indefinite Lease - Senator
Frye on tho Situntion.
Berlin, Jan. 6.-Thc Rcichsanzciger
announces that, according to n telegram
from Peking, an understanding has
been reached between Germany and
China regarding the session of Kluo
Chou bny to the former. The arrange
mcnt, 1t Is nddcd, IL substantially us
follows:
1t is intended by the ccssion to rem
der possible for Germany the fulfill
mcnt of her just wisl. for the posse ssiou,
in the same way us other powers, of
base for trade and navigation IN Chi
ncsc waters.
Tho crssion of Ki;Io Chou bny to Cor
many takes the form of lease for an
Indefinite time. Germany is at liberty
to erect on the redcd territory all the
necessary buildings nndcstnbls hmcnts,
and to take the measures required for
their protection.
Continuing, the Rrichsanzciscr says:
The coded territory comprises tho
whole Of the inner basin Of Kiau-Chuu
hny, so far MS the hiEl, water line, tho
larger hcadlunds situated south and
north OF the entrance of the bay. To tho
point where they are naturally bounu-
ed by mountain ranges, and also the is
lands sitnntcd within and in trout OF
the bay. No Obstacles arc to be raised
by China to my measures Germany
deems necessary for the regulation Of
the water courses. China has trans
ftrrrd to Germany, for II period not
stated in the telegram, IL lease Of all
sovereign rights over the coded terri
tory.
If for any cause Kino Chou bay should
prove unsuitable for the objects Ger
nlnny has in view, China, after nrriv-
Ing mt IN understanding with Ger
many, will crdc another piece Of terri
tory on the coast which Germany may
regard as more s,itnbe for her pur-
prsr.

The Pail Mall Gazette refers To the
"nsrcndcnry OF money over the mnlcd

Whole Story Not Told.
London. Jan. 6. The Times says, cd
itoriully: IT would be simple to AS
sumo That the Rrlrhsanzcigcr's dis
patch tells the whole story, for il quite
omits to say what China gets in return.
TO the world at large, however, the ma
tcrinl fact is hat Germany, by physical
force, has obtained II naval etntinn.
IIis is HE fn"t that must guide other
powers in determining their own pol
Icy. The talk of lease is n mere saw
ing of appearances There is no doubt
that both Germany and China arc
aware HAT 1t is II practical ccSsnu in
full sovereignty. II provides furt her
argument in favor of an English GUAR
