! suppress disorders and seeking time TO
deal with the antl-foreign movement, and
that precipiiate action on the part of the

/ might overthrow the Manchu dynasty
| The panicky feeling existing in Pekin is
made known here by urgent telegrams sent
| through the Chinese embassy, imploring
| Lord Salisbury 10 instruct Sir John Wal
/ sham, British minister to China, to adopt
more friendly attitude. Minister Wal
| sham advises the foreign Office that per-
sistent diplomatic pressure, combined
with a naval demonstration at certain
| treaty ports, will be the only
| effective means 10 prevent recur-
rent outrages. He complains that
/ promulgution of the emperor's edict
| against attacks on foreigners has been un-
necessarily delayed. He asked the off,
cials TO use the telegraph in publishing the
edict. but the officials refused. saying
there was no precedent for doing So and
| the edict must be distributed by ordinary
| couriers. The minister also complains of
/ the uncertainty of punishment OF the real

| Walsham's policy the powers will actively
