Show Their Allies How to Run

London, Dec. 26.-In the course of a
review published in the Morning Post
today Of the conditions existing at
Pei<in, II. J. Whigham, the well known
newspaper correspondent, says there
are now quarter of q million of in
habttants pursuing their ordinary avO-
cations in the American quarter. The
markets are all in full blast. He adds
that the American and japanese quar-
tiers are, in al respects, the best man
aged.
Continuing, Mr.. Whfgfam says: This
enormous portion of the city is policed
by exactly one company Of infantry
and a feWSmOunted men under a pro-
vost marshal. If only these hard head
ed soldiers of the provost marshal type
had been given a free hand in the Phil
ippines the task of Subjugating the I'M
fortunate islanders would have been
much more simple. If the japanese
have come out of the muddle with fly
ing cOlors, they at least have the Amer
leans close behind. It was worth send
ing an expedition to China if only to get
a few hints from the Americans. Their
scheme Of municipal government could
not be bettered by the British, who
have learned the business by exper-
fence in every quarter of the globe For
the point of contrast it is only necessary
to walk down the avenue of the Chinese
city dividing the United States and
Germany. The American side of the
street is simply Pekin in the ordinary
garb Of peace, minus its Variegated
smells. The opposite side is almost de
serted. The Germans have come 10 the
American side for meat and vegetables.
and it is whispered that the country
people are sometimes robbed as they
bring in the produce, except where the
gates are British, American or Japan

which the Chinese court can vindicate its

be made the subject of negotiations by
the Chinese. Hence Ii Hung Changs an
