that the government was not able to
guarantee protection to the foreign resi-
dents at the treaty ports and the mis-
sionsries in the interior of the country.
The minister, In the same dispatch, states
that the Chinese Imperial council was

Real Reason Given.

MANCHESTER, England, Oct. 5-The
Guardian, in its issue today, says the
ministerial council of yesterday was sums
moned for the purpose of authorizing q
show of force on the part of Eogland q
compel japan in case OF the collapse Of
China to make the settlement of the
trouble between Japan and China an in
ternational one, and not merely q
japanese affair. In this stand England
Is backed up by Russia, Germany and
France. Japan, that paper says, in her
present mood, will pay no beed to the
representations of the powers unless
backed up by tangible evidence OF an
intention to force them. The Globe and
Gazetts also say the Guardians article
gives the real reason for the nesting of
