been established between China and British
Columbia, and San Francisco is alarmed lest
tho wbcie cf the valuable CbineBe trado of

England treats China with the earne respect
Kho accords ether foreign nations. This
country, on the contrary, treats her as an
inferior entitled to little or no respect. The
Chinese are peaceful people, but they are
licnuu, and are wise enough not to resent
?ba insults effsred them by this country with
