Salisbury Thought to Favor Depos-
ing Present lsulers I'm China.


London, Aug. 16-England's reported
loan of ss75,OO0.O00 to Chang Chin
Chung, viceroy of the province of Wu
Chang, is looked upon in diplomatic cir
cles as conclusive evidence that Lord
Salisbury has decided to act in accord
with the suggestion of the Chinese
minister here and support the southern.
viceroys against the anti-foreign caste
in Pekin. Whether or NOT the embry-
.onic revolution aimed at the Manchu
dynasty ever fully develops seems to
depend on the visit of the allied forces
othe Chinese capital. If the dynasty
falls, as the minister, Sir Chih Chen
Lob Feng Luh, has repeatedly said
that 1t probably will, then is expected
that the enlightened Chinese party
headed by Ii Hung Chang, Will rapidly
come to the front.
That her majecty's government would
view with satisfaction the substitution
of a genuine Chinese regime for that of
the Manchus is thought to be Indicated
official Times:
The most inferior aMnchu is pre-
ferred by the palace clique in ePkin to
SlldHka aS31lH snuNS, n06eNJoSS every
highest eputation fer scholarship,
which the Chinese hold in honor. II we
can substitute the rational Chinese
patriotism for the blind exclusiveness Of
.thespresent in the Pekin regime We shall
have done practically all that is de-
sired. The best chance of doing this is
to support the enlightened viccroys
.aaginst the tryrannous Manchu crowd
now dominating Chinese politics..
Diplomats generally agree that Rus
STA and Germany are sending large
numbers of additional troops to the far
east, not merely with the object of re-
lieving the legationers but in order to
enforce the demands for new deal all
around in Pekin. There is little doubt
expressed but that Tung Fuh Slang,
Prince Tuan anr Yung Lu Will be sum
marily dealt with by the empress her-
self, and will be severely punished If
found guilty Of having encouraged the
Boxers.

Chih Chung, gives evidence of a dis
position either to support him for ruler
of China in the event of the disappear
ance of the present dynasty or 10 make
