A dispatch from Picking last night says:
Prof. jerks of Cornell University, the COM
missioner delegated by the United States to
confer with the Chinese authorities regard
ing the suggested introduction of the gold
standard in China, left Peking yesterday
to return to America. He has been in China
since January, and has been treated with
exceptional honor.
His mission has been purely educational
and non-political with untiring patience
Prof. jerks has been demonstrating to the
Chinese the necessity of reforming their
currency, and the immense gain that would
follow the establishment of the gold stand
ard. Undoubtedly the mission has made
an impression.
The Chinese government is beginning to
realize the vital Importance of the question.
1t is regrettable that Prof. jerks was COM

work only begun, for experience teaches
that between a Chinese expression of APP
prevail of a reform and it's actual introduce

According to a British statistician, the

clubs show that there are at present S79 of
them in England alone. The United States
comes second with 100, and Scotland is now
relegated to third place with $50. In Ire
land there are 1874, and in Wales 43. Can
