WASHINGTON LAUGHS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1898.-It was
stated in an authoritative quarter today
that Mr. Hays choice was due solely to
his general fitness for the position, and
was without reference to or consideration
of the Chinese question Beyond this no
official statement is made as to the policy
of the United States in the Far East, but
all the indications point to a continuance
of the past policy of protecting and fos-
tering our commercial interests, without
catering into alliances or joint undertake
ings which entail semi-political considera-
tions.
1t is fully recognized by the authorities
here that the commercial interests of
Great Britain and the United States are
on somewhat similar lines in the Far
East, and to that extent there doubtless
will be a mutually of action, but it can
not be learned that the negotiations be-
tween London and Washington have adj
vanced to the point Of any understand
ing of joint action.
It is matter of current comment how
ever, unofficial in character, but express
sive of general current of sentiment in
high quarters. that the American trade
in China and the Far East is advancing at
such giant strides that a policy is likely
to be matured at an early day suitable to
meet the exegencies created by the par
tial disembarkment of China and by the
spread of the foreign control owe
Chinese territory, concessions, coast ports
and commerce generally.
There is no doubt oyertures have been
made to have the United States take an
active hand in Chinese affairs, but SO far
as can be learned this has not led to a
determination on a new and more active
policy toward the Orient, although it
mas served to call attention to the great
extent of our interests there, eauallying
and in some case exceeding the trade in
terests of Great Britain, Russia and
other countries now actively conteTd:rs
for control of Chinese commerce.
Not long ago the British embassy here
made a report to the Foreign Office on the
growth of this American trade in China
pointing out in particular the importance
of the trade to the future development
of the Pacific coast States.

1--WE understand that United States Am
bassador Hays recall to Washington, to
accept the post of Secretary of State, is
due to his special fitness to carry out a
policy, in regard to which negotiations
have been proceeding for some time be-

which substantial agreement has been
reached whereby the two countries will
act together in the far east, or wherever
American and British interests are :denti-
