(To the Editor of the Hongkong Telegraph.)

The views which he or pressed do not really differ very much from thoes expressed by the above named gentlemen, the 100.00 thonght which inspires all three of them being essentially the same, though it is true that Dr. Mercier's method of expression shows an increase of thought and perhaps a alight de-

How- ever, when reading Dr. Mercier's letter, an idea occurred to me, Mr. Editor, which if carried into effect 6,788.44 by you would, I feel sure, bring upon your editorial head the blessing of a grateful posterity. Briefly the idea is this that you should induce

According to the correspondent to whom we have already referred, the attitude of the Consortium is being made perfectly clear. The money will be lent only if the Chiness agree that there shall be such a degree of foreign control as shall ensure that the money shall not be wasted. "And of course they will insist that there shall be no farther scope for Chinese obstruction to reform of the Salt Gabelle, the surplus revenue "of which will be the main security." It is fairly certain that Chins will not greatly relish this attitude of take it or leave it.
