l
English Guards Said to Have Been
Withdrawn.
| Pekin. March 19.-It is reported here
| that the English have withdrawn their
guards from the railway switch at
Tientsin, and the right-of-way incident,
which threatened to cause trouble re-
Gently, is considered closed so far as
the authorities here are concerned.
London, March 19-Some oftthe after
noon papers say that the Tientsin diff
Guilty has been arranged. The nnsun-
Outstanding was due to the Chinese
granting the same concession to two
nations. The arrangements enables
Great Britain to proceed with the con-
struction of the railroad siding, but If
Russia's concession proves to be ear
lier than that of Great Britain, the lat
ter is to acknowledge the claims of
Russia.
The foreign office, however, has no In
formation tending to confirm the an
nouncemehts of an arrangement having
been made, and the officials are rather
inclined to doubt that such an arrange
ment has been arrived at They say
the original concession was given up by
Russia.
Lord George Hamilton, secretary for
India, replying to a question in the
House Of Commons to-day, said that no
disturbances were anticipated at Tien-
tsin, and that the sentries remained in
their previous positions with strict or
ders not to assume the aggressive,
pending the settlement of the immedi-
o+n Of tha f1T NV he
tary authorities on the spot He as
sured Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bartlett that
no instructions had been sent to the
British officers at Tientsin, either by
the government or by Sir Ernest Satow,
not to resist the seizure by the Rus
slams of the land required for the sid
ing.
When questioned as to whether the
agreement applied to
Lord Cranborne, under sec
rotary of the foreign office, intimated
that he thought it did He quoted
clause from the agreement whereby
both countries agree to direct their
policy towards maintaining the integ-
rity of the Chinese empire. This pro-
vision" sad Lord Cranborne, sis with
out qualification"
The afternoon newspapers welcome
the latest news concerning the awk-
ward situation of affairs at Tientsin as
the probability of the faces
IF both Russia and Great Britain be-
ng saved by the intervention of non !
Interested power.
Professor Douglas, of the British |
expresses the opinion that |
here is only one way to stop Russian
aggression in China, and that is for ''the
hree most interested states, America. I
England, and Japan, to combine in firm
'esstance."
Paris, March 19.-At a cabinet coun-
Ill to-day the minister of foreign af-
airs, NJ Delcasse, related the progress
# the peace negotiations at Pekin. He
aid the latest dispatches made no men,
ion of the incidents occurring at Tien-
sin.
Russia will not recede from the po-
ition she has taken in the matter of |
he railroad siding at Tientsin; of that
-ou can be assured" This statement
vas made to a representative of the AS
ociated Press by a high official of the
oreign Office. Continuing, this official
aid:
Russia will not advance ana viii act
lowly. But, having taken up the posi-
ion she now occupies, she will only be I
emoved therefrom by force. England
as been unsuccessful in her effort to
ecure the aid of other powers and at
ack Russia's position regarding Man
huria. She, therefore, is not likely to

resent instance. 1t is hardly possible
nat England will go to war over a ]
abroad siding with the Transvaal ques- S
on still pending. j expect to see Eng '
