HIGH CARNIVAL
London Still Celebrating the Relief of
Mafciling.


LONDON, May 19.-London tonight is
in a state of high carnival. so far as the
leading thoroushfares are concerned Col
oneI Baden-Powelrs house, which faces
Hyde Park, was ali day the center Of
scenes which must have been extremely
gratifying to his family, who constantly
appeared on the balcony TO bow their ac-
acknowledgements. In addition there was a
continuous stream of carriages bringing
visitors, leaving cards of congratulation.
When the art students procession,
which was of great length. having been
Joined by many members OF the best
families stopped in front of the house,
the hero's mother and sister came to the
window, evidently greatly moved. His
sister fetched a large oil portrait Of the
Colonel, wreathed in laurel, and placed it
conspcuously on the balcony. When the
storm Of cheers ceased for a moment, the
Colonels mother briefly addressed the
crowd, expressing her heartfelt thanks to
the demonstrators.
At about this time a beautifully-ap
pointed eoslipage drove along in which
were three ladies, each completely attir-
ed in one of the national colors, red,
white and blue. There must have been,
millions of flags sold during the day. The
whole city was covered with them. There
was little attempt al decoration, but the
effect is altogether novel TO Londoners

The officials Of the association say that

The reformers say that they wish to see
this wealth exploited. Another thing
upon which they lay great stress is
the diihculty in maintaining large
foreign army in China, The distances
are great, the means Of transportation
are inferior. and the products Of the

CHINESE REFoRMERs.

The Chinese Reform Association
claims TO be able successfully TO resist
the Boxers. if it receives the eo-opera-
ton of the powers, says the Victorian
colonIst. This is matter tnat is well
worth looking into. We know so little
about China that many of US are dis
posed to hesitate before giving any
movement among the people Of that
country its proper weight. The Reform
Association. which is represented in
this city and in every other important
centre Of population on the Pacific
Coast, is said to owe It's origin TO the
direct influence Of the emperor. con-
cerning whose fate the world is at pres
ent in doubt. This potentate was dis
posed to govern China in progressive
lines, but was unable to resist the infiu-
ence OF his encourage, and was de-
throned by the empress dowager. who
is reactionary to an extraordinary de-
gree. Before his dethronement he is
said to have commissioned two agents
TO carry on the reform movement. and
the result is an association numbering
millions of members. having for it's OBJ
ject the restoration Of the emperor to
the throne and the adoption of a pro-
gressive policy for the country. 1t is
alleged that this association is not con-
tent 70 trust to the arts of peace to ac-
eomplish its object. but that 1t has
hundreds of thousands of men. drilled
and armed, and ready to fight for the
principles which they represent.
II this is true. the powers would act
wisely to take the Reform Association
into account in any plans they may
form as to the future of China. 1t is
hardly possible TO regulate and improve
China from without. The influence
must work from within. The news,
which comes from Pekin, Of counter
revolution headed by Prince Ching,
may be a phase Of the reform move
ment. If this movement is what it is
claimed to be. and no one can suggest
any coed reasons for taking It to be
otherwise. a partition Of China is not
needed in order to restore order and
open the nation to trade and commerce.
