The Commissioner asid—After payment of the expenses of the Commission, which will be as follows:—The Tle, 1,200; the A.szistent The W.-C. crat and S. C. & C. Gazette.
Commissioner, Tls. 500; the balance will be dealt with in some fitting manner after consultation with Peking. Someone hes said "There is more kindness and less honesty in the world than anyone: has a right to expect." After two experiences asa Claims Commissioner I am glad to say that I think there is more honesty than I expected. There is a great deal of loose talk and irresponsible criticism, however. Ihave been told that Mr. So-and-so's motor car! was a rattle-trap, that Mr. So-and-'so's hat cost less than $8 and that Mr. So-and-so's best watch was really a Waterbury. If these things are so it is the duty of those who know to ad-modish the claimants—in private.
