it cannot be thought that the latter's chances of C'
success are very bright. New loans from abroid are believed to be inevitable in the near future, if only to prevent various public works, such for "eximple" as the Ankui railways,” from being brought to a standstill. Yet while the Govern ment adheres to its view that no foreign loans are to be raised without its own sauction, the provinces remain equally determined to admit the operation of no loan which involves control by Peking. The situation is not helped by the apparent confusión prevailing in the Palace. How far it is accurate to say that the death of the late Empress-Dowager has, removed the sole force that was able to preserve a balanca; even though one-sided, between contend. ing factions, it is, perhaps, impossible for the outside world to estimate. But the constant impeachments of one official and another, among whom the best and the worst are almos!" equally involved, do not convey much sense of of security, and are very little calculated to persuade the provinciale to surrender their re -venues-to-the-inspection and absorption-of-the-
capital.
What in these circumstances, will become of Tang Shao-pi's telegrams, what of the long-che ribed project of naval reconstruction, are quest tions which admit of but ope answer. It would be tidiculoes to suppose that 'China has not. wealth enough in her natural resources.for. these and all possible schemer of reorganiza tion that are required to bring her into line with the great Powers. But without the aid of an efficient economic system and an uncorfup), civil service, in other words without radical alteration of the whole body of the nation, the problem of tapping those resources may be deemed well-nigh insoluble Thoro is i evitable pathos in the reflection that those who' see most clearly the weakness of China's con- "dition are themselves, directly or indirectly, Tesponsible for, it; and it is easy to under stand with what bitterness the antion at large may reflect that its
