the growing difficulties of the Chinese
imbroglio Mr.. Brodericks emphatic
declaration at Thorncombe last evening
proves that the British government
does not see any cause to depart from
the line of policy originally decided
upon, namely, to take, no responsibility
for the administration of China.
Mr.. Frederick said he hoped it would
not lie supposed that the government
was pusillanimouS in this respect. Its
OBJECT was 10 maintain British inter
ests. 1t was quite ready to take it's
share of the white mans burden. but
could not admit that the nature of
that burden should be dictated to it
by the yellow man."

rs where the difficulty of selecting q
policy comes in. We cannot decamp
and leave the Powers to settle the

FUTURE ADMINISTRATION OF
CHINA.
Berlin, Aug. 29.-With reference to
the future administration of China a
high official of the German Foreign
Ofiice said to the correspondent OF the
Associated Press to-day:
1t is premature to talk of the form
or government that will be set up in
China; but the probabilities point to-
ward condominium of some kind
Inasmuch as the Powers will not trust
the chinese Government to carry out
the reforms that may be agreed upon
by them. 1t will be necessary to keen
watch upon the Chinese authorities in
some way.
AN this. however. is not yet the
subject of negotiations between the
Powers. The only subject under CON
sheraton now refers to the situation
in Pekin. and not to the future status
Of the Chinese Government"
JAPANS ACTION AT Annoy.
Japan's action at Annoy Is followed
with intense interest by the German
Government: but there Is no reason to
suspect that thus far the NIikado in
tends q permanent occupati ton of Annoy
Nevertheless, it is deemed advisable
that Germany also should be strongly
represented at Annoy in case the situa-
ton should thicken. The German gun
boat Tiger, which, with the first-class
German iron clad division, recently ar
rived at Hong Kong. has been ordered
to Annoy. The rest of the division will
be held In readiness at Hong Kong.
