Active preparations for what is con-
sidered the inevitable assault upon

experience has taught that the temper
OF the people is not to be trusted when
revolutionary movements are in pro-
gress.
The fact that Tien Tsin did not fall.
yesterday. as was expected. is a hope
full sign, because 1t indicates that
whatever steps the revolutionaries
are taking in the North, they are at
least proceeding along careful lines
and are acting with consideration and
without haste. While reinforcements
have reached Pekin, reports have been
received of numerous OBJECTIONS among
the Manchu soldiers to the rebel side.
The government troops are an uncer-
tain quantity. but there are still loyal
regiments which are fighting for the
