Au American Engineer, Mr. Bash, secured a concession in 1898, for the construction of a railway between Canton and Hankow. This was to be a purely American railway or Anglo- American railway.

CHINA'S CURRENCY.
COMMERCIAL ATTACHE'S REMARKS.
In the report on the foreign trade of China- for the year 1903, Mr. J. W. Jamieson, the Commerical Attaché to His Majesty's Legation
in Peking, refers at some length to the
currency proposals in China.
Professor Jenks came on to China to lay the commission's proposals before the Imperial Government, and to make arrangements with regard to the practical steps to be taken to another American or an Anglo-Americao Com-place China's currency on a gold basis. pany, but any alienation to a company the preponderating influence upon which was not and vaid.

The lines on which it is sought to bring about an amelioration of existing conditions are, as expressed by Sir Robert Hart, such as will ensure an uniform exchange between gold and silver,, eliminating all danger of uncertain fluctuation while permitting China to retain a silver currency, and the American Commission consider that in starting the new system, the wiser, and in the end the easier plan, would be gold basis, and from the beginning to maintain to introduce new coins, silver and copper, on a
The matter was put through on a fair and square deal on the side of the Chinese and the Government and it is hardly consonant with the usual American ideas of just dealing to obtain a railway franchise on a distinct under standing and manipulate it on another. The preponderating American control in shares and in personnel has disappeared not to be replaced by the other section of the Anglo-Saxon race, but by the very people the Chinese did not desire to have any interest in the southern trunk line..

OVER THE BORDER.
AN INCIDENT NEAR THE NEW TERRITORY,
The village of Sham Chun is some ten miles over the border near the station of Sbeungshui in British Territory. A week or so ago the Shanti, named Kum Tak, who is an official in charge of the Chinese braves; was called upon to arrest a Chinese woman on the charge of kidnapping two girls. He succeeded in execut. ing the warrant and held his captive for several days to enable sufficient evidence to be obtained against her. Meanwhile the woman became ill and as the sickness, grew he liberated the prisoner, with the result that the complainant 'protested against such a course and had her re-arrested. The gama evening she died and

To the question, "How may this gold reserve be accumulated?” the commission answer :-(1) That on silver coins, substantial. ly equal in value to the Japanese yen, at the p: sent price of silver there would be a profit from seigniorage of some 8 to 12 per cent,, and that the profit as minor subsidiary coins would
Not only has this transfer to Belgian control been a betrayal of good faith towards China, but it is a betrayal of the good name and prestige of America throughout the whole Chi- nese Empire just at a time when the name of America was a key to the commercial develop - ment of the Chinese Empire.

· PUNJOM, MINING COMPANY.
Writing from Fahang, the correspondent of the Straits Times says:-A lot of the Punjom Company's gear has been sold by Mr. Hughes, the liquidator, some of it having been bought by different Government departments.
Mr. R. Tillinather, a dresser in the employ of the Pusjom Company, recently died in the Lipis hospital. Before his death, he instituted a civil suit against the Company alleging that his services were dispensed with without notice, and claiming a month's pay. The case was nat defended, and judgment went by default for $75 and costs in favour of the plaintiff, who shortly afterwards died. The administrator of the deceased's estate was about to obtain execution against the Company's property at Panggong, when Mr. Hughes arrived from Hongkong and ludged an appeal against the decision of the lower court.
