China’s International Crisis

REPORTS from China give no hope of a settlement of the international tangle there in the near future. The ruler of China has promised the punishment of other high officials; but the powers have not thus far been able to agree as to what demands they shall make upon China. There seems to be some indication that the empress dowager is coming to sense the seriousness of the situation; but there is no indication that she is yet willing to return to Peking. Punitive expeditions continue to be sent out in different directions from Peking, resulting in small skirmishes and the destruction of property, but no tangible results follow.
