that the State alone owns and operates
more than twenty thousand miles OF

ACCORDING TO the testimony OF q

leave New York to live with him In

great that they want to 90 there when

IT HAS been several times asserted
that the European powers--or, the ma.
jority OF them-hsd no desire to end the
troubles 10 China, and that, were all
the difficulties removed, others would
be devised to further oomplicate mat
tiers and afford excuse to stay there.
Late developments seem to confirm this
prediction. A new casus belli has now
been started by Won Waldersee at time
when 1t was hoped the troubles were at
an end. A formidable force OF Chinese
was said to have crossed the border Of
Shanghai province and must be driven
back. A large army was Immediately
modified st Pao Ting Flu. and, In spite
OF the Chinese Emperor's orders to his
troops to recross the line and the report
that they had done 30, the allies are to
be preclpitsted on the foe. Russia still
pretends that the MaDchurians have
risen and destroyed q hundred miles Of
railway, and the Gar must take the
field again to pscify bis wards. Even
Eogland has caught the infection, and
an Anglo-Japanese force has started out
on tour OF paoification. This discloses
one or two things. Either the Chinese
have mustered sufficient courage to re-
sist oppressors, or the negotiations had
reached a point which was embassies.
Ing, and vigorous steps had to be taken
to divert attention and pave the way
Tor an indefinite occupation Of China.
