Under the modern system OF corpor-

mark the nationality OF the real own

SCI: and the cargo may belong to In
dividuals of ct a different nationali-
ty. Much American capital Is now in
vested IN foreign ships: and among
I foreign nations II often happens that
the capital OF one Is largely invested
In the shipping of another. Further
more. as a practical matter, II may
be mentioned that while commerce

great annoyance. II can never he more
than a subsidiary factor in bringing

Relations With Turkey.
Early in July. having received in
telligence. which happily turned out
to be erroneous. of the assass nation
of our vice consul at Beirut, | dis
patched small squadron TO that port
for such service as might be found
necessary on arrival Although the
attempt on the life OF our vice consul
had not been successful, yet the out
rage was symptomatic OF state OF
excitement and disorder which de-
manded immediate attention. The ar
rival of the vessels had the happiest
result A feeling OF security at once
took the place OF the former alarm
and disquiet; our officers were cor
daily welcomed by the consular body
and the leading merchants, and ordin-
airy business resumed its activity. The
government Of the Sultan gave .
considerate nearing to the represent
atoms OF our minister; the Official
who was regarded as responsible for
the disturbed condition OF affairs was
removed. Our relations with the
Turkish government remain friendly;
our claims founded on lneQuitabls
treatment OF some OF our schools and
missions appear to be In process OF
amicable adjustment.
Relations With China.
The signing Of new commercial
treaty with China. which took place at
Shanghai on the Sth OF October, Is a
J cause for satisfaction. This act, the
result OF long discussion and negoua-
ton, places our empire on a more
satisfactory footing than they have
ever heretofore enjoyed. II provides
not only for the ordinary rights and
privileges OF diplomatic and consular
i officers. but also for an important
, extension Of our commerce by In
r creased facility OF access TO Chinese
! ports and for the relief OF trade by
. the removal Of some OF the obstacles
which have embarrassed II In the
