GREAT BRITAIN AND
The UNITED STATES
IN CLOSE ACCORD
Numerous Dispatches Pass
Between Secretary Hay
and Lord Salisbury.
WILL OPPOSE THE POWERS

Two Governments VIII Declare Open
~ Against Partitioning China-Rus-
STA Will BE Forced to Give Japan
Mandatory Authority In Order to
Save the Foreigners.
LONDON, July 21.-Aotive diplomatic
negotiations are passing between the
powers regarding a coalition against
China. England and the United States
foreign offices are arranging a close &C.
cord on the question Of partition. These
two governments probably will declare
openly against it in q few days.
Numerous dispatches are passing be-
tween Hay and Salisbury, with the idea
of the two countries forming identical
policies.
When the proposition was made to
allow Japan, owing to her proximity TO
the scene of trouble, to land more than
her quota Of troops III China and take
the lead in the advance on Peking, all
the powers agreed to it, Russia was
most hearty in her approval of the
scheme, then England, between whom
and Japan there exists a secret treaty Of
alliance, proposed to the powe4s that
Japan be given mandatory power to set
tie the Chinese difficulty.
To this Russia objected most strenu-
ously. England then appealed to Ger
many to use her influence to secure Rus
sia's consent to Japanese supremacy in
the operations and settlement of the out
break.
Germany replied that she would do
nothing of the kind Japan not being
given mandatory powers, has held back
and some even hint that England is
holding her bask.
Now that the United States is Ieaguing
with England, Russia may be forced, in
the interest of humanity, to waive her
objection to Japan's authority and save
the ministers, the women and children
and their brave defenders from the fury
of the Chinese mobs.

a talk with Colonel Campbell at Big
Stone Gap, Va, prior to his arrest,
where the latter met him as Mr.. Kamar,

led into politics and then to the Goebel
assassination. Later he found he was
talking to the attorney for the prosecu-
ton. He said Campbell did not promise
him anything for his testimony.
Witness said he had an idea that Goe-
bel was to be killed, but he thought it
would be in fight and not by assassina-
ton. When told by John Powers to keep
out of range, as some fellows in the
lobby were going to do the work for
Goebel when he came In, he hurried off
to prevent the assassination.
