The CHINESE LOAN.
Probabilities Said to Point to Settlement
Beneficial to ENGLAND. China and Japan.

PROBABILITIES Said to Point to Settlement
Beneficial to England, China and Japan.
London, Jan. S.-The cabinet will meet
today, presumably to decide about the
Chinese loan. The Standard, in an i'm
portant editorial, apparently inspired,
says:
For the present it must suffice to
say that China has made earnest over
lures for Great Britain's good Offices,
and that Lord Salisbury is giving the
closest attention to the matter in its
practical aspects, The probabilities point
to a settlement which, without involv-
Ing undue risk to the British eXchequer,
will secure for England advantages the
value of which cannot be appraised in
mere monetary terms
The editorial proceeds to state that
the loan will be partly devoted to pay
ing the Japanese indemnity, and twill
thus make the emperor of China again
master in his own house, while enabling
the mikado so to increase his army and
fleet as to render Japan a power that
the strongest western state cannot af-
ford to affront."
The editorial declares: 1T is the COM
mon policy of England and Japan to
bring the commercial development of
China into harmony with its territorial
integrity; and in pursuance of this pol
icy, the cordial cooperation Of the
United States may be presumed"
With reference to difficulties in the
way of a British guarantee loan, the ed
itorial says: Happily, there is no alb
solute dearth of eXpedtents."
