CHINA CONCILIATORY
Compensation Offered to Injured
Foreigners.
LETTER FROM MR.. GLADSTONE.
Salisbury's Foreign Policy Censured-If the
Liberals Come in, Egypt Will be Evacuated
No Release for Mrs. Maybrick.

LONDON, Sept 25.-[ Copyright 1891, by |
the New York Associated Press. Com
munications from the Pekin government
offering compensation to foreigners who |
have suffered in the recent riots in China,
with the strongest assurances of future
protection, are received with distrust in
the foreign office here. Han Ching Chang,
Chinese ambassador to European courts,
has recently been in st. Petersburg, where
he succeeded IN inducing the Russian gov
eminent to withdraw from the joint action
projected by the powers. He arrived in
Berlin To-day with view of trying to in
f1uence Chancellor Won Caprivi, but it is
certain he will not alter the determine
ton of the German government to
corporate with the British in taking
decisive measures. The Pekin note as given
to the papers fails to indicate the real char
acter of the appeal made by Han Ching
Chang to the European governments. He
has urged the imperial government was
entirely honest in desiring to suppress
disorder and seeking time to deal with the
anti-forelgn movement, and that pre-
| cipitate action on the part of the powers
would defeat their object and bring China
into anarchy. His communications dis
tinctly suggest the probability Of such po-
tent political upheaval in China as might
over brow the Manchu dynasty.
The panicky feeling existing in Pekiu is
made known here by an urgent telegram
sent through the Chinese embassy implor-
ing Lord Salisbury to instruct Sir John
Walsham, British minister to China, to
adopt more friendly attitude. Minister
Walsham advises the foreign office that
persistent diplomatic pressure, combined
| ,r,if of oartaip
treaty ports, will be the only effective
means to prevent recurrent outrages. He
complains that the PRONUNCIATION of the
Emperor's edict against attacks on
foreigners has been unnecessarily
delayed. He asked the officials 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 or
binary couriers. The minister also COM
} plains of the uncertainty of the punish
ment of the real leaders of the outrages If
Lord Salisbury supports Minister Wal
snam's policy, the powers will actively in
tervene in order to protect Europeans,
, leaving the Tartar dynasty to take care of
itself. In spite Of the chaotic state Of the
present troubles the foreign Office here
} hopes the ultimate result will be an extern
sion of trade to the important centers On
the Yang tes- Kiang which are now closed
but where the government aims to estab-
lish consuls.
/ Gladstone's coming deliverance at the
/ Liberal Federation meeting is invested
/ with further Importance by the announce
uent that he Intends to review Lore
3 Salisbury's wrong policy and declare wha
, his own will be if he should again be placed
+ in power. The federation proceedings are
i not likely to astonish the world with any
Y startling variations from the cut and driec
| hpt If aynaptatiOn
= rect Gladstone will make the meeting
y memorable by statement of
: foreign policy committing the Liberals t.
d a line of action directly opposed T.
n that of Lord Salisbury. Morley ha
t already declared the next Gladstone admin
l. istration will accomplish the evacuation o
r Egypt with the least possible delay.
d A letters from Gladstone to the Servia
u politician Yovomovitch, which will appea
in to-morrow's issue of the Speaker, ar
g. likely to cause a sensation in Europe, q
they show the widest possible divergenc
y between the Liberal and the present Con
servative policy. MIR. Gladstone advocate
W the closest harmony among the Balka
TO states; repudiates Salisbury's diplomacy a
es tending towards the supremacy of Bull
in garia over the other states, and adds b
re- feels warmly with the lately subjected pol
"A ulations of southwestern Europe. The las
S. phrase can only apply to Austria's takin
d. possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Th
1e letter is interpreted to mean Gladston
to desires to GUST the Austrians from Bosni
40 and support the formation of
ne federation Of Balkan states. GlaC
ga stone Liberals continue to arrange fl
an the future on the supposed certainty
their being in power by the autumn
1892. The conservatives now talk of pos
poning the general election until the r,
hottest legal period, which will be Apr
