Christians and their ways but am NOT

Eckman In his youth he was ied away
from religion by reading Tom PAINE but
in his maturity his mind turned back to

Yuan Shih-kai kept on with his negotia-

THE CHINESE LOAN AGAIN.

II is not at all surprising that the
Chinese government is now seeking to
reopen negotiations with the six pow
ers for a large loan. It would have
been surprising II It had not done so,
or did not do 50 in the near future.
For two things are certain. One IS
that China needs the money. The other
is that the comparatively small amount
which she got through private loan
was not only entirely inadequate to
her needs. but also gave her no hope
of supplying her needs in that way.
The Picking government probably real
ICES that the six power group is the
only source from which ii has as
surance Of getting the Indispensable
funds. and therefore turns back to 1t.
The most interesting question now Is
how the application will be received
bv the powers which China only a lit
tie while ago openly flouted and defied.
The conduct OF the Peking government
last summer was not at all relished
by the European chancelleries. When
Mr.. Crisp, of the London Stock Elk
change, organized a syndicate to lend
China SJO.OOO.0O0, the British govern
ment protested that China ought not
thus TO borrow outside Of the six
mower combination at least until she
had provided for the repayment OF the
advances already made by the latter
II also explained TO Mr. Crisp that as
matter Of principle it-and presuma-
bly the other powers-would never
support a loan which was concluded
without satisfactory security and con-
troll of its expenditure. In the face or
this Mr.. Crisp practically replied that
he would do as he pleased, in defiance
of the powers. and he presently an
nounced the Offering Of the loan. The
British government then warned the
Chinese government that If ii accepted
the loan His Majesty's government
would be obliged TO take the most
serious view Of such proceedings.
Nevertheless, a part Of the loan was
actually coated and was accepted by
China.
Now the Middle Republic apparently
repents of rs indisoretion and turns to
