the part of Yuan and his party which was, or was supposed to be, iuimical to the govern- ment. On the other hand, the almost univer- sal rumour amongst the Chinese populace is that he is being repaid for the part the took in the coup d'élas of 1898. We should be sorry to endorse unreservedly silber, of these opinions, but so far there is absolutely naibing to show that Yusa's re moval is owing to any reversal of policy orany reactionary disposition on the part of the Prince Regent. It has no doubt been Yuan Shih-kai's 10le to play the part of reformer, and his worst enemies must admit that since 1poo he bas played it well; but the dispassionate observer cannot forget that in 1898 he took sides against reform, and by bir perfidious conduct towards his Emperor, brought to the front the party that humiliated Kuang Hati, banished Kang Ya-wei apd brought to the block six of China's noblest young reformen. There are those who say that but for Yuan Shih-kaied there would have been no coup d'etat, and but no Boxer outbreak. The new reign bas secured for the coup d'dif there would have been the ascendancy of the reformers who were baf. fled in 1893, and it may well be that they can.

As anticipated, this was a very exciting race. Both boats got off well together at the start and raced almost level from start to finish; the Thistle just beating the Row by about 4 feet, covering the distance in7 minutes 9 seconds.

After the splendid rowing put up by Alves crew in the second heat, the Thielle was looked upon as the favourite in the final, although many were unaware of the capabilities of Limment's crew why were nevertroubled at all

There is an initial difficulty in determining 'with sufficient exactitude the population, and in the first heat. In view of the migratdży nature of the popula...) tion a five-yearly census is recommended. The quantities of opium or chandu are from the secretary for Chinese offain, or from the F.M.S import figures and may be taken as sufficiently
