Thr North China H«ta1J prints a translation of thv wetnorlul sabmUted by Sir Robert Hart Inspector general of custom* In China, to the throne at Peking. Kven before this remarkable document, w hich proposes nothing leaa than the complete reorganisation of erery branch of the government of the Middle Kingdom, was publicly known It had been severely criticised by the viceroys to whom It had been sent for conakle ration. » Taking as his text the Russo-Japa-nese war and the necessary Implication of China In whatever conditions of peace may be «gre«l to. Sir Robert urges that It la absolutely neceaaary for the empire to be strengthened against Issue of the conflict Funds, be declare*, being the prime desideratum for any scheme of reform, he present* a detailed computation showing that a reorganisation of the land, taxes may be made to yield a revenue of 400.000.000 taels (about f275.000.0UO) a ^or without pressing severely on the population. With, this sum be suggests, in the first place, an Improvement and reconstruction of the land forces on the basis of four army corps, each camposed of 00.000 regular troops. Adding the cost of ammunition, the expense* of four military academies and the pay of two classes of reserves, be arrives at a total estimate under this heading of some 50.n«tW*M) taels. Koc the nary be contemplates the construction of three fleets, each composed of ten large and ten smaller warships, ten first class • torpedo boats' and ten smaller ones. The programme should, he thinks, be distributed over ten years and with the maintenance of three naval academies would involve an annual charge of 30.00u.000 taels. Four arsenals he puts down at 10,000,000 taels per annum. But these thoroughgoing projects of ISllltary and naval reorganization are not all. Sir Robert next proposes to overhaul the civil administration and calculates that every official can be paid a fixed salary, which will relieve hhn from the •‘neceoRlty of extorting money from the people under his Juris-' diction.” at an aggregate annual outlay of 100X100.000 taels. □e further advises that 10.000.000 taels be spent every year In establishing modern schools and 1,000,000 taels for the support of the postofflee. At present the telegraph service nheor’w 5X100.000 taels, and be conclndCs b!s budget with an Item of 10,000.000 taels for “palace expense*." In this way he gets a total state expenditure of 270,000,000 taels, which would leave a balance of 141.000,000 rr-Hs from the hypothetical land tax. ' This amount" he says, “may be placed In reserve to meet emergencies, or It may be used at various times upon important schemes which shall be beneficial to the empire and the masses."
