\ few years ago it was exceedingly rare
for whaling captain to be accompanied by
his wife and children, but it is now very
common. An examination of the list OF
whalers shows that no less than f0rty-two are
now in the Pacific Just one-half of that
number are now in Honolulu. The happy
influence of this goodly number of ladies is
apparent to the most careless observer.

The China Question at Washington.

hc W
The Washington Constitution of Tuesday
has leading editorial on the news from
China, which is important in so far as il may
be accepted az in the view in which the Ad-
ministration is disposed to take of the treaty
of Tein tsin, with the gross violation of which
the Chinese stand accused. After the state
ment of the disasters on the Peiho, the editor
refers to the stipulation in the treaty. provid-
ing for the reception of the English and French
Ambassadors i'm Pekin; hut it does not appear
W neither it was stipulated that they should
be permitted to approach that capital with so
strong an armed force as that with which
they arrived at the mouth of the Peiho. The
Constitution is inclined to believe that the
passage 10 the river By a strong ndUdi squadron
not prOrded for in the treaty. and il it be so,
however wantonly the attack of the Chinese
may be deemed, the editor thinks. their con-
duct cannot properly he called a "treacherous
violation of treaty obligations"
The Consultation has no faith in the story
forts was owing to the presence of Russian
gunners. Russian supremacy at Pekin may
in some degree be lessened by the presence
there of English and French reprepresenta-
tiycs but the government organ hardly
thinks that Russian interests in China. or the
mere prestige to be derived from the prescrva-
ton of that supremacy, are of sufficient i'm
portance to induce the able and astute
rulers of Russia to run the risk of another
war with two such powerful nations as France
and England, particularly when the advan-
tages to be gained can only be temporary.
