the common sense advice Of the Unit
ed States naval commander at Taku.
The
Point of Difference
between the state department and the
European governments is that the lat
ter are proceeding upon the belief that
all the foreign ministers and mission
aries and guards at Picking have been
killed and insist upon dealing with
the Chinese government upon that
basis, thereby assuming a hostile at
titude that tends to destroy the last
chance of availing of whatever friend
" sentiment may exist among the
powerful Chinese viceroys and the inf-
.perial government itself. Thus the
French reply sets an impossible task
for the imperial government in itf
present straits, and tends to drive n
