Eastern Siberia have come to be regard
ed as absolutely dangerous to the peace
of the empire. The kuldja, which has
been restored is not the Kuldja with
which the Pekin government parted.
Russia has retained the strategical DO
sisons. China has therefore begun to
adopt more or less defiant attitude to-
ward all foreign powers. England and
Russia beth hope to make use of her.
England will probably succeed, and the
Gar will have one more foe to encoun-
ter in Asia. His government is already
melting Japan to take arms against Chi
ma, The question of the Loo Choo
Islands is being again pushed to the
front. There are men in China who are
anXiously waiting for embarrassments at
home and abroad, who saw in the govern
ment's old torpid policy their chances of
overthrowing it, and whsse agitation is
driving China into warlike activity,
that at no very distant date may prove a
source of anxiety to the world"
