IN an article on the reception by the Emperor and Dowager-Empress of the German Legation In Peking and several officers of the German detachment of marines which has now left the Chinese capital, the North German Gazelle remarks that the vigorous measures taken by the German military authorities in Shantung, so far from displeasing the Chinese Govern ment, have find a most excellent effect both an the authorities and on the people. The Chinese Government was induced to take energetic measures to protect missionaries in the interior of the province and put an end to the delays it had opposed to the Anglo-German railway concession, The Chinese people, on the other hand, it is hoped, will have been taught to accustom themselves to the presence of Eure peans in the interior.
