Russian Plot in China

WASHINGTON correspondence says that the Russian plot in China “was to stir up the anti-foreign elements of the population, and under cover of disorder, to land Russian troops, which should forever remain in the Chinese capital;” and from this “gradually to extend her suzerainty over the empire” through the connivance of the empress dowager, who is “under the thumb of Russia,” and “bitterly hates the Germans and the English.” But it is this plot failed to work as planned, because the “Boxers” went far beyond the bounds planned, which required that troops of all the powers should be landed.
