vast region, embracing what may be prop
erly designated Oriental countries, was a
little over II 900. The American ele-
ment was relatively small compared with
the trading and official representatives Of
the dominant Powers OF Europe. In
1880 there were 515 Americans in China
proper, representing "a firms; in 1882
there were only 40 Americans, repre-
senting 81 firms and since that period
their number has been steadily decreas-
ing. There are a few American mission
aries also
And whereas Chinese coolies have
oyerrun the Pacific Slope, numbering in
all about 175 900, and claim and exer-
else all the rights Of American citizens
except the right OF voting, without dis
charging any of the obligations of citi-
zenship, Americans in China are con-
fined to the Concessions in a few treaty
ports, and can only engage in the export
foreign trade Of the country. They have
no rights which a Chinaman is bound to
respect. This is practical illustration
OF what has been facetiOusly styled
"Irish reciprocity" being all on one
side; and it is about time the United
States Congress abrogated the treaties
with China, which confer special advan-
tages upon that country. This is among
the projects before Congress 1t should
be remembered in this connection also
that England peremptorily denied the
right OF China to appoint Consuls or Con
sular agents in any port of the British
Empire, because China did not recog-
nize the laws of international comfy.

Among the through passengers by the
Zealandia was Mr. G. Hezlet of Sgd
ney. This gentleman arrived in Homo
lulu in April, 1850, on the ship Harmony
from Sydney. He was on his way to
San Francisco, being attracted by the
gold craze. Instead of going to the dig
gings, he went to Sacramento, and in
1852 left there for Honolulu. He arrived
in March, and was present at the first re-
view Of native troops ever held on the
Islands. After stay of fourteen days,
he left for Sydney. Mr.. Hezlet has re-

ArrivaIor tine ZeaIandia.

The steamship Zealandia arrived in

morning, fifteen days from Sydney. She
brought no passengers for this port, but
had about fifty in transit for San Fran
cisco. The first intimation that Captain
Weber had of the sale of his steamer
was when the pilot boarded her. With
the exception of one or two days, the
trip from Sydney was a pleasant one.

CANADA AND THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL
SERVICE.

We find the following in a late issue
of the Sydney Morning Herald" 1t is
not without interest of a special kind for
people in this Kingdom:
Sir John Robertson has received the fol-
lowing telegraph from Sir John Macdonald,
Premier of Canada: Canadian Govern
ment desires conference with Governments
OF New South Wales and New Zealand on
establishment of mail line between the
three countries, ending in British Column
bIa, without tranShlpment, before final ar
rangement for line to San Francisco Sub
ject might be discussed by our respective
London agents, or otherwise, as arranged. -
Sir John Robertson was Premier of
New South Wales a few weeks ago, and
at present occupies second place in the
new coalition ministry formed by Sir
Patrick Jennings, as reported in our Aus
tstlian news to-day. There is very little
danger to be apprehended from this
quarter fol the present, however. New
Zealand is committed to the San Fran
cisco mail route. The contractor is the
Union Steamship Company of New Zea-
land, the Oceanic Company beinga part
ner with it; and it is not at all likely
that the New Zealand Government
would go back upon its own commercial
interests. The New South Wales Gov
eminent is not in a financial condition to
launch out into any new or costly enter
prise, and if it can secure a continuance
of the present service even with an adj
vance on the stipulated payment, now
that the Zealandia aud Australia have
been sold, we shall hear nothing more of
q direct mail line An Australian ALI
ance with Canada in trans-Pacific
mail service, via Burrard's Inlet, is a
thing of the future.

TMARU is built near an open road stead
on the east coast of New Zealand, at
which the Colonial Government has ex-
pended a very considerable amount to
construct breakwater. 1t is still very
risky port, and several shipwrecks have
been credited to it. But the local au-
thorities mean to make it safe port, at
which the large wheat surplus of the dis
trict may be shipped without mourning
the cost of railroad transportation to
Port Lyttelton. Accordingly a ) per
cent harbor loan for 100000 $500, OO0)
has been invited in London, the mini
mum being fixed at e102 Tenders were
to be opened on March LIST. Judging
from the success of similar local loans in
London, we anticipate that Timaru will
also get the money on even better terms
than the foregoing This is another ex-
ample of progressive borrowing"
