Interest will center in the Morris
purchase until the pork magnate shall
indicate his intentions with reference
to it. If he decides to bring it back

gestion is earnestly presented that il

pose of a counter irritant. adding to
the already rich atmosphere a tone
and touch Of historic "Reminiscences

long been needed to make the

unfair view. The stock yards is Chi

The Rehabilitation of China.

There are accommodating evidences
that China is setting out on pro-
gram of rehabilitation and restora-
ton of her administrative entity.
The central government is weak and
ineffective, the provincial rulers be-
ing almost independent of the Pekin
dynasty. But since the Boxer out
break, there has been an increasing
determination on the part of the
Pekin government to establish itself
as sovereign.
Preliminary to the real unification
OF the country, it has been realized
that the citadels of foreign influence
must be weeded out Port Arthur was
the most threatening of these, and
Japan has done the neighborly act of
expelling Russia from it, albeit she
has shown no sign of carrying her
neighborliness to the point of return
ing it to the Manchus. Right on the
heels of this, the Chinese administra-
ton busies itself in buying out the
American concession for the Canton
Hanlkow railroad This road would
have meant hardly less to America
in a commercial way than the Chi
nese Eastern did to Russia. China
has resumed control of it. which
probably means that it will be built
as a Chinese institution.
In line with the same disposition
OF the Chinese to regain control of
their country. it has been given out
recently that England is willing to
abandon its concession at Wei Hal
Wei. This was taken by England as
part of the seaport-grabbing enter
prise which gave Port Arthur to Rus
STA and Kiao Chou to Germany.
Finally, it is said that China is
also moving to get Germany out of
kiao Chou. II England is willing to
abandon her north China foothold.
Germany will hardly be able to re-
main at Kiao Chou.
Thus China appears to be fast re-
gaining control of her own territory
and its strategic points. Seaports are
scarce in north China, and the for
sisners had secured SO many of the
good ones that commercial partition
really was closer at hand than was
comfortable to outsiders to contem-
plate.
John Hays diplomacy and Oyama's
armies must be credited with the ini-
tiative of this policy of reserving
China for Chinese control. 1t is as
good for the world at large as it is for
China. The period of Oriental exclu-
siveness is past; China is destined to
a rapid development in the coming
decades Absorption of these ports
by European powers pointed to fu-
ture partition. 1t assured that the
Chinese people would view foreigners
and their intrusion as a menace and
threat. rather than a benefit. 1t is
far better that China should admins
ter its own affairs, in an enlightened
way. and that foreigners should have
free field and no favor in the compe-
tition for commercial benefits.
