that foreign ladies have been recaised in the Paines at Peking and that they were convoyed through the grounds o electric tramway one is compelled to believe that the banda of the clock of progress move a little, even in the Chinese ospital. The conditions surrottading the reception appear to have been in every respoet satis factory, and the reports of the faaction that have appeared in the press lavo placed the Empress Dowager before the public in more favourable light than she has NEW THAR CARDS OF REFINED AND hitherto appeared in. If the reception was nucorded with that end in view it must be regarded as a clover stroke of policy.
