Had China been com pelled to take a side-either one way or the other-wide-spread complications must inevitably have arisen; and there can be no doubt that every attempt was made by Russin to force the Chinese into what would have been a cardinal mistake on their part and would have worked admirably into the bands of that nation. The position of the Chinese was by no means an enviable one, and it must have required an unusual amount of tact and firniness on the part of the Central authorities to prevent some ́hasty act on the part of one or other of the local oficials which might have dragged the Empire into hostilities. The difficulty was from the first apparent to all acquainted with the peculiar relations between the Imperial and Provincial authorities, and the trouble which the former have at all times to restrain outbursts of popular feeling.
