Russia in dealing with the knotty
Chinese problem. AS we have taken
occasion to say before, we believe
that the attitude of this government

ably the dismemberment OF China.
II is to be devoutly hoped that the
same will continue to be the case and
that there may be no mistake made
by this government in dealing with
the Eastern question. We are be-
ginning to fear. however, that when
some OF the transactions now kept

the United States has been used to

advancing the interests Of their gov
