certain that the Russian peacemaking sugges-
tions not liked.
AS for the idea of recognizing Ii Hung Chang,
it is pointed out that the Vicercy has for years
been anti-English, and, on the other hand, has
cultivated rather close relations with Russia,
especially since the good offices of that Power
enabled China to deprive Japan of most of the
solid results to which her military successes en-
titled her. 1t is urged that Russian confidence
in the possibility of negotiating with the Chinese
Imperial authorities is in itself significant, and
seems TO imply a curious knowledge Of the SEN
tments entertained by the fugitive Govern
ment. No doubt il would suit Russia well that
the allied troops should be sent back to their
respective countries, and a lasting peace patched
up with the now weakened and discredited
Manchu dynasty. which would have to rely alb
soutely for support it's powerful Northern
neighbor. China would then be reduced to
condition Of tutelage, and meanwhile the par
tition would be averted and matters would be
kept outwardly quiet till Russia had completed
the Trans-Asiatic railway and had amassed
enormous forces in Siberia. when she would be
ready for final stroke. This represents one
and perhaps the most emphatic line of British
opinion on the subject
THE coUNTRY's PROBABLE ACTION.
. Meanwhile the Foreign Office, without going
into larger questions Of Chinese policy, will
probably be content for the present to urge that
negotiations will be useless unless they can be
undertaken with the properly accredited pleni-
potentiaries OF Government that can be con-
sidered reasonably stable, and that this condi-
ton would have to be insisted on, whether the
allied troops were withdrawn from Peking or
not
The appointment Of Count Won Waldersee it is
admitted. only adds to the difficulties of the
situation, since it intensifes the desire of Ger
many to defer a speedy settlement. So far as
Great Britain is concerned, Germany is quite
welcome to take any isolated action she may
plan against China in the supposed satisfaction
for the death Of her Minister, but Germany is
free country under Parliamentary constitu-
tion and not Russian autocracy, and it must
be remembered that, whatever may be the
Kaiser's personal wishes, he has to reckon with
the public opinion among his subjects. who

AS the Beers retired through the donga in

eight, including General Olivier and his three
sons. AS two hundred Beers were following be-
hind in fairly close order. the Coonials then be-
gan hard vollay firing, with the result that they
killed six Beers and frightened off the others
