ders for the most hopeless woman If
Mrs. Newton, whose letter is given
below, had not persisted in its use, she

for her persistence was because she used
"Favorite Prescription as a rlast re-

letter.

The i'm rsssion prevails in western
lands that China is beaten, and is
badly demoralized by her defeat and
her humiliation. What, let us inquire
is China? Not the empire of that name,
which. as a whole, knows nothing of
the presence of foreigners within her
boundaries. and cares eve less. If we
take the two Provinces of Shansi,
through which the court passed to get
to Si-Ngan-Fu, and that of Shensi.
where the court now is, We may ar
rive at a fair estimate of what China
thinks about this whole business. In
the latter province, the people are too
much occupied in the industry of try
ing to keep from starving to death to
attend to much else, except to con-
trive how to get rid on any terms of
that court which they never wanted
with them. Its presence has been in
no way a benefit, but a burden and
an eXasperation throughout. We
gather from what filters through the
opaque media e%nvironing the distant
Chang An that, so far as foreign
armies go. those who have the ear of
the Empress Dowager feel themselves
quite ecure in the remote fastness.
There was a time when deep dread
filled every heart. This was also the
case in Shansi. In the month of Oc-
tober, a very small foreign force could
have penetrated the Ku Kuan passes,
for the mere mention of their name
diffused a pallor over every cheek.
Now, after all these months, the Chi
nese soldiers and generals have had
time to regain their breath after a
protracted fight altogether. and they
have entrenched themselves along a
line hundreds of Ii in length, and are
grown bold with the success Of mega
tive defiance. They have succeeded in
so defending the long n difficult
route, as to make the advance of west
, 1901-09-20


ern troops difficult, and, as they think,
totally inpracticable. According to the
reports of trustworthy native Chris
tians recently from Shansi. under the
command Of a son of Liu k'un-yi,
strongly posted throughout the pass
from Ting Chou in Shansi to within a
short distance of the french outposts
at Huai Su Hsien in Chilli, at the
very gate of the Tai Hang mountains.
Other Chinese just from 81 Ngan-Fu
state hat the imperial highway lead
ing thither from Tung Kuan, near the
crossing of the Yellow River, via the
great road from Shansi. is everywhere
intersected at brief intervals with pits
like those used in Fukien to entrap
tigers, covered with sorghum stalks
upon which is a layer of earth.
The essential point to be noted is
that the Chinese have forgotten every
thing, and has learned nothing. There
has been only one period during many
years, when the Chinese court has not
been engaged in playing off one power
against another that China might es-
cape. AS the number of powers is
enlarged, the difficulties increase in
geometricaf ratio, and by the time
there are eight armies and eleven le-
cations to deal with the friction is SO
multiplied that motion ceases. This
we have all along feared, and the Chi
nese have all along hoped for. Now,
they are sure of it, and SO, too, are we.
1t would be contrary to the uniformity
Of nature if this incontestable and
vital fact did not make incurable the
chronic amaurosis of the Chinese po-
litical eye They are saved by the
discussions Of the powers.
