"Chinese Gordon" is always quoted tte the great authority on the subject of the wrongs of King Johannes; hut it is strange at the least that those who make this appeal to his. authority should emit all reference to the very dieparaging opinion he formed of King Johannes, who, after all, is only a usurper, if for the time sue - easeful. As " justice to Abyssinia" may. very possibly be the next ory of the policy of sentiment, General Gordon's opinion in 1879 of this ruler's elearaoter should ,be, remembered : " The king is rapidly' growing- mad.
