THE GLAMOUR OF CHINA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE
"DAILY PRESS.' Shanghai, 2nd December. SIB, The Times in a leader comments se- verely on Bir Robert Hart's article in the Fort. nightly and attributes the views which he ox--- presses to the glamour which things Chinese appear to cast over the mind and imagination of all those whose lot or fate it is in life to be closely associated with that peculiar people. But it is not Sir Robert Hart alone who is affected in $725.50 this respect. Several of the members of the British Legation not only shared these views to some extent, but in a greater degree seemed to feel that the blame and responsibility for what appears to the ordinary outsider as ́a wanton and dastardly attack on the represen tatives of friendly Powers does not rest on the Chinese. "They (Tung Fuhsiang, &c.) did their duty according to their lights' not inaptly describes the attitude of some of the principal sufferers during the siege. The reason for this attitude need not be gone into here, nor if it were would any satisfactory con clusion be come to. It exists. And the reason why only adds one more feature to that most extraordinary of problems--the influence of Chinese civilisation (or uncivilisation) on the Occidental mind. It is not, however, in a mere abstract way that these ideas affect the problem confronting the Powers in China; they ap- pear to be carried into the very practical one of the forwarding of supplies for the use of the very troops now opposing us in the North. A concrete case is afforded by the Shanghai Arsenal, which gaily goes on manufacturing munitions of war of various kinds and sending them out, doubtless for the repressing of the rebels, but whether under that heading are classed the foreign troops command- ed by von Waldersee there is of course no means of knowing for certain. The man in the street would have no hesitation in saying that these were intended for the purpose of opposing the advance of the "foreign barbarians,” but then again in things Chinese the man in the street cannot be relied upon to form a proper opinion. What he cannot, perhaps will not, understand-so says the official mind-is that the Chinese have got to be conciliated. A French officer out shooting recently in the close vicinity of Shanghai was surrounded by villagers, his gun taken away, and his dignity, if not his person, severely damaged. He of course wished to make reprisals, but the French Con- sul here stepped in and gave him to understand that above all things the Chinese must be con- ciliated. In this particlar case it may or may not have been wise to have, settled the matter thus; the merits of the case were not gone into closely, and it is only quoted here to illustrate the provalence of the sentiment already referred to.

It is not unlikely that under these conditions it will emanate from the other side-Yours, oto.,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY PRESS.
Hongkong, 8th December, 1900. SIR,— An analysis of the voting on my motion for dealing with anopheles, the dis- cussion thereon, and the subsequent answer of the President anent presenting reports and ground plans of the infectious hospital now being erected at Kennedytown, are interesting as showing the undercurrent of official animus which invariably tends to thwart every sction of the Board which may not have the departa- mental imprimatur, to concentrate all effort
