For our part, wo fail to see what shadow of justification exists for such an assertion. If YUAN has had to yield to Russian dictation in Mongolia, he certainly has not done it for the purpose of buying the favour and support of Russia. Mr. DRUMMOND, however, taking the opposite view, thinks this kind of policy It is invaluable for Cleaning Jewellery, is as bollow and useless as attempts Silver, Plated Ware, etc, eta

Dr. SUN YAT-, agrees as regards the possibility of Yvan reinstating the ex- EMPEROR and thinks he will, one of theso fine days, utilize the failure of Parliament to make much headway for which he alone is declared to be chiefly to blame-as an excuse for either closing it by force or for proclaiming himself Dictator or Emperor. That YEAN, under whose direction and personal supervision the Abdication Decree was drafted, contemplat. ed something of the kind is deemed by this Republican organ to be suffi ciently proved not only by the wording of the decree, but by his subsequent as well. The Ching Bepublican therefore concludes that there can be no gainsaying that YUAN has no desire to take his inspiration from the will of the people, and quotes Mr. DRUMMOND as stating that YUAN has recently asserted in conversation that "he bolde bis present position under the orders of the EMPEROR and recognizes no other authority," While agreeing with all that Mr. DRUMMOND has to say against YUAN,
