It marks an era in Chinese affairs, as it predicates an enlightenment which was generally supposed to belong to European statesmen. None will appreciate the views of the veturan Vice- roy more thoroughly than the Governor, and it is regrettable that His Excellency was un- able to attend a gathering at which one and all of his favourite schemes were supported and endorsed.

It is fortunate that our representative has been enabled to pro vide a lucid account of the proceedings, for they are unquestionably of supreme impor- tance to China as well as to Hongkong Most people regarded the new Viceroy as an effete lucifer, but none can read his pro- nouncements without feeling that he has not merely a grasp of the affairs of his Viceroyalty, but also a sincere intention to conquer diffi- culties.
