Port Arthur. And then Russia
poured thousands of her soldiers
under tho thin pretence that they
were railway police-into Manchuria
To-day Manchuria is in effect q
Russian province. Inside of year
or IS months the great Siberian
railway, which runs across tho top
of Asia, with spurs touching Persia,
Northern India and China, will be
completed,
China is hopeless. Her Tsung-li.
Yamen is filled with doddcring old
Mandarins intent upon blackmail
and careless of the public interests
There is no national sentiment, prac-
tically no army or navy, and no
scheme Of defense, external or in
tcrnal. 1t is the past passively re-
sistng the present and future. The
young Emperor is either dead or a
prisoner, and the ruthless Empress
wiclds whatever power she can.
All is confusion, corruption and
decay i'll China. Strong European
statesmen have attempted to save
her by means of internal reforms
but they have had to give up the
impossible task. The Chinese re-
former, Kung Yu Wei-a really en-
lightcncd and broad minded states
man-for few days got control of
the Chinese throne, when the young
Emperor assumed power. lie began
to apply modern principles to Chi
ncsc problems in the hope of avert
ing the doom Of his country. Too
late! The Empress seized the
throne. kung Yu Wei fled for his
life, and all his friends were butch
cred
The peace treaty between China
and Japan opened many Chinese
ports. AS foreigners pressed into
the interior the Chinese grew more
and more hostile. Missionary blood
was she'd The German Emperor
seized kiao Chau and Great Britain
took Wei i-lIai- Wei, close to the
Russian bases at Port Arthur and
Talen- Wan.
The direct route to Pckin and
Ticn. .Tsin lies through the Gulf of
Pc Chilli, past the Taku forts and
up the Pcho river. Russia holds
one side of this gulf; Great Britain
and Germany the other side. All
arc ready to strike.
Japan has never forgiven Russia
for taking away from her the Man
chnrian territory, coded by China
The japanese government has almost
bankruptcd itself in effort to build a
navy strong enough to resist Russia.
Japan has her revenge in sight.
The United States has interests in
the Philippines and an eye for con-
quest or acquisition--which ever
word may be more acccptable-in
the threatened empire.
And so the forces Of death, greed,
international jealousy and slccplcss
ambition are gathering at the gate
way of China. This may be only
the preliminary movement. 1t may
be succeeded by months of diplo-
matte wrangling and intrigue. But
one thing is certain. The pressure
on China will grow greater every
day, the riots and disorders will in
crease, the desire for territory and
trade will set the immagination of
all nations on fire, and then, this
year, perhaps, the oldest empire in
the world will tumble down and
every great nation will have n Chi
ncsc colony. Either that, or Russia
will seize Asia.
