The Khedive's Visit
to England.
Its significance.

The first official visit of the Khed-
i've to England represents a good deal
of diplomacy on the part of his Bri-
tish managers. There is no indica
ton that he has made it willingly,
but it is noteworthy that he has
made it at all. Ever since his ac-
cesslon to the throne his bias has
been tor French advisers, or in fact
any advisers that promised to show
him a way to break through the res
traints imposed BY British occupa-
tion. More than once he has had
toadischarge ministers that threaten
ed to undo British reforms, and on
more than one occasion it is said to
have been intimated to MIN in polite
terms that he would be put aboard
ship and sent to follow Arab Bey il

regarded as important, for Pieters-

Japan Opposed to
Partition of China,
Statement Of diplomat IN
London.

Japan's uncompromising attitude
in regard to China. and her determ-
ination to oppose any partition plan,
was evidenced by statement made
by an attach6 of the legation in
London. The Island Empire does
not contemplate with equanimity the
prospect of the dismemberment Of
the Chinese Empire, and, while the
st. Petersburg government was not
mentioned by Koik6 ChOzO, the
Japanese diplomat, the inference
conveyed by his declarations was
plain.
"Japan emphatically does not de-
sire," he said, "to see the Chinese
Empire crumble and become the
field of indiscriminate land grabbing
on the part of the Powers. We are
anxious that its independence shall
be preserved. The horrors of the
presenG situation are insignificant in
comparison with the possible strife
into which the nations would be
plunged in the event of the complica'
tions certain to follow in the wake of
dismemberment. Japan is in earnest
accord with her sister Powers in de,
manding that the anti-foreign sem
siment, conceived of barbarism, be
forever crushed, but wants our acti-
vity at present limited to the accom-
plishment of that purpose. We are
unacilling that the existing crisis
shall be embraced as an opportunity
for exploiting the Chinese domain,
no matter to what extent Japan
might profit by the process"

he did not mend his s7ays. He must
have reformed considerably before
consenting to visit England. There
are excellent reasons why he should
be recenciled to bis lot. His reye-
nues have been increased by British
management, and his private prop.
erty made SO productive that he has
grown vsry rich by British aid and
advice. The tanning Of the young
Khedive and the management even
of his household at the suggestion Of
officials have been incidental to
more important work, and show how
thorough the work of reconstruction
has been made.

Columbian RevOlu=
tiOniSts at Bar

Recent advices from Kingston
Jamaica, state that authentic news
from Colon, Columbia, has been re-
ceived there by the French steam
ship Labrador. According to the
latest advices, there is great excite
ment in Barranqui.la and Carriage
ma, two Colombia searorts, because
of the appearance off Bocas de Ce-
nozas. an inlet very near Barranqui-.
LA, of torpedo boat, steamship
and several selling vessels.
The craft are fully armed and
carry two thousand reyolutionists,
who are under the command of Cen
eral Duran. The revolutioniSts int
end to attack Barranquilla by land
and water.
There are only about two thous-
and troops in Barranquilla. General
Uribe has reported at Ocana with
five thousand soldiers. He will pro-
ceed along the Magdalena River if
General Duran should capture Bar
ranquilIa. That would mean de.
cisive conflict.
There is neither cable nor steam
ship communication with Barran-
quilla. The result Of the fighting
therefore will lot be known for some
