The opium war with Great Britain had re- sulted in the ties being imposed on China, which allowed foreigners to live in certain parts adjacent to cities, The great evil of the fixed tariff, 5 per cent. flat on all classes of goods, which, the speaker felt, the Chinesé had good reason to resent, This had been what Bishop White called "the sheet anchor of the Chinese na- tion," but the revision of those treaties wes long overdue, It was not generally known, but the foreign nations controlled " the great salt mines, the postal ser- vice and even certain railways were under western administration, These were undoubtedly infringe- ments upon the sovereign rights of the nation, and very materjally helped the eause of nationalism, Breaking With Russia The students in China, who were being influenced by western cus- toms and education, bad heen the first to be aroused by these condi- tions, Outside influence, how- ever, had been the cause of action, The excesses in China had been in- spired by Russia, whose propa- gandists and advisers had aroused them against the wrongs and fan- cied wrongs of their nation, BSun- Yet-Sen, heading the Chinese Nar tionals, had turned to the other nations for moral support, but had been unable to obtain it, and ap- pealed 'to Russia, which had re- sponded with arms and leader- ship. Thus Russia established their foothold, The present situation was more cheerful, declared Bishop White, the latest reports evidencing that the Chinese were now apprecia- ting the efforts of the British, in saving many Chinese lives as well as those of British subjects. Rus- sia was at last being revealed in her true colours, and their at- tempts to destroy records and doe- uments did not avail them any- thing. The raid in London, snd the subsequent bresk with Russia by Britain, had their share in de- termining the "present attitude of the Chinese towards their erst- while adviser. Consolidation snd reconstruction were now about to begin, and the unification of Chins seemed @pgain imminent, was the opinion expressed by the Bishop.

The vessel en- countered continuous storms, ac- companied with heayy gales and exceptionally rough seas all the way from the Isle of Wight. The ship sustained considerable dam- age, particularly to the large music room, was the oldest part of China, and Bishop White told of the close re- lation between an old form of King-Priest worship there, and the reference in the Bible to the King- Priest, Melchizedek. To give an example of the un- swerving character of the Chinese, the Bishop told how the Jew had gradually been absorbed in China, although that had happened in mo other country. The Manchus and the Mongols had both conquered the Chinese, but in time, had also been absorbed by them. "The mew spirit in China might make them the gr t nation on earth," satd es went across the and from them came the Eskimos, the original Mexicans . and the North American Indian.

Many of them correspond ancient articles found in M - tamia. Hongn, the Bishop's province, Bishop White. He advised Cana- dians to endeavor to obtain an un- derstanding of them, which would prove extremely valuable when Chi- na became the greatest market fin the world and which in time also might make it one of the great in- dustrial nations. ¢ A vote of thanks was express- ed to Bishop White by Rotarian George Hart, who had heard him speak on three different occasions, {and the pleasure of the Club was | latter also expressed by President Alex Storfe.

Found i in Universal Apartm ent of leaners in {Unconscious Condition Frank Owles, P Proprietor of the Cleaning and Pressing Firm, Near Death When Discovered in Chair -- Awakens in Hospital -- Harold Redick, an Errand | Boy, Found on Floor BOTH HAVE RECOVERED Are Found By Clerk from Cannings' Store -- Arti ficial Respiration is Suc- cessful -- Fumes from Tailor's Press Responsible Near death from gas poisoning, Frank Owles, 12% King street west, and Harold Redick, Kendal aventfe, were rescued when Owles was 1n a dying condition Saturday evening, through prompt efforts of doctors and members of the fire department, who applied artificial respiration, The two were in the Universal Cleaners and Dyers De- partment at the King street ad- dress when the near-tragedy occur red, and their escape from death was, physicians say, by a very narrow margin, Owles, who is ahoug fifty years of age, is the proprietor of the Universal cleaners establishment, and Redick, a twelve-year-old youth, was assisting him by run- ning errands. Between five and six o'clock Saturday afternoon, Owles states, he noticed that something was wrong, but thought it was merely an attack of indiges- tion, Soon he saw that the boy was lylpg face down on the floor, but by that time he was so nearly overcome hirgelf that he conld not even make 1s way to the tele- phone and call for help. The last he remembered was sitting down in a chair, too exhausted to do more, then he heard nothing more until he awakened in the hospital.

Wilson responded, and the unconsicous pair were rushed ot the hospital. Redick soon re- vived, but Owles was found to be in a dying condition, and artificial respiration was necessary before he regained consciousness. After spending Saturday night and Sunday morning in the hospi- tal, they were discharged, in time for Mr. Owles to take his accus- tomed place as one of the leaders in the tho! Street Mission, In which he takes a keen interest. Both are apparently none the | yore for their harrowing experi- nce, and are very thankful for their almost miraculous delivery. In speaking to The Oshawa Times this morning, Dr. Rundle made it very clear that the poison- ing was not due to a leak in the city gas pipes or "to escaping gas. The fumes were, he said, from a tailor's press in use in the room, and the near-tragedy was due to improper ventilation, there being not sufficient means for the fumes to escape into the outside air, DROP CHARGES OF FALSE PRETENSES Court Unable to Prove That Charles Blair Knew Goods Were Stolen When no evidence. § was offered by : the crown against s Blair in police court this morning on the cases being called, the two charges, or receiving stolen goods and obtain- ing money by false pretenses, were withdrawn.
