AN INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENT.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-The 81. James Gazette
says the interests of England. France
and Russia are closely involved in the
possible breaking up of the Chinese EN-
plre, and 1t is believed that Russia has
signitied that she cannot. any longer re-
gard the progress of events in the far
east with indifference.
/ The Manchester Guardian is informed
that Russia and Great Britain have de-
nitely decided that the settlement of the
war must be an international and not
| Japanese affair.
| Germany and France are said to have
/ acqulesced to this decision, while the
/ policy OF the United States is still re-
| garded as uncertain.
Russia, according to the Gud7di07l has
already warned Japan that the future of
| COrea concerns the Russian Government.
Japan, IN her present mood, will pay no
! heed to the representations made by the
| powers, unless they be accompanied by
tangible evidence OF an intention to back
them up.
1t was to authorize this, according to
the CFHdFdid3J, that the Ministerial COun-
Gil was summoned. 1t further says alter
a showing OF force Japan would be told
| that Great Britain desired that an armis-
tice be established, and Great Britain, on
behat OF Europe, would Immediately
call an International conference
The GtO6c and 81. James Gazette express
the opinion that the G}lardja1l's article
gives tne reaL reason Tor the meeting OF
| the Ministers.
The Post says the present position of
China cannot be lightly regarded. If
that empire is broken up or it's position
lmperIled the outlook would be ex-
tremely grave. Hitherto we have been
accustomed to regard China as an ally,
ana we have trenChant agreements with
her which require close attention. Lii
Hung Chang IS the only man of emf
nence In China capable Of advising the
Emperor at this juncture. He deserves
any aid that England can afford him in
the effort to save his country from the
| terrible dangers with which it is men,
aced.
The Graphic says: 1t is time halt was
called by the European Powers inter-
| ested in keeping the peace. Neither
Great Britain nor Russia can wish to see
China permanently crippled by the
Japanese. y state of chaos in the former
empire would raise problems that might
set the world ablaze.
BRITISH INTERVENTION.
PARIS, Oct. 5.-The GUu{ois saws that
British intervention in the Corean trou-
bic might cause a repetition of the IA
nous coup Of 1878, which enabled Ad-
miral Lord John Hay to take possession
of the Island of Cyprus
The Figaro, referring to the same sub
jeCt, remarks: The British, once landed
In China, would not be able to resist the
desire to exercise pressure upon the
Japanese to prevent them from deriving
all the advantages of victory. Trout bles
may then commence and the peace OF
Europe be threatened, for Russia, France
and even America will certainly inter
fere."
