London, June 13.-The murder OF the
chancellor Of the japanese legation at
Pekin is regarded as likely to lead to
serious complications but no decision
has been reached by Japan as to what
political measures will be necessary to
meet the situation.
Relative to the reports that the ia
panese minister at Pekin is pressing
for the recognition of a japanese
sphere Of influence to include the prov
inces Of Che Kiang. Fo KEN and Kiang
ST, it is pointed out that Japan has al
ready obtained a promise that the
province of Flo KEN schould not be al
ienated. while Kiang 81, situated at the
mouth of the Yang Use river, is in the
British sphere. Japan, therefore, Is
not likely to take a step which might
be dstasteful to Great Britain. whose
interests in China are similar to those
of Japan.

SITUATION.
Change Of Front on Part Of
the Empress Dowager.
Withdraws Objections to Presence Of
Foreign Troops on Chinese Soil.
Believed She Is No Longer Yielding 10 Anti
Foreign Influence.

w sh.ngton, June I'D finite official
Information was received here. this al
rnoon. from the foreign office Of one
of the moot important continental pow
ers stating that the Tsung Ii Yamen
had notified the minister of that powe"
at Pekin that the DoWager EmpI ess
would not object to the presence Of for
tign troops in Chin4's territory. Vague
unofficial rumors to this effect have
been current, but the information re
ccived here, today, was from such a
high official source as to leave no
doubt that the Empress D0Wag'r, who
practically constitutes the gov, rnnent
of China, had made known this deter
mination not to object to the presence
of foreign troops.
This change Of front came as dis
tinct surprise to officials and diplo-
mats. as all the reports up to this time
had pictured the Empress Dowager as
intensely hostile to foreigners and as
the al spirit behind the Boxers up
rising This supposed attitude Of the
Empress gave much concern 70 the au-
thoritics here and at other capitals. as
it was feared it would eventuate into
open declaration by the government Of

BILE letter Copyright, 1900, by the AS
ISOLATED Press lit has been a great
week for the government. As foretold
in these dispatches. Lord Salisbury held
his own in parliament and with the
country. The disunted liberal party
was no match for the conservative or
ganization, and even the small minor
tiles mustered into the Hobbies were
largely leavened with discontinued
members, who,much against their Wills,
voted in favor Of the party amend
ment
The crushing government victory In
the bye-election at York and the def,
mite break between the liberals and the
reunited Irish leaves the field clear
for the party in power. Already a
meeting OF the liberal party has been
called to express confidence in its lead
er in the house of commons, Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman. and II is freely
rumored that he medltates throwing up
the thankless task OF the nominal lead
ership. and that the opposition is turn
ing wistfu eyes In the direction OF
Lord Rosebery. That so-called sphynS,
however, is must too astute to retake
the guidance OF such an Unconditional
body during a period so crucial In the
country's history, and though, spasmod-
ically, he evinces a desire to re-enter
the field OF active politics. he is the
last man in the world TO take a pig In
a poke; hence the remainder OF the
session will probably be only marked
by desultory opposition, the liberals
taking the middle OF the road course
and the Irish adhering to out and out
denunclation OF the government and
its war. But. neither will be able TO
prevent the chancellor OF the exchequer.

The reuniting OF the Irish members

OF the immediate future. The organs
OF all the Irish parties are unanimous
