Mr.. W. ON CHINA.

The views OF Mr.. WI on the present crisis in
China are welcome. Since the death of Ii Hung
Chang there has been no man whose views
would be more acceptable or we believe, more
truly Illuminating Mr.. WI knows China
He also knows America. He is thus able in
more than ordinary measure, TO regard each
country with the eyes of the other and in the
present case to depict the Chinese situation in
manner conspicuously ineligible to Ameri-
cans
When he was here. and was q favorits after
dinner speaker, there were those who esteemed
Mr. WI to be, as they expressed IT, something
OF jOllier" Perhaps he was Some diplomats
are, especially when they are among those who
regard themselves the people with whom
wisdom shall perish. But he was always un-
commonly strong in facts. and we are inclined
10 think that, he is freed from diplomatic
conventions. he continues 10 speak the truth ::
especially when he naIvely remarks that there
are only few sensible reformers IN China and
he is one of them
So his frank talk suggests the thought that
China. like some other lands, has troubles Of
her own, and is entitled TO generous considera-
non while she wrestles with them just as the
others are. Russia, for example is having a
hard time. n good deal like China's In many re-
spects. There is this difference that Russia
massacres her own people, instead OF giving rise
nHSSHcrQ
foreigners. But then in her case it is her own
people that have been starting the ructions
while in China there is reason 10 think the for
elgners have been in measure responsible.

Liberal majority in county seats IN 1910 is 40
per cent greater than the Unionist in 1900. the

Again. of the 80 Scottish county seats the Union

that many Unionists deserted their party Tor

Not the least gratifying thing about the ar

the fact that the rate OF progress for the last
five hundred miles of it's voyage was close to the
average for the first three weeks IL Is not
known exactly when the tug Potomac. whlcn
reached the Canaries on Monday. left the ex-
pedition; but If she did not depart prior 10 last
week Friday the Glacier and her assistants
must have made about seventy miles a day.
In that case Gibraltar should be sighted about
ten days hence, If no delay at Las Palmas is
necessary.
