Kimberly Asks InformatJon
PREMIER ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
Refers to China, the Soudan, and the
Cars Proposal for Peace.

The premier, Lord Salisbury. followed
Lord Kimberley and referred at length
TO China. He said the policy of her ma
| jesty's government did not contarnnIat 70
| the acquisition of territory in China or
the dismemberment of the Chinese en-
pire. The destiny of China was as i'm
possible to foretell as t5 reveal what
was occurring on a cerfain island in
a certain palace at Pekin All that her

with at present was to see that the trea-
Ties are fully CbserVedt I that the inter-
ests or British subjects are safesuarded.
and that nothing is done by either China
or any other nation TO compromise their
rights.
Referring to the Soudan. the premier
said that Great Britain held dominion
by the title arising from the fact that
the Soudan formed a part of the terri
tories of Egypt and also by the less
complicated and more easily understood
title Of conquest. Any revival Of the
claims Of titles which events had swept
away could not be sustained by histor-
ical precedent or international law.
So far as the czar's rescript was con-
cerned, Lord Salisbury said no one
could doubt the purity and humanity OF
the emperors motives Il should
conference achieved a humber aim and
if by the steady use of the principle of
arbitration we might be able TO dimin-
