Varney, national secretary, y.JLC.A., for attending at (ho deputation, and the Y.M.C.A; lioard for the kindly interest they have taken in the matter of arranging the deputation. I have to thank those gentlemen who acted as my chairmen at the lectures, and ethers who have.so kindly written to mo letters testifying that not only was there no insult offered to the Chinese, but that the meetings could only tend' to draw out sympathy and help to -the Chinese nation.

To all these gentlemen I tender my heartiest thanks for their valuable help Mid testimony, which have enabled me to lay before the Acting-Prime Minister the facts, from which I doubt not he will be able to see that there was i.ot the slightest warrant for the Chinese Consul's action.
