In view of these “excursions and

alarms," it may be well to recall the course of events in the Far East during -the past low years. On July 31, 1&4, war was formally declared by Japan against

lighting by land and sea went steadily ln favor of the J apanese,who, indeed,carried all before them. In May, 1895, the treaty of Shimono seki, negotiated by Ll Hung

was ratified, and brought peace asbe-

Japan, under pressure from Russia, France and Germany, relinquished Port Arthur and the tcrrilory she had occupied on the mainland. Germany was the first of China's disinteres‘ed protectors to profit hy her weakness. The murder f two German missionaries in Shang-Tung gave Germanyn pretext for landing it force ot Kino-Chau in November 1897, and demanding mining and railway privileges in the Shung-Tung Province. Prince Henry of Prussia was sent to Ohinnincommand of a German bittle' ship, as the Emperor expressed it, to strike with his “mailed dst," if necessary. Then on December 18, 1897, there appear ed an official apnouncement which herald- ed much. It was that the Russian fleet, by permission of China, would winter at Port Arthur. On February 22, 1893, come the news that the Chinese Government

Nex', ihe world heard Lhat Chinn had practically handed over the peninsula to Russia, and had

The first act of a prolonged drama had tnus been the war intween China and Japan, the second the scramble for territory following it, and thlrdly, in the summer of 1900 came the “Boxer” rising.
