Mikada Suggests How His Country May Protect tts Neighbor’s Inter- ests, (Victoria Colonist. ) The text of some highly interesting correspondence between the Emperor of China and the’ Emperor of Japan, in which the former makes an appeal forthe aid of Japan, and the latter country promises assistance providing the Boxer rebe'lion is suppressed and the ministers given safe escort, when the time of settlement comes, was re- ceived by the R. M.S. Eaapress of Japan. The message of the Emper- or ot China, which is dated from Pekin on July 3, 18 as follows: “The Great Emperor of China ten- ders respect to the Great Emperor of Japan. China has a close relation with Japan, such as teeth iaso lips, and bears warm friendship toward her. ‘The powers suspected that the Court hates Christians by the people’s slaugh- ter of Christians, and they occupied the Taku forts. Hostilities were then opened and the general outlook be- comes more and more disturbed. We are of the opinion that the Western powers are at present ‘rivals, while Japan and China hold the balance of power in the Far East. Those coun- tries which are awaiting their chance to secure new possessions are wa:ch- ing notonly Chinain the Far East. Should China fail to successfuly op- pose the Western invaders, Japan may have her independence threatened. Thus China and Japan stand on the same footing. We should cast aside ary small differences and try to pre- serve the continued mational existence of our two countries. ‘China is now fully occupied in despatching troops for the suppression of the rioters, and an alliance with the country whose destiny lies along the same lines as hers will succeed in dispelling the troubles and restoring ord: “We tnerefore in all sincerity send our good wishes and appealto the Great Emperor of Japan to take meas- ures to restore affairs te their normal condition by facing the difficulty—lit erally taking the bull 4y the horns. We waitin expectation ofa prompt and favorable response. “June 7 (July 3.)” TME MIKADO’S REPLY. “The great Emperor of Japam re- turns his wishes to the great Emperor ot China. We had received the report of the murder of Under Secretary Sugiyama recently, but weze not able to confirm the report. Webhave re- ceived the great Emperor's message by telegram, and are deeply concerned in the confirmation therein stated. The rioters in North China became more active day by day, and they prce ceed in their own courses without hindrance. We hear that the foreign ministers and their suites in Pekin are invested and attacked by the rioters, ard also that a certain minister has beea murdered by them. The imper- ial troOps are able neither to protect the foreign ministers nor to suppress the rioters. “International law says that the persons of diplomatists are almost sacred and may not be _ insulted. Should slight offence take place to- wards them it already constitutes a violation of that international law; much the more so is_ it when one of them is murdered. If the Chinese government is not in operation with the rioters matters can beeasily set- tled without difficulty.

This step is solely taken to suppress the rioters and to relieve the ministers, and there is no other aim in view what ever. “If the Chinese government proper- ly relieves the foreign ministers before the foreign troops undertake the task, it will show that the Chinese govern- ment is not inclined to undertake open hostilities with the powers, and disaster impending on the Chinese goverement may thereby be averted. ‘fhe Japan- ese government has enjoyed cordial re- lations with the Chinese government, and Japan shall not hesitate to assist China if necessary. Ifthe Chinese government will take efforts to effect the prompt suppression of the rioters and to relieve the foreign ministers, Japam shall protect the interests of —- ee ee aT cy and be ready to defend to the last drop of blood China and our faithful people.” ——— The third degree, dated June 27, is even more self-sufficient and preposter ous. It says: “Our dynasty, which has now existed for more than 250 years, has long bezn recognized for benevolence and virtuous acts. Act- ing on the lines ef our ancestors we have received foreigners and allowed them ‘0 live and trade here, always in- sisting On their courteous treatment. Their religion we have allowed them |to propagate, our conviction being that no harm came of earnest teaching. But they have not kept faith. They have trespassed on our dominion rights, tbey have tryannized over our people and have even gone so far as to annex portions of the king- dom and set up their own i!l-measured administrations.

He has given us hints to that effect twice, and even shown us osenta tiously how it may be done; but each time we have blundered by attacking on the outer flanks of commandoes separated fr.m each other by a distance of fitteen or twenty miles, and thereby gained nothing except honor for indivi dual regiments or brigades. Botha is still waiting to be caught, but his con- ditions are that he must be caught fighting, and for his own reputation’s sake he will make the best of any posi- tiun in which he may find himself when attacked. ———-— ee ae — Fragrant } The “Albert” Baby’s Own | Soap Is specially recommended by many family physicians, for nursery use.
