Murders of ENJOYS and Imprisonment as

signalized the earlier stages of nearly
ing the last hundred years between the
Western Powers and the dusky races of
Asia and Africa. The fate. therefore, of
the foreign diplomats at Peking can ex-
cite no surprise on the part OF those who
possess any acquaintance with the ORR
ent. Western civilization teaches that the
duty of providing for the safety Of for
eign ENJOYS and of bearers of flags of
truce. as well as OF assuring their immu-
nifty from all harm and indignity, consti-
trtes the most sacred of the obligations
that govern International intercourse.
rio US Asiatic and African Powers makes
Ino such provision, and II certain degree
Of protection is accorded by them to rep
resentatives of European and American
Governments 1t is due rather to a fear of
retsliatory measures than to any ques-
ton of principle or acceptance of high
flown ideas on the subject. This Is only
natural when it is considered that the
Mabometan religion and other Eastern
oieeds expressly teach that no obl;ga-
tons are binding where the Christians
are concerned. The Orientals are blind.
