WIN BY A MAJORITY oF>155 VOTES
Debate on the Question Is Sharp and
Warm and the Government
Is Defiant.

London. March 19.-The government
made Il Liberal challenge a question
OF confidence last night. and won
won hands down with Il majority of
155. The debate was on the Liberal
leaders motion for the appointment of
Il select committee to investigate the
whole commercial history of the South
African war. including the contracts
for the purchase of remountS. meat
and forage. and the contracts for
freight and transportation. The motion
WAS opposed by the government on the
ground that the work necessary for
such an investigation would practically
paralyZe the operations of the different
war departments in South Africa.
Debate Is Decidedly Warm.
There We're several acrimonious eX-
changes Of remarks. Reginald McKem-
na Q.iberal. commenting on the re
mount department. declared that wide
spread corruption in the horse pur-
ChaseS had been disclosed in almost
every country on the globe. Lord Stan
ley, financial secretary TO the war Of
flee. interrupted McKenna with an
angry denial of specific charge re-
cardinS the purchase of horses in
Spain. He said the statement was
maliciousIy false, and demanded proofs
OF the assertion made. Mckenna said
he took his facts from the report of
the comptroller and auditor general.
The imputation OF malice WAS wholly
false. He quoted figures and claimed
that they bore out his accusation.
Lambton Turns Loose His Guns.
I.ambtOn Uiberal UnioniSU drew Sir
Henry Campbcll- B0nnerman'S fire by
declaring that the leader of the oppo-
.ff l.,
taken from MANY people the cOnSola-
ton of feeling that their relatives who
had died in South Africa had fallen
honOrably in the service of their coun-
try.
To this Sir Henry replied. angrily
Il give the most complete and most
circumStantial denial To every word
the honorable gentleman has said
This statement caused confusion in
the house ana cries of ''Withdraw."
SiI Henry refused To withdraw. but
Iambton apologiZed TO the house, af-
ter quoting Sir HenrT-S laEguage ap-
piled to army operations. such as
methods Of barbariSm." etc. He add
eel that the house ought To demand an
authoritative declaration of the OppOSi-
tons attitude on this question.
BrOdrick Demands the Authority.
NR'tOn CAdvanced LibCrah Joined in
the attack on the government He de-
clared that the losses on transport OF
each column in South Africa amounted
to from EI0.OOO to 100000. When
challenged regarding his authority for
the statement. Norton said Brodrick
Uhe war secretary had ordered de
p3rtmental committee to investigate
the matter and had then pigeOn-holed
the evidence.
ASduith strongly supported Camp
bcll-BInncrman's motion. which he
cuutcnded was only a vote of cenSure
because the government had chosen TO
make it 50. Finally Il vote was taken
and Sir Hcnry'S motion wac defeated

CHINA BLUE BOOK
Greet Britain's Story of Negotia-
tions Following the Relief
OF the Legations.
BIG DIFFICULTIES THAT WERE MET
Uncle Sam and John Bull Frquent-
L. Against the FieId-Czar
and Manchuria.

London. March 19.-CoIncident with
the news of alarming rebellionS in
the provinces of China. the foreign
office has issued 4 voluminous blue
book dealing with the protracted ne
gotiations between China and the pow
ers from March Is. 1901, 10 Sept {,
1901, when the final protocol was
signed In the 2TJ pages of diplo-
matte dispatches. edicts and digests
of China's financial capabilities there
is ample evidence that the negotia
tiOns formed one of the most intri-
cate international webs in the his
tory of the world.
Remark Made by Count Lamsdorf.
One striking quotation, peculiarly
apt considering the present far east
ern situation. can be extracted from
dispatch of the British ambassador
at St Petersburg. Sir Charles $. Scott,
to Lord Lansdowne, the British for
eign secretary, in which Count Lams-
dOrf. the Russian foreign minister. is
quoted as saying he was pleased over
the fact that the British government
was deSirouS of Fastening Il return TO
normal conditions in China. but he
dreaded the possibility of fresh out
bursts Of auti-foreign fanaticism.
That Question of Scaling Down.
Throughout the extended negotia-
tiOnS on Ihe subject of the amount, di-
vision ana method of payment of the
Chinese indemnity Great Britain and
the United States appear from the
blue book TO have worked hand in
hand. though opposed 10y all the other
powers. After learning of the adverse
attitude of the continental nations to-
ward the United States proposition 10
reduce the indemnity To E4OO0O,OuO.
Lord LauS,lowne instructed Sir Ernest
Satow. British minister ut Pekiug. that
the figures erred on the side of liber-
ality. though hr was ready To agree
to Il more moderate reduction.
Opposed an International Guarantee.
Russian and the other powers siren
uousiy held out for a joint interna-
tional guaranty OF the Chinese loan.
This appears 10 have formed the rock
OH which the powers almost split.
Lord LanSdOwne refused To hear of Il
guaranty and Sir Ernest SatOw ca
bled as follows: The United States is
firmly opposed To any international
guaranty. Mr.. ROckhill, the United
States special commissioner. states
that the president is most anxious to
bring about reduction i'm the in
demnIty. Personally Mr. ROckhill is
disposed to abandon the limitation 10
E4O.OOO.OOO if the powers would agree
on Il declaration in favor of reducing
the amount"

POSITION OF THE UNITED STATES
As to Chinese Tariff Duties and a Guaran-
tsed Loan-AIanchuria.

As to Chinese Tarin Duties and a Guaran-
tsed Loan-Manchuria.
Gerald LOwther. then secretary Of
the British embassy at Washington.
sent All Interesting dispatch to Lord
LanSdowna- on June 10. 1901 saying
that Hill, IaSSiStant secretary of state.
had told him that the Russian and
French AMBASSADORS werc strongly and
repeatedly urging the United States
not TO oppose an increase in the mari
time customs of china. and that they
were using every effort to induce the
nited States to agree to a joint guar
antee loan. Hill. according TO Lowther.
said the United States would not agree
To Il. general increase in the duties on
certain articles. and he told the am
baSSadorS of France and Russia that
congress would never consent to as
sumo the financial liability of guaran-
tCeing Il loan.
In this. in most of the other lead
ing matters Anglo American diplo-
macy triumphed. though the United
States proposal to submit the indem-
nifty question to The Hague court of
arbitration met with Il refusal on all
sides. including Great Britain.
The British minister mt Peking. on
July -. 1901 summed Il long series of
imperial DEGREES promulgated for the
purpose of reforming abuses by say
ing: "They may he regarded as the
first step in the right direction. but the
dccrecS by themselves VIII not do much
to remedy the existing evils. What
lies at the root of the present NAL
administration is the sale of posts,
and the merely nominal salaries which
compel the mandarins to accept irregu-
lar sources of income. If China sue
coeds in shaking off her incubus she
Will have achieved what no other ma
tiCn. afflicted by similar curse has
ever vet accomplished"
The blue book contains only one inn
portant reference to Manchuria. The
British ambassador at st. Petersburg.
writing to Lord Lansdownc. quotes
Count I.amsdorf. April 10. 1901. aS'say-
ing that the ear adhered unswervingly
to his intention. so frankly and fire.
quently declared. to withdraw the Rus
sian troops and restore Manchuria to
it's former Chinese administration as
soon as the normal state of affairs and
the reinstatement at Peking of a le-
gitimate. independent. central govern
ment. capable of maintaining order in
the empire, permitted the Russian evac-
uotiOn.
