ANGER AND EXCITEMENT IN LONDON.
THE BRITISH BACKDOwN IN THE EAST DE-
NOUNCED ON ALL SIDES.

London. Feb. 2-"The Times's' Talien-Wan
announcement created much surprise and ex-
element among politicians and was eagerly dis
cussed at the clubs. The Liberals vigorously
denounced the reported backdown Of the British
Government, while the Conservative members or
the House did not conceal their bitter disap-
pointment Many declined to credit the report
until 1t is officially confirmed and prominent
Conservative this afternoon offered a Liberal
opponent to pay a substantial sum to A public
charity II the backdown confirmed. The
Liberals declare it would be a humiliating sur
render to Russia and a severe blow TO British
interests ard prestige.
The members of the late Cabinet are already
communicating with each other with the view
of using the matter as a point Of an attack upon
the Government during the debate upon the
Queens speech at the reassembling OF Parlia-
ment
An official statement on the subject just is
sued. is follows:
NO communication can at present be pub
lished concerning The Tlmes's Lalien-Wan
report or the negotiations as a whole. The
negotiations thus far absolutely coniden-
tiai. Many kilograms from China contain state
ments not merely going far beyond the Gov
ernments information, but in some instances
quite at variance with known facts"
The afternoon newspapers, to-day. comment
in the most severe terms upon the alleged with
drawal of Great Britains demand for the open
ing OF the port Of Taen- Wan. Some of them
refuse 10 credit the report. The Globe says:
NO wonder that the opponents OF the Ministry
regard il az a national humiliation when It's
supporters unable 70 md a reasonable eX-
cuse for IT, The public was led TO believe that
Sir Michael Hicks Beach and other Cabinet
Ministers meant what they said 80 the Ministers
have only themselves to thank If they lose pres
tige at home and abroad through the with
drawal of the Taen-Wan demand. England,
with her vast naval strength and enormous re-
sources has the game in her own hands If the
Ministers vii! oaly play it with the necessary
spirit
4 wave Of Indignation has swept over the
press throughout the country at Lord Sails
burv's alleged backdOwn at Talien-Wan. Con-
servatives no Jess than Liberals bewail the
supposed retreat from an unassailable position

the United States and Japan might safely nave
