time it seemed as if Minister Conger had erred in his communication of those 'demands to his Gavernment. Now, however, it is apparent that his information was correct, and that it came from Chinese and not Rus- sian sources. This is made plainer by a recent Russian complaint that the demands were made as a secret.communication to the Peking Goverment, and that giving them to the American Minister was a breach of faith, Without stopping to discuss the right of Russia to accuse any other nation of bad faith, in view of the record she has made in this matter, her present attitude is of great interest to all the nations that are looking for fair play and an equal chance in Chinese trade. The officers of the Czar now require of China that in future secret negotiations of that kind she appoint two commissioners to be the custodians of the Russian confidential demands, and if these are betrayed by giving them to the representatives of other nations the commissioners will be

held personally responsible by Russia!

Going back to the diplomatic understanding that closed the incidents of the Boxer rebellion, according thereto all the nations represented in the delivery of the legations and the occupa tion of Peking were to stand on an equal

footing. The dates of their respective with drawals from Chinese territory were fixed, and the whole plan for the prior status of each toward China was worked out in detail. This under standing has been abided by every signa tory except Russia, and her troops are still in China in defiant and apparently per manent occupancy. The secret demand, the betrayal of which is now the subject of com plaint, was in effect that China recognize and endorse this violation of the compact by Russia. If it were so endorsed Clima would, of | UNDER THE DIRECTION OF course, violate her agreement with each of the other powers.

Of course secret treaties are not new in the history of nations. But when made the parties to them have been free to enter into them, have been exactly equal and have been at liberty to seek such fidential agreements because of the resulting advantage to both parties.

EDWARD NABLE not look upon her relations wit China as

(The Popular Comedian), existing between equals. She puts China in and a perfect Company of carefully selected the position of a vas-al over whom she has suzerain powers which make her the dictator of action. If her latest demand is made good it will mean that she will order China to make secret treaties ; unk; own to other prowers until the papers are signed and ratified, and cannot be affected by protesis. If none were concerned except Russia and China het suuia be no objection to this. Indeed, in such case there But would be no need of secret treaties at all. all the other commercial nations have a stake in treaties affecting the Chinese trade, and Japan considers that her very existence is in volved in the relations of Russia to China and Korea. Every nation has now the right to protest to China against entering upon any such understanding with Russia. They all want to know what any one of them is doing in China to grab territory, extend zones of in- fluence or monopolize trade. China has entered into treaties with many countries containing the most-favoured-nation clause, which is a bar to the concession of exclusive rights, either by

open or secret treaty.

We have a great stake in that trade, and with the rest of the world we have a great mora! interest in the future of China. We want to see that vast einpire put in the way of progress by enlightenment and by the energy of her internal forces. We do not want her Russia. nized, nor Anglicized, nor Gallicized, nor Ger manized, nor Americanized, We wish that her domestic genius shall be the impetus of a for ward movement, and bat Chinese civilization shall endure as the foundation of her future. She has four hundred and twenty-five millions of people, with an immense capacity of nega tive resistance. If called upon to exercise that capacity against the Russia ing process or any other scheme of conversion into something foreign to the racial character of her people, her progress will be hindered and not helped. China, by sending great numbers of her people abroad to be educated and to return equipped for work in the process of adapting her to modem conditions, has shown a willingness to rise above her present state and begin the development of her resources and the expan sion of the wants and consumptive power of her people. In this she should be encouraged by all nations interested in her walfare. The Russian plan is entirely different and treats China merely as an instrument of Russian pawer.-S. F. Call.
