from st. Bartholomew Hospital, Lon

had bitten her on the nose. Her face
soon began to swell, it was not long
before she was delirious, and in spite
of every effort she died. The hospital
autopsy developed the fact that blood
poisoning had resulted probably from
poisonous microbes introduced into
the system by the fly. Such cases are
not without precedent, but are rare.

that we of the East are pleased with

General Smith. when asked to say
something on the political situation.
Along what lines do you expect the
campaign to be fought?''
Il think the contest will settle down
to virtually two issues. one Of these.
probably the chief one. will be the cur
rency question. The Democratic con-
vention has made 1t so. They have
proclaimed their stand for silver. and
the battle of four years ago on that
question will have to be fought over.
There is no such issue as Imperialism.
That is fiction There can be no imper-
iaiism in free country. But the ques-
ton of upholding and strengthening the
government in dealing with the issues
growing out of the war and In admin
istering the new people brought under

NEW YORK. July 11.-A special to
the Tribune from Lcndon says;
William st. John Broderick's tx
plantations OF the British policy in
China were definite so far as Japan
was concerned. The British govern
ment had made strong appeal to ia
pan to send an adequate force to China
10 suppress the outbreaks Of mob vIo-
lence and to rescue the legations. Ja-
pan in dispatching reinforcements had
not been required to make any pledges
respecting her Interior purposes. and
no conditions had been imposed upon
her. Japan had acted upon the initia-
tive Of England at critical stage OF
Chinese affairs.
Mr.. Broderick did not explain whether
there was any secret arrangement
between the British and Japanese gov
ernments by which the two empires
would stand together against Russia.
He avoided any reference to European
mandate for Japanese action. and
clearly there is none. Japan. at the ur-
gent request of England. is co-operat-
ing with the other powers in the res
toratlon of order. and no limitations
are placed upon her action.
Close observers already perceive that
the deliverance of the legations. II 1t
can be effected. will not mark the end
OF the Chinese complications. but the
beginning OF one of the most trouble.
some chapters in European diplomacy.
Japan. having sent a strong force into
China, will be as reluctant as Russia to
retire without receiving adequate
compensation in territory. and Ger
many will be equally persistent in her
demands for satisfaction for the MUIR
der Of her minister.
There are no further details Of the
Chinese operations against Tien Tsin,
nor explanations of the evidence which
led Admiral Bruce to believe that
Prince Ching is supplying the legations
with food and defending them against
assault. News from Central China is,
however. distinctly reassuring. and
indicates that the American govern
ment is not making progress in that
quarter and that the mission stations
are safe. Lord Salisbury himself has
confirmed this view in a letter to
friends of the Foreign Mission Asso-
citation.
