The American people will celebrate
this day with a pride in their achieve
ments and their purpose, sense OF
largeness in their aims, a confidence in
their power and their mission such as
they never felt before. II is more

Seattle was settled on Monday by the

The Event in China.

L
dor. the situation justifes the gloomi-
est forebodings Probably no one really
| expects that the members of any of the
| legations will come forth alive from
| China's capital. The wave of fanati-
| cism and hatred has stirred an ocean
| so mighty that all fear and discretion
| are swept away by the touch of its
| crest. 1t is reasonable to fear the
| Horst.
| Most minds are occupied with the
| problems Of the future, which do not
simplify as they approach. 1t will be
no easy task to restore order to this
! vast empire, where the way is stopped
| by uncounted hordes of Boxers who
care nothing for death. and where there
are absolutely none OF the facilities nee
| essary to the speedy movement of n
modern army. ANY reverse tends only
TO send new throngs of natives into the
fighting ranks; while anything like a
complete occupation of the country
must be. even to the forces Of the COM
bined nations, little short OF an i'm
possibility.
The only encouraging feature is found
in the peculiar system of government
In China which makes each province
practically an independent state. with
its viceroy supreme. Had we to deal
xrif a NJ
ing in any sort of concert. years would
scarcely be sufficient TO quell their tur-
bulence. But a large part of the en-
pire is comparatively quiet. uninterest-
ed, not anxious to be involved in move
ments with which 1t has little sympa-
thy. 1t is therefore only a portion of
pie that must be made to feel the force
of Western vengeance
Notwithstanding this, the problem
looms large by reason of the enormity
of the outrage. This is no question of
the burning OF a few buildings for which
indemnity can be collected. No govern
ment which, y, without provocation,
causes or permits the murder of the
representative of another at its capital
Is At TO live. 1t is hard to conceive of
any final arrangement that does not
involve both the establishment by ex-
ternal force of a new ruling power in
China and such participation in its
government by the powers az will give
bonds against any repetition OF the ter
rble events OF the last few weeks. De-
partments OF state and OF war are
equally uncertain before their task.
OF one thing all the world may be
sure. The old regime will never be re-
stored. Partition or protectorate or
whatever II may be, China will not have
an opportunity to repeat this insult and
this injury, An the powers will exact
not merely reparation for the past but
guarantees for the future. We have
seen the last of Chinese isolation.
Whether the vast empire becomes the
pupil or the prisoner of the world. It
viii always hereafter feel pero eptibly
the hand of restraint. But before that
time comes there Is a work to be done
that Is rendered possible only by the
distance at which China lsgs behind the
age and by the absence of a true race
solidarity among her people.
