THE CHINESE CRISIS.
The Chinese Government has earried through the meeting of the | People's Convention with some res solution and much show of enthu- sinam. To that extent it may be said that the attempt to raise the banner of revolt just in time to seoteh the Convention has failed. As a matter of fact there is no sism that anything has been done at the Convention that had not al. ready been thoroughly worked out beforehand. it has automatically registered the decisions previously made by the Government after vuent opposition had been silenred | by the arrest of Mr. Ho Han-min. The consquepers of that arrest
be in a critical condition.
