city he took apartments at the Palace
but as soon as he became established
there he moved to another but none the
less luxurious environment. Three hours
day he would exhibit himself in the
Palace court, appareled in multi-colored
clothes of the most perfect fit. His only
seeming occupation was the consumption
of ornate and highly scented cigarettes

NEW YORK, May 14.-Lord Charles
Beresfords new book, The Breakup
of China" Just issued, marks new
epoch in the much-discussed question
of trade in the far East, because for
the first time the people of the United
States have set before them calm,
straightforward statement of the stu
alton IN the East to-day, of the diff
culties that beset the foreign merchant
in China. and of the close connection
that exists there between diplomatic
and political affairs.
Lord Beresford visited the principal
cities along the Chinese coast. After
making inquiries, receiving opinions
and talking with British, American and
German merchants in the different
cities. he is of the opinion that unless
the policy of The Open Door" is en-
forced in China in the near future. it is
more than probable that the Chinese
Empire will be completely broken up
and partitioned among the European
mowers. The sphere f-influence"
method of partitioning China is, in his
opinion, dangerous, since it constantly
causes international complications
which disturb trade To-day France,
Germany and Russia are all in posses
sion of certain portions of the Chlnese
Empire, each of which portion is under
what is called the influence" of its
government-that is, trade with that
particular territory is limited to
Frenchmen, Germans or Russians as
the case may be. If this policy is en-
larged, there are many difficulties like
ly to follow, not the least of which Will
be strained relations between the Eu-
ropean powers, not only in regard to
commerce and trade but in the matters
of boundaries and of government. On
the other hand if the integrity of the
Chinese Empire IS maintained, and the
entire country thrown open to the trade
0f all nations, the resources of China
are likely TO benefit the whole world.
The authors recommendation is that
some method be adopted by which the
Chinese army shall be organized under
one head. drilled and trained by Euro
pean officers and fitted to maintain or
der and protect personal property and
life. whether of foreigners or natives.
within the empire, and that the mer-
chants of any or all nations be allowed
equal rights TO carry on commerce and
trade with all others as in the civilized
countries of the earth. He sees less
need for the increase and training of
the navy, as the difficulties and hind
RANGES to commerce in China to-day are
internal rather than external. These
hindrances are classified by the reports
received from Chinese officials and for
eign residents under the general heads
OF antiquated Chinese systems OF du
ties and tolls eXacted on all the rivers
running from one province TO another
and along the coast the extraordinary
amount of piracy which fiourishes on
all the waterways; the difficulty of re-
.ceivIng fair treatment at the hands of
the Chinese Inhabitants. who distrust
any plans for increasing trade. and the
political complications arising from the
control of special territories by Euro
pean powers
