Marquis Ito replying, said that the reforms in Japan were due mainly to the devotion of the Mikado, and the patriotism of the people. He expressed profound satisfaction at the cordial relations existing between England and Japan. He believed the focus of inter- national commercial competition was moving towards the Pacific, and hoped that Japan would largely share therein..
NOTES AND COMMENTS. Russia and the Boxer Movement.
Russia has long been known by all who take an intelligent interest in Far Eastern affairs to work a great deal below the surface, and therefore one can hardly be surprised at the serious revelations made by the Paris Correspondent of the Times and now com- municated by Reuter. Still, it comes as a decided shock to find that one of the great

hundred Boers, including Commandant Erasmus.
Russia has made up her mind to gradually absorb China f she can manage it, the whole of Asia ell, and to accomplish this end she will allow nothing to stand in her way. A Power which is capable of allowing such a disgraceful and inhuman massacre as that which took place at Blago vostckensk to pass without the perpetrators being brought to justice is fully equal to such a crime against humanity as that now charged against Russia by Doctor ULAR. How long will it be we wonder, before the rest of Europe understands that Russia is not to be relied upon, that her promises are only kept so long as convenient to herself, and that. her treaties are made to be broken whenever she thinks it to do so?

The only Power which really has a Far policy is summed up in the first sentence of Eastern policy at all is Russia, and that the preceding paragraph. Once her purpose is accomplished the absorbed territory will be closed against the rest of the world. Foreign trade will be driven away by pro hibitive tariffs and the country will be closed to foreign enterprise.

BISHOP WELLDON, D.D., themselves, but international jealousies are has been appointed a Canon of Westminster so rife, and the other Powers are so un- decided as to the stand they intend to make in the Far East that it looks as though Russia will walk off with the cake while the rest are deciding the question of its division, America, Great Britain and Japan are sup posed to be undesirous of territorial aggran. disement so far as China is concerned. All that they require, so it is said, is the main tenance of the open door and free trade facilities throughout the whole of the Chinese that an agreement cannot be arrivedat beween these three Powers to maintain the integrity of China and to prevent the absorption of Chinese territory by any other Power or Powers P. Matters are very unsettled at the present time, it is true, but we believe that if sufficient guarantee were given the pro- gressive Viceroys, who did such good work during the Boxer outbreak, would throw in their lot with the coalition and, the Emperor. being rescued from the clutches of the notoriously anti-foreign Empress Dowager, China would at last dwake from her long sleep and commence to move along the path of progress.
