London, Sept. las soon as British
public opinion is able to shake off the
Russian nightmare which invariably
obtrudes upon the nations whenever
any far eastern question occupies in
ternational attention. it will. in all
probability, according to the views of
the best informed, heartily acknowledge
the wisdom Of Americas initiative to-
ward 2 solution of a situation which
threatens to reach an impasse. At
present the country finds a touch of
humOr in the idea of an entente he
tween the great republic OF the new
.sofld and the powerful autocracy of
the old, and the Saturday Review sheer
lngly wonders which will ultimately
give way to the other. But despite
the attempts of the Jingoes to becloud
the real meaning of the new under
standing, it is believed in authoritative
quarters that the reasons actuating the
united states viii ultimately recon-
mend themselves to governmental cir
cieS- Great Britain would doubtless
nave preferred to assist in carrying out
the original American proposals. but.
as the Washington government is pre-
pared to modify these in Difference 10
RUSSIAN views. there is every indica-
tlon that the British cabinet will ac-
cept whatever promises the quickest
end to the controversy.
Europe In Suspicious Mood.
The main trouble is that the whole of
EUROPE is In mood of mutual sus-
piclon, only too well calculated to pro-
mote international complications de-
precated by the whole world But dip
lomatic circles in London are of the
opinion that signs are diScernabIe that
the tension VIII soon be relaxed. and
That the 1ealOusiCs will be so aIIayed
that the powers viii be enabled. in
conjunction with ne reformers and
VfcerCys of he southern provinces to
devise . .rhsme for reconstituting the
government of China in conformity
with the VIII Of the people and authori-
ties of China. They emphasize the
necessity of taking the advice Of the
great Yang Use viceroys, whose at
titude during The present crisis has
shown thereasIre men IN China who can
govern when free from the influence
OF the Manchu clique, and who it is
thought, would gladly aid the powers in

ment, perhaps by deposing the dowager
empress and reinstating the emperor
OF course. it is realized that many
snags are liable to disturb the smooth
ness OF the current but the opinion in
the best informed circles appears to be
that latest developments have mate
rally helped clear the course.
Opinion of Mr.. Bookwalter.
This opinion is shared by John w.
BOOkwaiter OF Ohio. who is the author
or recent books on Siberian and Asiatic
problems
The washington government" said
Mr.. BookWalter, lis taking exactly the
right stand. though cert II circles in
England will exert every effort to dis
cOuntenance the Russo American rap
prochement. Fifty dollars of Chinese
trade is worth more to the United
States than fifty square miles of ter
ritOry, and if the United States con-
ttnues friendly with Russia, she can
obtain share Of commerce which
might easily be thrown to Germany
l believe that when England comes to
understand that the car means to
protect the autonomy of central China
she VIII also see her way to heartily
join with Russia, for England must
remember that the t~dnS-CaSpian rail-
road puts Cossack army at the doors
of India as well as at VIadivostOck."
Salisbury In retirement.
In the midst of al the turmoil. not
needing the hysterical affiliations of
the armchair guides of Great Britain
the responsible head of AFFAIRS Lord
salisbury, rests calm, confident and
wary in the village of Schlucht a
health resort in the Nosges. ten miles
from the nearest railroad station but
at the end of n wire to Downing street
II is EXPLAINED that one OF Lord Sal
lSJuryS reasons Tor going into perfect
solitude was to be able to work during
this trying period without interruD-
ions from cabinet ministers and 9TH
ers. Lord Sahsburys long interview
with the French minister OF colonies
NJ. Decrais. and the announcement that
the French minister of foreign affairs
NJ Delcasse. will shortly visit the Brit
ish premier, is taken here to mean
that the latter is improving the rela-
tions with France, which, judging frons
the newspapers, certainly need i'm
proVement, for dark r'Imors of posi-
bic war between France and Great
Britain are persistent
