CHINA
Nothing very striking bus taken place in China during the mouth, the crisis still 'remains a crisis, and from all one can see to the contrary, it is likely to continue to do so for some time yet. The absolute retirement of the Empress Dowager, which enlightened Chinese strongly recommend the Allies to insist on before they evacuate Pekin, is a step which might certainly have been advantageously taken much earlier in the game. The old lady has exercised an excessively bad influence over her subjects, and it is amazing that even a nation like the Chinese would put up with her domineering eccentricities, and self-seeking apologies for diplomacy ; more especially when they have before them such pronounced examples of the evils they have wrought.
