While no official statement is forthcom-
ing as to the position of france, in the
absence from Paris of those in control of
her foreign policy, the following, emanat-
ing from an official associated with the
French government, expresses the views
OF the foreign office at the present juno
ture:
I'VE have no revenge to seek in China
and we have no intentions to demand such
recOmpense i'll the shape of indemnitieo
as will create resentment against foreign
ers. Our policy will be one OF liberal edu-
cation, the effort to teach this great mass
of people to trust and regard Europeans
fuvorably. In the end TINS may result in
the advancement of civilization for the
one and commercial prosperity for the
others. Those who think that a change
of government will change the character
of the Chinese people have not broad
understanding OF the deep-seated ideas
which centuries have bred in them. To
make radical upheaval of their form of
government just at this time would do
more harm than good. We snail attempt
to find suitable person of liberal ideas
| towards foreigners who will assume the
reins of government Our position follows
the identical lines of the United States in
nearly every instance. Commercially we
wish the broadcast international construc-
ton to be placed on foreign privileges,
and it is d fact that had not your coun-
try declared an open door at the time it
did, France herself would have done so.
The reply made by the United States to
Ii Hung Chang's request for the appoint
ment of an emissary to act with a view
to settlement and the establishment OF
peace receives general approval here.
France will take similar position, for
We must be assured that we are negotiat-
ing with concrete body, and not with a
shadow. While We have special CONNER
cial interests in Yunan and Sze-chuen
our desire to develop that region would be
defeated should We act on narrow, selfish
ideas there"

England's Views.

London, Aug. 27.-The policy of the
United States toward China is watched
here with more interest than is that OF
any other country, for Englishmen be-
lleve somehow or other that In the trouble
ahead America will be the only power
with interests parallel with theirs. The
Spectator, discussing the ties connecting
the powers, says: Continental statesmen
look askance at the new force, America,
whose limits they do not clearly under
stand, and which, for example, can send
black troops to China, and vney mutter
words about the possible Anglo-S Saxon I'M
Outstanding, and would, If they could,
gladly postpone all action so as to have
more time Tor reflection and combination,
only, you see, Pekin is in flames, the Chi
nese oemiramis is on her way to Singan
tu and Russian general publicly reports
tnaI Inc Amur now flows through Russian
territory.
Japan has been watching Europe and
observers are uncertain what her states
men intend.
That the French government is prepar-
ing for war there can no longer be any
doubt"

the others of selfish and Interior motives.

to maintain this vantage ground and re-
tam the confidence of the other porwers,
SO that it is now more than ever cautious
as to the next step to be taken.
Chinese officials expressed belief that
Ii Hung Chang, the Chinese peace envoy,
had started for Pekin or Tientsin. While
there is said to be no official advices to this
enect, yet it is so in accord with the ex-
pectations of China's course that the Off
Gals accept it as fact. If this proves to
be correct it may bring about early OPP
portunity for personal exchanges between
Earl Ii and the commanders of the allies
and the ministers of the respective pow
ers.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The diplomatic
feature OF the Chinese situation Saturday
took precedence over both the naval anu
military features. The officials OF this
government were, if anything, more un-
communicative than heretofore as to the re-
lauons between the powers. 1t was stated
aEthoritatively that no news OF importance
had been received, and that the diplomatic
negotiations could not be made public.
The most unsatisfactory Developments
OF the day, so tar as the pacific program OF
Lhls government goes, was the receipt OF
dispatch from Admiral Remey conveying
the reports which had reached him OF u
the Russian forces in Pekin and the other
internationals. The text of this dispatch
was not made public, but it was said on
good authority to contain the statement
that the Russian commander had forbidden
communication with the Chinese on the
ground that Russia was technically as
well as practically at war with China.
1t may be said that the information was
not conveyed by Admiral Remey as otfl-
cial news, but merely as report from re-
liable sources which he considered this
government should possess for its own IN
| fOrmauon.
Assuming Admiral Remey's report to be
correct, this move on the part of Russia
strikes the first note of discord In the
| heretofore harmonious concert OF the
powers. 1t may be said, however, that
the news is not taken very seriously by
this government, and certainly will not
affect our course in any way until 1t has
been officially confirmed.
1t was explained that the situation
growing out of the joint occupation OF
Pekin by the powers was delicate, a.
though not necessarily to be described as
serious. The international powers there
were reported at least antagonistic, and
an ill.considered move on the part Of any
one government might easily entail dis
agreeable consequences in which all would
be more or less involved. AT the same
time it was explained that all of the gov
ernments represented in China wer'
anxious to avert any open clash If thin
could be done without sacrificing what
they considered their rights in the prem
ises. In this situation the United States
occupied the position it has held al
