CRISIS IN CHINA.
The Lion and the Bear Are
Snarling at Each Other.

London, Aug. 6.-That extreme diplo-
matte tension exists between st. Pc
tersburg and London is generally ad-
mttted today though the officials de-
precate the alramist reports which were
current yesterday. It is hoped that the
ffrner stand adopted by the Marquis of
Salisbury during the last few days,
which seems to have already created
some misgiving at St. Petersburg will
have the desired effect of arresting
Russian aggressiveness.
It is felt both here and on the cOnti-
nent, that the outcome of the dispte in
regard to the NeWchwang railway en-
tension is the cruical point of the sue
cess or failure of Great Britain's policy
of the "Open door,"
AS evidence of the fact that Great
Britain appreciates the gravity of the
situation, the Associated Press learns
that the admiralty is preparing for all
emergencies, adm that it will soon be
ready to mobilize.

So far as concerns the legitimate
plays imported from America, they
have furnished each month or two of
interesting amusement and been shelved.
This years experiences have taught the
American managers that English tastes
