THE EASTERN SITUATION.
Week drags on after week and the sit-
uation in China is as dark and impene- trable a mystery as before. It is now known that the horrifying details of the massacres of the foreign legations and colony at Pekin given forth recently were pure fabrications of the sensational press. But this knowledge is coupled with the fear, amounting to a probability, that a tragedy quite as fearful as that imagina- tively described has actually occurred. It is improbable that any of the foreign Ministers at Pekin are now alive. If they are living, why are they not permitted to
ernments?
The communications from Li Hung
\Va.shington have the same story. But But,f,er(f1-ésh) pe,-`1`5f__ffff_f° they also express the belief that should __g’l;‘;€l’;;;’;' Butter ~ ° ' ~ ' ' - - ~ - ~-- theallied forces attempt to reach Pekin Cabbage iperidozh) ' I ` ' ' ' ' ' ' `H '
the foreign Ministers and all other Euro- EggS_ _ _
peans or Americans in Pekin would be slain before the relief could reach them.
This attitude of the Chinese rep resenta- tives looks like aruse to gain time and put off t-he day of retribution for a. massacre
already accomplished.
The allies are now in considerable force
at Tien Tsin, but it is said their numbers
are not yet suilicient to justify an ad- vance. To some minds there fare other causes for the delay and apparent inac-
tion. Among these causes is mutual jeal-
ousybetween the powers, and the foot that theirrespective forces at Tien Tsin
and between that pointfand Taku are very unequal. Though there 3-F9 9i2l'1l3 Dowers nominally concerned,the bulk of theava.il_
able troops belong to Japan and Russia.
These two powers are notoriously hostile to each other and their interests conflict aCute1y_ Britain is hurrying forward troops from Indie- Ge1'manY has 10,000 men on the wayfr0'-U h°‘“e» and it will be weeks yet before they can arrive,
Germany moreover, has the certainty
that hel. Minister at Pekin has been slain, for so much has been confessed by the Chinese officials. Germany therefore has in one Way the S‘°"°"8@St possible motivator immediate and energetic ac. tion but has very few troops on the
ground. At the same time, because the worst has already happened, and because there is no longer any suspense in her case, Germany can best afford to wait till her troops reach China. Probably no one of the European powers would care to have their wrongs redress ed wholly by the veneered semi-barbarism of Japan, and most of them would not like to have
Pekin captured and China -humiliated
mainly by force of Japan and Russia to- gether. All the powers are naturally fan-
xious to assert their power, redress their national honor and avenge their wrongs
at Pekin by means of their own forces.
It would not sustain or enhance the
‘Jprestige of Britain, France or Germany
if aRussinn, or Japanese army were to speedily capture Pekin. On the contrary the powers whose forces captured and occupied the Chinese capital, if in advance of the others or weakly supported by
must follow. Donbtless considerations

t e warm ut rica correspon en writing to a contemporary, tells the story of a visit paid by a frleudofhis to u work
sham mementoesaze already being turned out, and in the gross. The visitor was amused to note that the workpeople of
speed paper-knives,pincushions, cigarette boxes and match boxes, the majority of which were marked with the seductive le- gend, “Made of wood grown at Lady- smith.” Some, however, bore the mark of “The Modder," others of “Kimberley," “Be1mont"and “Gras Pan," while with commercial coniidencein the omnipotence of British arms, there were relics marked with wood taken from “Mafeking" and “Pretoria..” Directly the war is over, these masquerading relics are to be shipped to England, and we may be sure that many
an innocent parent will hand down to his heirs a Mafeking match box, or a. Pretoria

r ec 8 Russia‘s New Cruiser.
Bosrox, July 26.-The new Russian
I cruiser Varia.g,wliich was givenherrbuilcl- ers’tria.1 off the New England coast to-day developed n. maximum speed of 24.65 knots with 154.30 revolutions of her propellers. The trial, which was held primarily for the purpose of standardizing the screws, resulted in fixing the number of ie- velutions at153 as requisite to produce the Ziknots, which is callcd for hy the con- tract between the builders and the Russian government. That she attained a speed of 24.65 knots is taken _as a promise of even a better showing on her speed trial later,beca.use at no time to-day was she under forced draught. Her en- gines developed 20,00fJ horsepower during the test. On the last leg of her course the cruiser ran into a storm and her builders being satisfied with her showing, did not take note of the figures on that leg. E. S. Cramp, representing the build- ers of the Variag, expressei satisfaction with the showing made by the vessel to- day. The cruiser will rest in Boston har- bor until Saturday, when she will start
pe 1 o w ve consecu ve ours en route.
