OF the German government
20 cooperate with the British in taking de-
tisive measures. The Pekin note as given
10 the papers fails to indicate the real char
hcter of the appeal made by Hau Ching
Chang to the European governments. He
has urged that the imperial government
was entirely honest in desiring to suppress
disorders and in seeking time to deal with
The anti foreign movement, and that pre-
cipitate action on the part Of the powers
would defeat that object and bring China
into anarchy. His communications dis
tinctly suggest the probability Of such
potent political upheaval in China as
might overthrow the Manchu dynasty.
The panicky feeling existing in China is
made known here by an urgent telegram
sent through the Chinese embassy, implor-
ling Lord Salisbury to instruct Sir John
Walsham, British minister to China, to
ndopt moro friendly attitude. Minister
Walsham advises the foreign office that
persistent diplomatic pressure, combined
with naval aldemonstration at certain treaty
ports. will b. the only effective means to pre-
vent the recurrence Of outrages, He COM
plains that the promulgation of the empsr--
org edict against attacks on foreigners had
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 40. and
shat the edict must be distributed by ordi-
nary couriers. The minister also complains
OF the uncertainty Of the punishment of the
real leaders Of the outrages. II Lord Sails
bury supports Minister Walsham's policy
the powers will actively intervene in order
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 the extension of trade to the I'M
portant centres of Yang Te Kiang, which
nre now closed, but where the government
aims to establish consuls.
Gladstone's coming deliverance at the
liberal federation meeting is invested with
further Importance by the announcement
that he intends to review Lord Salisbury's
foreign policy and declare what bis own
power. The federation proceedings are not
likely to astonish the world with any start
+ ling variation from the cut-and-dried pro-
gramme, but If expectation proves correct
+ Gladstone will make the meeting memoir
able BY his statement OF foreign policy,
committing the liberals to line of action
dinctly opposed to that Of Lord Salisbury.
Morley has already declared that the next
Gladstone administration will accomplish
tho evacuation Of Egypt with the least pos
Letters from Gladstone to the servian
politician, Yovowovitch, which will appear

Europe, as they show the widest
possible divergence between the liberals
and the present conservative policy. Mr..
Gladstone advocates the closest harmony
among Balkan states; repudiates Salisbury'e
diplomacy, as tending towards the su-
premacy Of Bulgaria over the other states,
and adds that he feels warmly with the
lately subjected populations of south
western Europe. The last phrase can only
and Herzegovina. The letters are inter
preted to mean that Gladstone desire6 tc
Gust the Austrinns from Bosnia and sup
port the formation of federation of the
Balkan states.
The Gladstone liberals continue to ar.
tainty of their being in power BY the
autumn of 1892. The conservatives nov
talk OF postponing the general elections
until the remotest legal period, which vii
be April, 1898, in order to enable tho gov
ernment to get the Irish local government
in working order.
Economic experts agree that the net addi

The appeals of the friends of Austir
Bidwel to Home Secretary Matthews 4
remit the remainder of Bidwell's term o
imprisonment have failed, in spite of th'
fact that they were supported by high intlu
ence. Secretary Matthews refuses even t.
reply to the memorial. The efforts to se
cure the release Of Mrs. Maybrick VIII b'
equally futile. Tho convicts solicitor Ia

open the case in any form.
