hausted, and Mr.. Carpenter, United

LONDON. Jan. 14.-Dispatches to the
Times from Tien-Tsin say that the Manchu
princes have taken the defense of the coun-
try into their own hands in order to pre-
vent the intrigues of the Chinese officials.
The central government is bewildered and
helpless. Ii Hung Chang, although he has
been relieved of his functions except the
governor-generalship of his province, still
exercises indirect influence over the various
officials. Chinese who have arrived from
Manchuria bring CHASTITY reports of the
desolation of the country between the Yalu
river and the Lilac Ho, recalling the worst
horrors of the TAPPING rebellion. Not a
house is standing. Everything has been
burned and whole populations have per-
ished. Only scattered groups of frozen
corpses are seen, apparently those of entire
families. Neither food nor fuel is pro-
durable. Stragglers from the Chinese army
who have taken refuge in the hills have
become savages, lost to ali human feeling.
The sufferings of the wounded are terrible.
The movements of both the Chinese and
Japanese troops are hindered by the failure
OF supplies from the terrified populace.
The prospect of an extension of such scenes
appalS even the stolld Chinese.

We know the world as it was before

How is it Christendom to-day, as during
the past two thousand years, means civil

barbariSm; there is servitude of the weak,
despotism of the strong, ~inhumanity and

HEAVY ON HER HANDS
ENGLAND CONFRONTED WITH A CRI-
SIS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
Earthquake Causes Panic in
Sicily-HohenlOhe Spends Sunday
with Prince Bismarck.

LONDON, Jan. lin an editorial this
morning the Times says that the New
foundland crisis has reached a point where
it becomes imperative that some decision
shall be made as to the future of the coun-
try. AS unhappily often happens, the
weight of the general calamity falls the
heaviest on those who are wholly innocent
of having caused it. The easy suppressing
of the st. Johns riots speaks much for
the enduring spirit of the people in face
of the prospect of wholesale starvation.
There seems little doubt that the response
bility of dealing with the situation must
eventually fall on the imperial government.
Therefore, no needless delay should be per-
mitted for a useless piling up of further
liabilities. If the imperial government de-
eide to intervene the frsr condition must be
the remuneration of responsible government
which the colony has misused. If it should
be proved that the revenue Of the colony
is totally inadequate to provide the interest
on it's debt it may even be found necessary
to administer it's affairs as those of an
estate in bankruptcy. The whole system of
colonial responsibility would be ended if
liability for debts contracted by the local
generosity shifted to the shoulders of the
British taxpayers. In the case of New
foundland there is reason to believe that
care and economy and a simpler and cheap
err administration would do much to re-
deem the situation.
