INTELLIGENCE was received horo some timements of the two Kwang and the prospects=" ago of Russia'a detuand for the dismissal of of railways in South China, the British officials in the Chinese railway service and of the Gorman military instrue. tors; but the conditions under which this demand was made has not yet buon given in detail. We now learn from the north that Russia intoride to press for the dismissal of all foreign officials who seem to stand in the way of her Raisionization of the Chines public service; and unless a very deter mined front is shown by the Britia, Go vernment it is only too probable that the Russian statesmen will succeed in their Machiavellian designs. The price Russia offers to pay for the dismissal of the British and German officials, together with the control of the Imperial Chinese Maritime Custonis and of the projected railways shroughout the Chinese Exupiro, is not a big one. It is simply a promise to finance and guarantee a sterling lan to pay off the balance of the indounity dun to Japan. This, in all conscience, is not bribe enough for the practical control of the revenue of an empire; and even if the Chinese bureaucrats, whone cupidity and greed are proverbial, were to agree to Russia's demanda, it is hardly to be expected that the other Powers, and especially Great Bri- tain, will stand aside and allow China to be coerced into auch a position.
