Thinks Chinese Question VIII Be
settled soon.
New York. May Minister p. II.
conger. who has lately returned to this
country, furnishes an article on the Chi
nese situation which will appear in the
coming number of Leslie's Weekly. MIR.
Conger says, in part:
.sUnless matters have changed very
materially since l left China six weeks
ago. the powers will reach some con-
clusion in regard to China very soon.
OF course, it ia difficult for eleven men
10 agree on anything, especially When
they have eleven governments with diff
fering views behind them. China Is per-
fectly willing to do anything that the
powers agree upon-that is, anything
within her ability TO accomplish. She is
only too anxious to expedite the mat
tiers and settle down to peaceful pur-
suits again. OF course, the powers must
not demand an indemnity which China
will be physically unable to raise. 1t is
not certain that. finally, some nation
may not demand territory of China in
lieu of money indemnity. 1t is per-
fectly certain that If any nation does
make this demand, the partition of Chi
ma will follow and this will inevitably
cause much dissension between the
powers. These difficulties and disputes
would be long in the settling, and would
lead to terrible confusion in China.
Russia has 80 far mitigated her de-
mands that there is not now much dan
ger of serious difficulty between her and
Japan. Personally, am very much in

out such a suggestion, and after some
slight diplomatic mention, the matter
ended. 1t is realized in Downing street
that any step toward securing the
opening up of Manchuria would be
construed at ST. Petersburg as direct
opposition to Russia's desires. The
British foreign office has not the slight
est intention of sembarking upon such
a fruitless task as the one Indicated
4 by the Times correspondent. and be-
lieves the United States and Japan
fully concur with that view.
1t is now feared that in spite of the
protest OF the United States and Great
Will be raised considerably above the
8 per cent increase to which Great Brit
ain consented in order to help China
meet the indemnity. That such action
will principally hurt American and
British trade is ,keenly appreciated in
Downing street, but. 1t appears that
the increase cannot be avoided without
the British and American withdrawal
from the concert which step Lord
Lansdowne does not contemplate for a
moment. No official notice has been
received here of Germans having fired
on the British flag.

AS far as the punishment of Chinese
officials goes, China has already done all
that she could. Something out of the or
oinary had to be demanded by the pow
ers, for it takes q good deal of punish-
ment to impress this people. and this
was no ordinary offense. In some cases
the officials whose punishment was de-
