great captain, and his flatterers never un-
deceived him, because it would not pay
to do so.
In the hands of an able and determined
man like Count Ito, the Chinese imam of
blood and iron" proved Of softest wax,
and he only got slight concessions where
the japanese Envoy was already prepared
to concede

In the same way Count Cassini has re-
Gently dealt. with the metropolitan
officials over the great loan, which con-
tending competitors were endeavoring to
frighten the Chinese into repudiating.
Count Cassini did not consent to ,haggle
with these gentry in person. He simply
remained in his legation until he and his
government thought China had shown
enough of her bad faith, and then he sent
a note to the Tsungli-Yamen by slcere-
tary OF interpreter, giving the Chinese
twenty-four Or forty eight hours to carry
out or repudiate the bargain, intimating
pretty plainly that in the latter event
Russia would withdraw her protecting
arm against the Japanese, who would be
free to pursue their own course in China
without any chance of Russia again in
teryening to save this miserable empire
from absolute and unrestricted conquest
with all the penalties entailed on the
vanqnished.
The effect upon the shuff1ing, cunning,
double dealers who rule China was
electrical. The Yamen, palace and Great
Boards Of the capital were in futter in
moment. 1t was either the devil or the
deep sea, and they took to the water after
one vain look for aid from other quarters.
Their deep rooted treachery had, how
ever, long since disgusted all who might
previously have been inclined to help
China in ordinary times. But now every
one stood aloof, and there was nothing
for it but to sign the fatal bond, which
will assuredly result in the destruction of
the bondslnen Count Cassini played his
game with consumate skill, whatever his
rivals may say.
