that Lord Salisbury has been Lying perdu
In the mountains as a member of the
diplomatic corps remarked to a representa-
tive OF the Associated Press that continen-
tai statesmen felt the situation had been
ameliorated thereby. as England has thus
been safeguarded from rushing to hasty
conclusion. "Of course" said he, "the
Premier is in constant touch with the For
eign Office, but he is enabled TO take
calmer view in the quietude Of his summer
refuge than he could possibly have reached
under the pressure of the more excitable
members of the Cabinet"
This reflects the opinion of the British
public whose confidence in Lord Salisbury
is largely due TO the belief that he does not
consult his colleagues in the weightier
matters of state. II is curious fact that
almost every foreign minister of the powers
concerned is absent from his post during
this acute period of one of the most i'm
portant diplomatic decisions of recent
years. Most of the embassies, too, have
been in the hands of charges d'afaires,
and now United States Ambassador Choate
has gone to Switzerland for long holiday.
Meanwhile. with the exception Of the
statement already cabled that the Foreign
Office sides with the powers, discounten-
ancing the immediate evacuation of Pc
king, there is a lack of reliable information
as to how the dilemma OF Peking will be
solved. Most statements are started mere
ly with the object OF indirectly eliciting
facts. There is no doubt that almost any
fairly palatable prescription will be swal-
lowed by the British Cabinet, and the As
ISOLATED Press learns from a well-informed
quarter that as soon as the Chinese gov
ernment appoints tolerable commissioners.
with serious instructions, they will find
Great Britain ready to respond and aid in
utilizing what William Woodville Rockhill,
special commissioner of the United States
government to investigate and report on
conditions in China. recently termed the
beautiful occasion to settle for all time
the status of foreigners in China
Washington, it is now conceded, is for
the moment the center of diplomatic activ-
ity, and news from there is eagerly
scanned. and the latest Associated Press
exposition of the policy Of the United States
in the matter is welcomed as likely to be
acceptable, and as finally disposing of the
unfounded suspicion that the Russian
scheme was promulgated with the approval
Of the United States administration. Great
Britain's alleged pusillanimity and lack of
initiative, however. furnished another op-
portunity TO grumble, and now practically
the whole nation is ION the growl."
