ENaLAND,s CHINESE POLICY.
Statement Outlining 1t Given to the
House of Commons.

London. May 21.-Lord Cranborne In
the house OF commons made general
statement on the China question, say
ing the governments chief concern az
present was, so far as possible. to mod
crate the demands for indemnity ana
see they did not infringe on CONNER
cial interests.
The government, therefore, he said,
was unalterably opposed to raising the
import duties to 10 per cent as security
for the payment of the indemnity anu
In reply to all such suggestions had
signiiied that Great Britain would only
consent to such n rise of duties In con-
nection with commercial improvements
in the Chinese fiscal system. such us
the abolition Of the likln taxes.
As to moderating the total indemni'
ty. there We're more ways than one OF
achieving that object, and China's bur
den might be perceptibly lightened by
the method of eXacting payment. III
regard TO the proposal that the indem-
nifty be betrayed by loan guaranteed
by concert Of the powers, undoubted'
ly China's obligation to pay the indem'
nifty was joint obligation, and though
he hoped ii would not he necessary, II
such Il loan was guaranteed It would
have TO be by the joint force of all the
powers.
The objection TO n joint guarantee,
however, was SO obvious that the gov
eminent would have nothing to do with
it. Considering that British credit
stood higher than that Of any other
power, while Great Britain only claim
ed small portion of the indemnity, II
would he nothing short of insane to
agree to Jointly guarantee the loan.
After mentioning that three high
placed 1elinqucnts had been executed
that three had been permitted to com.
nit suicide, that -four had been Danish.
Cd and that the powers had demanded
the punishment of lao provincial cul-
plitS Lord Cranborne concluded with
saying that, on the whole, the affairs
Of china were entering on more pa
ciic phase and that the government
hoped to soon withdraw n large portion
Of the British troops from that country.
