1t would be interesting, though not un-
precedented if side issue like the opium tax
in India should prove to be the rock ON which
the Salisbury Government should split. There
has been decided advance in English public
opinion since the days when England went TO

siderable Importance from the declaration that
it will ignore the vote in the Commons. If the
Government refuses to recognize the authority
of the House, on which it depends for exist
ence, it may produce a very pretty row.

frankincense was one of fogs and dark

were compelled to collect the gum from

various brilliant colors, which could on

China as a Menace.

The American colony of Annoy, China
celebrated the Fourth of July with lots
of qunpowder and banquet given by
the United States Consul, Edward
Bedloe, at the consulate. A private
letter from Annoy reached New York
Yesterday and gave an extract from the
speech delivered on that occasion by
Tsin Chin Chung, the Governor of the
province. Tsin Chin Chung's speech
was a remarkable one in many ways,
and it attracted attention in the foreign
colony of Annoy as indicating the esti-
mate of clever man of Chlna's relation
to the rest of the world. Tsin Chin
Chung was called upon to respond to
the toast "The Emperor of China" In
part he said:
at is difficult for European to ap-
preciate the breadth and depth of the
meaning of this coast to the Chinese
mind. It includes the family, language,
