ENGLAND ALSO pEssIMIsrIc.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-The pesslmism
reelected by the Washington specials
dealing With China finds keen echo in
Great Britaln's cabinet. The gloomy
foreboding that the United States will
be compelled to Withdraw from the con-
cert of the powers Is only one OF the
causes of this feeling, sor the British
ministers are now inclined to believe
the present lIn=s OF negotiation cannot
result satisfactorily.
"The United States" said an official
Of the foreign Office to Representa-
tive Of The Associated Press. cannot
be any more anxious than England to
get ou. OF the China muddle. The cabi-
net ministers are reluctantly coming to
believe that the endeavors to compel
China 10 punish individual offenders are
merely waste Of time. Death by edict
Is farce and fairy tale. The powers
forces now in China are utterly made
quate TO overrun the country and en-
force tEeir demands. England has no
Intention Of augmentlng her troops to
such ar extent MS win be necessary II
the Europeans themselves undertake to
infiict punishment. 1t looks very much
as II we shall aH have to climb down.
The only question is how can II be done
with the best dignity and under cir
cumstances giving the most satisfactory
results.
The policy OF indefinite decimation
which the American journals seem to
attribute to Germany is not shared In
the slightest by Great Britain. This
view is not of a majority OF the Brit
ish press who. without taking pains to
find out the inner opinion Of the cabi-
net generally. condemn what they are
pleased to call the weakened policy
OF America"

FISCAL INSTRUMENTATION.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2L-According to
the Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, the attitude Of
the state department in favor of a
moderate indemnity to be paid by China
for recent outrages is governed by the
belief that prompt settlement upon
such a basis will prevent quarrels
among the powers, leading up perhaps
TO the partition Of China or armed con-
ilicts between those having the strong
est military forces.
The Chinese revenues are not well
organized, except the customs under Sir
Robert Hart. and the meeting of an
excessive Indemnity would require re-
organization, If this cannot be es-
capped the United States win not be the
sufferer in the long run. for their eit-
zens are likely to play an important
part in reorganization. If the other
powers continue to insist upon an in
demnity which is obviously beyond the
pONSi VI SiAthd W pay III pllhNApoit lAS
United States may find it advisable to
support a plan Of fiscal reorganization
In China at once.
1t is felt that it might be better in
some contingencies to provide in ad-
vance for an international board of fls-
cal control than leave the matter to
future conflicts among the powers, If
provision is made at the present time,
1t may be possible to provide for a
proper balance Of power and for poll
cy which will be acceptable to the Chi
nese imperial government. Several pro-
jects for international control of Chi
nese finances have been laid before the
state department but have not fallen
within the scope Of the policy which has
thus far been supported by the adminls-
tration.
II 1t proves impracticable to bring
the other powers to basis Of modera-
ticn which will limit the indemnity to
an amount which can be paid in full

CANAL COMMISSION REPORT.
Will Not Offer Any Suggestion as to
Which Route Should Be Chosen.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2i.-There was an
apparently well authenticated report
in Washington last night. says dis
patch to the Times. that the Isthmisn
Canal Commission will make a report
announcing the respective advantages
of the Niearaguan and Panama routes,
but uot Offering any suggestion about
which should be chosen.
II Is understood that some members
of the commission were in favor Of
presenting a report in favor of the Mic
aragua route, but that others were as
strongly In favor of Panama, and that
the result is a compromise. The 18TH
mlan Commission has never been of
one mind regarding routes. even in
Nicaragua. Hardly route has been
mentioned that has not been open to
some objections and the members of
the commission have never been strong
ly in favor Of any Of them.

the reception. But especially rcassuring
was the character Of the reception and
II was with a feeling OF relief that
the authorities went 70 bed after the
gloomy forebodings inspired by the un-
fortunate accident which had marked
the previous welcomes given Mr.. Kru-

II Is true that ". Lepino Harris, pre-

REASON FOR REFUSAL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Oscar s.
Strauss. minister to Turkey. declines to
say anything about the porte's action
in refusing an exequatur for the Unit
ed States consul at Harpoot. decIar-
ing that all comment should come from
the state department. Another Ameri-
can who has spent years in the diplo-
nlatic service said:
''The Turkish authorities look with
jealousy upon the appointment Of con-
suls to interior points in the empire
and especially when. as in the present
instance, the United states wishes to
send consul TO point where 1t has
not mad consul before
The reason perhaps why the Turk
ish authorities more specifically object
to the appointment of consul at Har-
poot is that it was at Harpoot the
American missionary property was de-
stroyed during the Armenian troubles
on the loss of which our claims for in
demnity are based.
America has no commerce at Har-
poot. Its interests there are only mis-
slonsry. as in that city is located the
college besides several mission schools
and 1t is a center for the American
missionaries. but it can be reasonably
claimed by our government, even IL
we have little or no commerce there
now. that we may want 10 cultivate it
and especially as a number Of our citi-
zens are resident there. Heretofore
such consular business as the United
States had at Harpoot has been con-
Quoted by the British vice-ccnsul
there"

ENGLIsH ARE AMUSED.

LONDON. Nov. si-Mr. Kruger's tri-
umphant passage from Marseilles to
Paris is regarded with curious and un-
expected indifference In Great Britain.
Every detail 9f the remarkable ova-
tlon has been read with interest. but
the feeling here is more one of amuse-
ment thar irritation
What exercises Great Britain more
than the progress OF the war In South
Africa and Mr. Kruger's visit to France
is the illness Of the czar. The shadow
OF the bear couchant is ever present
as source Of dread and suspicion to
the average British statesman. How
much worse would he be feared II RAM
pant Is evidenced from the grave tone
Of the editorial articles Of the London
press.
When their writers contemplate what
might happen should the hand Of death
remove the present pacific ruler Of Rus
sia the possibility Of an avowedly an
ti-British regency with aggr sslve pro-
