   More recently the Bethlehem Steel Company, presumably with the indorsement of the Washington Government, offered to China, without demanding any security, an enormous sum for the construction of a dockyard at Mawei, near Foochow. This scheme, however, can not be easily effected, because Mawei is situated in a province where China, in virture of a treaty with Japan, has no liberty to grant a concession of this nature to any foreign Power.
