The morning papers think that the Brit

we regret that Great Britain is too
much occupied in South Africa to settle
the Chinese business with strong hand"

ish minister at Pekin) following the course

1t is generally considered that interven-
ton in some form is necessary. The
Morning Post has the following from Pc
kin, dated yesterday:
Report says that the court partv in
collecting inside the. city. Consequently
there is increased uneasiness."
The Pekin correspondent of the Times

No train either left or arrived at Pek'n

Not One of Them Arrested.
Not one Boxer has yet been arrested

ing the fate of the missionaries at the
various stations. At the meeting of the
Tsung Ii Yamen yesterday CTuesday) The
japanese minister discussed the offer of
NJ. de Giop, the Russian minister, to give
assistance of the Russian troops in quell-
ing disturbances. The Tsung Ii Yamen
denied that the offer had been made, but
Russia did make ii and the Chinese gov
ernment is quite capable of accepting such
assistance"
The Times Pekin correspondent, in a
long mail article, dated April 25, which
deals with Russo-Japanese rivalry in the
Far East, expresses the opinion that war
between the two Powers is inevitable,
and that IL cannot be long delayed, be-
cause of Russia'S immediate Chinese de-
signs and of the hatred of the japanese
for Russia when they see her enjoying
the fruits of Japan's victorious war, to
the detriment of Japan.

uation editorially, calls attention TO the
interruption of communications between
the coast and Pelsin, and says;
England cannot allow communications
20 be interrupted for any length of time

the naval base upon which 1t depends"
Concluding an elaborate survey of the
field. it says:
To do nothing and let matters drift
is TO jeopardize our vast interests in the
Far East. To act independently may not
be prudent in the existing circumstances
but 40 allow any other single Power TO
act independently might be worse than
TO do nothing
