The National tribune., 1900-07-12

The news that comes over the sea Of
the assassination of the German Minister,
Baron Won Ketteler, and the uncertainty
as to the fate Of other Ministers and for
eigners, seems reiteration Of what oc-
CURED during the negotiations of treaties
with MIR. Bruce, Minister to China from
the British Government in 1855
The American and Russian Govern
ments were represented, but as they had
not the same ground of complaint that
Great Britain and France had, their mis-
sion was of a more pacific nature. Treat
les had been made previously. Caleb
Gushing had been commissioned to China
In 1874, and without difficulty had nego-
tiated treaty. Many of the Chinese saw
the advantage to be derived from COM
mercial relations with foreign countries
and China, and negotiations were carried
on for several years, with varying moods
of hostility and friendliness. Under the
treaty of Tien Tsin, 1853, the British Gov.
ernment was authorized to maintain a
Minister at Pekin; but it will De remem-
bered that when Lord Elgin went to take
his place the Pekin Government refused

no longer do so in daylight. he came dis
guised at night.
This wish for enlightenment, and his
having clashed with Prince Kung, sealed
his fate. The method of his murder was
enthusiastically cunning. At the time it
occurred, it was reported to the writer by
his interpreter, and this man wes quite
lost in admiration at its ingenuity.
Drapery, infected with smallpox, was
taken into the Imperial apartments, and
the unfortunate Tung- Chez, after taking
the disease, was permitted to die of neg
lect.
The same night the present deposed
Emperor, then a child of four, was re-
moved by force from his bed by Tsi- -Hsi's
orders, and against the wishes and en-
treaties of his mother, taken to a room
close to where the body of the murdered
Prince lay, to receive the homage of the
confederates of the ex-concubine OF Huen-
feng in this vile plot.
This step procured her another dozen
years lease of power, though 1t was not
finally secured till the unfortunate girl
Empress, then expecting her confinement,
was got out Of the way of "China's Sor-
row."
1t was very soon known that the great
generosity of Tsi-Hsi had been shown in
the splendid memorial tablet she had
caused to be erected in honor of the wild
owed bride, who, 1t was officially re-
corded, had most decorously starved her
self to death in her grief at the loss of her
young husband.
Tsi-Hsi had long governed in the name
OF the Eastern Empress. who was the law

whom have indeed almost isolated Tien
Tsin itself. Only great army, thorough
ly equipped, can reach he Imperial Capt.
tai, by systematic and skillful invasion.
No dash by a large or small force could
succeed. The fact is being realized that
the conditions have changed materially
since the war with Japan. There is no
longer any doubt that the Chinese are
armed now with modern weapons and
have been drilled, whether they are SOL
diers naturally or not, by foreign drill
masters. 1t would not do to make the
British mistake of undertaking the enemy.
POWERS LOOK TO JAPAN.
Russia has been suspected Of 'having
motives" and of opposing Japan's send
ing every man and gun possible to China,
Japan apparently being the nation best
prepared to get an effective force upon the
ground very quickly-in fact, the best pre-
pared of all the nations for war in that
particular place. Japan is known also to
have ambitions. However this may be,
all the powers have agreed to take the
ground that there is no Government In
China with which to make war, and the
plans go no further than to get as large
force as possible to Pekin at the earliest
moment, that the lives Of the foreigners
in Pekin shall be preserved If 1t is not too
late, and elsewhere in China; and that an
effective arrangement must be made for
the preservation of foreign interests and
lives in China hereafter, although it may
be stated that our Government limits this
last declaration to American interests and
lives.
Up to this time our Government has
done all, it is said, that il can do to meet
the present emergency; it cannot get re-
Inducements on the scene quickly enough
to relieve the Pekin foreigners, and all the
European Governments seem to be in the
same position. All at present are looking
to Japan, which, it is stated, has %, 900
troops ready. The desire of Japan to go
ahead in this matter was laid before the
powers several days ago, and a prompt
affirmative response was made by at least
Russia, Great Britain and France and
Germany, and it is believed Austria and
Italy. Japan consented conditional on
unanimous agreement, and the japanese
Government has ordered heavy reinforce
ments to Taku.
