Field For the Extension of Trade.
London, Jan. 5.--The Times, COM
menting upon the statement of the
Cologne Gazette that since last Thurs
day negotiations have been proceeding
in London for Chinese loan, upon the
proposed security of the land tax and
cession of territory denies that Eng
land has any intention to demand ter.
ritory or tn take the lead in the par
tition of China. 1t says:
"England's policy, on the contrary,
aims at maintaining the Chinese en-
pire as a going concern and vast
field for the extension of trade. In pur-
suing this policy we are glad to note
that England enjoys the powerful sup
port of the United States government,
as we'll as the public opinion of that
portion of the American people which
is not swayed by blind lingo denuncla-
tions."
The editorial considers the govern
ment would be justified even In incur
ring reasonable financial risks which
might formerly be properly regarded
as outside the scope Of government
action" in order to combat measures
restrictive Of trade which. Russia and
Germany are seeking to obtain from
China In the shape Of railway and
mining monopolies and the like"
The Evening News says that the me-
gotiations for Chinese loan of G16,-
100000, guaranteed by the British gov
ernment, are practically concluded.
According to dispatch from Rome
senor Crispi. the distinguished Italian
statesman and former premier. has
said in the course Of an interview that
events in the far east have proved that
Russia "only sought the French alli-
ance to hamper France in this import
ant matter, and that Italy would get
nothing by supporting England In
Chinese affairs, while she might ex-
peet much from supporting Russo
German action"
According to a Pekin dispatch the
ministers of the tsung-li-yamen (Chi-'
nese foreign office) spent the whole of
one night In discussing the deposition
of the Chinese commandant of Tsao
Chou, province of Shan Tung. who Is
accused of having used threatening
language to German missionary.
The commandant has not been sum
moned to Pekin for examination, as
previously cabled, the difficulty hav-
ing been smoothed over. The general
situation remains unchanged. Hostili-
ties are feared. The German minister,
Baron Won Heyking, is understood to
be temporlang until the arrival in
China of Prince Henry of Prussia.
