But when we come to rail- way and whing enterprise and the reorganisation of the Chiness Army and Navy and Civil Service, there must of recessity be spheres of influence, aud the Power that refuses to recognise the fact insure the risk of being left without a sphere at all. It has been suggested that Greas Britaip should call a Conference of the Powers to persiade them to leave China alone for ten years, jointly giving the Em peror such assistance as he may need to eternal order, and allowing Chma tu select for herself fucoignoza to reorganise hor army navy, finances, public works, &c. What sort of a selection would China make under such circumstances? If her choice were really and unfettered she would fall prey to disreputable schemare and plotters who were ready to make promises and hold out inducements which they bad neither the intention nor ability to fulfil, It would be like a crea of sending out a shild of tender years with money to buy a new auit of sicthes for himself and letting him fall into the hands of the second hand dealer.
