ANCLO-SAxON CITY.


Shanghai Under Control or British and
American Governments.
Shanghai. the Chinese seaport con-
trolled by Great Britain, is the busiest
and wickedest city in the flowery king
dom, If not in the world. 1t is the
largest foreign settlement in the far
east, with 2,002 British, 3S1 French, 357
American. and 2052 of other white
nationalities. In the British settle
ment, on the river front. are magnif1-
cent public gardens, and adjoining
them is great park in which stands
the fine British consulate. The British
and American concessions, lying side
by side, are now one International set
Element, under the municipal control Of
a board of foreign consuls; but the
French colony, with its 3Sl inhabi-
tants, will have none of the hated An
glo-Saxon. and has its rues and its
quais. and at its street corners the
well-known features of street corner
in the Quarter Latin. Yet its streets
are thronged by motley crowd of
Chinese, since 1t directly adjoins the
Chinese quarter. All three foreign
concessions were originally intended
for exclusive foreign residence, but the
Chinese who fled there during the Tai
ping riots discovered the advantage of
foreign rule and have now invaded
every part of the settlement to the
number OF 295,0OO. They appreciated
the immunity from mandarin extor-
ton, and also being amenable to
mixed court for their offenses. But
the more material hygienlc advantage,
of civilization do not appeal to them,
and as one charming authoress so apt
ly puts it, they swarm and hive in
the houses. overflow the doors and
windows. and are Chinese to the last
word" Shanghai is the refuge and
headquarters for all the Chinese pro
gressives and reformers.
