Observers consider to be crisis In Chinese his

The Chinese Government is beset between
Russia on the one hand and Great Britain, the
United States and Japan the other. The
government is helpless, and will yield to that
faction able to bring the strongest pressure to
bear Prince Ching is distinctly more friendly
TO Great Britain than was Ii Hung Chang The
British American and japanese representatives
here nave separately visited Prince Ching anG
insisted they be shown any treaty before it is
signed Prince Ching has submitted to them
the draft of treaty practically identical TO the
treaty already published. Prince Ching is now
pressing Russia for more definite terms, the
present form of the treaty being so vague in it's
important points as virtually to leave Russia
free hand. The Japanese Minister has taken a
strong stand in the matter and has given notice
TO Prince Ching that Japan will require equva-
lent concessions to all the advantages conceded
to Russia in Manchuria.
The belief is general that Russia intends to
ignore what she regards mere formal objec-
tons on the part of the other Powers. Japan
would go TO the length of war to stop the Rus
