we are still obliged to call, in liea of something better, the Chinese Government. At the time of the Whasang massacre, wo said that unless Lord Salisbury's action was prompt and severe, nu adequate re- dress could be obtained.

There is a positive danger in allowing the settlement of these matters to drag over many years. A good illustration of this has bean brought our notice in Dr Greig's case is Kirio. Ja 1891 this gentlemen was brutally aaraulted by Mancha soldiers attached
