LONDON, Aug. G,-The extreme dip

burg and London is generally admit :
ted today. though the officials deprr

the nrmer stand adopted by the Mar
quis of Salisbury during the last few
days, which seems to have already Gre

VIII have the desired effect of arrest
ing Russian ngHressiveness. 1t is fell
both here and on the continent that the
outcome OF the dispute in regard To the
new ChWnng railroad extension is the
crucial point of the success or failure
Of Great Rritan's policy Of the open
door"
AS evidence Of the fact that Great
Britain appreciates the gravity of thu
situation. the Associated Press learns
that The admiralty is preparing for All
emergencies. ana that il Hili soon be
able to mobilize the entire fleet ut the
shortest notice. Every officer and man
on furlouGh or on half pay has been
assigned to a ship ana instructed 10 BE-
in readiness To join it ut the earliest
moment. Therefore. practically every
ship in the British navy. whether in
or out of commission a. the present mo-
nent. has its full complement of Off
GERS and men. ready TO take her out
To sea when the time arrives.
According 10 Paris advicrs, Admiral
stdolicrc. commanding the French
china squadron, has cabled Il demand
FOR reinlnrcements and for a large
credit To be applied in erecting forti-
i'cations. The reason given for these
demands is that the natives of the
kwang- chou Wang region are showing
Signs of hostility. Eut there is some
suspicion here that the action OF the
French admiral may be connected with
a desire to back up Russian designs.
