The transformation of Chiva is in the air, and the bistory of the past year is one of change visible to the most casual observer.

In 1842, in 1858 and 1860, in 1895, in 1893, and in 1300 she has yielded to armed force and has submitted to treaties imposed upon her, subject only to such modifications as could be secured by the skill of her diplomats. Time after time so Las acknowledged her powerlessuss to resist the military pressure brought to bear, but after each roverse the characteristic strength of the nation has brought recuperation and bus shown a power of resilience which can only be likened to that of gutts poreba not yet valcanized to inelasticity. For many years reform, as we understand it, has been urged upon her by her friends--and in the fifties and ities the whole world was her friend, if she would but have recognized it. She was warted that hey system of government, common enough in Europe two centuries age, could not endure in the friction of outside contact today, and she was urged to conform to ways adopted by the world at large within the past contury, bist which did not approve themselves to her own feaders.

dast; in 1995 the boycott against American goods" swept over the country like a wave of Aame.

BOYCOTT OF AMERICAN GOODS.

This boycott originated in Shanghai. whence no labourers go to the United States, and was as keenly prosocuted there as in Cantor, the bong of most of the actual emigrants; it spread thenes to all parts of the Empire except Tien tsin, where the Viceroy would hace neus of it. The initial steps were taken, as far as the world at large knows, by the Oficial Chamber of Commerce, and not by the mercantils guilds, which, indeed, were busied later on ia protecting their members, the bankers and

froma merchants, the disastrous effects of the movements This medieval country has learned, partially at least, to rocognize the modern truth that all nations are une in matters of trade, and that what injures one canuot benefit another. The lessen was driven home by the fact that the Chinese merchants had contracted for many monthe ahead for the products of the American mills, obligations it and were forced to meet their their finncial standing was to be maintained, the result boing that they and the banks Supporting them found themselves loaded with stocks for which the consuming markets had been seriously restricted. For in the mean. time the agitation had been taken up by the Young China party, the vernacular pross, and the thousands of students who had pas-d through the schools of the various missions, English or American, and, especially by those who bad acquired by a residence of a year or two in Japan that superficial knowledge which is so dangerous. From them it spread to the people at large, always ready to be infomed by what, for want of a better word, must be calledt an anti-forsign fealing. The commercial result of this extension of the boycott was a serious diminution in the actual com aption of American products, which, in importers' whole- sale lots, went on piling up in the warehouses of Shanghai and constituting a heavy burden on the Guancial resources of the native banks, These banks, already overburdened with the task of Guancing the indemnity payments, are in troubled waters, and it is feared that the Foar ond settlement, imperatively demanded of Chinese trade, will be a bad one-

POSSIBILITY OF OTHER BOYCOTTS,

It may be thought that a boycott against. another nation weed not attract the serious attention of the English readors of The Timer. This was the first feeling of British and German merchants in China, but farther reflection has brought other viewa, and it is directed against now recognized that a weapon one people for one canse may easily be directed against other peoples for other causes, howe trivial. This is in itself a revolution.

The passage of the Bogue was forced and the way opened for trade by the cannon of British wartlips; what weapon shall force a passage. through u boycott American and German followed peaceably in on the sound of British de the British and Germans hope that Fune in the long run they will gain the trade from which the American is excinded?

EFFECTS OF THE WAR.

The Russo-Japanese war has cost the two belligerents thousands of lives and millions of money. The tertium gaudens, on whose door. step the battle has been fought, has naturally also suffered loss in both respects, at not to the extent that might have been expected. The Chinese would make a profit out of dath itself, and when others are battling they are certain to be themselves rejoicing in their own im munity. The war has been financed by both vides largely through Chins, both by bilis on Chinese banks and by their own notes used for disbursements in the field of operations. Also
