WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-It is under
stood that the authorities here have been
unofficially sounded as to the attitude Of
the United States toward the complica-
tions In the far East, with a view of
learning whether American interests in
China were regarded as sufficient to war
rant any active step by this government.
From what source the inquiries have
come is not disclosed. If from Great Brit
ain, it must have come through Col Hay,
the American Ambassador, as the Brit
ish officials here have received no instruc-
tions as to the Chinese situation.
1t Is well understood. however. that
Great Britain. would look with favor on
any active step by the United States
which would serve as a check for the
advances of Germany and Russia. The
British interests in China are ten times
greater than those of Germany, Russia
and the United States and yet, with Ger
many and Russia firmly located on Chi
nese soil, Great Britain Is left in a sort
of cui de sac.
1t is known also that the Chinese au-
thorities would welcome a movement by
the United States. and tnat this has been
communicated to officials here.
Although these soundings. for they
amount to nothing more as yet. have not
taken official form. they have been suffi-
cient to gain a pretty general understand
ing as to the attitude of this government.
This, In brief. is that the United States
has no interest in the territorial extension
now going on in China; that she will not
land at any Of the coast ports of China,
as Germany and Russia have done, and
that her only consideration is TO guard
established American interests In China.
Germanys occupation OF Chinese terri
tory has been officially reported upon by

chief Of the Asiatic station.

age Of silver Is certain. The position
of Senator Woicott as understood by
all those who realize the peculiar situa-
ton which has developed with respect TO

mission, Of which the Coloradan Is chair
man. is embarrassing. Either President
Mckinley and Secretary Gage are at va
rance, or Senator Wolcott and his SYM
pathizers are utterly deceived as to the
presidents attitude. Mr.. Wolcott, since
his return from Europe. has talked long
and earnestly with the president. and he
defends the president, while taking a po-
sition OF open antasonsm to Mr. Gage.
THE assertion is made by Mr. Wolcott's
sympathizers that Mr.. Gage misrepresents
the administration. and hat II IL were not
for a political disturbance 1t would cause
Mr. Gage to retire from the cabinet. This
statement, which is now made privately.
is likely to he made public before long.

ing the president will probably have 10
break with one or the other of them, and
unless he is misunderstood by the leaders
Of his party AMI the persons closest to
him, the break will not be with the secre-
tary OF the treasury.
The committee room Of Wolcott today
was besieged by those desiring contirma-
ton or denial OF the authenticity OF the
statement that he contemplated forward
ing his resignation TO the governor OF his
state unless the presidents approval Of Mr..
Cages plan should he less pronounced. No
satisfactory information was given 10 these
inquiries. Without making a definite state

and Great Britain Lapse.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The reciprocity
negotiations between the United States and
Germany are practically suspended. They
never got beyond the initial state. There
appears to have been a willingness on the
part of both governments TO look into the
matter, but there have been no material
concessions on either side.
The utmost extent OF reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Germany
under the present law would be 20 per
cent. reduction of duty on certain agreed
upon German products. Germany is chiefly
concerned about sugar. but the 20 per cent.
reduction in duty permitted under the
Dingley law, II is said. would be of insig-
nificant consequence. Moreover. some
doubt has arisen as 10 whether any ccnces-
sions on this article would be granted by
the United States. in view of the tendency
toward building up the American sugar
