The London TtEtS, referring 20 the condition

respects independent, and she is fitted TO be.
come so. She has the institutions OF great
power, and IL Is fair subject OF inquiry
whether she might not assume her appropriate
position The Mar. in an article on the re-
Ceptlon OF the Amer IAN treaty by the Chinese,
SHOWS that the treaty secured substantial ad-
vantages for China, while America disclalmed
any interference with their internal admins
tration. II cannot be supposed that the Pekin
government is dissatisfied with the convention,
but that that weak government. should yield to
the pressure of Nj Burlngame's enemies, and
who represents TO it that the convention is at
variance with the traditions OF the country, is
NOT surprising. L. now remains 70 be seen
whether Mr.. Burlingi me or Mr. Browne re-
fleets the mind and purpose OF President
Grant. The Standard thinks that tue Chinese,
in refusing 10 endorse the agreement, show
that they are not animated by impulses which
Mr.. Burlilgame declared they Possessed, and
hopes their action will lead him 70 abandon
functions which secure neither honor for him
self nor benefit for the world al large.
