kopje full of the Boer enemy. And
there water was-or death.
All day those brave English boys lay

swept away in the distance like beau
tiful cloud. Particles of silica and
specks of impalpable dust hung like a
mist over the torrid earth, and the sun

The Worst Has Likely Happened.

The last vestigc of hope has almost disap
pearcd and the world believes that one ofthe
boldest and most atrocious crimes of the
century has been committed in Pekin. That
every foreign minister and every member OF
their suites and families, together with mis-
sionaries, teachers in colleges and schools, all
foreigners, have been murdered by the infu
rated mob of Chinese known as BOXERS"
1t is not known but it is strongly suspected
that the imperial government itsclfha given
countcnancc to the outrage, if not actually
having taken part in it. fit is as bad as at
the worst it seems to be, evidently those who
leaned toward mercy were utterly powerless
in Pekin. To have saved the lives of the
foreigners in that city was, from the begin,
ming impossible. Events progressed so rap
idly that at no time after the Chinese govern
ment advised the foreign ministers to quit
Pekln and they declined, would it have been
possible to put sufficiently strong force
there to defend them.
Just what the civilized and christian coun-
tries of Europe andAmerica will do to avenge
the death of their representatives, it is diff
cult to foretel whether it will be based upon
the doctrine of IAN eye for an eye and tooth
for TOOTH" Jr whether that of "Fathcr, for
give them; they know not what they do" will
be adopted in settlement of China's awful
account with humankind remains to be seen :.
While to base it upon the former would
seem no more than just and certainly in
accord with the practice IN less serious cases,
yet all the professions of the people whose
representatives ale numbered among the
"Boxer" victims, lead one to expect a more
or less forglvng policy, in the matter OF
blood for blood
While many will doutless be killed, yet in
our opinion, indemnity, so many dollars in
amount, will be the final payment that China
will be called upon to make.
Barbarians are no longer thrashcd for
committing wholesale murder; they are pre-
scented with bill for a big sum Of money
and it is collected in payment for SO much
blood that they have shed.
China, being rich, will aaye to pay an
enormous sum; if che will fight, rather, then
the war of the century will be upon us, for
ms we limited in recent article a surprise is
probably in store for "civization" the
Chinese being better armed, equipped, drilled
and led and Drawer than it WAS apprehcnIed
they would be.
