becoine apparent to the French Govern- ment that there was no ground for charging the Peking authorites with having deliberately planned the attack in defiance of the recontly concluded Tientein Trooty, And," further, the Government must soon have been in possession of information showing that not only were the first reports of the occurrence oxaggerated, but that their own officials had not been froo from blame.
What the Chinese in effect
said was there has been a mistake and misunderstanding: we have suffered as well as you; let us wipe it all out and begin at once at the Tientsin Treaty which we are ready now to fulfil, and
a eurest of that we have already given orders to withdraw the whole of our troops from Tonguin. Wo confess we fail to soo why the French Minis ters, asstiming that their object was simply the pacification of Tonquin, did not close with that offer. They were not materially in any worse position by the Langson attack. They had not suffered any particular. leas by that affair which would justify the demand for an indemnity. They had the moral right on their side, and they might bare held that in abeyance, without prejudice to their demand for satisfaction, pending the ratification of the definitive Treaty. If they should fail to got satisfactory terms they could always fall back on the Langson attack, but we are perfectly sure the Chinese would then, frightened, as they were with the indemnity claim banging over them, have been prepared to grant termas more favourable to trade and friendly intercourse than they have been since, or are likely to be for a long time By The delivery of the China Mail is co-rejecting the Chinese proposals, except
