It will be noted with satisfaction that the original number of Cadets for whom the International Cent: mittee tindertook to provide has been decreased by 165, some of them being sent away and others finding ployment here, Independently of the Cadets, 369 persons have able to leave Shanghai by moony entirely provided by the Committee, and 300 more left with some assis: trance from the same source. It will thus be seen that extremely useful work has been done, and it is to be hoped that, where so many obvious iMiculties exist, the Chinese aut thorities will in future refrain from making the work of the Committr still more embarrassing.
