APPROVED BY CHINA.

Persuaded That the Occupation of Port
Arthur Was in Her Interest.
LONDON, Dec. 20-The correspondent
of The Times at Pekin says: "China
approves OF the Russian fleet wintering
at Port Arthur, being persuaded that
this action is taken in the interest OF
China and necessitated by the German
occupation of Kiao-Chau."
A dispatch to The Times from
Shanghai says the occupation of Port
Arthur by Russia cannot fail to provoke
popular indignation in Japan, where
public opinion is already excited over
the Kiao-Chau affair.
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Shanghai the high officials
OF the Chinese court have advised the
emperor, in view of further complica.
tons, to remove the court to Marking,
the Southern capital. The dispatch
says it is reported there that overtures
have been made to England to exercise
protection over the Yang-Tse valley
and the West river, and that numerous
rumors are current regarding the activ'
ity of the British squadron in Chinese
waters.
The Standard and Daily Telegraph
and other London papers strongly urge
the government to protect England
interests in China.

RuSSia'S Action at Port Arthur
Regarded by Some as the
Second Step.
General European View That
the Occupation Will Be
Permanent.
China Given. to Understand
the Move Was for Her
Protection.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-Telegrams from
all the continental capitals show that
Russia's step at Port Arthur is regarded
as tantamount as permanent occupa-
ton and reply to Germany's action.
A well informed st. Petersburg COR
respondent says there was no agree
ment between Russia and Germany
and that the latter simply warned
Russia when the occupation of Kiao-
Chau was already decided upon.
The Novoe Vremya pretends that
Japan has no cause for complaint,
''sInce China is only giving the same
shelter to Russia ships as Japan had
hitherto so kindly afforded"
This view is not held in Berlin,
where the papers are already talking OF
the possibility of Prince Henry hav-
ing to
Shake His Mailed Fist at Japan,
that is supposed to be secretly backed
up by England. Some of the Berlin
papers express anxiety, but most OF
them welcome the news from Port
Arthur as justifying the German posi-.
ton at Kiao- Chau, if not as actual evi.
dence that Russia and Germany are
acting together. Curiously enough
Emperor William visited the Russian
ambassador ON Friday night on his re.
turn from Kiel. The visit lasted an
hour. There is no doubt now that the
emperor and the ambassador discussed
Chinese affairs.
The Paris papers, without pretending
to be deceived by Russia's innocent ex
plantations, are pleased with the action
of the ally of France.
The burden of Viennese comment is,
what will England do?
