In our eagerness to pash'forward in China, the Chinese naturally enough see a desire to lay hold of some part of their. Empire.

And if he has, is be capable of successfully impressing the truth upon the Peking Govern. ment. A Franch paper, with that charming franknasu which ene now and then finds in the French press, told' Ll that all the nailons of Kuropu were waiting for an opportunity to each tako a part of China. Though we cannot admit this, it is incontestable that at least thres large nations of Europe will some day, when expansion of trade and ʼn market for their products becomes a vital question, give China the option of opening up the whole Empire and removing all obstacles to trade or else have it done in spile of Chinese procrastination ; bullding twenty miles of sallway a year, and talking from 1889 to now about the Hankow-Peking Ulav, as if the mere discussion was an enormous stride forward, will not satisfy the commercial aspirations of the various'nations; and Int China take heed, for they will not allow themselves to be baffled.
