Mr. H. P. Wilkinson has finished his investigations here and has come out of his difficult ordeal as few men could have hoped todo. To say that everybody is satis fied would be equivalent to asserting that there are limits to human cupidity; bat T think that nearly every man who has gone before the Commissioner would acknowledge that, within the limits of the Rules, he has been treated with every consider tion, patience, and indulgence. The weekly paper has an appreciative article on the Commissioner, which does him but bare justice in its restrained eulogy. It is un-Werstood that Mr. Wilkinson now goes up the Yangtze to investigate the losses of the refugees from Central China.
