not know who it was once made a remark about treaties. He described treaties as a convenient and light way of temporarily shelv ing immédiate difficulties. Well, I am inclined to suggest that our treaty of 19oz somewhat lends colour to the truth of the sarcasm, Sir Arthur Moore reminds me of an incident con. nected with real work in China, not connected with treaty work, but simply enterprise. Bir Arthur Moore, Sir Ernest Satow, Sir Pelham Warren, and myself were included in an invita tion given by the officials of the Shanghai-Nan. king Railway to be present at the celebration of the completion of the great' railway bridge over the Suchow Creek, near Quinsan. We arrived there, and we received the honour of being asked to drive the last rivels into the bridge. We did so, I do not think we showed any particular skill, but I remember that Sir Arthat Moore proved_himself_to_bo_the_best_ mechanic. Anyway, we got through the jub,THE Undersigned have received instructions and afterwards the foreman told us," Anyway. we have, gos a name for his bridge." I asked what it was, and he said. " Koightsbridge," and it li Knightsbridge to this day. You see how London carries its names right into the heart of Chipa, Mr. President, if I were to go into detail in mentioning our guests i should exceed the limits of time, and i'simply ask'ibem to accept our most incarn welcome. But may, i in conclusion, exproin our appreciation of the honour we have received in the representation of the press? we have many eminent represents lives of the press here to-night, and we like to make ou acknowledgment to the press, who have always opened their columns to us, and whose help, is of the greatest importance. 1 beg, gentlemen, to propose to health of our guests, coupled with the name of Lond Fitzmaurice.
