SALISBURY WITH q. S.
England Lines Up With America In
Division of Powers.


London. Sept 25.-Lord Salisbury has
replied 70 the German note in terms
identical with those of the United
States.
The British premier's decision to re-
fuse to agree to the terms of the Ger
man note was communicated verbally
to the German ambassador here, Count
Won Hatzfeldt- Wildenberg. during the
course of a long interview this after
noon His lordship's decision is not
known here and the exclusive informa-
ton of the Associated Press probably
will not be officially given out in Eng
land until the reply is put on paper and
transmitted to Berlin, which may be
tomorrow or later.
ONLY a few officials are cognizant of
what Lord Salisbury said to Count Won
zfeldt-Wildenberg in regard to the
latest DEVELOPMENTS in the Chinese
question Official circles here were in
clined TO believe that his lordship
would agree with Germany But in
stead of doing so he used almost ex-
actly the terms in which the Washing
ton refusal was couched, and this, said
a high official to representative of the
Associated Press, is all the more sur
prising. considering that the Washing
ton officials had not the slightest ink
ling of what England's attitude would
be-
What will be the result of this diff
ference of view between the United
States and Great Britain on the one
hand and Germany, Austria. France
and Italy on the other, no official was
found who was willing to risk an opin-
ion, but all agreed in believing that ii
did not entail a breaking off of the
negotiations.
