AS we have apprehended ali along, the

the Powers demands 10 China has not
by any means removed all grounds for ap-
prenension in connection with the Chinese
question. On the contrary there are evi-
dences that a feeling of decided uneasi-

that the Emperor Kwang Hsu-euphe-

It is safe to say that nobody in this

equally reasonable that it would not ven
