present situation in China. The fact

portant cities concerned in the rebel

words. He exhibited two arrows ac-
tually used in the Boxer rebellion
eleven years ago, In order to. show
what progress i'm war has been made
in recent years within the domain of

come, he said he did not believe there
would ever be any complete reform
until the country was under Chinese
rule, and not governed by an alien
race.
