The boldness of the step, upon which the Council had decided to bring this long-standing scandal to a head, is arcentuaisd by the fact that the Spanish Consuli General is now absent from Shanghai and thai lo his absence, the Austro-Hungarian Consul, who represents Spanish interests for the-time being, would scarcely feel justified, whatever bis private opinions on the subject, in granting the warrant, the refusal of which by

The community, it would be argued, had come to a defisite decision on the question, and the authorities were. thereby brought face to face with this anomaly, that ose insignificant member had chosen to an sume that he could defy the expressed opinion of the whole Settlement. That the course which the Council resolved to follow was ex- ceptional may be readily admitted, but the cir- cumstances of the case were-cestainly not less exceptional and the Councitors might not un- reasonably feel that they would have the moral support of the immesse majority of ratepayers in forcing to a crucial point a scandal which had 100 long been permitted to wax fat on apparent immunity.
