November, ad valorem was fixed in a treaty .monts. with Great Britain, and it was at that time very advantageous to China. It was in the days of low tariffs all over the world and I understand that before the fixation of that tariff China did not even get 5 per cent, on her imports So both the British and the Chin- ese were entisfied with the 6 per cent.

Line of Least Resistance, Things have changed since then, It is reasonable that China should like to have tariff matters in her own hands. What I have been saying to the Chinese is that they ought to be taking the line of least resistance in every lunovation that they try to introduca here, and by taking a reasonable tariff for a beginning and giving security to trade and business that the tariff will not be changed for some time, That will satisfy both the Chinese treasury and the foreign mer- chants.

Mrs. Colbort was identified with the Tientsin "Ladies' Benevolent Scoicty, and helped many young women, particularly Russian girls, in getting a start in life. She devoted much time to giving free instruction to the worthy poor.

Mrs. Colbert leaves a sister in Tientsin, Mrs Maurice D'Alton.

In reply to a question Mr. Ou- dendyk stated that he was nego- tiating on those lines and hoped very soon to be able to put for ward a tangible treaty.

Extraterritorial Regime.

In reply to a further question Mr. Oudendyk said: The question of extraterritorial rights has been bouched upon, and here again, in theory we must admit that every country has a right to jurisdiction In its own territory. To my mind the great difculty lies in the fact that extraterritoriality has been running here for such a long time that lots of institutions, lots of conditions, have grown up under it that it would be cruel to change suddenly a regime which has im- proved and prospered, both to the advantage of the foreigners and to a great section of Chinese as well, and that, therefore the abolition of it is a matter of such great importance that can be done only

in stages. And it is for those Powers who have immense In- terests in this country to devise ways and means acceptable to the Chinese.

Mr. Ladow was a well known character in Shanghai and as initiator of the cabaret of to-day was called in as consultant to al- most every successor he had. He was approaching his G8th birth- day.

He came to the Settlement in 1998 and was for a time connect ed respectively with the old Metropole Hotel, the Astor House Hotel and the Majestic Hotel. It was while in the last connexion that he saw the need of a dancing place of entertainment and his first venture was the Alcazar on Avenue Haig, later he opened the Owl Grill on Kinngse Road, which combined a restaurant dancing hall, and once the idea caught on he moved to, wider fields in opening the original Carl- ton, the alte of the present Ladow's Tavern. That was eigh teen years ago and he ruled Shanghai's night life there for many years until his ambitione became even larger and he caused to be started the new Carlton on Bubbling Well Road.

That the question of the extra- territorial rights of the foreigners goes deep into the thoughts of the Chinese nation is proved by the f.ct that already more than 50 years ago Sir Robert Hart, who may be considered as the greatest foreigner who ever lived in China, pointed out the sting of the matter, and devised ways and means 'to come to a satisfactory mode of abolition, and it is only to be re- gretted that half a contury ago his vice was not followed. I have just again been reading his book, These From the Land of Sinim," and have been struck by the clear-pirations.
