LONDON, Jan. 7.--Acoording TO a spe-
cial dispatch from Shanghai, Russia is
endeavoring to obtain terms similar to
Germany's for the occupation of Port
Arthur and the Lao Tong peninsula
from a point considerably north of TIA
Lien Wan. II Is believed that the at
tltude Of England and Japan will frus-
trate her designs.
The Hongkong correspondent OF The
Daily Chronicle says, THE Russian oc-
cupation OF Port ArthWr completely
blocks the entrance to Peklng, and Il II
imperative that the court should be
transferred 10 Nankln. the southern
capital"
According To a special dispatch from
Shanghai the existence OF an Anglo-
Japanese alliance is openly asserted
there IN well informed quarters. an al
lance TO maintain the status quo in
China and Korea and TO declare the In
dependence of Korea under the Joint
guarantee OF England Russia and Ja>
pan.
The Daily Graphic publishes dis
patch from Baron Hayashl Tadasou.
Japanese ambassador TO Russia, TO the
Japanese government intimating, on
the authority of the German embassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, Prince Won Ra-
dolin, that no understanding existed be-
tween Germany and Russia with refer
ence TO the occupation of Kiao Chau.
The Times says this morning Il un-
derstands the term of Germany's lease
Of Kiao Chau 10 be 80 instead of 90
years.
A dispatch TO The Times from Peking
says; "Under the agreement between
Baron neyking. German ambassador TO
China. and Prince Kung. president of
the tsung II. yamen, Germany will pay
a nominal annual rental for Kiao Chau.
She acquires the right TO begin forth
with the construction of a dock and a
fortified coaling station. The belief in
an early French occupation OF Hainan
island is general here"

BERLIN, Jan. THE German press
Is indulging in tone Of extravagant
self satisfaction over the success OF
German diplomacy in China. The fact
that Emperor William personally con-
ferred the Order OF the Red Eagle upon
Baron Won Bulow. the German foreign
minister, for his share In the affair in
dicates that the emperor is delighted
with the outcome OF his policy.
The newspapers. with the exception
OF The Vosssche Zeitung. are full OF
sneering remarks at England's expense.
The Vossische Zeitung. however. points
out that there Is plenty Of room for ev-
erybody and even suggests that the
time has arrived for a better under
standing between England and Ger
many"
The rather apoiogetic tone Of The
North German Gazette, In its semiofh-
cial article Thursday. seems TO be re-
nection Of the feeling I'm some quarters
that tho acquisition Of n coaling station
Is hardly the realization OF the great
colonial enterprise which the blaze OF
Prince Henrys departure foreshadow-

that Kiao Chau might prove unsuitable
