CHINA TO BE DIVIDED
PROBABLE MEANING OF THE ANGLO
RUSSIAN AGREEMENT.
Beginning Of the End of the FIOwcry
kingdom-Lord Charles Beres-
fOrd's Prediction Recalled.

LONDON. April 3o.-Pending detailed in
formation the London papers comment APP
provingly, but cautiously, upon the news OF
the Anglo-Russian agreement regarding
spheres Of influence in China. The Daily
Chronicle points out that this agreement
will probably produce similar arrangements
with Germany and France. resulting in the
partition Of China, which Lord Charles
Beresford predicts will bring about war.
America" says the Daily Chronicle, will
apparently be left out in the cold and she
really deserves no sympathy, for, if her
statesmen had been willing to join US at an
earlier stage in keeping China open to the
world, the present situation would never
have arisen"
The French papers comment also upon the
Anglo-Russian agreement. La Liberte
says: There are millions of French CAPT.

undertakings in the Yang-Tse region and we
refuse to believe that Russia has so COM

LONDON. May 1.-The Berlin correspond

has once more shown how entirely his most
generous impulses are made to subserve the
aims of state policy and how far his ideas
Of foreign policy are exalted above the petty
rancors Of an influential section of the Ger
man press. 1t ought to be noted that the
kilograms between Emperor William and
President Mckinley regarding the German
cable were both published in the original
English text. On the very eve, of the
kaiser's telegram certain papers published
a dispatch from New York declaring that
Captain Coghlan's dismissal was under con-
sideration, but that DR.. Won Holleben did
not insist upon it, The truth is that many
of those who make the most noise in Ger
man foreign politics do not in the least
realize the necessities Of the situation.
Germany has become deeply committed to
policy of commercial rivalry with Great
Britain and the United States, and in au-
thoritative quarters it is considered i'm
perative that in the meantime at least Ger
many should maintain political friendship
with these two powers. The Berliner
Post, pointing this out, says that what Ger
many needs Is a respite in order to develop
her naval power and to shape her policy
