LORD sALIsBuRY,s RETIcENcE

LORD SALIsBURY'S RETICENCE.
NEW YORK. Sept ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
There have been no fresh canards
within "a hours from China, where dip
lomatic ictions are easily invented for
the purpose Of creating dissensions
among the powers.
Lord Salisbury's reply to the Ger
man proposals is still awaited with
anxiety in Berlin and intense interest
in other capitals. and meanwhile the
English press is cropping in the dark
for the real policy of the British for
eign office. The delay in sending the
answer to Berlin is not satisfactorily
explained oy lack of information from
Pekin. when his facilities for conlmun-
ication have been as good as these Of
the other powers. He is probably cast
ing about for some effective method Of
dulling the edge Of a refusal and OPEN
ing the way for an amendment of the
German proposals.
The general principle that the guilty
must be punished can be accepted easi-
ly enough, even If the ways and means
proposed by Germany are rejected. The
opinion which has prevailed in Fleet
Street-that the British foreign office
will strongly support the proposition
that negotiations cannot be entered in
TO until the leaders of the anti-foreign
movement are surrendered for purish-
ment-is not held in diplomatic circles
here. Lord Salisbury is not believed to
favor so drastic a proposal What the
best informed men are expecting is his
refusal to assent to this method of pro-
cedure, but they are also confident that
the divergency of views will be mini
mixed and concealed as far as possible.
II these forecasts are correct, Lord
Salisbury's reply will surprise the Eng
lish electors who are expecting evidence
that England is shoulder to shoulder
in China with Germany and the triple
alliance. For this reason Lord Sails
bury may deliberate in drafting and
dispatching ii. He has himself referred
to the China complications as one of
the reasons for having as large a ma
jority as possible in the next parlia-
ment. and he may be reluctant to have
the text of his reply published on the
eve of election.
His silence however, does not exempt
him from criticism. The Westminster
Gazette is already condemning his in
action with fine irony, and explaining
that the foreign office could not be ex-
peeted to make up its mind about the
German circular within ten days and
that the empress and the ringleaders
are likely to have another three weeks
for effecting their escape before the in
ternatiOnal steam roller is in motion.
Foreign policy apparently is not
wholly separated from democratic pol
icies even in England. There is need
for caution for the Unionists are not
vvH011W -offrffh1 with f1tn r.r1ar,Eatcr r
the elections. The Liberals are doing
better work than was expected and
there is much apathy on the Unionist
side. Liberals largely outnumber the
fcontin,,aa q, so,,,.h $50
