From the Liberal sections of the Home press are constantly hearing that no Chinese seems yet to have arisen who is capable of aiding the situation; but no one either at Home or out here, seems to consider the possibility of a foreigner arising who might change the situation, although, be it noted, the Liberal press is very anxious to give to British communities settled in the Dominions those rights of self-government that the same Press secins anxious to deny to British and the other foreign communities in China
