gar greed OF power or gain. The United

east and west. as a great deliverer. To
deal with this occasion by talking about

preserve the untainted and unchanged re-
public as 1t came to US from the fathers.
''In my opinion we are today in a great
danger-a greater danger than we have
encountered since the pilgrims landed at
Plymouth. The danger is that we are

II for one am not dazzled by the ex-
ample OF England. The invitations OF
England, which have enabled her to cover
successfully distant colonies and subject
states. are founded, as Mr.. Gladstone
pointed out, on the doctrine Of equality.
II we are to outstrip England in national

NO british BACKDOwN.
Opening of Ta-Lien-Wan Not n Sine
Qua Non.

LONDON, February 3.-On incontro-
vertible authority, the Associated press
learns that Great Britain has not back
ed down on the question Of making Ia
Lien-Wan a free port.
The Marquis of Salisbury, Mr.. Curzon'
the Parliamentary Secretary of the For
eign Office: the Russian Ambassador,
and the Chinese Minister each said yes
terday. in conversation, that they had
not heard of any back-down.
The opening of Ta-Lien-Wan. II is point
ed out was never made a condition, IN
anv sine qua non sense, in connection
with the loan to China.
In the preliminary negotiations on that
subject the opening of Ta-Lien-Wan was
"sketched in neutral tints." Great Bril-
tain only suggesting IT as one condition
favoring a speedy completion OF the loan
She never demanded it. and therefore In
no sense can be said 10 have backed down
Il the desire was not persisted In.
The question of Ta-Lien-Wan is. how
ever. with other suggested conditions OF
the loan, still pending.
The heat of the Russian press on the
subject is in no sense shown by the Rus
sian Government in its communicatkpns'
which have reached the Foreign ONCE.
In spite Of the fact that Russia has
protested and means to protest In the
stoutest manner against Ta-Lien-Wan ans
being opened by British influence. she Will
not carry her protest to the point or
making il a casus belli. Further, 1t Is
bv no means Russia's intention to close
China TO other nations, in any conces-
slons made TO Russia by China.
The irritation in Great Britain ana
he Init Cd
over the so-called back down of the Mar
ouis of Salisbury is therefore not justified.
Great Britain is acting strenuously in
favor of free ports in China, and hopes
sincerely to have the moral support OF
the United States I'm this policy IL
events should push Great Britain from
this position, with the prospect OF defeat
therein. she will ask for the support OF
Washington.
