LONDON. Sept. 2s.--Judgtng from ap-
pearances. the British press 10 preparing
the way for the announcement that Lord
Salisbury has failed 20 agree to the pro-
posais contained in the German note. The
papers which at nrst anErfly declared
that the statement Of the Associated
Press was inaccurate are now either ST.
lent, or are taking the view that, after
all. 1t is doubtful IL II would be advisable
for Great Britain to become a party to
such a stringent measure. As a matter
OF fact. the statement regarding Lord Sal
isburys determination created 80 much
excitement and brought such severe COM
ment from Berlin. that 1t may result in
Great Britain's formal reply not being
delivered. and may induce Germany 20
agree to a compromise arrangement. The
long delay in Great Britain's formal reply
reaching Berlin increased the likelihood
of this happening. 1t is pointed out that
II would certainly suit Lord Salisbury. as
he has no inclination to incur German
animosi,y II II can be avoided.
Delay PIeases Conservatives.
Meanwhile the attitude OF the Euro
pean powers towards China remains In
the same chaotic state. The Conservative
party managers would, so far as Great
Britain is concerned. see this policy OF
delay extended over the next two weeks,
so that no more handlers can be afforded
tho Liberals In their attacks upon the
government. Tho chief object of these,
Mr. Chamberlain, seems TO be losing his
temper. In reply 20 a public statement

dent of the National Reform Union. re-

Mr. Chamberlain, however, n not cx-
pected to take the matter into the courts

the usually sedate cabinet minister.
