GREAT BRITAIN AND CHINA.

in

It is pleasing to note that Great Britein’s triumph in the negotiations anent China has been recognized by the more reputable portion of the press of the United States. Russia, Germany sud France were acting tegether towards the partition of China. Bat their proceedings were and thir combination practically smashed by the announcement that Great Britain woull not permit interference with her treaty rights in China, and was prepared to fight for open ports ia the Celestial Empire. The New York Journal of Commerce comments in a just and friendly epirit upon this great feat

of British diplomacy, and says :

“The tripartite alliance proceeded on the assumption that nobody else than themselves had any rights in wheat they chose to sppropriale of China or its commerce, aad apparently not caring who else mig'it dispute that assumption. It is not neces*ary to recite how England, by her diplomacy, her protests, her open display of aval force and her co -uperation with Japan, challenged this sassumptious attitude. She appeared to the world’s conscience by openly proclaiming that the trade of China must be equally free to all nations, that no exclusive privileges shall be granted to iny power, and that ber whole power stood pledged to the enforcement of that policy. Whether from tear of Eng)sod’s power or out of regard forthe world-wide sympa~ thy which her policy has evoked, the tripartite powers have now changed frowt and seems to be in a position of virtual dis- bandmest. Russia has employ- ed her utmost resoarces of diplomatic persuasion and threat at Pekin; but she has been beaten at every point. The loan has gone to Ecgland and immeasurab y valuable common privilegea aloug with it. The administration of the Imperial customs, which Russia had insisted upon controlling, are to continue under the direction of Great Britain. The internal highways of China are to be opened, from next June, to the steamers of all nations, and foreigners will be equally allowed to employ steamers or steam launches, whether owned bythem or by Chinese. Also, Engiaad has secured an engagement that the territory in the region of the Yang Sse River, which estimated to contain three-fourths of the richest lands and of the best population of China, eball never be mortgaged, leased or ceded to any power, while two other ports, inclu- ding Hunan, are to be opened to free commerce within the next two years, These are stupendous achievements. It is safe to eay that history presents no in- stance of a commercia’ treaty atall com- parable with this in its beneficent bearings upon the welfare of manukiad. It is, at the same tine, a magnificent demonstration of the power of a nation which prefers free markets the world over to selfish mono- polies. It is not the power of England’s tieet, great as that may be, which has won this stupesdous diplomatic victory; it is the power of the principe for which she has so boldly pronounced.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

— Conservative stock is going up. —Landslide—io Ontari> yesterday,

—It is taken asa good sign that the jewellry business, the first to feel the hard times, and the lastto recover from its effects, is reported to be in a better shape throughout Canada than the trade has known for ten years,

—Officers of the court of enquiry into the Maine disaster say positively that pothing is yet known as to the cause of the dieaster. “The stories put in circu- lation,” said Capt. Samp*on, “are very amusiog, but back truth.”

— Al! persons who desire to obtain 8 good idea of the preferential trade question, and the treachery of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in regard to it, had better read Senator Fer- guson’s speech as pu lished by Tae Ex- AMINER.

—The Patriot cannot deny the fact that $50,000 —and how much more money has pot yet appeared—have been borrowed under the Loans Act within the last two years, and that neither the addition to the Hospital for the Insane nor the new Prince of Wales College building has yet been built. The Province 18 so much deeper in debt and there is nothing to show for it. Yet the organ of the men who have so mapaged our finances has the hardihood to charge that Taz Examiver is rechleas.

—Jobe H. Parnell, member of Parlia-~ ment for South Meath, brother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, is a candidate for the post of city marshalof Dublin. He bas issued a circular from Avondale, in which he says: “The poverty and almest absolute want which my mother, my sisters and [ are facing, render it imperative for me to ask the corporation to entrust me with the duties of city marshel. Through the devotion ot my brother to the cause of Ireland, Avondale,the home of my family for generations, must go under the hammer.”

—In view of the widely published re- port that the harbor of Havana contains a system of submarine mines, a statement around which has centred the chief public interest in connection with the disaster to the battleship Maine, Senor Da Bosc, Spanish charge d’affaires at Washington, has made to the Associated Press the fol- lowing statement, which coming from authority may be considered as an official denial. “I wish to stete in my own official knowledge that no mine exists inside or outside of Havana harbor, nor is there avy submarine detence of any kind. The report iso absolutely false and ridiculous that it could only have originated in the minds of those persons anxious to incite the evil passions of both uations for their own miserable enda. 1 consider the very tuggestion of such athing an insult w Spain.”

DEATH OF iARCHBISHOP CLEARY.

(Toronto Globe.)

The death of Archbishop Cleary is the cessation from earthly activity of a powerfol and well-stored intellect. The general public knew bim mainly as a keen controversialist, accustomed to give and to receive hard blows. He carried on a fam- ous discussion with Mr. Meredith when that gentleman was leader ofthe Oppes- iuon, andtbere were several passages at arms between the Archbishop and the Globe, such battles as men may fight ins

free country without ill-will and without leaving ranking wounds behind. We have no reason torecall any of the

Opinions we exoressed, but it is fair to tay that in those acts which drew public atten tion tothe Arcibishop only one side of his character was revealed. ‘Those who knew ulm ivtimately describe him as a ripe Scholar, a kindly companicn and a sincere friend of education as well as of his church. We mortals can judge of isolated acts and words, but the judgment of Character aod motive, the weighing of the human heart in the balance, is a task

whicn few of us,without presumption, may |

undertake. ——_- + @« & —- NEWS NOTES,

A deputy mayor who testified in Zola’s behalf has been removed by the French Goverument. Col. Picquart, the con- demned mau’s chief military witness, is to be placed on a lieutenant’s half vay. A professor of the Po! vtechnic, who signed an endorsement of Zola’sa character, has been retired. A chaplain who con- gratulated him has been put on the un- attached list. The authorities will not even allow thata public servant could think Zola right and be honest,

General Sir Hugh Henry Gough, V. C., G.C. B., has been appointed keeper of the jewels in the Tower of London, vice General Sir Frederick Middleton, deceased. Sir Hugh is a man of some 65 years ef age, and has had a most distingaished military career, As the proud decoration, V.C. testifies be is a man of great valor, and an account of hia services abroad, bis gallan- try in the field, and the honors he has now would fill many a page. His appointment to the Tower of London is viewed generally with great satisfaction by the service at home. One prominent writer says: ‘To no braver soldier could the custody of the crown jewels have been entrusied.”

Sir Julian Pauncefote the British am- bassador, was introduced at a Washington reception last week to a Chicagogirl whose fiae color led him to,suppose she was English.

“Did you say she was English?” asked the genial ambassador of the lady who in- troduced them.

“No,” said the amiable young lady, “T am only av American girl. I eometimes wish I were an Engtish girl.”

“Don’t ever wish it, mv dear,”’’said the ambassador, “you don’t know how well off you are. You can go where you please without your parents being obliged to go too. The house you visit is a protection in itself. You don’t have to drag the old people about, and, oh, whata relief it is to the people,” said ii. ambassador to some other listeners.

SYMPATHY AT OTTAWA,

- nd, eens

A correspondent at Ottawa writes: “The funcral cortege containing allthat was mortal of the iate Stanislaus F. Perry, M. P., of P. E. Island, left the Bodiga Hotel, in Ottawa, at6.15 p.m., on Thursday, the 24th. The a'terdance at the funeral showed that the late Mr. Perry was held in high esteem. Not only were all the Senators and M.P’s., from {P. E. Island present, but also some of the Cabinet Miniaters including the Premier. The procession slowly wended its way to Canada Atlantic Railway Station. The body gues to P. E. Island for interment accompanied by a son of the deceased who had been an attendance on bis father during his last illness.

Thus passes away, full of y2ars, a public man who for a period of over forty vears was intimately connected not only with the affairs of his native Province, bat with those of his country generaJly. R.I.P. EI A

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

St. John Sun: “The Grand Trunk rail- way is making provision for deflecting stil] more of Canada’s trade to Portland, Maine. The roadbed between Toronto and Port~ land will be put in a condition so that 35 cars to a train Joad can be hauled through to destination without having to cut the train at Montreal. Ali the bridges between Portland and Vaudreuil are being greatly strengthened, and some of the heavy grades east of Montreal will be avoided by build ing around them. While this may some- what increase the mileage the amount of time saved by running over flat country will fully equalize the loss, as trains can then be rushed through much quicker than formerly.
