CERMANY's VICTORY.

The deadlock IN the Chinese negotia.
lions seems about TO be broken by a
rapproachment between the United
States and Germany on the question Of
retaliation for the crimes committed by
Chinese officials. This progress toward
settlement is due TO the initiative
taken by the Emperor Of China In is
suing an edict In which he orders the
punishment OF "a number Of high digni-
tarles for their participation In the
Boxer outrages. II the list Of offenders
Is approximately complete; " the pro-
posed punishment is adequate, and II
II IS administered under the supervision
OF the powers. the way is cleared for
further negotiations for peace AS far
as can be- judged from the dispatches
Germany has secured a diplomatic tri-
umph. by securing action on the part
Of China IN line with the policy the an
nouncement OF which came near caus-
ing a wide breach between the western
powers
In the list OF offenders 10 be- dealt
with according to Chinese justice are
Prince Tuan. Chao Shu. and numerous
others who are not familiar to the read
Ing public. The empress dowager and
the emperor are, Of course, not among
them. although It Is pretty well known
that the outrages were committed with
the sanction Of one Of them az least. Il
must be remembered. however. that IN
most OF the countries with monarchical
and imperial governments. the chiefs Of
nations are not liable before the law.
They are considered beyond the reach
Of the rules laid down for the govern
ment Of common mortals Kings and
emperors have their responsible advis-
ers who are punished for the official
misdeeds OF their masters. Western
governments can hardly make China an
exception to this rule The persons OF
the rulers In that country must be con-
sldered as sacred" az those OF other
countries. And Justice will be done,
when the responsible advisers are made
to render an account Of Themselves.
But this does not prevent the powers
from considering, later. the advisabllity
Of continuing the Tartar dynasty in
office. II further atrocities against
foreigners IN China are to be prevented,
government must be established
which is in sympathy with western
progress. II not with western Chris
tianlty.' Without some such radical
measure, peace negotiations will not
avail The foreign powers will con-
tinue their encroachment on Chinese
territory until the people will again
rise in an lmpotent effort to maintain
their right to live In the mysterious
shades Of the past ages, The view
taken by the delegates to the interne-
tional peace congress In Paris VIII be
endorsed by enlightened public opinion.
It was that the powers should attempt
TO establish a stable native government,
capable Of undertaking internal re-
forms. and that the open door for the
honest commerce OF the world on equal
terms is the only policy which gives
any guarantee Tor the country's future
peace and stability.
