GERMAN ACTION UPHELD.

London. July 19-The action of Count Won
Biilow. the German Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs. in informing the Chinese Legation at
Berlin that all telegraphic messages must be
in plain language and submitted for approval
by the censor, and the suggestion of Nj. Del
casse, the French Minister of Foreign At
fairs, that the expectation of arms to China be
prohibited, are generally regarded here as long
steps in the direction of treating China a
State engaged in war, and have been supple
mented this morning by the official announce
ment from st. Petersburg that certain por-
tions of the Amoor Territory, including parts
Of the Khabarovsk district and the coast ter
ritory, as well as the towns of BlagoveChensk,
Khabarovsk and Nikolskussuri, have been de-
clared in a state of since July H. Russia s
announcement is regarded in London as at
least foreshadowing n speedy unconditional
recognition of the fact that a condition of war
exists between China and the civilized world,
and the general opinion seems to favor this
view as the best means of meeting the bar
barian upheaval, while at the same time en-
deavoring to isolate the Independent Viceroys
from the general conf1agration.
The revelation of the ability of the Chinese
forces in the North to stand their ground
against the international forces is producing
the inevitable results in the South. At Shanghai
it is announced officially that foreign women
ports along the river.
Serious rloting has occurred at PoYang Lake,
near Kiu-Kiang. Several missionaries have
been killed and chapels burned. The telegraph
between Kiu- Kiang and Hankow is interrupted
In connection with the story that Prince
Tuan's forces have been ordered to march to
Wei-Hai-Wei, it is considered as Significant
that Indian troops arriving at Hong Kong have
been ordered to proceed to that city.
A Shanghai dispatch also reports that Rus
sia has been in secret negotiations with Prince
Tuan's Government with the connvance Of
Ii Hung Chang.
In a dispatch from st. Petersburg it is stated
that Russia's anxiety to minimize the alarm
ing nature of the news from Manchuria is die
tated by fears of the trouble the confirmation
of such news might cause in the matter OF
arrangements alleged to have been made in the
United States for money with which to com
pete the Manchnrian railroad

and will be passed through the allied fleets and
camps to the capital, where his head will be
cut off II he declines to serve the Government
of assassination.
Men who have passed many years in China
are utterly hopeless in their comments upon the
present situation. They assert that the Manchu
dynasty is lighting for it's life and power. and
that 1t will not spare any effort TO set the
furious mobs in motion against the foreign con-
cessions at Shanghai, Nanking, Han-Kow, Che
Foo and other places. Some of the best in
formed men favor united action by the Powers
by which Nanking shall be proclaimed the cap
ital, so that appeal can be made to the Chinese
themselves against the despotic and arrogant
Manchu race. but they admit in the next breath
that this policy cannot be carried out, since both
Russia and Japan will not consent to the deg
radiation OF Peking when each hopes ultimately
to occupy and to hold it permanently.
JAPAN,s POLICY UNCHANGED.
No Power except Japan apparently knows it's
mind. and while battalions and naval br-
gades are going out there is no settled policy,
but general reluctance TO substitute de jure
for de facto warfare and to break off diplo-
matte relations with Government which has
virtually decreed the expulsion of foreigners and
the destruction Of all alien interests.
Sheng is still giving out contradictory
saees respecting the legations, and there are
highly imaginative estimates Of the strength of
the Chinese armies In the field. The real trend
of events is disclosed by two faCts-frst. that
the: Chinese Government is forcing the foreign
Powers to stand together and fight by its own
aggressive action. and. second, that the Powers.
while banding together. have their eyes fixed
upon spheres of interest where each must ult-
matey assume the responsibilities of admins
tration This was illustrated by Mr.. Brodrick's
admission yesterday that the Consul General at
Shanghai had been empowered to give assur-
arces of British support to the Viceroys in the
Tang-t region. l. N F.

the development OF international policy in Chi
nese matters and in this instance, as in others.
the intimation to this Government was unmis-
takably clear that no nation would look for any
possible ulterior motives in any plan suggested
by the authorities at Washington. The tradi-
tional policy Of the United States is to avoid
entangling alliances such as must prove in
separable from any effective plan which at the
outset its promoters admitted involved the
selection Of international military COM
mander-in-ehief for all the allied forces IN
China. who taking his instructions solely from
the eight nations clothing him with authority.
would dominate the individual commanders OF
each OF those nations. There was even the ex-
tremely tempting prospect that the American
Army might supply this officer This plan fell
through with Tuesdays Cabinet meeting and
the Presidents determination that Congress
should not be convened until more serious
situation justified It. The Trbune's dispatch
from Washington on Wednesday commented on
the significance Of this feature OF the Cabinets
decision advisedfy refralning on account Of the
delicate state of the negotiations from disclos-
ing the details of the project.
FRANCE TAKES THE INITIATIVE.
France with the European prediction for
concerts has apparently assumed the RESPONSE
bTity OF attempting TO bring about a binding al
pafgn in Pe-Chi-Li Province. which the United
States was estopped for high historical and po-
ntical considerations from undertaking and II
may be from hereafter entering. Should France
succeed, as is not altogether unlikely, in effect
ing such combination would accomplish the
objects Of an alliance, shorn of many of the
radical objections to most European concerts, it
Is difficult to imagine the United States becom-
ing a party TO it without the distinct assent of
Congress especially II is reasonably sure Of
involving obligations of a grave nature should
the Chinese complication grow much larger
Such a concert is admittedly designed to attract
the weaker Powers and those which for geo.
graphical and other reasons are incapable OF
guarding their interests in China without
outside assistance The proposition would ap-
peal 70 Italy and Spain for obvious reasons; to
England because her army is extremely busy In
South Africa. and to Germany and France, which
dare not disturb the nice balance maintained on
each side Of their common border. It would be
Joined by Russia and Japan-by one because the
other would join. and because at first 1t would
benefit both by giving them the assistance OF the
other Powers in rescuing their legations and sup
pressing the Boxers. But the operations of Rus
sia and Japan in China in the end cannot be
confined by the restrictions of joint action. They
are too close TO China TO come into the category
Of Powers half round the earth away when the
day OF settling arrives.

NO NOTE FROM FRANCE RECEIVED.

Washington. July 19.-Inquiry at the State
Department developed the fact that no such cir
cuar as that described in the Rome dispatch as
having been received from NJ. Delcasse had
reached Washington. While this Government
and that at Paris appear TO be pursuing exactly
the same line of policy to China. and conse-
quently are moving forward toward the com
mon objects without friction, it has not been
deemed necessary or eXpedient to attempt to
reduce to form and substance an agreement
upon which common action should be had. The
same statement IS equally true to Germany
and other Powers. This Government has not
found II polite to embark on any joint formal
programme beyond the matter touched on in
the identical note of July 3 defining the objects
of the United States in China.
In French official quarters here the report
from Rome is denied with equal postiveness.
Mr.. Hay and NJ. Thebaut, the French Charge
dAffaires, have discussed number of the de-
tails constantly arising, but 1t can be said posi-
lively that at no time has anything like a cir
cular from NJ Delcasse proposing an agree
ment of the Powers as to China been presented.
At present there negotiations of special
Importance under considerat tion, and certainly
France is not awaiting any response from the
United States to a circular note.
