Dany Ne Sir,—In your columns hare been 1 allusions to the promotion of Li Ping-hong, ex-Governor of Shantung. Was not this man to h deposed for life, according nds made by Germany in November 1897? Why do we 38 a protest against this fo grant violation of the terms agreed upon? All nations re interested in this matter. Even here, among the untutored masses, it is whispered that is afraid to enforce the terms of murdered subjects. Te is ko Shantung that the old War Governor atill on the warpath a: gainst foreigners, and has been supplied feathers, if not with we press Dowager. If Germany at this time altogether holds her peace, deliverance may come from another quarter, but we should like to see her insisting upon a fulfilment of the terms agreed upon. This, if for no other reason; to show that foreign nations moan what they say, We have had enough empty threats from Italy. It will be refreshing to see some Foreign Power do something more than talk, Tam, ete., Fras n, 13th Morel
