WAR WITH THE While
Iublic attention in Europe is mainly direct
ed TO the Turkish struggle with Servia, an
other trouble OF long standing is beginning
to assume serious aspect, involving thu
relations OF England and China. Some time
ago, it will be remembered, an attack was
made upon British surveying and COM
mercial expedition passing through Chinese
territory, and Mr.. Margary was murdered.
ReparatiOn was demanded by the British
government for the outrage, and a great deal
of diplomatic red tape was employed. The
Chinese government promised to give due
satisfaction, but never gave it. At last Brit
ish patience seems exhausted, and a strong
British force has been ordered from the East
Indies to Chinese waters. France and Ger
many have also taken measures to strength
en- their force In the same direction on ac-
count OF outrages upon the PEOPLE Of those
countries, the most recent being the massa-
ere of a priest and number OF others at the
French chapel al Ming kone Foo. Spain Is
also about TO send three gunboats q the re-
quest OF Spanish representatives at Pekin.
Altogether the demonstrations OF the "Out-
side barbariaDs" against the Celestial En-
pire are beginning 10 have wholesome
effect. The mandarins are renewing their
promises and begging Mr.. Wade, the British
minister, who had Withdrawn from Pektn, to
return. This Mr.. Wade refuses to do. the
demonstration on the part OF England Is OF
a very formidable character, the present
feet In Chinese waters being already very
strong, while q large detachment OF the
ships nom India. So it would not be sur
pTisipg TO hear that Pekin had fallen once
more Int British hands The work of repara-
ton once begun will no doubt be . thorough
one, and will perhaps, a. 1t should, fn-
clude the subsection Of the Formosan
savages and the ending OF their barbarous
crimes upon those whom misfortune may
cast upon their shores. In this the United
country, Is interested.
