this important point in the celestial empire. They hare
lonia that if 1144. y had the )))) 1111 i of the Annatr in their
possesision their enterprising eitizetin would speedily
monopolise the mines of Siberia mill of the northern dis-
tricts of China itself. The linssian tiuvernmeit has

Meantime the meisils•rs 4.f the opposition 441 the Czar,

To save China is, however, an enterprise of a very differ-

The game which Russia is playing in attempting to stifle

singular and equivocal not to attract attention from the
