LONDON, Sept 29,-Judging from APP
pearances, the British press Is prepar-
ing the way for the announcement that
Lord Salisbury has failed to agree TO the
proposals contained in the German note
The papers which at first anSrily declar-
ed that the statement n1ade.1o 4he AS
SOciated Press was inaccurate are now
either silent or IRE taking the view that,
after ALL it Is doubtful If it would be
advisable for Great Britain to become a
party to such.~a stringent Measure. AS
matter of fact. the statement regarding
Lord Salisbury's determination created
so much excitement and brought such
severe comment from Berlin that 1t may
result in Great Britain,s formal reply not
being delivered and may induce Germany
to agree to a compromise arrangement.
The long delay IN Great Britain's formal
reply reaching Berlin increases the like
lihcod of this happening. 1t IS pointed
out that it would cgfealraye stfith Lord
Salisbury, as he has inclination to in
cur German animosity 1t If can be
avoided.
Meanwhile the attitude of the European
powers towards China remains in the
same chaotic state. The conservative
party managers would, so far 9as Great
Britain is concernedS gladly see. this pol
icy of delay extend over the next two
weeks so that no more handles could be
afforded the liberals in their vigorous
attacks upon the government. The chief
object of th!s-Mr. Chamberlain-seem
to be losing his temper. In reply to
public statement by the Hon Philip Stan
hope Q4iberal, president of the National
Reform Unionj regarding 4tffcs a1 kesley
documents Mr. Chamberlain telegraphS
to the latter telling him, he would mot
be blackmailed by Stanhepe or anyone
else" adding: There is no correspon-
dence, and never has beeTs- tosTrove Ely
| completely in the raid, which l did my
utmost to stop"
Mr.. Stanhope replied: II will not stop
to qualify the yulgarity of your language
| but I am prepared to substantiate in the
courts every statement I have made con-
corning you. ssa-eS''-sf

Viscount Cranborne, Conservative, cid

reelected at Rochested.
There is still good deal of uncertainty
about nominations for as many as eighty
divisions, but the results of the uncon-
tested elections will not differ materially
from, those in 1895. The Unionists then
had, outside of Ireland.aa majority of no

a majority OF more than 13e now on I'M
contested seats, outside of ireland. and it
will probably be cut down below 800
