the Russian proposal means anything.
it means a return to the statu quo ante
to the state OF things under which the
boxer movement was promoted and en-
couraged and the life of every foreigner
in China was placed in jeopardy There
are a great many things yet to be ex-
planned in regard to recent events in
China, but this much is certain, that
had the empress dowager and her satel-
lites been allowed their own way the
whole country would have been in a
flame Of anti-foreign insurrecticn today
and the fiction that the powers are not
at war with China would have had to
be abandoned. 1t is true that we must
have some kind OF responsible govern
rnent with which TO make terms for the
settlement OF the future of China and of
the status OF all our foreign interests
there. There is no such government in
China at the present moment, because
the emperor, If he be still alive, is I'M
der duress and the empress dowager can
answer for nothing except the perpetual
ton of the blind and ignorant hatred of
the foreigner which she and her ad-
visers cherish in common. 1t may be to
the interest of Russia and Lii Hung
Chang to make easy the restoration OF
the authority OF the empress dowager,
but it is certainly not to the interest OF
any power that wants to see China pre-
served from ACKNOWLEDGMENT and launch
ed on q career of peaceful progress and
proSperify.''
