London, Sept. 19.-"On the eve of Ii
Hung Chang's departure" says the
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Express, wiring yesterday, 'he re-
ceived strongly worded cablegram
from Lord Salisbury, declaring that
the British government would insist
upon the return of Emperor KwanG
Su to Peking as an absolutely essential
condition of peace negotiations. with
out which the dissolution of the Chi
nese empire was inevitable.
Lord Salisbury Informed Earl Ii
that the allies desired to preserve
China. but that nothing would divert
them from their irrevocable intention
of Furnishing those responsible for the
outraSes, whom they would, If neces-
sary, pursue over all China"
AS might have been expected, coin

Waldersee in China Waldersee was at
Hong Kong yesterday comes the most
important declaration Of policy vet is-
sued by any of the allies. As The
Daily News remarks. "Germany'S circu-
lar note has turned the tables on Rus
sia. whose evacuatio proposal had put
Germany into an awkward corner
Now if Russia aSSentS to the German
note she will be unable TO continue to
pose as China's lenient and forgiving
friend; while if she dissents. Russia
will lay herself open to the charge Of
reducing the punitive expedition to a
farce"
The London morning papers have
little but praise for what Is called Ger
many's admirable note" The Times
goes so far as to wish that the credit
for making such a proposal belonged
TO Great Britain. The Morning Post
alone, In a cogent and well-reasoned
editorial, points out grave objection.

er themselves up and that if the Chi

as guilty IT would be under the ban of
the powers. n condition of things only
terminable by the conquest of China
or q revolution producing q new gov
ernment.
There is no confirmation of Lord
Salisbury's alleged telegram to Ii
Hung Chang referred to by the Shang-
hal correspondent of The Daily Ex-
press.
\ Berlin dispatch of yesterday
quotes a Shanghai special 10 the effect
that Ii Hung Chang promised that
Emperor Kwang Su would return to
Peking; but he said that this wOIld
lead TO the establishment of another
government in Sian Flu. ''As proof of
this" says the correspondent. Earl
Ii pointed out that the conspiracy re-
Gently discovered at Hankow. whose
aim was the establishment of the
emperor. the dethronement of the EN-
press regent, and the execution OF
Prince Tuan-which therefore coin
cided with the aims of the allies-was
squelched by tho YangTse vicerOys
because they all sided with the en-
press regent and Prince Tuan.''
