The long-drawn-out game OF diplo-
macy between Great Britain and France
for territorial stakes and consequent
trade advantages in Southeastern ASIA
nj the expense of China, has ended III
Great Britain's laughing last, and laugh
ing best.
Some two years ago China made IN
her southeastern domains certain terri
torial concessions TO France, which II
WAS stated. were in violation of the
nrlo-Chinese understanding, and forth
with the Anglophobists proceeded 10
CONGRATULATE the French upon having
completely outwitted the British.
But it turns out that those in charge
of British affairs in that quarter were
by no means asleep. 1t Is now an
nounced that the British Government
has concluded with China frontier
trade treaty that compensates her many
fold for Chinese alleged bad faith. and
puts British interests far to the front.
Under this treaty, which has been rati-
fed. and which went into effect this
month. Great Britain is coded one OF
the Shan states. is given a perpetual
lease of another large area of territory
is allowed TO make important railroad
connections with the Burmese railroad
system. and is granted the right TO
establish between Burmah and China as
many trade routes as she may desire.
In short, the treaty enables Great Bri-
tain to command the commerce Of the
richest provinces of Southern China, and
affords facilities for developing that
commerce to enormous proportions
Moreover, II gives her certain coigns of
vantage strategically that more than
compensate for any gains France may
have made in that direction.
SO we say Great Britain laughs last
and laughs best. And it may be that
IL is a realization of this latter fact
that has inspired the charge by the
French that the British are behind the
renewed Franco-Samese troubles.

Fusion in Fairfax County.

A special from Houston. Halifax county,
says. To-day Monday, the beginning
of the June County Court, the Democratic
and Populist Executive committees met
and agreed upon terms of fusion upon
candidates for Senate and House OF Dele
gates and delegates to the gubernatorial
convention. This arrangement assures
three votes in the next General Assembly
for John w. Daniel for United States
senator The fusion provides for the par
tcipation OF the Popu.ists in the election
of delegates to the Roanoke convention,
regardless of the action of the Populist
State Convention, which makes HALIFAX
undoubtedly secure for the nominees OF
the Democratic convention. a county con-
vention 10 be held on July 18th. will elect
delegates to the Roanoke convention and
candidates for the State Senate and the
House of Delegates. William j. Jordan,
of South Boston. and William p. Banks
dale OF Houston, are spoken of as can
didates for. the State convention. and
both OF them favor the reelection Of
John w. Daniel. Halifax is about equal
ly divided between Tyler and Ellyson."

granting exemptions from taxation TO
new manufactures for limited periods;
and second. that the election OF CITY
Treasurer be so arranged that y special
election therefor will not be necessary
once in six years. However. these are
matters for the Legislature. not for the
Roanoke convention. All that we expect
the Roanoke convention to do In this
connection Is to pledge the party to give
prompt and earnest attention to the
popular demand for amendments TO our

ImpOrtnnt Letter from Col. Lamb.

fredericksburg Free Lance)
Under date of June "a, 1891 Colonel
William Lamb. chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee. writes the Free
Lance as follows, in reply to an in
quiry from this paper:
There seems to be a very general
desire on the part of Republicans TO
have a State convention, but what will
be the action of the State Committee
upon the subject l am not yet prepared
to state. SO far as j am concerned, |
will support no candidates in the fall
election who do not stand uneqnivocaliy
upon the st. Louis platform.
We deduce from the foregoing:
1. That Colonel Lamb favors the call
ing Of a Republican State convention
to name a straight-out Republican ticket
to be voted for this fall.
9 That under no circumstances will
Colonel Lamb support a Palmer and
Buckner gold Democratic ticket.
s. That Colonel Lamb is not a gold
man. but a believer in international hi
metallism.
