China Objects.

The Empress Dowager of China is firing Of
the partition of her empire, and has instructed
imperial officials to declare war upon any
foreign power attempting to seize territory
belonging to the jurisdictions under their con
troll. The generals and commanders of troops
have been instructed to be ready for emer-
geney, and those in one province are to assist
those in adjoining provinces, where attemps
to seize ports and territory may be made.
After China humiliation by Japan all Europe
made a scamble to seize ports, some by ne
gotiation and others without asking leave.
Italy was denied a concession of territory,
and the Empress fears an attempt to seize
some by Italy, hence the order.
The Chinese empire, however, is doomed
doomed so far as its chief trade ports are con-
cerned. Russia, Japan, Germany, France
and England have all taken port and slice

United States may get port and foothold
there, and this, too, in the face of the fact
that the United States prohibits Chinese com
ing to this country. If the Empress stands to
her resolution to repel invasion, the United
States may have to fight for a footing, but the
sacrifice of few lives is not a matter of con-
sequence to the Hanna Mckinley Admins
ton, so they can keep up with the imperial
mowers of Europe.
