ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
Alarmist Reports Of Serious Diplo.
matte Tension-British Admiralty
Preparing to Mobilize It's Fleet. IS

London, Aug. s.-That extreme d.
plomatic tension exists between St.
Petersburg and London was generally
admitted Saturday, though the Off
Gals deprecate the alarmist reports
which were current Friday. It is hoped
that the frmer stand adopted by the
marquis of Salisbury during the last
few days, which seems to have al
ready created some misgiving at St.
Petersburg, will have the desired effect
of arresting Russian aggressiveness.
1t is felt both here and on the CONT
nent that the outcome of the dispute
in regard to the New Chwang railroad
extension is the crucial point of the
success or failure of Great Britain 3
policy of the "open door"
AS evidence of the fact that Great
Britain appreciates the gravity of the
situation, it is learned that the admi-
rally is preparing for all emergencies,
and that it will soon be ready to mob
'ilize.
There has been considerable discus
sion in parlia ment over the new situa-
ton in China, similar to that which
arose when Russia vetoed the loan
from the British government. This
time the complications are caused by
the contract for the loan which the
Hong-K and Shanghai bank wishes
to make TO the Chinese government for
railway between Tein-Tsin and New
Chwang, both treaty ports. The Rus
sian minister has been objecting siren
uously for six weeks, and Lord Sails
bury has offered China a guarantee
against Russia.
1t seems entirely clear that Russia
is interfering with British rights Sc
cured by the treaty of Tien-Tsin. The
obvious criticism upon Lord Sails
bury's method is that the offer of a
guarantee to Picking, which China does
not like to accept, is less direct rem
edy than a determined remonstrance
through the British ambassador at
ST. Petersburg would be.
London, Aug. S.-The Shanghai COR
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
Russia is now practically in possession
of New Chwang, and "the open door" in
North China is already Shut.
The correspondent of the Daily News
at Odessa gives, under reserve, report
that the Russian charge d'affaires at
Picking, NJ. Pavloff, will soon be re-
moved, and he regards it as indicating
Russian backdown.
