from the very large attendance at
the funeral which was held at llel-

communications the announcement
has been definitely made that the
bankers of Great Britain, the United
States, France, Germany, Russia,
and Japan have agreed to lend the
Chinese Government three hundred
million dollars to enable it to pay off
the troops employed in the late revo-
lution, says the Toronto Globe, and
to put. the public finances in a sound
condition. China has to submit to
conditions that would be both Omar#
ous and odious to 3 solvent Govern-
ment, but the first four out of the six
powers are friendly, and they may be
trusted to see that Russia and Japan
get no more advantage out of the
transaction than is properly coming
to them. Part of the understanding
finally arrived at is that political
conditions and problems are by com-,
mon consent lclt entirely out of the

It appears quite clear lrom recent
deepatehes that, while a considerable.
sum must be advanced at once in or-
der to get rid of unemployed and un-
necessary military contlngents, which
are 5 source of danger to the Chinese
Government, the remainder of the
loan will have to be dealt out by
somewhat slow degrees. Many claims
for payment will have to be investi-
gated before acceptance, fand much
consideration will have to be given
before a basis of permanent military
organization can be reached. It is
hardly too much to say that the
slower the progress made just now
under the tutelage of the friendly
powers the more likely is the Chinese
political organization to prove en-
during. It is safe to cite this politi-
co-tinsncial international agreement
as a potent guarantee of general
Peace.
