FOREIGNER IN CHINA.
Lives and Property at Present Are
Comparatively safe.


Writing in the World To-day of the
situation in China at present, DR..
Arthur III. Smith says: There Is no
doubt that In the empire as whole
the lives and property of foreigners
are at present safer than they We're at
any time before the Boxer outbreak.
This is not due to the regulations and
conditions made when the protocol of
peace was signed, so much as to great
er alertness Of the foreign ministers
and Of the foreigners in China them
selves when there are any signs that
the Chinese officials are growing care
less and remisS In their duties. The
case which occurred ia the province or
Human year ago, where military
official was actually beheaded because
he had failed to protect two foreigners
missionaries when he should nave
protected them, made profound I'M
preston drought China and serves
as warning against the repetition OF
such conduct.
The.hope of China is to come under
the tutelage of Japan. Both eastern
nations, they understand each other
condition, and having been conquered
by japan, China has come to have
respect for the island empire that gives
japan the position of leader. Already
students in large numbers have been
sent to Japan to study conditions ana
TO get something of the spirit that has
made Japan what it Is. officials nave
been sent by the government to study
and observe and they have invariably
admitted that Japan's experience was
o,.eoter value to China than the ma
tjons Of the west as the two nations
we're nearer together in every way.
One of the most striking, most mex
nllcable and most alarming symptoms
of the condition of China to-day Is 1ne
absence of competent men to admins
for the highest posts of the empire.
For some years the dearth OF sucn pea.
sons has been attracting attention anu
nov that the rebellion, long raging IN
Kuoncsl has spread to Iunnan ana
saams to be beyond the imperial power
- a,bdue. the question IS more ana
more pressing, who IS to govern the
land supposing that the quarrels anu
arrressions Of the powers leave any
thing to be governed?

of Beatrice; she is all have, and know
| am dear to her heart"
My son, who can comprehend the
depths of the human heart? Even in
her you may be mistaken" said the gen
eral; his silver gray head sinking upon
his breast.
You have seen her, then? What did
she say to your demanded Victor, inter
negatively. "They have persuaded her
TO believe me guilty. Do | surmise cor

Perhaps do not know did not

could to ascertain her whereabouts and
was told she was at Stratmore."
"StratmoreW repeated Victor. "Neith-
er Beatrice nor her maid could have ut
tered such a falsehood."
My report is not concluded yet. I
demanded information of Mafsden and
endeavored to clear up your affairs. He
said Miss Aibenson has dropped YOU"
Il will never believe it! Neverw ex-
claimed Victor. "'Beatrice could never
doubt me!'
Il wish could coincide with you, my
son, and withhold the terrible truth.
Victor, Miss Albenson is betrothed to
Count Bozellr'
"Ah! / see. Marsden has concocted
this; and you are credulous enough to
believe him."
1T Is neither n falsehood nor has
Marsden contrived it. read the print
ed announcement of the counts coming
marriage with Beatrice, word for word ;
and have examined the genuineness of
the article, and $250000 is to be be-
slowed upon Miss Albenson when she
can call herself Countess Bozell."
Even if you have seen it in black and

for my darling and hear the truth from

'Where will you seek? Marsden keeps
her abode secret; you will not find her,
and, even if success should reward your
efforts, you will be the more deceived"
The most opposite emotions rushed
through Victor's mind. but in the next
moment his firm belief in Beatrice's
faithful love gained the supremacy.
Proudly he exclaimed:
'The heavens will fall ere Beatrice
with MY last kiss still burning on her
lips, will give her consent to marry Count
Bozell. She is too sublime, too proud to
commit treason upon the sacred feelings
of person. You will also trust her yet
time will prove her faithful"
II fear, Victor, you will bitterly regret
your confidence" said Mrs. Raymond, in
a slow, sympathetic voice.
Your mother Is correct" added the
general. BE brave, my boy. Miss AL
benson has Tilted you"
