KITCHENER NOT IN 1T.
Speculation in England Over the New
Appointments.

New York, Oct. 1.-The appointment OF
Lord Roberts to succeed Lord Wolseley
as commander in chief of the British
army and all along been expected, says
the London correspondent of the ,TriO-'
une, but the official announcement made
last night can only be regarded, IN view
of the general election, as clever polit-
ical maneuver. with Lord Roberts as
commander in chief, the question of ap-
pointing d new secre e.ary 4of var VIII pe
reduced in Importance, as the very fact
of the hero of the South African cam
paign being in supreme command. will Re
in itself a guarantee of war office re-
forms. Lord Wolseley, 1T is well known.
could, two or three years ago, have had
the governor generalship of Canada, but
on account of LIE exigencies OF military
affairs at the time, he did not see his
way TO resign the commandership IN
chief. Had he done so, the appointment
would have gone to the duke Connaught.
Now, however, the queens son will have
to be content with his present office OF
commander of the forces in Ireland. Gen.
era1 Butler should succeed Lord Roberts
in South Africa. He will be the senior
officer there when the field marshal
leaves, and there are several others who
rank before Kitchener.

AFRAID OF WALDERSEE.
Desire to Make Fighting Reputation
Will Start Partition. q

New York, Oct IA special to the,
Herald from washington says: Great
Britain is playing international politics 3
in connection with the German proposal
that the surrender or responsible auth-
ors of anti-foreign outrages be made a
condition precedent to negotiation with
the Chinese government. Well Informed
dinlomats here believe that she has de-
layed her reply to learn the character
of those of the other powers, and its ef-
feet upon the Chinese. Lord Salisbury
has no desire ITO offend Germany. Her
attitude during the war in South Africa
has not been overlooked, nor does Great
Britain forget. in view of the independ-
ent attitude of the United States, that it
may be necessary for England to Coop
crate with Germany to prevent Russia
and France from obtaining larger
slices of China than herself in case of
partition. So, it is understood here that
Lord Salisbury has believed 1t polite to
give long consideration to the German
proposal and that the degradation of
Prince Tuan and other princes by the i'm
perial government of China VIII prob
ably be the loophole through which he
will crawl. So far as this government
has been informed, Germany has not
modified her proposal, though it is likely
that she Wa. do so in view of the objec-
tions of the other powers. 1t Is stated in
official circles that this government con-
specting partition, such as seems to be
anticipated in Berlin. Tt is feared that
partition will be the only solution of the
situation and the authorities are encour-
aged by the change in the attitude of the
Chinese government to make renewed ef-
forts to effect a settlement, which will
preserve the territorial entity OF the en-
pire. A diplomat observed last night
that none of the powers could in honor
agree to the dismemberment OF China be-
cause they had in explicit terms, an
nounced that their purpose was the ma In
tenance of the territorial integrity of the
empire. What the officials fear, however,
is that Count Won Waldersee, anxious to
gain military laurels, will find in the Sit
uation a reason for offensive operations,
giving pretext for Russia to make per-
manent her occupation Of northern Chi
na Once this Is done, the division of the
remainder of the territory among Euro
