HONGKONG, SATURDAY, January 27, 1906,

THE BISHOP ELOQUENT If the Bishop of Hongkong reserved for his diocese some of those highly entertaining and useful cuntments on Chinese life and chamcteristics with which he regales English audiences, it is certain that there would never be any lack of interest in his discourses. The exhilirating air of England rejuvenates the Bishop, with the natural result that there is what may be described as a stately and dignified abandou in his remarks to home

audiences. It should be remembered that

the good people of England, who have never 'left their homes and whose wildest enjoy. ment has been a trip to Blackpool, have curious and amazing conceptions of the Far East and of the Chinese It has been dinred into their ears since they first took at interest in missionary affairs that the Cheese are an immoral, treacherous, thank less and inferior 'race..

in which the American, people are foolish, it is their fear of the incoming Chinese. You! can handle them a great deal more easily than has been supposed. The Chinese are not coming to this country in such quanti ties as you suppose. There are many countries more hospitable to them than the United States; and all the rest of the world, except America and Australia, receive the Chinese as Christian people ought to receive strangers; but the Americans, unlike us Orientals, do not wish to see the nigger* and the Chinaman alongside of the people of their own race; and they show thereby only their want of manly courage and Christian but the Bishop of Hongkong advances love." The American Bishop states facis,

his acute observations.

Tik State Department at Washington has just determined to enforce the rule that no consu tar officer shall be appointed unless he can pass an examination in the language of the country to which he may be sent. If that rule applies to officials appointed to Siam, China, Korea and a few other places in this part of the

British and American competitors; they hold by a bargain and suffer loss ratlier thau repudiate an undertaking. That is com mon knowledge, and need not be emphasis. ed. Surely, the Chinese men of business are not to be calumniated or described as "yellow perils, because they happen to be as astute as their rivals. Evidently the Bishop of Hongkong is uneasy because the Chisele are not so inert as might be desired: they refuse to remain helots. A Chinese cuole to-day is the millionaire of to-morrow; and the Straits, particularly the tatur, are full of men who have become weakly entirely owing to their own frugality and exertion. And the British Government delights to honour these men; and seeks the advice on every possible occa sion. The Bishop of Hongkong is, however, not quite happy at the trend of affairs. UNDER the Merchant Shipping Act, at Gates Ching is awakening; she is beginning to head, Mr. Blavelock Wilson, Liberal and La- clain what the Bishop speaks of as "rights bour candidate for Middlesborough, was charg that were now demanded by foreign nations | ed with having persuaded Chinese sexmen to of be." The thing is preposterous. Oc- casionally the Bishop is strangely enigmatic He told the London week-day worshippers that: "Much as, he loved the Chinese, he thought that, a rush abroad of a large num ber of them to Australia and Canada would be bad for those countries, as the emigrants would take with them their un-Christian habi If, however, China became Chris. tianted, such an emigration need not be feared.
