THE FRANco.cH1NEsE DIFFICULTY.
The Times editorially says it sees
but slight hope in the success of
Young's mediation iu Chinese matters.
It says: His ready sympathy with L..
Hung Chang showed more kindness of
heart than diplomatic talent. If the
settlement of the pending difficulties
depended on Youug's first efforts France
would need even q credit far in excess of
ten millions of francs. France has de-
manded maximum indemnity. but will
take less. If the question of indemnity
was the only one involved
We might anticipate an early armistice
or lasting peace, but it Is evident that if
L. Hung Chang really used the defiant
words reported, China is thoroughly
aroused by the treatment she received
from France. Aware of the difficult
position OF France at home, Ferry does
not want long war, and he would find
it difficult to get the chambers to vote
the money required. His danger is
China. and not to agree to patch up an
informal peace.
