to the railway station and the rolling

men, who, however, failed to make a

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Careful inquiries
reveal nothing extant in diplomatic cir
cles here to justify the alarmist view
taken by a section of the press regard
ing the situation in the far East. That
a serious denouement is so close at hand
as is indicated by advices from Shanghai
during the last twenty-four hours is re-
garded as incredible. For a long time it
has been known here that China and
Japan were closer allied but none of the
diploma fists in London believe this al
lance is of an offensive nature. At any
rate it can be asserted positively that
If Japan and China contemplate aggres-
sive action against Russia Lord Sails
bury is not aware of their intention, and
it is scarcely probable that those powers
would decide upon any definite course
without at least consulting Great Britain,
who in the nature of things, would be
their ally, whether active or passive.
However, while the foreign officials
have no information tending to confirm
recent sensational reports, they have
come to regard the Eastern problem as
so different, in respect of getting accu-
rate information, that they would be sur
prised at nothing. They have endeavored
to take precautions against everything.
In the words of the British official:
while reports of a rupture between
Russia and Japan are easy of creation,
and while they are liable to constant re-
iteration, so long as the diplomats of
the powers continue to view the far East
with such serious attention, 1t is certain
to strike a serious blow at Russian con-
troll she must do it quickly, for very soon
Russia will be far stronger than she is
now
Discussing the bearings of Russia's new
naval estimates upon this question the
official asserted that this certainly indi-
Gated the intention of the czar to in
crease 1.-The Russian fee. in Chinese wa
ters, which, if done on the scope out
lined in the naval estimate, would leave
Japan but little chance.
Another phase of these reports which
has astonished me-" said the official in
question, 'is the reports of Chinese CO.
operation. No one has been able here
tofore to arouse China sufficiently to
combine in military enterprise. If Japan
mas done tnlS, as II is reported Sne mas,
then she has accomplished more than
Great Britain or Russia in a century of
effort"
The action of the United States gov
ernment in requesting assurances from
foreign governments respecting the
"open door policy in China has created
intense satisfaction in British official
circles.
Lord Salisbury" according to the Of
fetal quoted above, ''has gladly ac-
quiesced in this step on the part of the
United States, which is important evil
dencc that the United States recognizes
the policy of conducting their foreign af-
fairs without the Cooperation of other
nations, and as the first practical earnest
of their desire to conduct Eastern nego-
tiations in concert with European govern
ments."
