SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO THB EXAMINER. THE CHINESE PROBLEM. Britain's Policy as Stated by the Times. NOT PARTITION OF EMPIRE BUT DEVELGPMENT OF TRADE. England Warts no Chinese Territory. Loxpox, Jan. 5.—The Times comment= ing editorially upon the statement of the Colegne Guzette that, since Thursday last, negotiations have been proceeding in Lon- don for a Chinese !oan upon the proposed senrity of aland tax and the cession of territorv, denies that Engiaud has apy intention to demand territory or to take the lead in the partition of China. England’s pe-icy, on the contary, it says aims at maintaining the Chinese Empire as a going concern avd a vast field for the extension of trade. In pur- suing this policy we are glad to nvote that Ergiand enjoys the powerful support of the United States government as well as the public opinion of that portion of the American people which is not swayed by blind jingo deaunciations. The editorial considers the government of Great Britain would be justified even in incurring reasonable financial risks, which might formerly be properly regard- ed as outside the scope of government actions, in order to combat the measures restrictive of trade which Russia and Germavy; are seeking to obtain from Chinain the shape ,of railways and mining monopolies and the like. —— Complications Feared. -—- Loxpon, Jan. 5.—The cruiser Arrogant has been ordered to prepare ior sea. It is supposed that she will proceed to Chi- nese wacers. The North German Gazette thinks that the presence of British warships at Port Arthur mav lead to complications.

They are specially dissapointed at the fact that the government appears to be satisfied that the so-called Weyler bubble has been burst, and that the Spanieh army is not gangrened. It is said that only three of the Spanish generals are in sympathy with General Weyler. The gove:nment will send 5,000 troops to Cuba at the end of January and further troops up to 14,000 will be sent to the island if needed.

A wise man’s mistakes are the capital of his expericnce. If our eyes were brighter, would be brighter. Disposition is the mint that coins our comforts or their counterfeits. Some people are baptized simply to hear the world say, ‘‘Oh, how pious!’’ The man who will do good as often as he has opportunity will be busy every day. ‘The greatest dceds are done by those who are the ieast conscious that they are great. The man who knows nothing except what he has learned from bools is poorly educated.—-Ram’s Horn.
