nover hitherto stood in the way of Russia's advance when her anibition for conquest stood in the way; and there is certainly no reason to suppose that Russia's conduct for the future will in any way, especially on a point of honour, differ from what it has been in the past. In this respect China cannot afford to throw a stone at Russia; the latter's presence in Manchurių was, indeed, brought about by China's own crooked policy of seeking to use Russia's ambition to treacherously get rid of her own engagements; and Russin, should she attempt to bring diplomatic pressure, is sure to throw this in her face. If, on the other hand, she seek by ill-timed diplomatic pressure to indues Japan to prematurely evacuate Manchuria, and thereby alienate her friendship, she will only have succeeded in removing the last guarantee she possesses for the eventual return to her own rule of the coveted territory.
