THE ANGLo-GERlAN ALLIANCE.
Not Due to Action of King Edwards,
Says Sidney Lee.

LONDON. January s.-The Spectator
to-day gives much prominence to a
lengthy letter from Sidney Lee. the we'll
known lecturer and writer, denying that
the Anglo-Gern1an cooperation in Vene-
zuela is in any way due to the action of
King Edward. Mr.. Lee throws interest
ing and authoritative light on the rela-
lions between the King and his ministers.
There is no ground for the suspicion"
writes Mr.. Lee, that any revolutionary
change in the relations Of the sovereign
with the ministers has taken place du-
ring the last two years. The coil of ira
dition which now encircles the Premier
office Is FAR too heavy to permit him to
suddenly surrender any essential part of
his power or influence to the sovereign.
The sovereign can no more initiate a
policy for the ministers. or impose upon
them by the urgency of his appeal a
policy Of his own devising, than he can
by sole authority promulgate a new law.
The sovereign solely enjoys the right of
criticising the ministers proposals. IF a
minister deems these to be of any value
he has 1t in his power to adopt them.
But. in accordance with admitted custom.
he Invariably treats them as unauthori-
tative suggestions, and is entitled to
ignore them altogether, without in any
way prejudicing his relations with the
sovereign. who is debarred from offering
formal advice on any political question"

THE ACTION SINlSER.
WASHINGTON D. c., January 81
The State Department has received con-
firmatory advices from Pekin Of the de-
clination Of the Powers to receive their
second indemnity instalment on the sill
yer basis. It is not understood that the
decIinauon was accompanied by a threat,
but the action itself is regarded as sanis-
ter. if, as has been suggested, it is not
taken with a view to making a record
of the Powers in this matter The situa-
ton is regarded here as warranting some
concern, though, unless the Washington
government is to utterly discredit every
statement Of the Powers in the past two
years, whenever the possibility of g divi-
sion of China came up. it cannot believe
there is an intention to proceed to ex-
tremes. 1t IS again suggested that the
time is ripe for reference OF this import
ant issue to The Hague tribunal. con-
summation devoutly wished by China,
and course which has been commended
itself to the Washington government
THIS COUNTRY FEELS FOR CHINA.
The United States, which is interested
equally with the other powers in getting
as much money as it can In the shape OF
indemnity, still feels bound by moral law
to support the Chinese contention for
the silver basis, looking not only upon
the language of the protocols and the
Pekin treaty ITSELF but also having a
solicitous regard for China's integrity and
perpetuity as nation. The other Pow
ers are united in demanding a settlement
on the gold basis. This is an issue which
in the mind of the officials here. is emil
nently adapted to the methods of arbitra-
ton So far. China alone has suggested
a reference to The Hague tribunal, but
it is possible, and even probable, that If
the Powers Should seem to be going to
extremes, the United States government
will again feel bound to discharge its
duty under article q. of The Hague tri-
bunal, and point the way to arbitration
