WASHINGTON, Nov. g. - The dtplo-

rectly interested in the Chinese question
called at the state department today
II was noticeable that the call of the
Russian ambassador, Count Cassini, and
the French charge, NJ. Thiebaut, on Sec
rotary Hay lasted longer than usual,
and WI Tung, Chinese minister, extend
ed his call The interest of the Chinese
government In what is going on between
the United States and the European DOW
ers is intense, but it is believed Secretary
Hay has relieved the main apprehension,
which was founded upon a suspicion that
our government, in the event that the
European powers failed to give the for
NAL assurance for the maintenance of
the open door that 1t seeks, will take
possession of Chinese coast before all IS
taken up by other powers. So confident
are the officials of success that it is init
mated that they have gone to the length
of forming a. policy to meet the event of
defeat.
No answer has been returned by France
to our inquiry as to a formal assurance
of the retention OF trade privileges 1t
Is scarcely expected that the French
stipulation will apply to Tonquin and the
sections of China that have been under
French influence for long time past,
