CHINA.

That extraordinary combination of rebels, ycelpt the Boxers, with their innate hatred of and opposition to everything foreign, have so far had it practically all their own way, and committed massacre after massacre with impunity, and it is very difficult to judge at present where theirramificationsend, as they are constantly breaking out in fresh places. The Chinese are essentially a nation of workers. State Government and both political and military leadership are virtually lost arts to them. Misguided as these rebels are, the fact that the Powers are placing 30,000 troops in the field does not appear to dismay them. They require a severe lesson, and it is already commencing. The position is one wherein the principal danger lies in the complications that may arise -when the victors proceed to administer the estate oi the vanquished.
