Washington. March 22.-Altho the
situation at Tien Tsin was never re-
garded here as really dangerous, Off
cials felt that a prolongation of the hos
tile attitude of the British and Russian
forces might lead to trouble in the end,

the Chinese government could be re-

ability. But aitho in grave doubt
whether China can pay more than $780,

bound to secure compensation for its
citizens and itself to the same extent as
secured by other powers. and is espe-
cially resolved to do this because of the
conviction that a total abandonment of
our claims or even a heavy reduction
without corresponding action on the
part of other powers would rather in
sure than help China by destroying
whatever restraining influence the state
department has so far been able to ex-
ert upon the less sympathetic powers.

London, March 22After the ques-
1tions had been answered in the house
vi commons today the ..ee-a. leader. Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, moved an
adjournment Of the house in order to
call attention to the failure of the gov
ernment to give the house information
yesterday of the settlement of the Tien
Tsin dispute. The whole opposition
seconded the motion.
Government Leader Balfour declared
he never heard an adjournment sug-
gested on such frivolous pretext. Per-
haps 1t was desirable that Lord Lans-
downe should have sent information to
the house, but 1t was absurd to attack
him (Balfour) for not doing so.
