BITTER TO BRITAIN
France ReSents Action In the
Yang Use Valley.
KINDLY TO AMERICA
COURTESY IS SHOWN AMBASSA-
DOR PORTER AT CLERMONT.

Paris, Aug. 1S.-England's decision
| not to land troops in Shanghai when
convinced that the other powers would
follow her example is considered here
as not masking her real intention as to
China as being one of selfish interests.
Her intended Independent action
created not a little criticism now that
it has been checked; official circles 81
lently grin at what is regarded as a.
rebuff
II IS even stated that her course cast
suspicion upon the genuineness of Eng
lands attitude regarding the 'open
door policy, for had England been left
IN possession of the port of Shanghai
ana IN control of the rich resources of
/ the Yangtse valley. she easily could
! nave been satisfied with her position
whether or not the remainder of the
| powers secured commercial privileges
in the Oriental empire.
Inc Figaro, speaking of this, saws:
Tngland, in wishing to operate alone
] on the Yang-tse, seems to desire to
return to the policy of spheres of in
/ fuence, thus tripping al the theory of
the open door which lately she was
| defending ardently."
/ La Patrie gees even further. announc-
ing:
The powers have, after all. two
| struggles to Sustain-One Open.. against
/ the Chinese, the other entirely secret
| against England One scarcely knows
/ which predOminates-the duplicity of
! the chinese or the duplicity of Eng
land"
Other Source of Resentment.
! This, however, is not alone the source
OF resentment against what most
Frenchmen consider their perennial foe
/ -England-tor official iircles credit her
| Dy news dispatches originating from an
English source with an effort to belittle
the valor and courage of the French
! soldiers and marines in China. accusing
them of cOwardice
| england has not been unmindfuI of
the close accord in which the events of
| the last two months by associations
social and commercial. between the
French and American republics through
| the Washington and LAFAYETTE monu-
ments and the visitors to the exposi-
ton. have brought the two sister re-
publ1cs, said a prominent official to a
representative of the Associated Press
and she is now using the same meth
| obs pursued during the Spanish war TO
turn aside this sentiment and influence
American public opinion to the belief
that England is the greatest friend
America has among the European
powers
Royalists Have Reunion.
The annual reunion of ImDerialists
and ROyalists, which occurred on Wed
nesday last, should not arouse great
anxiety for the safety of the republic
| because of the character of these meet
lngs. The Imperialists themselves di-
Vided into two groups, holding separate
banquetS, one of which drank the
health of Louis Bonaparte. and sent a
message of homage to Empress Euge-
! ME, While the other was completely de-
voted to Victor Napoleon.
Success In the Sahara.
The occupation of Adrar. the princi.
pal city of the TOuat Oasis of NortE
Africa, by General Serviere. is consid.
cred success for the French army OF
no little Importance. General SERVER,
mas now complete possession of three
groups of Saharan oasis, and this has
been accomplished without striking q
blow, and it would appear that the
French are masters of the regior
stretching between Algeria, Tunisia
TripOli and Morocco.
Doubtless there will be struggles fol
independence on the part of the tribes
but one is able to foresee the day wher
these nomads will be forced to follow
the fate of others.
