessible place has continually presented itself. Any way the palaces at Hsian,, Kalfenglu, and Paotingfu have ever since yoo been kept more or less in a state of preparation in case of emergencies arising. There can be no question that the presence of the lage Legation Giards, and more particularly the more extensive Legations with their big guns always coreting the Palace and its approaches, has kept the Court in a continuous tremour, and in audition to at this, the for ever renewed demand to throw Peking open as a Trading Port has well nigh rendered the position intolerable. The recently signed Treaties stipitiate for this latter concession only after such time as the forces are withdrawn from North China, and the guards from the Legations, a sufficiently remote period

It may be taken as a foregone conclusion that if Peking ever | was opened it would cease to be the political and Imperial capital, and if China ever dues consent su to open it, it will be on the understood condition that the seat of Gov- ernment moves elsewhere.

First she dismantled her fortress at Yongampho; now she withdraws her soldiers. According to a cable received at the Manila

consulate from an official source in Japan, the Russians have fallen back from Korea into Manchuria and war is not expected until the spring.

Chairman.

The Chairmain said:-Gentlemen, the report and accounts have now been in your possession for some days, and I will therefore, with your permission, take them as read. The directors are pleased at being able to present to you so satisfactory a statement of the past year's work- ing. This satisfactory result is very largely due to the absence of any serious outbreak of disease dating the period under review-a blessing which (if you had been as long associated with this Company as I have) you will not fail to be thankful for. Our herd is at present in excel- lent health and condition, and we are continual- ty importing young stock of pure breed from England, America, and Australia, so as to im prave and make it as perfect as possible, and thus make the milk, rich as it is, richer still, We can assure you that at the present moment we believe you possess a herd, the quality and quantity of which is unsurpassed by any dairy in the East. We trust our policy of substantial- For the Year ending 30th April, 1903, ly writing down the value of our cattle will com- pend itself to you, as it is an almost unvarying Cash in hand...

The rapid growth of the population in Kowloon has induced your directors to open a depot there for the sale of milk and dairy products generally. For this purpose we have leased No. 57 Elgin Road, and we have no doubt this new departure will be greatly appreciated by all Kowloon residents, as well as increase our revenue. We are now in a position to offer sterilized milk in large or small quantities to all those requiring milk so treated. It is intended for the use of young children or invalids, and for those who prefer pure fresh milk on long voyages--this milk, as you all know, will keep sweet for an indefinite period, the sterlising process destroys all germs the milk may contain.
