NEW YORK, July ga dispatch
to the Journal and Advertiser from
London says:
During the course OF an interview,
Sir Charles Dixie. the former Liberal
cabinet minister and the statesman
who is universally regarded as being
the principal authority in England on
foreign affairs, said that he regarded
the latest news from China as extreme
~ grave
Up to the invasion of Russian ter
ritory by Chinese troops there was
nothing to lead us to suppose that
there was directing and controlling
government at Pekin.
The invasion OF the Russian Amur
province is visible sign that there is
responsible government still in pow
er.
If China were, as we have believed
until now. in the throes of civil war,
neither of the contending parties
would have time or opportunity to car
ry their hostile operations into a for
eign country.
The Chinese attack upon Russia has
all the appearance of being an act of
the Imperial government at Pekin,
and the only Interpretation to be plac-
ed upon this move is that the response
bic Chinese government at Pekin has
proclaimed war upon Russia and upon
the powers.
In this connection, I must confess
that am much impressed by the fact
that Ii Hung Chang should have felt
ii incumbent upon him to comply with
the summons to proceed to Pekin,
which has reached him from the i'm
perial government there. 1t is ex-
tremely significant, and constitutes an
other proof that there is a responsible
imperial government in control at Pc
kim
